xpost justine:

lisa frank designed crazy school supply items like some of the dolphin-festooned things you see on this thread, she was v popular with middle school aged girls in the early-mid 90s

melissa joan hart is mjh, she played the title role in "clarissa explains it all" which was a popular nickelodeon television show for the same age of girls at roughly the same time

i hate to be gabbneb, but i actually did briefly date a guy who kinda looked like james franco, esp as he is in this picture:

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

right??????

man i so rarely like a pinup type of dude it is kinda cool when i do cause then you can like commiserate about it with other girls

LOL yeah he's defintely just well . . . dreamy.

dryer sheets?

yes james franco is a universal.

he's 2 years older than me?!

dryer sheets and other products for the home lol

yeah what's the with dryer sheets? I'm allergic to most fabric softeners so I have to use hippy dippy all natural stuff that doesn't work all that great but is at least something.

how old r u

i hate dryer sheets, they are pointless

i don't like anything that makes things smell like anything!

Mr. Franco and I are 4 mo. and 10 days apart in age and I believe he's currently attending my alma matter.

o sorry that was so hueg ugh

i bet enbb liked donnie

jesus christ xpost

the one with the curly hair, i forget his name

tim olyphant in Go is a crush archetype of mine

Dryer sheets are fabric softener sheet things you put in the clothes dryer to make things smell "nice" and eliminate static.

OK WHAT IS THAT AD???

I had NKOTB earrings and my favorite was . . . DONNY! I liked the bad one. lol.

OMG HOW DID YOU KNOW IT WOULD BE DONNY!?

wait

it was joey

is it "ie" whoops - guess I'm not such a fan as I once was

mine was joey too! i was not going to be the first to admit that

xpost

someone is yelling homophobic slurs at some lesbians outside

tim olyphant in Go is . . . hot

i simultaneously had a huge crush on jason priestly too

lol then i turned 13 and got a crush on billy corgan

yes i preferred priestly to perry.

I thought the rest of New Kids were too girly or something idk but I was in love with Donnie. lol. Oh man.

I preferred priestly to perry too.

i always liked nice boys

I was just watching the video for Roy Orbison's "I drove All Night" the other day and had completely forgotten that it stars Priestly and J Connelly and is pretty steamy.

i liked luke perry, but liked jordan over donnie, i am an anomaly

i always like big queens with high pitched voices i think

Harbl - tell us who you were crushing on pls. We want to understand the youth of today.

On the topic of Phoenix's - they're all pretty hot but I've always been perplexed by how they all sort of look alike in the same dark and intensely featured sort of way except for River who looked absolutely nothing like that at all.

SO MUCH HOTTNESS

Here's a girl issue I would like to address at some point. Bikini waxing or other methods of grooming/hair removal. Just putting that out there.

xp lol i dunno this is weird maybe but i can't remember crushing on any type of celebrity for like my entire life? i'm not even gay

the exfoliating kind of nair is amazing

this is not a retro statement, i mean it

yes but harbl who did you crush on as a preteen? you dont have to still like them

HOOS!

no that's what i'm saying i don't remember it ever happening!

time to batten down one hatch

i've seen that new nair stuff on tv - is it good, rox?

also: i will rep keanu forever and ever and ever and ever <3 <3

yes, it is actually awesome, and i hate nair

you rub it into your legs and then rinse it off in three minutes, and your legs will feel like a baby's ass, seriously my legs have never been smoother than that

how long does the smoothness last? is it ok to use on underarms/bikini line?

few days and yes

imo it takes less time or about the same amount of time as shaving anyways

i used nair a few times when i was younger, but the smell... gaaahhh

I've actually used the stuff that Roxy's talking about and it's pretty great.

lol there was this stuff in nz/aus called 'nads' that was a hair removal stuff like honey (and was all natural and actually edible), but it worked like shit

(it was invented by this house wife for her daughter, nadine (hence 'nads'), cuz she had really hairy arms

Oh we got the Nads commercials here - you can eat it!

