Bond, James Bond

I saw the new James Bond this weekend. Someone told me that they were releasing it here a week before it was released in the US. Is that true? Has it come out there yet?

It is okay, not as good as the previous one, mostly because of the director, I feel like a film critic, but seriously, everything was too close up. Oh well, I don't go to Bond movies for an intellectual experience, and there was lots of M so that was good.

Anyway, even though that is the subject of this blog I actually wanted to write about something different. I saw the movie at the mall (yes, a mall here, it is pretty new, they are still building half of it) and did some shopping before the movie. First I got a new pair of Reeboks, yes they have Reeboks here, and Nike too, but I'm a Reebok girl. Same shoes, but they all have colors on them, I like super plain shoes but super plain just doesn't happen in India, so I got a pair with some color, kind of a magenta. So, after buying a pair of sneaks I went to Clinque to buy makeup. Yes, there is a Clinque store here. Strange, but true. I'm not totally out of foundation yet but went early based on a hunch of mine...a hunch which turned out to be true. I am so pale that they have to special order the base for me because they don't carry that shade in stock. They tried to get me to do a darker shade but agreed when I tried it on that it looked really fake, I just don't think they believed that I really am that pale, they even had me take off the foundation I had on to see my real skin color to make sure I wasn't using something paler than my skin; they were very surprised to see that it is an exact match.

Too funny, and completely logical. When 99% of the population is darker skinned why would they carry something that pale. So in a week or so I will get my special ordered super pale foundation, and because this is India they will deliver it to me at home. Gotta love that!
