I know the kind of freak out you are talking about. I would probably drown because I would be so busy squeeing and crying and trying to pet the sweet manatee. I had a similar problem scuba diving in Mexico. No air tank big enough can withstand a grown ass woman who has suddenly become an excited 4 year old.

Two of my bridesmaids and I went to a wedding expo back in 1978 when I was getting married. Before the 'fashion show' started, the MC was blathering on and on about something that I was not paying attention to until this "look at the person on your left, now look at the person on your right. Two out of the three of…

I love Jane Iredale powder blush and eyeshadows! They are so perfection in color and application. A little goes a long way, a little more and hello evening look. I am a longtime addict to her Dubonnet blush and Taupe eyeshadow.

The color IQ as lifesaver is so true! I have never liked wearing foundation because it always felt like my face couldn't breathe. The color match showed me as 1r06 and picked out several brands of foundations in a color that is 1r06. I went with Hourglass liquid for fancy night out and Bare Minerals loose powder for…

My menopause was early - age 48 - brought on by hysterectomy for massive fibroids. Kept the ovaries just in case the system didn't shock into immediate menopause, but no luck. I have a couple of years to age 60 to go, but I have found that my libido waxes and wanes as it frikkin well wants. I quit being frustrated…

Wow, that is awesome that you had the surgery and are so thrilled with the result! Both my mother and Baba had upper and lower lid surgeries for lids that were impairing their vision when they were in their late 50's(the only way medical would pay, rather than it being vanity surgery). So I am bucking genetics here…

You rock those eyes, then, Lady. I am currently busy transitioning three decades of semi-permanent auburn hair to natural white/grey... and rocking it so hard. The undereye fat pad will have to take a number and get in line for it.

Honestly, that looked like waaaay too much was being used. I love Touche Eclat, but I find that my 'triangle' gets smaller as go because the pores along my nose and cheekbones just do not like the stuff. I break out. Also, what you lighten comes forward, and I have plenty of genetic chub cheek and undereye fat pad…

My younger sister turned 50 last month. When I called her to sing our special happy birthday song I also told her " Welcome to wondermousness of being 50! It's like waking up and finding out you are a super hero, and it will completely knock your socks off at how few fucks you will give from now on! " I fucking love…

It always makes me nervous for the existing Shondaland shows whenever she gets a new pet project. Grey's storylines have suffered pretty much concurrent with every new Shondaland show launch. After a strong first season, HTGAWM may also suffer now from Shonda distraction. Not saying that she can't do multiple…

I didn't even know they existed, muchless that they were a thing., and then a thing to be banned. Honestly, people, use a proper camera.

Honestly, kudos to the applicant for even giving thought to the skills she/he's learned in the current job and how they might relate to the applied job. They are a stretch, for sure, and yet the fact that the applicant has been able to draw a couple of parallels and shown some understanding of the position is…

What a fun, interesting series! I think all the ladies look wonderful before and after. I find it fascinating that the trend overall seems to be much foundation, strong brow, eyeliner.

Reitman's, Penningtons, Addition Elle, and if you are in the Vancouver Lower Mainland: Lucy Clothing in Langley, with a bonus of having Forever Yours Lingerie right across the street.

"Who are you wearing?" was never a question that got asked on the red carpet in the 70's.

I have perfected my uber password to the exact cuss words and keystrokes that I shout and pound on my keyboard when I am furious that I can't remember my password. It's never fail for me now.

I was teary every time her face was shown in clips. She and Belushi were the big misses for me last night.

And if, by way too long, you mean completely fabulous then you would be correct! I was laughing so hard I couldn't catch a breath.

Clueless parents parenting cluelessly....move along.

The power of the scaffolding is strong with this one.