yeah we have that here too justine

nair smells but its like, no pain no gain imo

Oh speaking of pain and bikini area hair removal, I'm going to go find one of my first ever posts about the one and only time I've allowed a small eastern European woman anywhere near my vulva with hot wax . . .

you only live once

I want to be ok with bikini waxing, I really do. I've only had one experience with it though and I think it has left me scarred for life. I am not sure what I was expecting but it certainly didn't involve winding up on my hands and knees, holding my cheeks apart while a small Brazillian woman got closer to my bits than any gynaecologist ever has. Did I mention that the room had mirrors on all the walls? The whole situation resembled something out of a medical fetish porno. *shudders* That said, the results were fantastic. Until I get over that particular waxing experience, I'm sticking with shaving/trimming.

Listen, I don't think you've really lived until you find yourself spreading your own ass cheeks apart in a smalled room with mirrored walls while a middle-aged lady pours hot wax all over your genitals so yeah . . . it was an experience all right.

btw - I have since had this done in much tamer and nicer settings. I'm still not convinced that first time wasn't an elaborate hoax and that' I'm not an unwitting star in some b-grade porno somewhere.

mirrored walls!??!?!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

surely it was a bit of a red flag when she went from being eastern european to brazilian mid-procedure.

You're right, I should have left right then.

HI ESTELA!

YES! The we're back ladies - E, E, and E (even though her name doesn't really start with "E")!

Ftr, my favorite nkotb was Joey and we have the same birthday. One time I dreamed that he called me and then we met up and he gave me a kiss.

Awwwww.

Jordan.

Anyone else remember YM? It was edited by Bonnie Fuller, who later became the evil gossip queen of US Weekly. Denise Richards was in ads for Bonne Bell. I was jealous of her, she had brown hair and blue eyes, which at the time I thought was the most perfect conceivable hair/eye color combination.

Sassy was better, obvs.

Yes I remember all those but yeah, Sassy was my favorite.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eat-the-press/Sassy%20rocker%20grrl-thumb.JPG

I'm pretty sassy though so it makes sense.

i remember seventeen and ym. i didn't feel like they were relevant to my life. maybe sassy would have been more but i wasn't very sassy. i don't really remember anything about being a child or teenager. is that weird?

u r dead meat when roxy catches u in here

I got backup.

Who remembers these?

http://dumpystripmalls.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/434c_11.jpg

What the?! I thought you'd already been taken care of Mr. S.

We should probably just start telling first period stories. I don't think the boys will want in on that.

wth w/ that gib

...oyeux?

I'm confused!!!

can you not read, evan?

boys are in the room

i remember desperately wanting one of those charm necklaces, but i don't think i ever got one. i was obsessed with the little fake lipsticks for some reason. it's weird how grown women will buy expensive, gold versions of them still.

Wait - like fake gold lipsticks? Why?!

haha not really exactly like them, but you know, expensive charm bracelets/necklaces. these are a thing, right? maybe i'm making them up.

LOL yeah - I get you now. They're still definitely a thing and I don't really get it tbh.

The plastic ones were a version of real charms to begin with. I have a '50s-style charm bracelet, my mom started them for us when we were little, and I'm still really jealous of hers, like the globe on a stand that's made of turquoise so it rly kind of looks like the earth, and it spins.

i guess that makes more sense.

Yes, I like the vintage type ones. My mom also started one of those for me when I was little and has a cool one herself that also has a globe. It's this kind of thing I'm not too keen on, I guess:

http://www.tiffany.com/shopping/CategoryBrowse.aspx?cid=288216&mcat=148204

The point of charms is to be commemorative, though. I have charms for major performances, recitals, certain years of my life, things that people gave me like a saint's medal (St Michael? no idea why) and odds and ends that remind me of people. I just found a 1950s-era New York subway token in a handbag in a secondhand store, and I'm going to put a silver link through it and add it to my charm bracelet to commemorate the last dozen years of my life, basically.

Oh, Tiffany's. Gross!

Yes - I think mine has a saint's medal too. It also has little skis purchased in Colorado when I learned to ski, a heart for my 16th birthday and some others. I think the subway token is a great idea.

