great saturday!!!
Jun. 20th, 2004 09:02 amgod, i had so much fun yesterday. i love those days when it's all about me, totally selfish fun and a whole day to do it. *grin* went to the prudential center in the morning to spend several hours (for non-bostonians, the "pru" is a huge beautiful mall in the city, on the 1st 2 floors of a big office building). went to sephora 1st for my makeover, it was a hoot. the girl who did my makeup had the most flawless skin i've ever seen in my life... i'd take any skin advice she had, she could have told me to rub gasoline on my face every day and i'd do it. anyway, she did a great job with my makeup... she used a lot of the colors i already owned, which i guess shows i kind of know what i'm doing... but she made me look pretty darn good. of course afterwards i bought a bunch of the stuff she used, plus some extras (i couldn't resist getting a pair of false eyelashes trimmed in rhinestones... rrowrr).
afterwards i wandered around the rest of the mall. i promised myself that i was going to go into every store i've never been in because i thought they were too pricey/the clothes wouldn't fit/insert other reasons here. i went into saks and checked out the lux shoes... jimmy choo, stuart weitzman, manolo blahnik, prada... beautiful, but i'm sorry, not worth $600 a pair. the overly tanned sales guy came over, and looked me up and down, saying, "may i help you with something?" i was thiiiiis close to buying the most expensive pair i could find, from ANOTHER sales person, just to wipe that smug look off his face (i could have afforded it, but it would have blown a chunk of my savings). instead i just said "no, thanks" and focused negative energy on him as he walked away.
found a kick-ass skirt in a store called barami... it was the last one, and in my size, meaning of course i was destined to have it... it's a black mid-calf a-line skirt, that's covered with zippers and assymetrical pockets and strings hanging down. very punk, maybe too young for me, but i love it.
got back in time for manis and pedis with one of my girlfriends and her sister, who's wicked cool. her sister's very rockabilly, jet black hair and red lips and hot pink fishnets and all. has some neat tattoos that she did herself. we got our nails done, then went out for a drink, which turned into four drinks. we just kept ordering rounds, and i'm sorry, but sex-on-the-beach martinis go down waaaay too easy. after all those drinks in two different bars, i was ready for bed by 9pm. woke up at midnight with a ripping headache... thank god i had some children's aspirin (for the cat!) in the house. don't feel too bad this morning, just dehydrated. have to get into work mode to do some of my weekly reports... i'll procrastinate and shower first...
