Don't be fooled by the fancy header. Neon Bible is a blog for poor people. Poor people with credit cards and drawers full of MAC. We write about makeup, models, japanese jewelry, vancouver, and stuff you can buy at shoppers drug mart. Besides the internet, you can find us in Fukuoka, Montreal and Vancity.
Right now, when you shop Sephora online (which I don’t recommend if you live in Vancouver, because it takes like a month for your stuff to arrive) you can get 14 scent and skincare samples for your boyfriend (or dad, or brother) including something called beard lube from Jack Black, a brand of super manly skin care products that my boyfriend actually uses and enjoys. Enter the code HANDSOME at checkout and you’re on your way.

Last month I wrote a post about my obsession with the earrings of Watchman’s heroine Laurie/Silk Spectre II. They’re pretty much fierce, and I never use that word, and also a little scary. As I said in my previous post, they look like they hold the secrets to the universe, but also they could murder you.
Since that post, I have been hunting far and wide. I’ve gone into every accessories store and every clothing store that sells accessories. Even Aldo Accessories didn’t have them, and they rip off everything. I spent at least an hour online, maybe even an hour and a half, searching for earrings that resembled what Laurie wore.
I had almost given up, and then yesterday while on a solo shopping trip I stopped into the Kerrisdale branch of Salvation Army where I found not one, but three Laurie style earrings which in my opinion best those of the Watchman heroine. Behold…
Holla! How dope are these? As I mentioned in my first Laurie post, her earrings kind of resembled the Star Trek logo combined with Princess Jasmine’s accessories. Well the silver/gold earrings are the Star Trek logo combined with a deadly weapon, and combined with the other two pairs, I only paid $6.00.
I was really surprised at how many cool earrings there were in the thrift store. You don’t really see shapes like this at say, Claire’s. I mean, they may be from the 80s, but they look like superhero/ business woman of the future earrings. It’s awesome!
So if buying something that has been pierced a stranger’s flesh doesn’t creep you out, I totally suggest checking out your local Salvation Army or Value Village for dope accessories. I also suggest a lengthy hydrogen peroxide soak before putting any of your finds anywhere close to your own skin.
Lately I’ve been going crazy joining all those invitation only discount designer shopping sites. My latest obsession is Gilt Group.
On March 3rd, starting at noon, they’re having a Marc by Marc Jacobs accessories sale. That means, bags, jewelery, head bands, and did i mention bags? All at everyday low prices. Wooo! So here’s me extending you an invite to Gilt Group.
