I am officially old

[anotheranon]

Surfed MAC Cosmetic's site last night, only to discover they've discontinued my favorite lipstick color.

I went shopping for DVDs last weekend and passed through the CD section only to find that one of my favorite band's last albums is out. Not only is it their last album, but me, former vinyl fiend, didn't know this, didn't care, and didn't end up purchasing it (MP3s, don't you know - do I really want another disc taking up shelf space?)

I used to be a vinyl (as in LPs, records, 12" singles) fiend, as opposed to compulsive CD collector (though, admittedly, there was some of that) :P

What makes me old is that I don't care about hipness/plugged-inedness to pop culture as much anymore. Perhaps I've spent too much time with my head in history books to care about the here and now.

Still, it would be nice to discover a new favorite MAC lipstick :P

It's traumatic when they discontinue a beloved lipstick, I hear ya.

Lipstick colours are like good bra models ... gotta stockpile! (someday we'll find the moron that advises businesses that discontinuing popular lines is good PR and strangle him/her)

If you tell me the shade, I can scout the MAC store down the street and see if they've got any left.

Vista - if they don't have it, don't worry about it. I'm probably overdue for a trip to the local MAC counter and "makeover" (skin tone changes over time after all)...

And, thank you in advance!

No problem ... most shops have a sale basket of discontinued stuff, so ya never know. And I was contemplating a run up to the comic shop tomorrow, which means driving right past the mall with the MAC. :-)

I'm still looking for the perfect color -- I think I found it in a Clinique line -- not too red, not too brown, not too mauve. You're ahead of me at least -- you FOUND your perfect color already!!! :D

I tried ...

Checked the local MAC sites ... they have both a full store and a separate store-sized section in The Bay in Chinook Centre ... and nary a trace of Vista or any other discontinued stock in either. Looking at what's on offer on their racks, though, I'd say you'll have difficulty narrowing down to just one new favourite shade. :-)

I don't give a fuck about hipness...

...but check out Amadou and Mariam anyway.