Yeah, see?! Stuff from your childhood, that's the ticket.

okay i can't believe i might actually try nair bc of this thread.

yeah i'm gonna get me some

I don't remember it working that well but it's been many years.

roxy tried some new exfoliating kind, Laurel!

Guys try it and then we can all wear hotpants and do a kickline:

Purchasing a pair of flowery be-sequined hotpants in anticipation xpost

Guys I am watching the craft now because I bought the craft and wild things for 3.99 at ross when I was meant to buy housewares and anyway two things:
1) this soundtrack!
2) skeet ulrich! Poor man's Johnny Depp! Used to love him!

Where are the girlz? :(

I just realized that skeet in this movie looks like the boy I had a srs crush on in 8th grade.

poor skeet ulrich

im going to start banning rpt boy offenders from 1p3 altogether

Hive mind at work: I was in wallgreens and that new nair was on sale and staring at me so I bought it.

hahaha i saw it this morning in kroger and picked up some extra. and i used it last night!!! i am so smooth

Also btw, leg waxing hurts a lot more than bikini waxing but I've never done a full Brazilian or whatever so maybe that's not true.

i trust u heard enbb's tale

I wish I could still afford leg waxing though, it's so much better than nair/shaving.

brazilian was pretty painful first time - and about the most embarrassed i've ever been - but really easy the 2nd time. gotta make sure you have a waxer who'll take it off in big patches so it's all over in 10mins, not someone who does tiny little patches and takes 90fuckinmins

Yeah if you do end up having it done then I'd recommend you check to make sure that it's not carried out in a room with MIRRORED WALLS.

I'd definitely have a bikini wax done again (and have since) but not the full deal.

BTW - I bought the nair yesterday too. LOL.

Oh also - waxing that particular area yourself with one of the store bought kits is something I would definitely not recommend.

Jezebel shows a documentary clip on this very topic

WARNING TO ENBB: CONTINUED MISUSE OF ANATOMICAL TERMS, MAY CAUSE RAGE.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Ok - will wait to watch this tonight until I'm home and can verbally express any rage generated.

Thanks for the heads up, btw.

Oh boy I can't wait to have internets at home again

too old for new kids - my bff and I were totally crushing on:
http://im-possible.info/images/art/films/labyrinth/bowie_labyrinth.jpg

Bowie's package in that movie is obscene.

until I found that pic, I had forgotten about those boots. I have a pair kinda like that that I rarely well because heels make my feet hurt.

this is where we're talking about bras, i presume? i just bought one i love: strapless bras are usually not worth it in my experience, but this one is great.

strapless bras never work for me

:(:(:(:(:(:(

yeah, me neither. this one is supportive though and not padded and also comfortable. i feel evangelical about it.

maybe i should check it out!!

how big are your boobs btw

if that is too personal just make up something outlandish

"96 J"

lol no it's fine i am a D cup sometimes DD. if you're bigger, i can imagine the supportiveness might crap out.

also that ad copy is sort of exaggerate-y--it's definitely not an "exquisitely beautiful" bra, but it gets the job done.

"exquisite stretch lace" LOL

i hate catalog copy

last night i told my bf that with the light off he looked like janmes franco, he got pissed off

Hey used that nair shit today it is pretty tite imo

finally i am an evangelist of something

I hate strapless bras but I sort of need one. I will check that one out. You guys have much bigger boobs than I do though. I'm only a b or very sm C depending on the bra. I have such a hard time finding bras that I think almost all the ones I own are the same make just in different colors/materials. If I can get away with not wearing them under whatever clothes I have on I do - that's how much I hate them.

im jealous, theres only one thing i can get away with not wearing a bra in - halter dresses

i love them for this reason

I <3 halter dresses too just cause they're awesome.

also tank tops that include a bra, although the thing is usually a little too small, they are still sooo comfy

Yes, I will rep for those as well.

lets run on that platform

do you guys ever have like a flash of paranoia when you see a woman on the street and you're like "shit that's gonna be me in 20 years"

or is it just me

YES

when i see those weird legs

you know what i mean

WEIRD LEGS

nah i just went out to take the garbage out and there were these two ladies who looked like they were getting off the bus from work maybe and one of them had this long ugly skirt that was like a quilt of purple and blue velour and she had long hair and a big butt, nothing about her was like me AT ALL but she just made me paranoid about getting old. she looked like she was a teacher maybe.

