    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    I get so frustrated with what goes with my red hair that I've decided to just go with whatever red lipstick strikes my fancy at the time. Sometimes it's MAC's Russian Red, sometimes it's one of the super-steadfast reds from either Revlon or Max Factor(good thing I stocked up on the MF before it...

    Vintage Cartoons

    OK, here's my white girl take on this. There IS the possibility that Clampett and other individuals at the time wouldn't consider themselves racists. Just the fact that he didn't take the Lazytown route in portraying blacks could be an argument in favor of that theory. However, look at...

    Do ladies really have to dress old & frumpy after a certain age...?

    To each their own. Tina Turner deserves a lifetime pass for her to do whatever she wants clothing-wise. She earned it. RD

    Roller derby?

    The main differences between old school derby and the latest DIY derby is that all old school derby was played on a banked track. Nowadays most leagues are flat track, though there are five DIY banked track leagues in the US(I'm in one of them). Also, old school derby games tended to be...

    Nutrition and exercise!

    Try some dark green veggies such as spinach. I hate the cooked variety, but raw spinach for salads, etc. is delicious. I also got into the habit of adding a small amount of sunflower seeds, cashews and raisins to my salads to help keep anemia at bay. And yes, red meat is supposed to help with...

    Nutrition and exercise!

    Curious...because of my heavy-duty roller derby schedule, I find that I have to eat pasta on days that I know I'm going to be scrimmaging to have enough energy to get through a game without feeling like I'm losing energy. Do you have issues with that? If so, what do you eat to have enough energy...

    Vapididity defined: Sorority dress code

    Reading that list made me think that the author had to write it because most girls/women today just don't know any better. These are things that a mother should teach her daughter, but most nowadays don't. I thought the list overall was practical...there were a couple of items on there that...

    james cameron's AVATAR in 3-D

    CGI just makes bad movies more expensive. Bad movies have always been made, but it does seem that it's gotten worse in the past 10-15 years in particular. HOWEVER, back to Avatar... I didn't care about it before the film opened one iota despite the fact my husband worked on it. I'm not a...

    Warner Bros. Studio VIP Tour

    I haven't taken the tour, but I've worked for WB on and off over the past decade, and I LOVE going to the main lot every chance I get! A small group of coworkers and I went to the now-demolished Western backlot a few years ago and had a fun time wandering around there. Also checked out the old...

    The History/Evolution of Birth Control *Ladies Only*

    I definitely had to wait until I was 30 to get a tubal ligation, and my doctor is female!:eusa_doh: I've also heard stories where men under the age of 30 also had a helluva time getting a vasectomy because of the assumption that they'd change their minds, too. I think it's more about the...

    Max Factor leaving US?

    I don't know anything about Luster or whether he still gets money from Max Factor sales, but I found Max Factor at Bed, Bath and Beyond last week. The packaging says it's made in Italy and distributed by P&G, for what it's worth. Also for what it's worth, I picked up the dark auburn mascara...

    Witch Hazel

    Whole Foods carries a couple of the Thayer's flavors in their stores...maybe try going to your local WF and see what they have and if you can try to smell 'em? Or, when in doubt, go for the regular non-scented stuff. Either way, I really like Thayer's. RD

    Liberating Women's Bodies

    I'm not uh, generously endowed, shall we say, but I definitely don't mind wearing a bra. I also don't mind foundation garments for the right occasion. I wouldn't wear them every day, but for a night out it's easier to put on Spanx or something instead of starving myself for a week beforehand...
