    I was about to say something like "I really wish I look as good as Julia by the time I'm fortysomething," then I realized, (*sigh*) I wish I looked like Julia Roberts now.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with my appearance and all but shit... girl's got perfect skin.

    Sephora vending machines in actual stores seems like a slightly odd choice, but if they put them in ladies' loos, I would be on that like it was cake. It would be so brilliant to do the baleful old I-look-like-death glance in the bathroom mirror, and then just nip over and get a little good-quality blush or a fresh mascara. It would sell like the dickens.

    Somehow these items read like my train of thought when really truly baked - Julia Roberts is so pretty... like that lady's bracelet. Think she'll give it to me if I ask. Oh my god, you know what would be hilarious, if like David Lynch directed a fashion commercial. God I'm hungry, is there a vending machine around here? Dude, vending machines should totally sell makeup. Then I could like get a twinkie and a fuckin lipgloss at THE SAME TIME. I'm a genius. You know what's awesome? Horses. And dancing. People should like dance. On horses. Like a horse ballet. Does that exist? It should because that would be awesome. You know what's really sad? Oprah. Dude... where are my cheetos?

    Okay, but then how do I get the Sephora products back into the vending machine once I've stuck my grimy fingers in every single container, contracted pink eye, and made myself up to look like Harvey Dent's epileptic, washed-up drag queen cousin, hmm? These are the practical questions, people.

    @GreyEminence: It is smug. Horribly so. But! I've fantasized about doing exactly that. You know, like I'm driving past an adorable little house, and I imagine walking up to their door and leaving a note: Call me. Whatever the value of your house, I will give you double for it. I think I do this not out of dreams of ridiculous wealth, but because my own house is so very ugly.

    ETA: My house isn't really ugly. It just needs a lot of work, and I don't have the money to make any of it happen. So I get house-envy, you see.

    Though there could be an upside to having your brand name being a catch phrase of sorts on a popular show. And Lacroix himself must have like the show, at least enough to do that cameo.

    Spongebob is part of the movement towards the new masculinity. He loves Krabby Patties and high fashion, he hunts for jellyfish, but only catalogues them and lets them go, he looks up to a female scientist of a different species than his own, and he's not afraid to hug his best male friend in public.

    We can all learn from Spongebob.

    @hydrogen_jukebox: Spongebob was doing well enough without a makeover that Rescue Beauty, some of the most beautiful also most hideously expensive nail enamel on the market, named three of their shades after his inspiration:

    Square Pants
    Starfish Patrick
    Bikini Bottom

    and they sell like stupid.
    So King Karl could, you know, go quietly back to his fat hate and leave the Bobster alone.

    @Rooo sez BISH PLZ: I didn't hear about that. Though I think that appropriating Spongebob into adult-things without enough tongue in your cheek just makes it look dumb. Case in point.

    And it is kind of unfortunate that Karly-poo had to be the one to do this: imagine what he'd say about Patrick behind his back.