it was weird, i shouldn't worry about it

becoming like her i mean, it's impossible

i feel bad for talking about her like this, i bet she's really nice she just scared me

these things happen so gradually, you wouldnt believe it

otoh sometimes i see old ladies (not old old like maybe 50 or 60) and i think hey that would be ok. esp because i am gonna have white hair when i get old, which is good.

i think i already have weird legs probably u_u

crazylegs

you are a great breakdancer!

i hope i die before i get old

ok yeah shit - that wouldn't be good

I actually really like my legs. I hope they don't go bad!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

sucks that those are genetic--my mom and uncle both had surgery to remove them bc they are painful and ugly.

that, and the very weird cellulite thats almost like a post-cellulite in that it looks like something has left the leg

oh no!

you know what im talking about. philip that that that deflated leg.

i mean lets just get this out of the way here

its like when they get a cold you are expected to throw a fucking parade

omg the barq's root beer lip smacker is so good!!!!!!!1

never seen one i didn't hate tbh

nb i like really bad, dumb movies sometimes but not 'chick flicks' (not sure what that really means though) i just...whenever i see one i feel like ugh i can't believe i'm supposed to like this

sorry

dont apologize to me as u can see i have mixed reviews myself

ok i just sorried twice in like 5 posts i dunno what's wrong w/ me this morning!

i just read a thing about how women overapologize

oh yeah i know about that. i try to watch out for it. same with "i'm probably wrong but..." and that kind of 'hedging' talk like when people ask questions in a class or something.

sometimes boys overapologize too though. i don't like it.

yes it can be annoying in everyone

i am gonna make 2 sweet potato pies today. after i get butter.

I am sooooooooooooo guilty of this. Should work on not doing it.

Sweet potato pies!

i don't feel like the proper amount of reverence is being shown for clueless but it is okay for women to have different opinions than each other, i suppose.

the overapologizing thing is a thing. i hate it and do it.

i do it too. i'm sorry. please don't hate me!

i burnt myself on the oven

fried green tomatoes +++++++

<3

i have eaten my weight in salt and vinegar potato chips today iirc

those are my favorite of all the chips

yes they are a true challenge and reward to eat

I just housed the biggest blueberry pancake I've ever seen. Waited nearly 40 mins. for a table and another 30 for the food so by the time it got to me I was STARVING. So good but I think I'm going to vomit and then die now.

the overapologizing thing is a thing. i hate it and do it.

I have been thinking about this all morning because it is and I do it a lot but don't know why. I do it mainly when I'm unsure if a person is upset or angry with me esp if someone is being uncommunicative. I guess I do it a lot in general too. I don't know. I wish I knew why I do this or how to stop because even I know it's annoying.

can we talk about food that we crave when we're on our periods?

sometimes when i do it i think it is kind of a game where i'm trying to see if the person i'm apologizing to is going to dismiss me or see through the apology and credit whatever it is i'm apologizing for? (if that makes no sense, this happened a lot in graduate school when i was making a comment in class/at a lecture/in a workshop.) this is a pretty self-defeating and fucked up game, needless to say. there's some weird kind of vindication when people do dismiss you, though. lol i sound like a crazy person.

Sorry, I don't think I really do this too much.

lol

no i have that xxp

also impostor syndrome, where you feel like everything you've done is like a joke because everyone else has been working hard and you're just pretending to be smart, and people will find out any minute

I just always felt smarter/superior bc I didn't have to work as hard lol.

yeah i think that is probably related! also, harbl you seem v accomplished, especially for someone who is five years old!

i kind of have swings of this sometimes, it goes back and forth but i think they reinforce each other

like when people say "aren't you gonna study" and i'm thinking fuck that who cares and then i do fine and i subsequently feel like an impostor

yeah, i think the apologizing thing, at least when i do it, is a mix of superiority and insecurity. the superiority comes from secretly knowing that you're not as dumb/insecure as you've made yourself sound by apologizing.

girls only thread causing me to overshare.

