Dreams do japanese surfing the korean wave: drama tourism, nationalism and gender via ethnic eroticisms."come true. The black Kylie Lip Kit finally dropped Friday after about three weeks of total agony. For the olds, that means that the celebriteen's greatest achievement was briefly available to purchase before it sold out.

Finally, the hour arrived and slightly after the clock struck 4:30 EST, I managed to add the Holy Grail of celebrity cosmetics to my cart. IT ALL CAME TRUE!

I was in purgatory. To improve my odds, a co-worker added Dead of Knight to her cart as well should the gods smile upon her. 

But finally, my moment came -- buying a Kylie Lip kit is possible with the right amount of dedication and luck.

Not everyone was so lucky, though, and it weighs heavily on my soul.
