Clslvr6spd - Are you in the 'red flag' warning in CA? Just saw that on the news. Like SMMY said...gives new meaning to a 'smokey eye'
Enjoy your Movie!

CantAffordMAC - OUCH!

I so want to have that done. I used one of those battery operated razors (for legs) that pull the hair out by the root on my underarms - it hurt so bad I had tears in my eyes...not doin that anytime soon

Hubby did hamburgers on the grill tonight...YAY!...no cooking for me tonight. And, they tasted great. Plus, he did clean up...good boy.
I worked earlier, gonna chill tonight cause tomorrow I will start working on my schedule/ideas/business plan for 2009...ughhh

Yep. It was really bad a couple days ago, the sun was creepy red. I has been clearing out, which is nice.

I will, thanks!

 

[gigglegirl]

so i've FINALLY posted my collection. new camera=love! i can't wait to figure out all these settings!

here's the link: Gigglegirls collection

 

[coachkitten]

Clslvr6spd glad to hear that your car is ok!

You will have to tell us how you like Wall-E. I really want to see that. I love pixar movies.

CantAffordMAC - I am glad to hear that waxing your underarms wasn't that painful because I am going to do that before I go to a wedding in September and I have been really dreading it worring that it would hurt to badly.

Gigglegirl I am off to check out your collection!

And hi elegant-one and all the other bimbos!!

 

[gigglegirl]

hey coach!

wow rebecca, you are brave. i have this whole embarrassment fear going to the waxer. growing in brows? fine. but the other areas, lol i wonder what they think. so like you say your underarm hair should have been longer....I'd be so self-conscious. yeah thats a better word, self-conscious.

do you think you could do it yourself at home? that'd be nice for me, but I'm trying to think of the logistics, and I can't imagine waxing with one hand, as I know I usually pull the skin taut with my other hand when waxing.

 

[gigglegirl]

heres a question for the bimbos that i don't think we've covered before. how are all of us bimbos in heels?

I'll go first. I really WANT to b/c I like how they look. but after golly how many years of wearing sneakers and flipflops and even dress shoes with a chunky heel, i cannot walk in high heels! i found a pair at payless a couple months ago (in anticipation of full time work after my exams) for only $9, so I bought them (they are under 2", but I don't look funny in them...hallelujah!)

but my issue with any heels above 2" (which are the majority of heels as I don't want kitten slides) is that i walk funny like I slightly bend at the knees so I look all stiff. gosh this is so hard to explain....I'm not quite articulate about it.

i wonder if i keep trying (ie carry the shoes to work, wear them at work but have another pair if it hurts/ whatnot) itll get better? or are there just some women who look like funky chickens in heels??

 

[gigglegirl]

awww thanks for the comments on the thread girls!

elegant-one--yeah pink lippies as thats all i'm comfortable with. high top doesn't get much use. but i seriously love plummy/brown tones that work with my colouring like twig-twig! (i'm thinking i should try its older sister twig to see if thats similar in the perm line to this one I love!!)

coachkitten--hey girl no need to feel bad about it, you were on awesome seller that helped me out with the broken product, its all rectified (the colours are great, i just have to be careful with the one that exploded. the deep pink colour more than makes up for it...i freaking love that colour!!)

 

[Sanayhs]

Ooohhhh... I'm dying to know how Wall-E is! It looks fantastic!

Collections...hurrah! I will be going through that soon, yo.

As for air drying laundry... I have a bit of a story. You know those racks you can get to put clothes on hangers on? A garment rack? Sort of like a portable closet. So, anyhow, I have one. Or, rather, most of one. It's adopted from the basement of my old place. It has most of the actual rack pieces, but no screws. As such, I thought I'd just use screws from my tool kit and be fine. It turns out I don't have the right side. NOT TO BE DETERRED, the boy and I hunted for tape and found a roll of packing tape. We used the packing tape to patch the rack together. It's one sexy beast, I tell you! And now my clean, wet clothes are happily hanging on it.

...I was a touch worried it would fall apart at the first sign of any weight.

Also, the only thing HP does well is printers. Their computers are absolute garbage. NEVER get an HP computer, for it will likely die completely in under a year and be a miserable wench in the mean time (after the first month or so). BLECH. As for cameras AND printers, I'm a canon girl. My favourite laptops are thinkpads - you just can't kill those beasts! I have an old IBM thinkpad named Seamus that has a 20GB hard drive and 256mb of RAM. He keeps chuggin' reliably. Wooooo! Actually, programmers tend to favour them because they are in fact known for being very stable, dependable machines.

