evidently its totally hot.
I know I blogged about my inability to locate black nailpolish at walgreens the other night, and how strange I found that to be, but today when Eduardo and I embarked on a short shopping trip for a variety of goods (brita water filter anyone?), this search took a turn for the worst.
I suppose its only natural that I haven't been able to keep tabs on the trends - but black nail polish is evidently quite en vogue, much to my chagrin. Goddamnit. I haven't really kept up with my monthly reading of W and Vogue - the last two months have been sitting on my coffee table, gathering dust. I suppose if i'd read them, i'd have known how trendy black nail polish is. I made the mistake of going to Nordstroms and asking first the Chanel counter girl who then asked the Yves St. Laurent counter girl if they had any black nail lacquer and got an earful. Seriously this world of retail sales is too much for me. She like was amazed that I was asking for it - because its been out for SEVEN WEEKS and now its being sold on Ebay for $90 dollars. Whatever lady. Back off. And then she like kept yelling at us as we walked away from her, just SO INCREDIBLY DUMBFOUNDED that we had the audacity to ask for BLACK NAILPOLISH. It was like asking for the ungettable and just our inquiry was enough to send her into a rage of "you've got to be kidding me." It was beyond annoying. So I left and went to Sephora. They (SHOCK AND AWE) had black nailpolish - just three bottles, smallsized, I bought two and left the last one for another person, presumably as awestruck as I am about how impossible the black nailpolish is to get. So annoying. So glad Eduardo was there. He summed it up back "that girl was crazy and it was sort of like, 'we weren't even TALKING to you.' " Not like that mattered. I guess this is sort of a call to arms - go to any department store and inquire about black nailpolish and see how the counter staff reacts - epic proportions of panic, probably. Unreal.
