I was scanning this morning’s newspaper…
You know, the Federal Reserve has plans to toss an additional $630 billion (with a “b”) into the global financial system in order to make lots of cash available worldwide. The Government’s financial rescue plan failed in Congress and the Dow Jones Industrial Average crashed the largest 1-day point drop ever. Gas prices continue to be high. Housing prices and sales continue to plunge. Consumer spending is the weakest it has been, threatening the economy even more.
BUT… The TurboLash All Effects Motion Mascara from Estee Lauder, $30 and exclusive to Saks, sold out. Take heart, though. This magic little gem, featuring a wand that shimmies (yes, as in shimmies) and promises an even coat of mascara as it hums like a hummingbird over your lashes at 125 micro-pulses per second, will soon be restocked on esteelauder.com. Yes, ladies, if we’re just patient enough for the re-stock, $30 will get us well-tipped lashes as we stir our beans, pump our gas, roll our pennies and rosily rivet our house repairs…
Can someone please call the people at Estee Lauder and ask if they could take a little look-see at our federal government’s financial woes? I mean, they’re doing something right!
Haha wow really people are ready to pay 30$ for mascara and complain about gas price!
I think you could save more then 30 $ if you save a trip to the store to buy one of those LOL
You’re even more observant than I am. It is amazing what people will find the money for if they want it enough.
I’m talking about the same thing but a different take on my blog. We’re both onto something… maybe Estee Lauder’s marketing team can help the government out and put the right spin on the issues to make health care, education and paying your mortgage as attractive as fabulous eye lashes until people learn to be responsible and less selfish.
It’s so awful, but I will absolutely complain about gas prices, then drop $20+ on mascara (I’m a DiorShow girl!). It’s just that it makes my eyelashes look so nice, and I like to think of it as my personal contribution to an economic boost.;)
Yes, us ladies have to look good…especially us grandma’s.
