This girl has wished upon many a star.......

[Claire]

.......which is why my dreams are coming true!!!

Now this is just rumor, can't find anything for sure on the internet, but I have it on good authority that a Sephora is being built (for?) near me. Exactly 7.3 miles away (but who's counting). It's supposed to be going up inside Washington Square Mall, in the 'burbs, but in the 'burbs closest to my side of town, so I'm not complaining!!!

(Okay, I'll complain a little......why not downtown? Seriously??? Across from Saks? It would be perfect, and only 2 miles away from me and close to all I hold near and dear, like the 47 Starbucks and my favorite martini bar and the best sushi place? Seriously? The 'burbs? WTF!?!?! I mean, I could go there, get a good smoky eye going, then go out for a drinky!! But I can't drive out to BFE for a smoky eye, then back downtown for a drinky....what would be the point?)

I'm seriously heading over there today, supposedly to spend a gift card at Nordstrom, but um, really, I'm scouting out the Sephora location....looking for the black and white awning, peeking in windows, asking construction workers if they know when it will open, or heartbreak of heartbreaks, finding out it's not opening at all, and I've been made a fool.

Now if someone will only build a Starbucks in my kitchen (complete with my own hot, stubbled barista with those dreamy brown eyes!), buy me a hover-craft, and let spiral perms truly come back into style, I'll be in heaven!!