I never really feel impostory but sometimes I would get pissed off if someone I thought was dumb or had stupid ideas/projects got a better grade than I did even if they put more time into it which I guess is silly but maybe not because more time spent on a project does not necessarily mean better quality but whatever that's life I guess.
Xpost

people i think are dumb often get better grades than me but that's what happens when you think everyone is dumb

ob tampons

I just always felt smarter/superior bc I didn't have to work as hard lol.

that was me, too ... until I got to college.

i felt smarter for other reasons

i think i thought i had extrasensory perception or something

(read too much "girl with the silver eyes")

omg that book!

did you love it?????????????

books

girl with the silver eyes +
karen kepplewhite is the worlds best kisser +
all rl stine and christopher pike trash +
otis spofford et al +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

actually cant think of any stupid YA book that i didnt like at least somewhat

argh i can't find the cover from my old copy on GIS, but even just the cover is super-evocative.

xpost it obsessed me! so scary/awesome!

karen kepplewhite is a fave!

girl with the silver eyes +
karen kepplewhite is the world best kisser +
rl stine = chris pike +++++
is otis spofford one of the beverly cleary characters?

i wonder which cover you had. i have a collection of different editions lol.

i had this one:

http://logan.com/loganberry/solved-girlsilvereyes.jpg

im so glad you knew karen kepplewhite

yes! otis spofford was the redhead who lived in the shitty apartments, the "working class" one. he was probably my favorite though i loved them all. he loved ellen tebbits and so did i

the one i had was all blue + purple and the "girl" on the front barely looks human? spooky.

xpost oh ellen tebbits! loved her! some cleary books i loved, but some have not stuck with me.

when I was in 4th grade my favorite books were Harriet the Spy and The Spy's Guidebook ... I figured that utilizing the professional techniques described in the latter book that I wouldn't get caught like Harriet did. In actuality, no one really paid any attention whatsoever.

harriet the spy got me into tomato sandwiches.

+ is a great book.

How do you guys feel about sweet valley high and the babysitters club?

i definitely loved them in fourth grade; SVH in particular--so racy! though i have tried to reread the babysitter's club when a mood for YA fiction comes on me a couple times and those books are so boring!

the beginning of all those SVH books is weirdly mesmerizing, with the details of how Jessica and Elizabeth have identical dimples and identical lavalieres that were given to them on their sixteenth birthday. i was never clear on what a lavaliere was.

I know what a lavalier microphone is. It's the kind that clips onto your collar.

All the YA novels I read made me want to live in NYC - those girls were always going to museums, and literary circles, and doing investigative reporting or something exciting, and had cool boys that liked them even if they were pudgy and plain. For the life of me, I can't remember a single title, but I want to say they were all from the 70s.

paula danziger wrote books like that, sarahel!

yeah i read like a hundred babysitters club books and i always skipped chapter 2 because it was exactly the same in every book. not sure what i got out of them at all--they were mega boring. sweet valley high were better i guess but i don't remember them.

http://jezebel.com/assets/resources/2008/02/catgreen022208.jpg

^^ Yes! Thanks!

though i wanted to read what boys were reading in 4th-5th grade so i read goosebumps more, even though my teachers hated them for some reason

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51N9SNK8SBL.jpg

this cover is wack, though

i vividly remember this
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n2/n11692.jpg

looooool that is not really a "saying," r. l. stine!

xp harbl - I got in a fight with my bff at one point because I liked boys' sci-fi stuff and she liked Anne McCaffrey girly dragon sci-fi stuff, that just seemed to me like the girls-with-horses genre but translated into sci-fi/fantasy. Our relationship never completely recovered after that, though we're now pretty good friends on facebook.

i forgot:

http://mrselderkinsclass.com/images/Basil_E_Frankweiler.jpg

A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

that is one of the best books ever tbh

i was into SVH for sure, but it was a completely voyeuristic thing, like look at these girls who have everything i'll never have and who are completely perfect and enviable but essentially unrealistic

babysitters club were trash but i read all of them anyway! i remember one of the special edition ones (double thick) that was about going away to camp that i liked in particular. they hiked and stuff throughout, maybe thats why i liked it.

