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.
― horseshoe, Monday, 22 June 2009 20:13 (fourteen years ago) link
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:

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!
― But not someone who should be dead anyway (Laurel), Monday, 22 June 2009 20:17 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

Hive mind at work: I was in wallgreens and that new nair was on sale and staring at me so I bought it.
― tehresa, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 17:08 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― tehresa, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 17:10 (fourteen years ago) link
i trust u heard enbb's tale
― carpathian florist (roxymuzak), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 17:10 (fourteen years ago) link
I wish I could still afford leg waxing though, it's so much better than nair/shaving.
― tehresa, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 17:12 (fourteen years ago) link
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
― where we turn sweet dreams into remarkable realities (just1n3), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 17:15 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― ☺☻☺☻come on ppl now smile on u brother☺☻☺☻ (ENBB), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 17:24 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

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.
― horseshoe, Friday, 26 June 2009 21:06 (fourteen years ago) link
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

lol no it's fine i am a D cup sometimes DD. if you're bigger, i can imagine the supportiveness might crap out.
― horseshoe, Friday, 26 June 2009 21:12 (fourteen years ago) link
also that ad copy is sort of exaggerate-y--it's definitely not an "exquisitely beautiful" bra, but it gets the job done.

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
