[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.

She is 18. Going on 14.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I'd say something about that being a perfect age for obsessive lipstick talk, but I'm 43 and I could go on about it for a good long time.

ION, I got a heated shiatsu pillow massager for V Day, and it's taken away so much back pain. I love it.

Blue lipstick. To match her newly blue-and-green mermaid hair. For the record, I think her hair looks great, but blue lips look too strange to me.

ooo. Now I want one. What kind is it?

Also, hi, Strix!

Blue lips require a deft hand and the proper shade of blue for the complexion. Which can be very challenging with, you know, blue lipstick.

But I am jealous of her mermaid hair. I've been mooning over pix of great colored hair jobs lately, thinking of actually going to a salon for color! (Dyeing for 25+ years, have been to a salon for it twice.)

The pillow is a Zyllion. We got it on Amazon (D wanted me to pick out one I liked.) It was about $40, and it's warm and those massager knots are no joke. But letting them dig into knots is fantastic! The first time I used it, I felt like I'd gotten a deep tissue massage the next day.

Okay, I'm watching Love, Lust, or Run, and here's a woman who apparently actually walks around in public in one of the most outre outfits I've ever seen. I mean, you do you, for sure, but she's wearing a corset and fishnets, and jeans with so many cutouts there's barely any denim left. As everyday wear. To pick up her kids from school. And she's here asking Ms. London to help her figure out how to dress to get people to respect her. I don't get it. Fashion makeovers are great if you want one, getting someone to help you refine your look, absolutely. But really, you can't look at the other people around you to figure at least a starting point? Like, how about, put on a shirt and pants? Go to a stylist to help you figure out WHICH shirt and pants, not THAT YOU NEED TO WEAR THEM.

Or skirt. Or dress. You know. Actual outerwear. I'm all for pushing the envelope, but if you show up to the PTA meeting looking like Delirium of The Endless, you have pushed that envelope right into the abyss.

There was a woman in Vegas whose jeans had the front of the thighs and down to the mid shin cut out. Many other jeans had random ragged holes. And lots of yoga pants. I am content being unfashionable.

Woo! I get a massager toaster! It says to strap it to a straight backed chair, but IDGAF, and just move it up and down my back at intervals while I'm sitting in my grandma recliner.

I worked at an after care program for an elementary school in AmeriCorps, and hoo boy, did I see some truly godawful outfits on parents.

Thrive to spite them

Zen I watched that, I got the feeling that she couldn't figure out how to feel comfortable without having all the things that made her feel good when she was a club kid. I got the feeling she thought either she looked like that or she looked boring and lost her "identity". What Stacy did was make her look edgy but respectable.

Yeah, I get that. What I don't get is not being able to bring a look any closer to appropriate for the places she wanted to be appropriate in. Isn't it equally uncomfortable to be outrageously dressed? It is for me, anyway. I guess other people prefer the discomfort they know!
