    The Official Beauty Box thread

    I believe there are actually only two of us, so we'd better do it quick! :)

    How does a girl keep warm?

    I find that taking off my scarf and carrying it; removing my gloves and stuffing them in my pocket; and loosening my coat collar help tremendously. If I have to be in the building for long enough to necessitate taking off my coat, I remove my scarf, hat, and gloves, stuff them in my coat...

    Is this what we, as a society have come to?

    Off topic: When I worked a seasonal retail job at an upper-crust mall last Christmas season, La Kardashian made a cameo at Shoppers Drug Mart to launch her new perfume. Since nearly every red-blooded male in the West seems to adore her (FL members possibly excepted), us girls couldn't resist...

    Do you say Goodbye on the 'phone?

    That is kind of you to say :) I always kick myself when I do it, though, for presuming the person would thank me. Thanks for explaining the origins of "you're welcome," I hadn't known about that.

    Do you say Goodbye on the 'phone?

    What irks me the most about these small omissions in TV are when women run away from places, and don't take their purse. How could you leave your purse behind? Your whole life is in there! On topic, I always say "goodbye" or some form thereof on the telephone, business and personal. Its...

    Bobby-pin storage

    I found these cute little round tins at a craft store that I keep things like bobby pins, barettes, and elastics in. They look nice on my dressing table, too.

    Fashion Rules of the Past

    People have this idea that foundation garments are "uncomfortable." Well, they aren't exactly the best for lazing around the house in, but I wouldn't call them uncomfortable. As said, they make everything and everyone look so much better. (Besides, the comfort equation is likely proportional...

    How does a girl keep warm?

    I wouldn't exactly call her a style icon for us, though lol All kidding aside, she was a fascinating lady, and those wool petticoats do look warm!

    Is this what we, as a society have come to?

    I wouldn't be a bit surprised if what you said turned out to be true - It seems the most likely option to me!

    Dating Etiquette

    Althought that is polite, its too extreme for today. I would expect to hear that in the 1970s. Simple manners, like opening doors for people, should not carry such connotations anymore - Like was previously said, it is just good manners, and good manners should never go out of style...

    Is this what we, as a society have come to?

    If I were in the congregation, I would probably have burst out laughing very obnoxiously.

    How does a girl keep warm?

    Exactly what I was thinking... They don't appear to be wearing stockings either *brrr*

    Girl Crushes!

    Angela was awfully cute, wasn't she? :) I noticed you posted Peggie Castle a page back. I love her, she was such a bombshell in I, The Jury. :)

    Girl Crushes!

    This may be very shallow of me, but I have a lot more girl crushes for physical looks than I do for mind/accomplishments. I saw the thread title and got into the "If I were a man..." mindset I suppose! I'm surprised that Marilyn, the world's most famous sex symbol, isn't mentioned very...

    What makeup are you wearing today?

    I like that! I like when they contrast too, like my turquoise shadow with my pink sweaters. :) Great minds indeed! FWGal, that palette is gorgeous! Has anyone caught a glimpse of MAC's Christmas collection yet? I want the Shimmermint eyeshadow...

    How does a girl keep warm?

    I have a giant, fluffy rabbit fur vintage scarf that warms my whole body up when I wrap it around my neck. It's a saviour in below-zero weather - Not to mention how soft and gorgeous it looks :) Fur is just about the warmest thing you can wear in the winter, and if it's vintage, its even...

    What makeup are you wearing today?

    Sure does! 55°F is 12°C, so I was right about it being colder here. Today, it was a cool -5°C (23°F). Very kind on the hair, too :)

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    (This is late, but) I wasn't requesting one, silly :p I found one on my knee, and I was wondering how that could happen! It's gone away now. My mother reckons it was a hive, but how does one end up on your knee, of all places? 'Tis the mystery of the day.

    Girl Crushes!

    Lynn Peril, the author of College Girls, Pink Think, and (my personal favourite) Swimming in the Steno Pool. She gives such a thorough examination of Golden Era pop culture and ways of thinking. She is fascinating!

    What makeup are you wearing today?

    Cold weather is much kinder to make-up (Though I bet its not as cold there as it is here, FWGal ;)) Today: Benefit's Magic Ink eyeliner Bare Escentuals's Mineral Veil Buxom eyeshadow in Pug and mascara NYC eyebrow pencil in black Benefit's Flirt Alert lipstick I matched my flaming...
