Thankful 23

I'm thankful for Sephora. 

Hello, my name is Zookeeper and I'm a make-up addict.  I'm pretty sure Sephora is going to have me go broke. 

And even worse - it might even turn me into a girly-girl.  I've already bought hot rollers.  Hell, I even bought travel hot rollers just last night!!!

Although my experience today did make me feel very old.  Even though little 20-something "Lindsey", Sephora employee, didn't intend to make me feel old.  Actually she was extremely helpful, courteous and fun.  But here are two snippets from my shopping trip.

L:  yes, do what you're doing, dab gently under your eye with your ring finger.  Just like that!  This stuff is great!  It will keep your shadow from creasing and everything!
me: yeah.  I'm getting to that age where my concealer creases.  Well, lots of things are creasing around my eyes...
L:  Yeah!  My mom says that same thing!!!
me: (great....)

Later while standing in front of the chubby eye sticks (insert own joke here) I admit to my make-up obsession.

me: I have lots of make-up I just don't use it.
L: Why not?!?!  You should get it out and play around with it more!  Try new things!!
me:  I just don't know what to do with it.
L:   Well....  (dramatic pause)...  do you know YouTube is?  (said slowly and drawn out as if I miss it and she might have to repeat.)
me: yeah.  (dear god!  when does this chick think I was born?!?!  1924?)
L:  Ok! Well you can go on there and watch lots of tutorials!  That's what I do all the time!!

Gee, thanks... 

(actually, I think I will!)
