[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
{{Teppy}} I am so sorry you are having such a tough time. I wish I could drive over and distract you. But you live in that other voting challenged swing state and are too far away!
Please let Tim know what is going on. He would want to know. Maybe he can come home for a bit and get you settled with a comfort DVD and a glass of wine or beer, and then go back to the event.
Please take care of yourself and know that this will pass. All kinds of soothing and comforting thoughts are headed your way.
The landlord and the plumber did not show up today. Grr. We could have gotten so many more errands done today if we didn't have to make the apartment landlord ready.
I feel like a total meme dork coming in and changing the subject. I fought of my anxieties and went for my karate test this evening. I am now a yellow belt. I made it through the test without freaking out and didn't feel like a noodle when I was done. YAY.
Yay, Suzi! Congratulations!
Yay Suzi!
Yay for Suzi's yellow belt.
Not so yay for Teppy's anxiety attack. I wish there was an easy fix for that.
If you want the rundown on dark polishes, ask Plei. I refuse to acknowledge nail polish that isn't black. Unless it's black with red micro glitter.
Not even charcoal nail polish? MAC had some that looked decent, but it doesn't go with my skin tone as well as I wish. The Vintage Vamp that I got is GREAT. I'm very happy with it. The lipstick will take some getting used to. It's more purple than I normally wear. And very matte. Is matte in? Because I'm still entranced with a hookery gloss. I have a lovely overgloss I use--I forget the vendor.
Congrats Suzi!
When I was in high school, I had this dark grey nail polish from Urban Decay that drove my mother nuts. Which may have been part of the reason I wore it so often. I think it was called Gunmetal. I have no idea if they still make it, though.
I used to wear Gunmetal! It's dark enough for me. The lighter greys, although I'd wear them in clothing, make me look yellow when I wear them on my nails.
ita, my favorite black polish is Wet 'n Wild's "Wild Shine" formula. It's opaque enough that I only need to put one coat of polish on for full coverage. I know there's a charcoal polish that Plei really likes, I just don't remember the name of it. Raven's Wing, maybe?
Yes, matte lipstick is in, according to some of the fashion blogs.
