Tsumori Chisato for Shu Uemura & awkward story

So I know I'm super late at jumping on the Tsumori Chisato for Shu Uemura Holiday Collection bandwagon, but I just couldn't help myself! I am enamored with the packaging. I LABORED over deciding if I should get something or not. Since most of you know that I love love LOVE anything CUTE, but hate hate HATE pricey cosmetics, this was a tough decision for me (Uhm, hello? $25 for a lipstick?!)

I ultimately decided to order the Tsumori Chisato Limited Edition Rouge Unlimited Jupiter Brown. The name "Jupiter Brown" was immediately a huge turn-off. However, after reading several reviews, it seems to be a nice natural pinky-brown with gold shimmer... good for most skintones. Either way, if I hate the color, I can be content just staring at the packaging with a stupid smile on my face. It's just that cute.

- - - And here's something I just HAD to share - - -

This is one of the most random, awkward, and weird things that I have ever experienced.

Last week at work, an old, chubby, beared caucasian man came into our gallery. He had one of those medical/hospital bracelets around his wrist(!). He walks up to the counter, where there was a big gyotaku fish print lying on the table.

Man: *Laughs* We ate that fish for dinner!
Me: O_o
Man: We named him Herbie!
Me: O____o

My dad came out to see what was going on.

Man: Have you ever been to Wake Island?
My dad: No?
Man: Yeah, there's a bunch of goony birds there. I feel real sorry for them. I saw one fly into a tree! And it's toungue was all hanging out and I didn't know what I should do with it. But it got up and flew away. But those birds are almost extinct now. Something in the water...
My dad: O__o

He walked around the gallery for 10 minutes.

Man: This is nice artwork. Do you make any of this?
My dad: No, it's from various artists.

5 minutes later...

Man: This is nice artwork. Do you make any of this?
My dad: No...

At this point, we're totally bewildered.
My dad goes back to work, and grabs a moulding corner sample.

Man: Is that a BOOMERANG?
My dad: No, it's a moulding corner sample.
Man: What?!

He proceeded to walk around inside for a little while longer, then went outside and walked around in front of our shop for another 10 minutes. Then he crossed the street, got into a truck, and drove away.

WTF.
Did this guy escape from the loony bin??

  2. Oh that packaging is LOVE!!!

    That guy was prob a mental patient or something. Your dad should've asked for his name and got a good looksie at the hospital tag. Or he can call 911 and give them his description and how he was acting. Maybe a hospital is looking for him?

  3. OoOo I love the packaging too! :D

    haha yeah, I was going to name it "Strawberries Wild" but then I decided on "Kiwi Watermelons" ;)

    Oh yeah, thankfully they paid for the damages to the truck.

    Are you guys selling one of your cars to buy the Beamer?