ive got to reread it!!! xpost

i remember that one and the one about winter vacation that was really thick. i dropped it in the bathtub.

i am about to go find my copy because i'm trying to remember a scene where claudia gives jamie a list of instructions for their plan to runaway and he reads it and then eats it! because he "likes complications," i think? <3 <3 <3

also maryann was the only one in the club with a "steady boyfriend" (age 13)

claudia kishi had some clothes

i know i read all these high-quality YA books but i can only remember babysitters' club

yeah stacey was diabetic

jessie was black

yes, and stacey had curly blonde hair and was sliiightly chubby iirc?

claudia kishi!!!!

was one supposed to be kind of the main one, the alpha girl, the standard?

if so was it kristy

claudia kishi was the best one. she had, like, three-tiered socks!

xpost yeah that was kristy. she was a jock + bossy + the president

i forgot about claudia and her wacky clothes, she was totally my favorite and i started stacking my socks to look like that too!!

http://whatclaudiawore.blogspot.com/

mary anne was shy and had glasses aka who cared about her, no one

"She always wears the trendiest outfits. For instance, at our last meeting she was wearing layers - a shocking-pink tunic over a white shirt with pink and yellow umbrellas printed on it. Over the tunic was a wide, low-slung yellow belt with a pink plastic buckle. The shirt, but not the tunic, was tucked into a pair of black knickers, and below the knickers were yellow stockings."

"Same old Claud, I thought as we trudged up our front steps. Her hair was flowing down her back, pulled away from her face by a headband with a huge pink rose attached to it. She was wearing a long, oversized black-and-white sweater, skin-tight black leggings, pink-and-black socks, and black ballet slippers. Her jewelry was new, and I could tell she'd made it herself. You know those things about a best friend. Her necklace was a string of glazed beads that she'd probably made in her pottery class. And from her ears dangled an alarming number of plastic charms attached to gold hoops."

so cooool

dawn i always pictured being beautiful, didnt she fall in love with her own brother or something

It's her clothes that amaze me, though. (I think they amaze everyone.) Claud mixes and matches the weirdest stuff and comes up with the coolest outfits. Like a loose blouse with a fake coat of arms on it worn over a very short black skirt. Around her waist, a scarf. On her feet, short black boots. Dangling from her ears, dinosaurs. And her hair might be piled on top of her head and held in place with hairpins that look like seahorses. She combines all this stuff - and she looks fantastic."

^^Mary Ann's POV. i like how she's amazed by black boots. "get this, on her feet---BOOTS!"

haha mary anne was younger though, she probably wore, like, keds

wait i was thinking of mallory

and she had a really strict dad who wouldn't let her pierce her ears, i think.

xpost yeah mallory was younger, mary ann had a strict dad.

Totally stacked socks after reading bc!
Xpost

Gah I can't keep up on fone :(

http://i15.ebayimg.com/01/i/000/c9/b6/d0c1_1.JPG

this is i think the one i loved

hang up u call imo

3. Mary Anne's Big Break-up - Mary Anne decides to break up with Logan due to their growing incompatible interests and values.

hahha, namely that he was gay

i am going to reread these

haha i totally wore cutoffs over black tights because of kishi on the cover of the new york special edition

http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n31/n155634.jpg

some jealous hoes imo

ha totally! they don't have old mary anne to kick around anymore.

sorry i got beautiful and stole u BFs bitches

*quits babbysitters club

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YNT6kBPnhgg/SVL5yEZL9vI/AAAAAAAAALc/PM-2yuTtlZY/s400/claud.jpg

haha claudia being welcomed to womanhood imo

oh good! i couldn't remember claudia having a boyfriend at any time and i was wondering wtf was wrong with those boys anway.

remember when dawn found a secret part of the underground railroad in her parents' house? also she moved to california for a while. i think they called it "sunny california"

or like whenever they mentioned she was from california it was like "that's right, sunny california," and that made me think california was like a magical place only the coolest people could go to

yeah, Dawn was also the one who was unfazed by everything because of her cool California attitude.

we have smoething in common with harbl!!!!!!!

also there were babysitters club mysteries. one time claudia solved a bank robbery because she was taking a photography class and the clue was in one of her pictures. she "blew up" the photo by repeatedly taking pictures of it. she could have just done that while printing but i guess she didn't know how photography worked.

ha xp

I think I always liked Stacey and Claudia best. Dawn was a little too blonde or something?

