    A question for the red heads...

    I'm looking at the colour on the non-highlighted underneath sections of her hair, and I don't think that's a red base. Given that she has blonde highlights, it most likely isn't - If it was, the blonde would take on some of the red and look pink when washed (which is why they aren't usually...

    The Official Beauty Box thread

    I've never sent anything to the UK, but when I've paid to receive things, I found Royal Mail to be very economical, always more than USPS. If we sent it off from Canada, it might not be too bad, but I could be wrong. As for customs, there's no problems sending food or cosmetics to Canada from...

    When is giving advice crossing the line?

    Thats terrible :( I'm sorry that happened to you. I think we've all been on the receiving end, and it's never a good time. This leads me to my next thought: I never point anything out if I'm unsure whether it was intended or not. For example: exposed thongs or bra straps, skirts so short...

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

    You see, they give the appearance of no common sense by not storing the larger chestnuts, but they're actually plotting by leaving them dangerously lying around. 'Round here, they're more interested in the abundant acorns. Those little so-and-sos...

    How Much Jewelry Do You Wear?

    That is very sweet :D The most jewellery mine has ever bought me is a sparkly Eiffel Tower keychain from Paris.

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

    They are so lucky I wasn't in my car when this happened: There is a chestnut tree in front of my parent's house, and when the chestnuts fall off the tree, they are encased in this green, spiky shell. When I still lived there, I jogged across the lawn barefoot one time to berate the recycling...

    The Immortal Nicolas Cage

    Could be, but my skepticism is more immortal than he might be :p

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

    I would trade praying mantis' anyday for the bleepin' squirrels. We are overrun with the beggars. If anyone remembers that Geico commercial with the squirrel running in front of the car, making it swerve, and then giving props to his hell raising squirrel buddy, BELIEVE IT. Every day those...

    The Immortal Nicolas Cage

    I think that's photoshopped. His facial features are off centre on his face!

    What makeup are you wearing today?

    Not me: I put it on lock, stock, and barrel lol I'm probably paler than you, Rue, but although my hair is dark it isn't close to black, so perhaps that's the difference. Zombi's way probably will help! Today I didn't apply any make-up, because I'm holed up in the house all day *scurries away*

    How Much Jewelry Do You Wear?

    That first Peridot is beautiful, Viola! I'm an August baby, but like you I would love them anyway. Both settings are definitely drool-worthy. I don't think I've ever seen a green amber! Any chance of a picture? :)

    When is giving advice crossing the line?

    Weeell... I understand, but there is a vast difference between cruel, snotty teenagers dissing each other and adults genuinely trying to be helpful. I'm like Tatum, I will definitely point something out to a lady if I can manage, especially in the sisterly atmosphere of the little girls' room...

    Vintage 1950's Christmas Festivities

    I scoured the Canadian Tire website looking for them - You know those little box shape things you plug into a socket with three more plugs on them? - but I couldn't find the right name. In the movie, Mr. Parker had a dangerous looking cluster of them all originating from one socket. The...

    The general decline in standards today

    I believe you just hit the nail on the head, then hammered it into place :) Well written. Thanks for the vote of confidence, V.C lol The switch from stilettos to combat boots would be a tad too much for me, though...

    Vintage 1950's Christmas Festivities

    Oh yeah... We have to get that out of the way first... lol OT: I do feel a twinge of pity for Americans who make the turkeys for Christmas and Thanksgiving. Our Thanksgiving is in mid-October, so it gives us nearly a two month break, whereas y'all have only a few weeks before you're doing it...

    The Middy Thread

    It's just the style of the way most vintage cuts were worn. Stacked layers made the curls fluffier, and the U-shape was considered very flattering. I suspect the cuts were designed for function; ie. layering for curls, shorter or longer sections for fluffs or pomps and rolls, angles for...

    The Middy Thread

    Here are those other pages: Click the links for Ingrid Bergman, Hedy Lamarr, Gene Tierney, and Veronica Lake and Rita Hayworth. To keep it consistent, here is Lauren Bacall again. All of those styles (with the exception of Lake's) were done with a modification of the Middy Cut. That's why I...

    The general decline in standards today

    Very true, and that isn't discrimination or denial of equal opportunity, it's common sense. My naval officer boyfriend once laughed at the thought of me enlisting in the military, not only because of how I look, but for my sheer lack of physical strength. If I wanted to, I could weight train...

    The Middy Thread

    Thank-you very much! :) I hope your hair comes out well, do be sure to let us know! Turudich's book is such a great resource because she simplifies the instructions so well. She also has instructions for other popular styles, I'll dig those out and post in a bit. Fantastic! Pretty please...
