And yet, in magazine interviews, stresses over and over again how she’s woke and different, and how dare you write her off as straight for being in a cis-hetero marriage.

Oh, thanks. I also feel like I only come across NYX once in a blue moon, and it’s a small sliver of their line at a time. It’s quite cheaply priced, so perhaps worth a bit of trial and error.

Thank you.
I have recently converted to Tarteist after years of being too timid to try liquid liners. I only wear it on the top lids (I use a separate bronze kohl pencil for under the eye—and basically leave the pencil end of Tarteist for only occasional use or touch-ups), so the travel size lasts quite some time for…

Agreed. Most dental plans don’t cover dental implants.

Sure thing, Vivienne Westwood/Cyndi Lauper!

“Kelly & Sheets”?

Wow. Thanks—I usually don’t think to try drugstore fare, but that’s a strong recommendation.

The best elliptical machines at my gym come equipped with an entertainment screen for which, frustratingly, all the controls are broken. You cannot turn it off, change the channel, etc. And it’s always stuck on TBS reruns of The Big Bloody Fucking Bang Theory, so I basically never use those machines. Granted, you can…

and now I complain about those other parents even louder.

Unless, of course, you’re watching something about a plane crash.

With you. One of my fondest memories of a too-cramped trans-Atlantic flight was watching my seatmate, a 7-ft Swedish septuagenarian, chuckle and the SATC movie (which I myself refused to watch). 

Plus, on international flights, you often have exposure to films that never receive a US distributor and you may never have the opportunity to catch outside a film festival screening. I’ve discovered several gems that way, or found that was the only place I could find something I’d wanted to see without bootlegging…

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve not heard of it or tried it before. In looking at the product page, though, it looks too clumpy and too large a brush for my needs. What I’m zeroing in on are products you apply over your regular mascara to, in effect, make them budgeproof.

Oh my goodness. I’d like to request a photo of the pupusa-esque results you make tomorrow, pretty pretty please.

So, basically Grouch with a redemption arc?

Beauty Thread: (please feel free to add your own inquiries below)

Like Splinter, for instance.

Hydrate level four, please.

Nooooo. Don’t the LOTR trilogy residuals keep him from having to do crap like this? [Unless he reaaallly loves the lifetime of chicken and sides?]

How much do you want to bet there will a line in there like “I don’t care if you’re black, white, red, green, or purple...”?
