DENIED: Bigotry of the Obamatrons by Charles Winecoff
Recently, at the office (a place I sometimes affectionately refer to as Obama Central), I made the mistake of printing out a Washington Post editorial that questioned the foreign policy expertise of our new Commander-in-Chief. By the time I got to the printer to pick it up, someone else had already seen it - and stamped “DENIED” across the top of the page in red ink. Next to that was scrawled, “RIGHT WINGER GO HOME.”
The first thing that went through my mind was: cross burnings.

Here's the promised second part of my stash photos - this time, my eye makeup. The next post should encompass face, cheeks, brushes, and palettes, but we'll see how ambitious I'm feeling...

My 'rents have come to visit me over my spring vacation, so of course, I had them bring me more makeup, me being an incurable BPJ - albeit one on a student budget, meaning I'll just skip some meals and get that new MAC lipstick anyway! But I never pass up the opportunity to get fresh goodies, and I thought I'd share the resulting haul with you, my fellow BPJs, because I know I'm not the only person out there who just sees a picture of makeup and drools! :-p I've also included my early impressions of their performance, but I've only had this all for a few days...

I'm totally hooked on Urban Decay. I still only have a handful but my collection is growing.
I just went to the mall to replace a pair of jeans that a certain evil puppy chewed a hole in, and as I was walking past Sephora, I just HAD to walk in.
