Wow, Shir, that sounds like a challenging project. It's great that you have gotten further with it than you expected.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Thank you, Shir. They hadn't been friends in a long time, and when they were A. was very cruel to my sister. So it's more just feeling sad for her family and that she died so young.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Birthday Felicitations, Beth! I wish you a year ahead of good food, good friends, and good music!
smonster, I'm no expert, but a lifetime of pet-owning and observance suggests that bonny's probably right. Ginger looks like a love, but the chow in the mix would worry me around your cats. Frankie might be the better option.
Bonny, I would kill maimuse harsh language for your bone structure. You clearly don't need makeup to look fabulous. I do understand the wish for a little color and polish. I'll second Scrappy's suggestion for tinted moisturizer and powder, with a quarter turn. I use regular moisturizer and mineral powder foundation. It does even out my skin tones, and doesn't melt into lines the way even good liquid foundation can do. It has better staying power on a warm day, as well. I use an eyebrow pencil to fill in where mine are sparse, pencil eyeliner, with dark powder shadow smudged over the line to both soften and "set" the pencil line. The same pencil in the crease, smudged with a fingertip to give me the fabulous definition you have naturally. And powder blush stroked on the apple of the cheek toward the hairline, and on the upper lid under the arch of the brow.
I second the notion of colored gloss. Or a lipstick you like slicked with clear gloss. You'll be gorgeous-er than you already are.

My condolences to your sister, smonster. Losing even a frenemy at so young an age is difficult.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy birthday, Beth!
Shir, that's fantastic! Your project sounds fascinating and challenging. Will we ever get to see the results of it?

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Shir, that sounds amazing! Looking forward to hearing about how you approach that.
smonster, that's really sad.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Happy birthday, beth!

Looks like I'm off to see Frankie on my own. What's up with all my local friends having lives and stuff?

Our wings are not tired.
Good luck, Smonster!

Hmph! I wanted to get a pedicure, mostly for the massage chair, but the place is not open even though they're supposed to be!
