OK most of those shoes are clever in a gets-less-funny-each-time kind of way, but I like the kitty ones.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

ex on Ambien can be a fun 10 minutes. Inhibitions are lowered.

OR SO I HAVE HEARD.

Uh. Heh.

I, TOO, WOULD NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

So, I asked my students to post in the blackboard class forum about assessments they have seen--as students, or observing in classrooms. A couple of them have said things like "I haven't seen them assess. They do worksheets or take tests while I'm there." t headdesk

Totally peculiar heels. In theory one of them is NSFW, but it's pretty obscure.

I don't understand why the second one has the air spout thingy. does it actually blow up, or is it a prop for the shoe style?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I stood in Sephora and stared at the green Smashbox primer and kept thinking "It is green. I am yellow." Yet, I just stared at myself in the restroom mirror, and lo, I am red. It's just so damned GREEN.

Because books.

Do you mean the green concealerish stuff, ita? Because it works. I don't use the Smashbox stuff, but I have a green tone concealer and it's excellent for zits and other reddish places.

Green concealers have never worked for me. Instead of making my red zones look neutral, they make me look sickly. Of course, it is entirely possible that I am applying them wrong. But my foundation has good enough coverage that it makes me look even without making me look like I have a ton of make up on.

Yeah.

I understand the physics of it. I just can't get over the look of it.

Also, you know, I can just not look at my face, and then I forget about the fact that it's red.

Thanks for the Frontera info, guys. I really want to try to do lunch there when I'm in town for my college reunion, but it sounds like we'll need a backup plan at the very least.

Here's where I pimp the Gage on Michigan Ave. as a good alternate.
