"The cat is beauty and the beast, a baffling blend, a wicked feast.”
One of the random swags I grabbed from the Peach and Lily Sample Sale this week is an Asian country staple: whitening body cream. I guess when I was in Vegas dealing with Angela’s ultra bright paleness, the Asian-from-Asia part of me felt shamed that I was the shade of many poor maids.True story, my auntie in Hong Kong looked at me up and down and asked “You’re not poor, why are you so dark?”. People tan in the West Auntie!
Fine, Angela, I’ll show you:
If you are reading this, it’s TOO LATE. Too late for sanity, and definitely too late to grab anything that I hoarded when I was there at NOON on the dot yesterday (Wed Aug 5, 2015.) Blame Ange and the other 3 cohorts that put in orders. This is a bird’s eye view of what I hoarded on their behalf:
And from a scale of Frank Gallagher (Shameless) to Cersei Lannister (SHAME) I’m somewhere in the middle. I took a couple of things of each (except for 5 Shangpree gold masks, but plenty was left when I was there.) Some people TOOK THE ENTIRE SHELF of any items.

Because I’m immature, funny packaging make me squeal like this semi-phallic and semi-realistic reproduction of a bamboo section by Tony Moly.

When I met up with Angela in LA, she was a woman on a mission to Daiso. For those who aren’t familiar, Daiso is a Japanese dollar store where all kinds of housewares are $1.50. It’s highly addictive because many items are made in Japan and of decent quality. It really only exists in Asia and the West Coast. Daiso’s beauty section can be huge and includes awesome stuff like false lashes and this WTF item that A was hunting for:

I was ‘bacon’ in the damn New York late July heat wave (96 degrees) and running errands in Chinatown when I was sucked into Tony Moly’s new store on Centre street. Yes, I was sucked into the store because of its marvelous air conditioner. The salesgirl also handed me a fan (you know one of those fans with ads printed on them; they hand them out all over Asia)! Whoohoo!
Immediately I had to grab this. Look at HOWCUTE this is! Please try to forget the “extracted from pig’s skin” print 😦

I was at Artland in San Gabriel, CA when I was confronted by an existential question of epic proportions: “Will You Be A Cat?”
