i had someone do that to me they went on saying i was the fattest dancer and i kept getting bigger. i had lost 80 lbs then but it still hurt. i think it was a female i worked wit, but hiding behind a screen name and lashing others makes them look like losers with no life is right. why are u even thinkin about me enough to go thru the trouble to do that??? Im never for hurting others. Always got picked on growing up cuz i didnt follow the crowd. My first day of 1st grade at a new school these kids were like lets go make fun of this boy, and i asked why, they said oh his last name is bacon. so yeah i was like fuck you thats my last name u guys are jerks and was forever labeled a loser after that. Made me tougher and who i am today but still, jerks!

That's horrible! I'm sorry that happened. I was called a troll once on myspace back in the day. Cause I'm really short and have wider hips! That made me ball my eyes out. Now days if someone called me that I would be like really? a troll? can you think of a better insult?


People only mirror their insecurities out on others.

 

[breatheonbeat]

[Kristin Bacon]

you are correct on that one!!!! its easy to think ppl wont notice something u hate about yourself if u point it out on others to take the imagined judgements and attention of yourself!!!

And the bugs in the box is too much. gross

they especially dislike whoever kai is?
temptalia has her own subforum: http://gurugossiper.com/viewforum.php?f=36

Wow...I read some of the Temptalia forum. I don't know what is more sad...the fact that any of this exists, or the fact that most of what they say about people are straight out lies. What miserable people they must be.

 

[Kristin Bacon]

hahaha me too. I carry four makeup bags everywhere i go its so hard to narrow it down. i try so hard tho. but a girl needs options right? and when u have this many lippies u need to wear a few a day hahaha

 

[blondie929]

yes it does, when its every day all day. i feel u on the acne. i had it bad in my teens, so bad i would hide my face in my hair. i have scars from it still. puberty was the hardest time for me. by the time i was in high school i had grown a thicker skin, i was super goth and stood up for myself. i had even gone to a high school farther away so i could get away from the jerks, but they are all over. boys said they were gonna beat me up!! I never backed down to them tho. If they attacked me i held my own, im not a petite lady haha. Luckily i feel that those dark days made me who i am in a way. I really wear what i want, think for myself, and know who i am today because of the adversity. wouldnt change a thing. But i wont have kids. if i did and they went thru that, now with the internet and everything, i think i would kill someone for torturing them.

i was always depressed i still have scars too .. i have a thicker skin now but back then no not at all .. i was so miserable and it took me a while to love myself and accept myself .. i wore makeup since i was 10 years old i use to call my sister and beg her to buy me the loreal true match lol first foundation i ever used .. what matters now is that i don't care what people say and I've never felt better about myself then i do now all those bullys thought me how to appreciate myself and other women and all imperfections .. looking at your picture! i wouldn't never know you were bullied you look beautiful! thank you for sharing your story it just made me remember how I've grown as a person and how much i love makeup!!!

 

[BrknFlwr85]

me too my whole life. i hated school and had a stomach ache every morning over the anxiety of what shit i would get that day. i would come home and cry in the dark in my room. I even had frenemies who would pretend to invite me over to hang out and once there was 8 of them there acting funny when i got there, they all pulled out big butterfly knives and cut my clothes off of me. i will never forget that.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that when you were young, nobody deserves to have to deal with something like that. I will be the first to admit that I wasn't always the nicest kid and it was because my home life was absolutely terrible (drugs, alcohol, abuse, etc.). I wish that I would have been old enough to realize that being mean couldn't fix what was going wrong with my family. Thankfully, by the time I got to high school I went to live with my grandmother and got a lot of counseling to deal with my issues.

Yes calling ppl fat, ugly, stupid, saying there makeup looks trashy. I saw they even called one of the bloggers out for being molested as a child?? holy shit, who does that. those ppl hate themselves that is for sure. they all need more love in there life.

you also made me feel better. thanku!! I have had a few friends who were never bullied, they will never understand. its good that we can look at it like a growing experience. some of those bullies were the first to friend request me on FB yrs ago. i accepted. when i see them now im like wow, you put me down? I jus hope they dont have bully children. All women are beautiful, all shapes sizes and imperfections. I started wearing makeup around 10 also. I had a lipstick by loreal called real raisin it was my fave lol.

i was called fat too! I'm not gonna lie i was a lil chubby lol one time in science class i was wearing a sweatsuit and i got so hot cause i had to sit in the back table by the window with a group of horrible kids and i took my sweater off and they started making fun of me because i had hair on my arms and i was so scared and embarrassed i put my sweater back on but left it unzipped and then they threw a pencil at my tummy! i didn't cry but i wanted to i waited till school was over then i went home and cried but i never told my mother or sister.

I hate that people were mean to you. You're always so nice! Kids can be so mean, too. I got picked on in school, too. My family didn't have a lot of money, so we didn't have the nicest clothes, etc. plus I wasn't the most gorgeous teenager. There was one boy who started teasing me in 7th or 8th grade, and kept it up for years. That made me SO self-conscious. Took all of my confidence away. Thankfully his family moved so he started going to a different school. I got my "revenge" years later, tho. I grew through the gawky stage, got contact lens, and was allowed to wear make-up, so I got better looking. I was at a bar with a friend one night and a guy came over and started talking to us. Eventually he realized he knew me, and told me his name and said "we went to school together. Don't you remember me?" Of course I did, but I decided that I wasn't going to let him know how miserable he made me. I said I didn't remember him, and he said "wow, you've really changed." Best.revenge.ever.

Wow, I didn't see that part...that is sick. It's so sad that people like that exist. I just hope none of the bloggers read the crap people say about them, cause I know it isn't fun. I left school in 9th grade to get homeschooled because of getting bullied.

i never expected to join this website and feel so at home! i can relate to so many people here its amazing! i also got requested by people who bullied me in hs and middle school they tried to be friends with me I'm like um no ill accept your friend request but don't speak to me like we are friends! my first lip product was the lip smackers lip gloss the blue one i don't remember if they had names! and i use to use the wet n wild sparkling dust on my eye lids! i can't believe they still sell it!

You have found your people!! I'm in the same boat. Most of my friends aren't that into makeup. I thrive on it when one of them will actually ask me for help creating a look or something, like "Finally...Playtime!!!!" lol. And if anyone ever gives you shit for having 19 lipsticks in your bag, just remind yourself that I have over 100 lipsticks in my stash. I stopped counting after 100... it was getting disturbing.

 

[BrknFlwr85]

Do we happen to have some sort of self love type of thread on here somewhere? I love how everyone is sharing what they have been through and how they have came to love themselves over the years. We have all had different journeys, but I don't think I've met a single person who has always had self confidence and self love.

 

[Spectacular]

I have to say....as much as I wish this whole Proenza launh had gone properly, I'm so happy that the failure brought about this awesome discussion. You guys rock!

Dancing bananas for everybody!!!

 

[BriarRose]

Sorry some of you had product mix ups!

Outer box mislabeling explains what happened to me today then. Called to check and make sure my counter had the blushes, and they said they did. Asked how many they had of Sunset Beach (2 plus a tester

) and was told how lovely a shade of peach and orange it was. Insisted no, that's the pink one, and got told repeatedly there is an error online, and the pink one is really Ocean City and the orange is Sunset Beach.