Holy shit you guys are on fire this afternoon. Must catch up. Think I liked Stacey and Claudia the best too.

Also, I don't really do the apologizing thing at work or in an academic setting. I think I tend to do it more in relationships and with friends. :-(

I am feeling sad and bad for not knowing this thread was here hello ladies!

welcome TRAYCE!

Hello, hair friend!

we should have matching jackets or something. ...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v136/primrosehill/1p3ladiesjacket.jpg

zoley, yes!

would wear

ha - was just going to say the same

Can we get that shit in pink, tho?

yes, there should be a pink with black option

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v136/primrosehill/1p3ladiesjacketPINK.jpg
tbh

Perfect

Wd wear with rollerderby smash outfit ++

i read a lot of BC books but don't remember them really; SVH i LOVED but only read a handful cuz they were always checked out from the library. i REALLY loved c. pike books, and also lois duncan and bridge to terabithia and others of that kind.

I cried when I read bridge to terabithia when I was a kid and also when I watched the movie a few months ago.

should we also have a blingy option for the jackets?

blingee option

god bridge to terabithia is the saddest book.

Hello thread!

I was mad stuck on everything Marguerite Henry ever wrote, and had the plastic model horses to prove it.

!

WELCOME SUZY

Hi Suzy! :-)

Thread, as if I needed further activities fiendishly designed to promote procrasturbation here.

ooh just found my old paperbacks of FREAKY FRIDAY and FOXES with Jodie Foster covers, fuck a Lohan...

Oh that's weird - I was just talking about Freaky Friday last night! When I was little I had a copy of that on VHS and I think I watched that movie at least a couple times a week for . . . years. Annabel! Fuck a Lohan indeed.

Right now I am waiting for a person from the building managers to come over with various colors/finishes for kitchen cupboards and the like. Have been waiting for 90 mins of a two-hour window, argh. OTOH can wait on balcony with lots of sun until they turn up.

LOLirony corner: it was about six months ago I put finishing touches on kitchen decoration; now have creeping dread-suction that the contractors my landlord uses will fuck everything up six ways from Sunday.

just used that nair stuff on my armpits and now they are two burning itching pits of hell

yeah i was gonna say my legs got mad itchy the other night after i used this stuff but for the most part it worked really well and lasted longer than normal nair? maybe it's all psychological.

armpits. wow, u brave.

still fuckin hurts

had to spray some lidocaine on that shit

I've always used the one for sensitive skin and never had any problems. Maybe you can try that one next time.

I've been able to use Nair depil on even more erm sensitive areas before without tooooo much hassle... but its not the most comfy thing ever >_>

Veet sensitive has always treated me right

Actually yes Veet not Nair.

i couldn't even put goddamn deodorant under my arms today - still burning like a mofo

:(

i got a haircut

can we see it or

nah

she means her private hair

she cut it into a triforce shape

LOL

HAHAHAHAHA

nah i mean the guy put so much gunk in it i look like a power lesbian right now lol

wowwwww

i'm talking about the hair on my head btw
he also asked me if i wanted to look like a female golfer and i was like no

He didn't!

a specific one or just "would you like to look like a female golfer???" i just died btw

he was jk
actually i think what he said was "oh so you don't want to look like a female golfer"

haircut here too, heatwave means I got it cut a little bit shorter than usual and it has gone vv curly.

trying not to cut my hair for a while tbh but i could use a bang trim and i've lost the courage to do it myself like i used to.

