levlen... pretty mild & clears up acne

[JustSteve]

but I'll never understand why medications can't be sold cheaply when they're so cheap to produce. Hell, even regulating the cost of generics would be better than nothing. It wouldn't help people get the latest drugs, but at least the most common prescriptions would be affordable.

name brands are so expensive because of the 10's of millions of dollars it costs to bring them to market.

[RotationSlimWang]

name brands are so expensive because of the 10's of millions of dollars it costs to bring them to market.

Name brands are so expensive because it's possibly the single most corrupt industry on the planet, second perhaps only to fuel. In the smart parts of the Western world they don't have "name brand" fucking medications because medicine isn't something that should be profiteered. In Canada or Europe you get non brand name versions of the same exact chemicals, except over there they're as strong as they're supposed to be, whereas over here they intentionally make the generics weaker than name brands even though they supposedly contain the same ingredients.

[chiapet]

Right, as I said, it wouldn't be so costly to make generics widely available. Pharmaceutical companies recover expenses by the time the patent on a new drug is up. They might as well move on to the next thing, and let us consume mass-produced generics at cheap rates.

[JustSteve]

i have seen tons of ads for generics as low as $4 per fill at places like ralphs, cvs, costco, etc. doubt it is a comprehensive list, but probably covers a lot of the common drugs.

[RotationSlimWang]

Right, you don't get the point though. In other actually advanced countries they don't have Valium or diazepam, they just have diazepam, because medicine isn't supposed to be broken down into high-priced Ralph Lauren medicine and cheap knockoff medicine. They make the fucking pharmaceutical countries make the generics right so there's no need to pay exorbitant prices just to get the true quality medicine you need.

[chiapet]

How is pharmaceutical research funded in the countries you're mentioning, though, Randy? Privately or publicly?

[RotationSlimWang]

You're so fucking retarded when it comes to argument, Chia. Why would you both asking that question? Obviously I'm advocating the one method over the other because otherwise you end up WITH THE CORRUPT FUCKED UP SYSTEM I'M DESCRIBING. You can't combat my point about the absurd costs incurred by our greedy privatized system by saying, "Well they're expensive because they're funded privately."

THAT'S WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

[chiapet]

And you think it would be significantly better with OUR government running things? :)

Edited to add -- and that's what the argument IS. If the people in this country were really willing to support (in terms of public sector funding) pharmaceutical development in order to have cheaper prescriptions for everyone, we'd have it. I'm not sure that the majority of this country in terms of tax $$ sources wants that to happen. Because they already have health coverage.

[RotationSlimWang]

A million times over, yes. I'm pretty damn satisfied with how they run the Fire Department, and aside from the corruption (which wouldn't be altered in any way by privatization) the Police service is pretty goddamned efficient. FBI's pretty good at what they do too. And the fact that the postal service delivers my letters with a near 100 percent success rate anywhere I want in the country within a matter of days is remarkable.

Yes. Yes I would. I would rather have that than doctors who spend 10 minutes with each patient because they're just doing it to get rich, or people being unable to afford medicine they need to live, or families financially crippled for life because of an injury.

Aspirin cost 8 dollars in a hospital. Each.

[chiapet]

Randy, you realize that USPS is not truly a gov't agency, right? And Fire and Police are municipality based, not federal. I don't think our feds would run our health care like they run the FBI. Just my guess. :)

[RotationSlimWang]

Not truly a government agency? Do you ever think before you open your fucking yap? Maybe at least, like, think about the fact that you're kinda dumb and so maybe you should at least Wikipedia something before you try to make a point.

Gee, great retort pointing out that necessarily local agencies like police and fire departments aren't federally run. I guess that the NHS doesn't have any kind of hierarchy that feeds down from the nationwide to city-by-city level, right?

You're right though. The federal government never does much right. It's not like they, oh I dunno, landed on the moon or anything. Or developed nuclear technology. Or just managed to rescue the country from a plummet into a complete and total economic collapse.

[amyzzz]

:nono :nono :nono

Chia, I used Nuvaring, and it cleared up most of my acne for 2 years until I had to stop because the migraines got so bad.

