Um. I am not a romance-reading lady, but we can just leave at to each her own re kissing? Kissing an unconsenting stranger is creepy bc, consent, but there is nothing wrong with kissing people you’ve just met in other contexts. There’s nothing wrong with NOT wanting to do that either, but when you call it “creepy” it…

“Edited to add”

True — depends on the intensity of the look you’re going for

I have only done this on other people’s lips, never my own

and if you want your bottom lip smaller; cover your lips with concealer, then apply lipstick to your whole top tip, but *not* your whole bottom lip. use a pencil to outline how you want your bottom lip to look then fill in. setting powder will be really important here, bc this will look weird if it gets smudged.

Yay stage makeup! Were an actor or a makeup artist?

Kylie’s lips without all this aren’t so great. For thin lips, a bit of an overline would work; whatever your natural features are, you can just enhance a bit (I mean, same is true of a pushup bra).

Oh, I can help with that! Not the contouring but just lipstick; after you put it on, put a tin tissue or piece of toilet paper over your lips, then dab it with baby-powder or similar. Acts as a setting powder. You still might leave a bit of a lip smudge on your glass, but your lips will stay nice-looking.

Agree 100%. I think make-up effects are awesome, in very particular circumstances. In hs and college, I did stage makeup, which was so fun — I didn’t have to have stuff all over my face and I got to make people look all different ways!!

I dunno if “kind” does, really. I don’t think “kindness” is a series of gestures...I dunno it’s hard to define at the moment, but when you’re smothering someone with affection, it’s usually more about how that makes YOU feel, and that’s not what kindness is. Kindness can be giving someone space when you don’t want to…

Assuming “too nice all the time” means “hopelessly passive” and not “Too damn kind and caring!”

I dated a guy like this for about two weeks, and couldn’t stand it. He agreed with EVERYTHING I said. I started contradicting myself just to see if he’d call me out, and he never did.

I mean, I’m straight, and I am almost never attracted to guys on okcupid. The ones who are physically attractive suck. I meet one guy I *really* like maybe every other year.

I made a super rich pasta dish and some roast broccoli, a friend came over and we watched Legally Blonde, then swung by another friend’s to sit in front of his fire for a bit, and I am back home, eating leftovers, by 10:45. Pretty perfect evening.

Do not reconcile. Do not reconcile. Do not reconcile.

So cute!!! I have that same suit in red.

Crab cake eggs bennie. Problem solved.

At only just 4, I feel like that’s not toooooo sociopathic? Toilet is where things go when you don’t want em. Death isn’t really a thing yet.

My friend put together most of my bed, and I bought him lots of beer and sandwiches. That seemed to work.

Hey baby, what’s wrong?
