Sephora-ed.

So, my small bundle of readers, do you remember when I went to visit my friend in Boston? No? Me neither. Ha!

Well anyway, my friend introduced me to my own personal Disneyworld: Sephora! For those not in the know, Sephora is a huge cosmetics, facial, hair care, perfume, basically whatever you want to beautify yourself short of actual plastic surgery. They carry tons of lines, from Jessica Simpson's dessert line (nasty) to Dior make-up (wonderful). And the best part is: you can try EVERYTHING!

I don't know about you, but I am the type of girl that will go into Wal-Mart's cosmetic section and try to covertly try stuff there. This is not so easy, because you have to do it without the staff seeing you, or the cameras. Trying out cover-up there is an exercise in futility because you sweat so much from fear of being caught that the cover-up refuses to stick to your skin. The sales people also become very suspicious if you show up in the check-out line with a rainbow of colors on your fingernails. Have you ever tried to pay for something without actually using your hands? Trust me, they are very reluctant to take money presented to them with your teeth.

So the beauty of Sephora is is that you can try anything! They have little stations set up with everything yo grande es que la gente guarda estos videos, y los han compartido conmigo, y asi ahora yo se los puedo vender. (risas) Seriamente, el hecho de que algunos de esos shows ni siquiera los recordaba, me vuela la cabeza. ¡Nunca antes me dí cuenta de lo mal que tocabamos!"

Sobre si el hecho de que los miembros de S.O.D. se separaran en malos terminos tiene algo que ver con lanzar este DVD:

"No. Recuerda esto Charlie Benante, dejó S.O.D. después del primer show de la gira europea, asi es que no tiene ningún derecho a decirme algo. Lilker es un volado que aún le gusta lo que era S.O.D. y respeta a los fans incluso más de lo que yo lo hago, y Scott Ian, es un judío, y ama el dinero por sobre todas las cosas. Creo que eso lo dice todo."

S.O.D. comenzó a mediados de los 80 durante una pausa en las grabaciones del álbum "Spreading the Disease" de ANTHRAX. Lo que partió como un juego para Scott Ian, Charlie Benante, Dan Lilker, y el políticamente incorrecto Billy Milano, terminó siendo una gran influencia en muchas bandas de hardcore, metalcore y post-hardcore. El primer álbum, "Speak English Or Die", ha vendido más de 400,000 copias y es todo un clásico, imperdible, del underground.
