The job is, in many cases, the second one a girl has after working in a fast-food chain, and the wage scale reflects that short step up the career ladder. The frenetic pace of the drive-thru is still there, as are the constellations of acne breakouts (due, I guess, to a promiscuous level of cosmetic experimentation).

I wish both the Fashionista & cosmeticsettlement.com site gave more information about how to receive the goods. Do I just go up to the counters and say, “Hello, I bought make-up during these dates, I’d like my free product?”

Love the list of best movie posters of 2008. However, this poster would have to be my favorite for 2008:

OMG the new Duane Reade logo is horrible! It’s so early 90s! If it has to be dated, leave it in the 60s. What a waste!

Ashe Mischief: Not sure, really! It seems that straightforward though from the bit of information I’ve gathered…
Skelerina: That poster is totally cool. Love the 60s pop feel of it!
Annie: Totally. I left my opinion off when I linked it, but it is truly, truly terrible! The original one was at least interlocking and made sense.
Gala: The new one is worse, though. At the very least, they could have turned the old one black and white and saved a ton of money (and mockery)!