I think I'm fortunate that my hair is curly in that regard - because it's fairly easy to camouflage errors in bangs trimming ... which I do make.

i need a haircut too, guys!

one thing i have found since i went short with my hair last year is that it is always in danger of becoming a mullet! like, a month will go by after a haircut and there will be incipient mullet-ness. it seems like kind of a scam, short hair.

You need to get it cut so much more often which makes it that much more $$ and high maintenance in terms of upkeep.

Erica, i hope this doesn't creep you out but sometimes when i am having a good hair day (my hair is roughly your hair length) i think, "my hair looks like Erica's today!"

xp i know, it sucksssssss
my hair is way too thick to let go as much as i do though (mostly to save $$ and because i like getting haircuts only slightly more than i like going to the dr), i should pay more attention to it. i feel so much better now!

i am jealous of boys because they can just buzz it themselves and not care

xp - mine's really thick, too - in order to keep it relatively short and not look like the Dilbert triangle-hair lady, I shave the back and underneath. I've had basically the same haircut for 18 years.

Aw, HS that's really sweet. I'll tell you what though - i'm having a shitty hair SUMMER. We've had so much rain that even though my hair is normally pin straight, the ends keep doing this weird winging out thing because of the humidity. It sucks cause it's not long enough to put in a ponytail so I'm stuck with like . . . oddly feathered looking hair 1/2 the time.

xxp thinning shears work well, too.

my hair turns into a giant pillow when it's humid, u should see it

Damn - I'm glad I don't live where it's humid.

Yeah seriously. If the humidity is doing this to MY hair it must be hell for people who actually have wavy/curly hair.

now that my hair is somewhat longer i am hoping that living in a humid climate will make it wave better but probably it will just do stupid weird things and frizz.

i look like i am in deep purple when it is humid

http://www.thegauntlet.com/photo/Deep%20Purple.jpg

fourth from left

tbh

If I didn't thin/shave the back - I'd look like the 2nd from the left dude.

anyone else?

if i go without a haircut for like five days i look like http://www.hearya.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/richard-marx.jpg

I've had mullet-phobia since 1987. That summer, before I started 8th grade, my family took it's every-three-years-or-so vacation to the UK, and while I was there, I got a haircut. It was a mullet. It was a cute haircut for about 2 hours. I spent a couple years growing it out. Since then, I've always cut my hair long in front and shorter in back to avoid even the remotest possibility of mullet.

My cousin went to Europe a few summers back, and she and the two or three others she was travelling with all got haircuts - they all got mullet-ed except for her, but she had to be extremely firm about it.

Is it some anti-foreigner thing, or do European hairdressers give mullets to everyone?

Fashion mullets were really big in the UK a few years back actually.

my sister actually really rocked a bowie mullet ~2004

one of my good female friends had a subtle mullet a couple years ago ... I felt like we weren't close enough at the time for me to bring up its essential mullet nature.

did it look good, tz??

it was amazing. and i bleached her and put in some teal and purple streaks. it was kind of great.

!!!! do u have pics

hmmm somewhere. i had a different computer then.
i will look.

okay that sounds amazing.

pics pls stat

yes!

pics or it didn't happen

I wd have all this too thick hair pls, mine is so thin and wispy and useless, and now its GRAY in addition, it wont do anything but like there like a bored housewife.

speaking of, i bought this why bc the bottle look intersting
http://wine.psydr.com/wine/images/2006_mad_housewife_cabernet_sauvignon.jpg

Speaking of mullets this was a big style in Melbourne in the 70s (kind of mullet but a little different)

xpost hahaha that wine label is awesome!

the back says something about sneaking into the closet for me time or something silly

Mothers little helper =)

"somewhere near the cool shadows of the laundry room. past the litter box and between the plastic yard toys. this is your time. time to enjoy a moment to yourself. a moment without the madness. the dishes can wait. dinner be damned."

^^^the label actually says this

i wish i was a wine label copywriter

"Get drunk so you can pretend you dont have kids!"

second from right in sharpies pic looks awesome

i think i posted about this before, but once i was drunk in nashville and tried to give myself gram parsons' haircut. it turned out to just be a huge bang cut very crazy. bandmate upon first viewing of haircut: "this is grim"
