The line from Prince’s song “U Got the Look” -”It must have took a whole hour just to make up your face” - that line is not unrealistic, I’ve learned. No, it doesn’t take that long at all daily, but it can if one is taking special care for a particular look.

I suggest that people not fall for the La Mer marketing, and actually go to a site like Paula’s Choice that evaluates makeup & skincare based on the proven claims of their ingredients. Some better options can be found at the drugstore for $20. /I’m being a party pooper

I assumed that all of them have extensions.

I have no problem with what she’s saying. She’s giving nurturing support to others, and one doesn’t have to carry a child in one’s uterus to do that. Nor are the women who do give birth to a child automatically entitled to the sobriquet “mother” - there are “mothers” who will abuse or neglect their children, or will…

I was sure that Fielding was aiming for Daniel Craig to play the new love interest for the movie version of the 3rd book - given the character’s description. As for my impressions of the 3rd book, didn’t love it much. I was touched by the character’s reactions to the big spoiler, but found the latest Bridget to be an…

Regarding the Monster Cousin, the letter writer herself had a problem with her fiance’s finances - so much so that she broke it off initially with him. After she had a change of heart, now the bad girl is her supportive cousin, who was trying to give her straight talk but now is trying to bury the hatchet. Sounds to…

LOL - I stand corrected. :)

Duckbill nails are also unfortunate -

She's a garbage human for expecting people who work in customer service to not be jerks? Ok.

What if someone said “maybe you should get a different job if you want to make a fixed wage?” That’s the same kind of response to the situation as your flippant attitude. That waitress failed from a customer service perspective, and shouldn’t have been rewarded for it. Should black patrons who were served after white…

I like her. Her haters are crazy - she’s adorable.

I think it’s the way she applies her eye makeup. Way too flicked up. She needs to extend it out to the sides a bit more.

How to cut a mango - http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/how_to… This changed my life.

Wow. The first thing that people need to realize is that nobody cares about anybody else’s wedding. People may wish others well, but it’s ultimately not important to anyone but the bride and groom, nor should it be.

I found that I was more “who cares what you put on your body” when I was younger, and now I find dressing up to be fun. I do agree that age brings with it a more stable sense of one’s personal style, so I care more about what I like than what others might like.

I’m too old for being around wasted teenagers at Lollapalooza. I’m not too old for enjoying bands, but the wasted teenagers annoy me beyond end. It’s to the point where I wish that they would follow the lead of other festivals and have an over 21 policy, or I want to shell out thousands for VIP tickets to be away from…

I adore Ruby Woo, but I see what you mean about Russian Red. It has become to safe for me (and I own like 15 different shades of red lipstick, and I can tell the differences between them).

I’m loving the orange lipstick this summer, on Rachel and on me as well. It has a 70s vibe that I like.

Good. That’s what should happen.

It isn’t personal, because she isn’t personally a thief. She is being singled out as a potential one, though, because she’s black. Which means that she’ll be treated like a thief even though she isn’t one. People will feel bad about a simple shopping trip potentially ending in the humiliating situation of being…
