    Beauty accidents...

    I wound up in the hospital with 2nd degree chemical burns in both armpits from Nair once. Now I stick to razors and the occasional wax.

    Tattoos.

    Yikes! I did send an invitation to the White House, but didn't even get a "regret" RSVP. How rude... ok, back on topic now!

    Tattoos.

    According to the government we've got nada. According to our family, church, and credit card bills (that wedding was expensive!) we're 100% married.

    Tattoos.

    My favorite tattoo: This is actually my "something blue" for my wedding. My wife has a matching one, but in a more discrete location. It looks red in the picture because it was brand new. I have two others - a small lily on my ankle (hey, I was 18 once) and a squiggly thing on my...

    What Are You Reading

    I'm currently reading Rant by Chuck Palahniuk and Fart Proudly: Writings of Benjamin Franklin You Never Read in School.

    Doesn't Beauty Start With A Smile?

    I smile all the time in real life, but I turn it off in pictures. One of my eyes squints a whole lot more than the other when I smile, and it always makes me dislike otherwise good photos. It's too bad, really, because I love my teeth.

    Pale or Tan?

    I'm sticking with pale. I have the coloring of a redhead (but without the red hair), so I have fair skin with very pink undertones. I get a lot of freckles across my nose in the summer, which I actually really like. A few years ago I went tanning for about three months. It wasn't for me. At...

    Is anyone else on livejournal?

    I'm on el-jay as well: geobabe is my name, for I studied rocks in college. I watch: _vintage_life_ vintage_ladies vintagehair there's also costume_9to5 which I started with the intention of making it a community about those of us who "dress funny" in any capacity as an every day sort...

    Shaken vs stirred

    I prefer shaken for a different reason: It melts more of the ice and weakens the drink. There, I said it: I like a weak martini. If it's made with crushed ice, that's even better.

    Inexpensive shampoo/conditioner recommendations?

    I've used it and thought it was fine. I kept dropping the bottle on my toes, though. I think the moral of my story is that my hair is not picky at all.

    Show us your hair do's....

    I have a new, much shorter haircut and I'm not quite sure what to do with it. This was my first attempt at pincurls on it: That's a lot of fluff!

    Inexpensive shampoo/conditioner recommendations?

    I use soap. My shower caddy is looking pretty bare these days.

    THE Dress - Butterick 4790

    This was the first thing I ever made! I'll have to see if I have a picture. I may not, since it is very unflattering. Mine's black on the back and the front (inside) is a cool dia de los muertos pattern on a black background. I actually intend to take it apart and make it fit better. From the...

    Home Economics

    I do use them quickly, probably because I cook a lot of Indian food (which is why I was hanging out in the Indian grocery to begin with) :) Good point, though.

    Home Economics

    I buy my spices and rice at the Indian grocery store. You can get HUGE quantities of spices there, much better quality than what you'd get in a regular grocery store, and the prices can't be beat. I got 1/2-lb bags of most things for less that I'd have paid for the 1 oz jar.

    What's On Your Vanity Table?....

    I have this thing from Target. I used to have the matching stool, but two of the legs broke off (that's what I get for scooting it on the carpet). It doesn't hold a lot. What's in it: workday makeup (the fun stuff doesn't all fit, so it lives in a dresser in the living room - oh the joys of...

    RUM?!

    Sailor Jerry rum is my favorite ever. I originally bought a bottle because I liked the packaging, and was surprised to find that it's really good! I usually put it in Cuba Libres, but ran out of Coke recently and decided to try it on the rocks. I'm not going to bother with the Coke any more...

    Hair cut: Layers

    Sure :) This is the only one I have at work, but I actually have a picture of the back taken the same day at home that I can post later if you'd like. This is totally un-styled. It may actually be un-brushed too. It really is nothing more than a layered haircut with a U-shaped back.

    Hair cut: Layers

    I have the middy haircut described in the link (actually, I think it's closer to middy-plus these days because I am long overdue for a trim) and it really does make setting it much easier. It is completely safe for modern styles as well (looks good flatironed) and is the most versatile haircut...

    Bra pains.

    I can! Enell bras are wonderful, even if they are as ugly as sin. The size chart looks like it doesn't allow for large cup sizes, but that's a lie. You would probably wear a size 1 or 2, but I would suggest trying them on. They were recommended to me by a super-athletic friend who wore a 36I...
