When I’m in a bad mood, some things on the internet make my day.  This is one of them.

ATTENTION MEN!

So, it’s early to think about Christmas gifts, I know. But when I see a gift that is universal for my sex, I think of all those poor guys out there who have a lady to buy something for and can’t figure out what to get. Your worries are over. Presenting, the Tarte Holiday Palette from Sephora. I wish I could link the flash zoom pictures, they convey the beautifulness of this gift even better.

Palette includes:
-16 brand-new eyeshadows
-16 brand-new lipglosses
-4 gel eyeliners
-4 cheek stains
-3 24/7 lip sheers
-Eyelid primer
-Luminizer
-Eyeshadow & eyelining brushes

Picture a sheening leather lavender case, quilted on the top, and inside the most beautiful array of products I’ve seen in my short little life. It makes me want to weep. I saw it in person and bought 3 of them. Bam, Christmas shopping ova. I admit, I have a fixation on makeup palettes, they are my achilles credit card tendon, but this is an out of this world deal. This brand is usually so expensive, it’s too steep for me to even look at in the store. But this is only 52 BUCKS! IT’S LIKE $500 WORTH OF STUFF. Ok, Felicia, calm down.

I swear I’m not getting paid for this at all. I just want to alert everyone because these palettes sell out really quickly, so if you think your loved lady would enjoy it, go get it off the website. Also, they have free shipping on this thing too. Ciao!

Since When did Facebook become gross?

I got a message from someone about the new Facebook app about a new way “….for you to connect to things other than people, without cluttering your Friend List.” The blog entry can be read here. The upshot is, you can create a Facebook page for fans, of your TV show, film, carpet cleaning company, snack food, whatever. People can add themselves as “fans” and you can contact them, upload videos, etc.

Fine, I do it for The Guild. We have a Facebook group already, but I’m first to jump on new stuff, so I do it. A whole page pops up about creating an ad. This is when it gets creepy.

Boost your activity with Facebook Ads

Create an ad campaign to drive traffic and engagement with your Website, Application, or Facebook Page.

Advanced Targeting
Target by age, gender, location, interests, and more.
Content Integration
Get noticed, not skipped.
Flexible Pricing
Buy clicks (CPC) or impressions (CPM).
Trusted Referrals
Attach friend-to-friend interactions about your business to your ads.

Yeah. I start clicking, and all these options come up. I could create an ad targeting 13-15 year old boys in high school, in Georgia who are single, conservative, work at McDonalds, who like rock music and World of Warcraft and…what the fuck!? It even provides an option to have a little testimonial thing next to your ad from a “friend” of yours, like “Felicia bought tickets to Dave Matthews Yesterday” next to a Dave Matthews advertisement.

I don’t know about you guys, but it seems like a crazy invasion of privacy. Yes, I volunteered that information because it was part of setting up a page. Yes, I supposed I signed my rights away at some point for them to market it so this is semi-legal, but when it’s in your face like that…I don’t know, it makes me feel pretty skeeved out.

It makes me want to go back to MySpace, and man, you guys know how hard THAT is for me. I’d kinda rather have cluttered and disorganized, than sleek, shiny and diabolical.
