I found a bikini I like. Top available in XS, bottom available in XXL.

I take it back. I DON'T like seperates being sold seperately. At least, not when I'm the girl who picks through the leftovers.

ETA: ita, tonight I'm trying my very first Fairy Jasmine. I will report back as to glitter content.

So I went to get my hair done at my favorite place. I just wanted the purple wash added and a haircut, but she talked me into doing a foil of a deep burgundy with the color wash. It sounded lovely, so I went with it.

I hate it. It's not burgundy, it's copper streaks that don't match the purple or look good on me.

I didn't realize how much I didn't like it until I got home. Fortunately, she wrapped up the extra color so I could freshen it, and I've covered the copper. But gah, It's really just ugly.

I think I'll give a call and ask for a fix, which I've never had to do before, and feel uncomfortable doing for some reason.

I just think that after spending $150 at the hairdresser, I shouldn't be sitting here with a cap on my head hoping the extra purple wash soaks into the copper and doesn't look too terrible to leave the house.

My hair is my best damned feature. Without it looking the way I like, I feel so damned ugly.

Yeah, you should get them to fix it, Allyson. I'm pretty sure there are purple people and there are copper people, and there is no overlap between the two.

Allyson, there's no reason they shouldn't fix it for free.

Oprah had the What Not To Wear women on last week fixing people's bad bra decisions. They said 80% of women are wearing the wrong size bra, and everyone they had on the show went up a cup size and down a number size. (And all the women looked much better after being properly fitted.) It made me feel like I should get refitted.

Allyson, I'm not good about calling for a fix, if I don't like what my hairdresser has done to my hair. But she's never botched my color, just my cut, and usually to the point where more cutting is just going to make me unhappy.

By all means, yes call and get it fixed. To heck with the discomfort. It's going to be way more uncomfortable to hate your hair for weeks on end. You spent a lot of money. You have a LOT of hair for you to try to fix it yourself, and it sounds like she should have done a strand test for you, for you to see the color for yourself, in comparison to the rest of your color.

Finally, you are way too beautiful to be getting an attack of the uglies due too someone else's making.

I'm pretty sure there are purple people and there are copper people, and there is no overlap between the two

This. The copper is very warm, and the purple is very cool. So they just clash.

I shall see in about a half hour if my fix worked for the better or worse.

Oh, Bridge of Birds is wonderful, and reading it to your GF is such a lovely thought! Even more happy birthday thoughts for you, Sean, may the rest of teh world be as charming towards you.

ION, these are thoroughly ridiculous, but I kind of want one anyway.

The Phone Thong has been designed to fit most of today’s popular phones, but it will not fit all phones. Some phones will fit tighter than others. If the fit is a little tight at first, the leather will stretch and shape to your phone over time. If the fit is too loose, the Phone Thong may not hold your phone securely.

They said 80% of women are wearing the wrong size bra, and everyone they had on the show went up a cup size and down a number size.

Huh. That's exactly what the woman who I thought was crazy at VS came up for me to wear. But I tried it on, and there was unsightly bulging, I swear there was!

I don't know that I was ever really sized for a bra. I'd still rather not let the Vicky's girls have their way with me.