Some women just don't look right in heels, unfortunately. I'd recommend wearing them at home to practice there, as watching women who can't walk properly in heels attempting to wear them nonetheless is really not attractive. It just... looks ridiculous. Smaller strides are definitely key.

I don't wear them often (I'm usually found in either birkenstocks or vans), but I do have several pairs of heels - most of which have heels of 3 to 4 inches.

Once you learn to walk in heels, it's generally pretty damn hot.

So, I'd say, just keep wearing them around your house until you get used to them. It should come eventually.

I am the worst at walking in heals! I swear that my feet hurt after like two minutes of wearing them! I normally live in running shoes or flats. It does help to wear them around the house if you can to break them in or get used the the feel. I did that before I went to Vegas so I could break in a new pair of heals I knew I would be wearing. I wore them from the time I got home from work until I went to bed. I looked funny but it made the heals wear a lot better. I am still no expert though!

Have you tried sticking in those little cushiony inserts for the ball of the foot? They make an enormous difference in the comfort of a pair of heels, because they help give more padding and take some of the impact.

These are a MUST for cheaper shoes (absolutely including payless), since they tend to have very thin, hard soles.

EDIT: Think about it. When in heels, the ball of your foot takes basically all of the impact of your step. If there's next to nothing between you and the ground, it's going to start to hurt pretty quickly.

Hehehe, no you didn't get me confused with some one else! I moved back to Oman (middle east) a week ago. I might be back in England coming september because i want to get my masters in either clinical, child development or counselling psychology.
I have to be in England for the graduation cermony in Nov08. I thought i might as well go back in September and carry on with my studies!

I checked out the MAC in Oman they still have Naughty nauticals no Neo scif fi which i already hauled from in England! I wonder how long it's going to be till Cool heat, dazzglesses and tendertones get here

 

[clslvr6spd]

I'm a big heal freak! I am 5'9" and I still get 4-5" heels. I have to get the cushions for the ball of your foot, the ones for the whole foot don't seem to work to well for me.
Has anyone noticed when you have new heels and you start walking around on your carpet it's DEATH! I swear I have nearly slipped a few times, lol.

 

[elegant-one]

Yep...Love heels too! BUT...they are not always the most comfy to wear especially if you're going to be in them a long time...& yes, on carpet can be slick. I still love flat & kitten heel thong shoes too. They're a little more comfy.

clslvr6spd - 5'9...darn & then heels = very long legs girl...awesome

I was just going to post a pic of a new pair of those Gladiator type sandals that I just got.

Which by the way, why when I did a new thread/post it didn't come up in the new posts??? I don't do new posts so maybe I did something wrong?
Plus my title was small - so I just bold it? TIA

 

[gigglegirl]

elegant-one...i didn't see anything from yours. where did you post it? if you go to your previous posts or even threads started by... on your profile you should see it if it created itself.

 

[elegant-one]

oh, sorry...it was a long time ago. It created, but it didn't come up right away in the new posts so i figured that I did something wrong - well maybe i didn't?

 

[Sanayhs]

Port Red lipstick looks lovely on boys. *grins* Ahh, the terrible things I do to my boyfriend... Teehee!

 

[Sanayhs]

Ohhh, I must report for you all on the MUFE foundation!

I like it!

It's not magic: it did wear off a bit as I got really sweaty at work, but I still maintained some coverage all day, keeping my skin evened out. It also didn't melt off and transfer, which is always good. Best of all, at no point did it actually look like I was wearing makeup. So, hey, the moisture got through, it matched my skin, and it still kept me from being all blotchy.

All in all, I'd say I love this stuff.

 

[coachkitten]

I am going to have to try that MUFE foundation after hearing your review. I have been wanting to try it for awhile now.

I am finally done studying for the night and now I can play on Specktra! Woo-hoo!

Anyone have any big plans for Canada Day or the 4th of July?

 

[KikiB]

Nope, just working...it's the story of my life. Also enjoying the weather. The next two days will be spent at the beach provided my mum got my bus pass for me. If she didn't get my bus pass then no beach.

As far as heels go, I don't wear them terribly often-never to work. I first started out wearing heels and it wasn't bad since I only worked shorter shifts, but once I got into the longer ones I switched to flats. My knees are really f'ed up though so it is for the best that I avoid heels most of the time. By rights I should be wearing heels every minute of every day because I have a 27" inseam-that's shorter than short pants go. I look absolutely ridiculous most of the time. Also I'm barely 5'6, so yeah. You do the math.
