Is this a thing or something?

I don't go in Ulta very often but lately it seems like every time I do - there's...cripe...I don't even know where to begin.

Two weeks ago, I was there looking for travel bottles of entirely too expensive shampoo/conditioner that the store supposedly had in stock. An gay guy I guess with perfectly, perfectly, waxed eyebrows and makeup, including mascara, flitted around the store a little, found the products for me, while discussing the merits of the shampoo vs a similar product. He was polite, as is every one in the store, but I don't know why, I don't want to be waited on by a guy wearing mascara anymore that I want to be waited on by a women with a five o'clock shadow.

So today I went in for another hair product and the girl that checked me out had bright green hair with dark roots, tarantula eyelashes, lips outlined in dark liner and a huge white spiderweb painted on her face. What the heck was up with that? Is it National Clown Day, or National Be KInd to Spiders Day or something like that? She also had a button on that said Smile which immediately made me even crabbier.

When did it become a thing (and I'll grant you I don't see it often) to be a representative of the store and not look a normal person and why does it bother me. Is it my age or something, I really don't get it.

Ulta here is a freakshow, too. I wouldn't mind the gay guy but he's WAY overly made up and looks like a mess, but he looks better than the trashy girls that work there. I'm back at the Walmart and Walgreens for my makeup stuff. I don't need $40 mascara anyway.

I probably don't need $39.00 shampoo either. But I've yet to be convinced that Mane and Tail is a good substitute.

Green Bean LOL. Was she wearing the spiderweb and matching tarantula eyelashes?
Yes. I almost went in there today after getting my toes did next door today, but after spending $114 last weekend, I took a hard pass.

But you did gift a few of us a really nice mascara a few years ago. Do you remember it? I'd buy it if I could recall.

One of my wife's birthday presents every year is a 1 litre bottle of Aveda Rosemary & Mint shampoo. $67.00. Expensive, but if she stretches it out she can get 10 months out of it.

some fine, fine patrons from the Nations Capitol visited Ulta in Prince Frederick. Golly Day, silly women forgot to pay for over $500.00 of "merch" and decided to go home.
Well, not so fast ladies. The Calvert County Sheriffs dont "play dat".
I guess the message went out. No problems since then.

I think it was DiorShow? That was a good mascara :yay: but now I like Maybelline Falsies Lash Lift for like $10.

I really had to bite my tongue before I asked her WTF's with the spider web.

Did you ever see Hunger Games? The people that were forced to participate were all normal looking people but the people that lived in the City were all freaky and considered themselves to be beautiful.

That's what all this reminds me of boys will be girls and girls will be boys, and sometimes people will be tarantulas. Freaky is normal and normal is boring. Except for Lola L-O-L-A Lola.

Whelp. I think I've had enough vanilla for one day.
