First Visit to New JC Penney in Hampton

I went to the new J.C. Penney in Hampton this morning — the only reason why I went was because they have a mini Sephora. I don’t really have a good review of the store since this is all I went to today. So I’ll just have to talk about the Sephora.

This mini version actually does carry a lot of things. Of course, not every name brand sephora.com offers (for example, no NARS), but a good choice. These are the brands I saw:

Lorac
Smashbox
Philosophy
Bare Esentuals (The lady there put it on my face and it was all flakey and pasty looking)
Urban Decay
Stila
Too Faced
Benefit
Burjouis
Bliss

It’s really nice, considering that Hampton Roads hasn’t had a Sephora since the one at MacArthur center closed just a year after opening.

Rite Aid Across the Street From Another Rite Aid (Smithfield, VA)

This brick Rite Aid was an Eckerd that moved out of the shopping center in 2002 or 2003. The original Rite Aid across the street opened in the late 1990’s (its that blue building in that distance). It’s a pretty crappy building now.

Maybe soon they will just merge the two.

I’ve been composing this for the past couple of months. None of these videos are mine, and I’ll constantly be adding on to it.

Pee Wee Christmas Special Commercial Break (1988)

Multiply Mirror

Includes:

-Lego (with Zack the Lego Maniac.)

-Wind Song (with a Tori Amos look a like)

-Pee Wee’s Playhouse

-A Christmas Carol (with the guy from the Equalizer)

-Citibank (I have so many parodies of these ads in my commercial collection)

-Osco (check out how expensive those blank VHS tapes are! And how cheap those Little Golden books are)

-“Will we be having a white Christmas? Tonight’s forecast at 10”

——

This is from my own commercial collection (scraped together from friend’s tapes). One of the reasons why I’m posting it here is because of the Osco commercial and the VHS tape prices. It reminded me of my post earlier this month involving the “I’M BUYIN'” Wal Mart guy who just got a new VCR and he needed some tapes.

The Complete 1983 Sears Wishbook

You know back in 2005 when I did a series on the 1983 Sears and J.C. Penney Christmas Catalogs my mom saved for me?

Well, someone on Flickr has THE ENTIRE CATALOG SCANNED.
