clothing dilemma

[burntcopper]

Dammit. Girlie shopping last night, problem being that by the time we got to Topshop (the original reason for *going*) it was late enough that everyone else wanted to go home so I had to go in by self and couldn't get second opinion on dresses.

The style fits, they both look great, just can't decide on colour :

opinions?

'course, they all managed to find stuff that looked great on them in H&M. Dammit.

Today's Dilbert? Showed it to Lissy and she went 'have they been reading our emails?' :twitch: We have never used this excuse with latex files. never. ever.

Hee. Got an email with 'temp receptionist wanted', I pouted because it meant that ridiculously competent temp's time was up, asked office manager if this was true. it is, sadly, but it turns out ridiculously competent temp is now going full time in horribly understaffed HR. So that's some silver lining. (We've done it before, we'll do it again. it's a good way of trialling people.)

Tracklisting been revealed for Daniel Boys' album. (large amounts of what I suspect is cheese, I think it's unavoidable on musical theatre performers' solo albums. It's like a disease.) One of the ones listed is 'They Don't Make Glass Slippers' and I'm hoping like hell that it's the Stiles and Drewe one from Soho Cinders because it was a lovely song when Gareth Gates sang it, and Daniel is far more talented than the Gates boy.

Hmp. Does anyone know if any of those lash-curling mascaras work? The No.7 I'm using doesn't smudge *as much* as all the others, but I still get smudges due to having short eyelashes. Lash curlers make them look really bloody odd and bent.

Oh good god. Not another american article on the trend of twenty-somethings getting tattoos. Besides the fact that your observations are about ten years out of date - tattoos being commonplace started in the late nineties, you're still trotting out that tired and completely out of touch line about tattoos being about rebellion and trying to be individual, and 'there's so many of them trying to be individual that it makes them an amorphous mass'. Flying Spaghetti Monster give me strength. Getting inked is about decoration or personal meaning. it always has been, and you're a fucking nitwit if you're getting it for rebellion. I think the last people to do it for effect were punks. (middle-class art students rebelling for effect and attention)

Although I hate the colour, on you the yellow would look better.

Mascara - just get a curler, never found a mascara that does more than layer.

I vote yellow for the dress. Is nicer than the blue.

I think you could carry off the yellow dress with your colouring and it would look very stylish, so I vote for that one!

I agree that the Daniel Boys track list does look very cheesy. Ah well, I like his voice.

My vote's for the blue; maybe it's just the picture but the yellow looks a bit on the pale side for my tastes and I think it'd just look boring on you. The blue would look fantastic.

Of course, I'm wearing a halter top in that exact color blue at this very moment, so I'm biased.

Hah! Inked for rebellion! I got my mom's permission to get inked. No, it was never that for me; for me it was a)fun, and b) this weird complex self-affirmation thing. But mostly because I liked the way it looked.

Also: blue. It's pretty! And versatile.

I've never found a lash curling mascara that did what it said on the tin, and I have lashes long enough to curl (I just don't like things near my eye).

This stuff seriously rocks my planet.
