    Cosmetics Urban Legends

    Let's share them. Today while at Whole Foods, a friend and I were talking about before and afters of celebrities. I made some comment about how makeup takes care of so much of the before photos of celebrities, like undereye circles. The kid working the register sneered at me and claimed use of...

    Scissors for trimming hair

    I have bangs and occasionally find a split end in my hair, so I want some scissors to take care of those little needs. What do you all recommend? Cheaper is better, of course, but I want quality. Thanks!

    First impressions lasting a lifetime?

    So I met a friend of a friend a while ago. The first thing out of the FoaF (let's call her Grace) is that she got her clothes from a package that was accidentally delivered to her. She was very proud of these clothes (going out clothes that were from Victoria's Secret) and practically bragging...

    Sunscreen for hair/scalp

    What SPF products do you favor for your hair and scalp? I'm not looking for waterproof (not planning on swimming), but if it is, that would be great.

    Boob Nazis, Bottle feeders, and discretionary tactics

    Quote: But I can tell you why people often argue with me on why I should have kids 'the natural way' should I ever want them: it's because I don't look disabled. That's ridiculous. Even if you were an Olympic athlete and richer than Bill Gates, giving birth and/or raising kids is...

    So I'm moving to Chicago in mid to late August

    And I need to find an apartment. Does anyone have any recommendations for real estate agents? I've been trying to use sites like Craig's List and other apartment listing sites, but nothing has been up really for anything but July latest.

    Small rant about "supporting others"

    Why is it when someone is criticized for being thin/fat/white/tan/whatever, so many people think the appropriate response is to degrade the other side and don't realize they're doing the same thing the people did to them? I was reading an lj community where a woman thinks people are staring at...

    Espadrilles and Wedge Sandals

    I have very small feet (sz. 5, but I can also wear kids' sizes sometimes), and I've been looking for cute espadrilles and wedge sandals that won't break the bank. Any suggestions for online stores? I don't want to spend more than $30 or so per pair I tried Target but if I order them online...

    How seriously do you take the internet?

    By the internet, I mean discussion boards and such. Have you learned things through discussions, made friends, been thoroughly outraged for days, etc.? Or is it one joke to you, something to pass the time, fun only, etc.? I'm curious what draws you to sections like "Deep Thoughts" and what...

    Alec Baldwin and his infamous phone message

    I'm sure most of you by now have heard about it, at least. Alec Baldwin, upset he cannot get ahold of his daughter on the phone, leaves a pretty scathing message where he insults her horribly. TMZ.com, a gossip column, released it. What do you think of it? Of course, Baldwin is wrong to have...

    Asians and the VA Tech shooting

    This article is being passed around, per se. I'd like to have a discussion on it. I personally think articles like these are going to reiterate that it is a big deal the shooter was South Korean. I'm not a big fan of the news in general, but I've read more stuff about this kid being nuts and...

    Sense of community and ties

    How much connection do you feel towards someone or something because you and that person have x in common? I've been thinking about this in light of the VA Tech shootings, because a lot of people are more sympathetic and feeling more- affected by the situation because they hold a common thread...

    Kumar to teach a class at UPenn!

    Actor Kal Penn is going to teach ' "Images of Asian Americans in the Media" and "Contemporary American Teen Films" '. I'm frankly annoyed with it. While he is educated, it blows my mind that they would let him teach two classes. Just because you participate in something or are a member of a...

    POLL: Which brand's packing do you favor? Who has the best names?

    This poll has nothing to do with the actual quality of the makeup. It can look like chalk on your face and come off in a minute. I want to know which brands you think have great package, be it for style, practicality, or whatever it is you like best about it. Same with names. Who makes the...

    Make a video using a song from Beyonce's B'day

    Evidently, there's a YouTube contest where people are making videos of songs from B'day. You can win two tickets to see Beyonce in concert and two tickets to meet her backstage. This is hilarious. I love Beyonce, but I don't what she was thinking by recording "Ring the Alarm" or when she made...

    Feminism

    What are your current thoughts on feminism? Do you see yourself as one? it's Women's History Month. One of my current concerns with feminism is women who do things to be "empowered", even if it goes against who they are just to be a feminist or what they perceive as feminist. For instance, I...