[rskapcat]

I use the generic of Yasmin (NOT Yaz). Off birth control, my skin is acne-prone, and my hair is greasy. Aside from the one or two blemishes I get right around my period, my skin is clear on Yasmin. Oh, and I use Clinique for my face.

[allyjoy]

moon landing = pissing contest between kennedy & kruschev; 37 years since we've been on the moon and we've lost a couple of shuttles, some satellites and a mars probe.

Nuclear technology = old jew and french bitch

[bug on your lip]

i was going to start typing things that theGovernment has fukked up but i'm trying to keep this a carpal tunnel-free day

[chiapet]

^^^ yea and it's not with even responding to Randy because he's basically here to have a conversation with himself. I figure he can do that without me wasting my time in replies.


Becca, I used to use Yasmin, and kept having severe respiratory problems, over the course of 1.5 years, that went away like a week after I gave up on it. Very weird stuff. I kept going to the ER unable to breathe, they'd think I had blood clots but could not locate any, give me steroids, I'd get better, go home, and then the same thing would happen a month or two later. *shrug*

[amyzzz]

Blood clots are one of the possibly scary side effects with birth control.

[chiapet]

Yes -- I know 3 people who have had that happen, with no other risk factors besides BC. It's something I've been thinking about lately as I sit at a desk often for 10 hours a day without having many breaks to get up and move around.

I don't feel like I have other options though -- the risk is there with all hormonal birth control. Just condoms worries me a bit as I'm pretty serious in my desire to not have babies. I'm a little too young to be able to get doctor cooperation in permanently removing the possibility. :P

[BROKENDOLL]

*Yawn* Could you please take your advocating to The Boys Only Thread, please? That thread just reeks of boring so they'd go hand in hand...Thank You kindly.

[kitt kat]

birth control pills are expensive if you don't have insurance and don't go to planned parenthood.

All I know is that if I buy my pills at the hospital, they cost $60; if i do mail-order through Kaiser, they are $20. (For a four month supply.)


I find that generally my skin behaves unless I forget to take off makeup and wash my face before falling asleep (which I admit happens more frequently than it should). Or if I go off my birth control -- then a volcano erupts on my face.

Same with the makeup thing...But my face reacts more to my period coming. Other than that, no pimples.


who the fuck is chris?

My boyfriend; definitely not to be confused with suprefan in any way, shape, or form.


Hrmmm. Birth control pills give me acne (thankfully not too severely), may I ask what you gals use that is making your skin better? I hear some pills are better than others in that regard.

I use Yasmin; not only did it clear up my acne, but it also has made me lose a good 20 lbs. Same thing happened to my friend who was also put on it.

[chiapet]

Geez, I wish it had worked out for me. I wouldn't mind effortless weight loss. :)

I actually have very remarkably clear skin "normally", even when I was a teenager, so maybe I'm just being punished for all those years without trouble. Ever since I went back on bc I have had more or less constant zits in a couple of spots. It's just two zits. I'm not very vain about the actual zits. It's just that I think I'm going to end up with scars from from having acne in the same spot for like 9 months.

[miscorrections]

My skin's been pretty good lately. This is going to jinx me and I'll be a pizzaface by tomorrow.

[chairmenmeow47]

i really ever only break out around my mouth. but i also think i kinda drool in my sleep :x

i also don't break out a ton really, i just get one horribly placed bugger that takes forever to go away. do you ladies tend to get small breakouts by your jaw/ear area when you get the rag? i've met a few girls who have this and that's the only time i ever feel like i "break out", but the break out is never severe.

[miscorrections]

Chin pre-period. Gross. But I don't wear makeup that frequently so my skin is happy about that.

[chairmenmeow47]

i never wear make-up. i'm sure my face would be horrible if i did. i figure someday i might HAVE to wear makeup for work or whatever, but i'm trying to go as long as possible without having to. i suck at makeup and i hate the feeling of it on my face.

[chiapet]

Just by my mouth (chin really). Pretty consistently. The only time I get any acne elsewhere is by my brow but that is inevitably due to makeup. I'm lucky that I generally don't break out when I sleep in makeup but if I use really cake-y or sticky stuff on my eyes, I will end up getting a zit on my brow line. Which hurts like hell.

[chiapet]

I hated the feeling of makeup but have found better (or better for me) makeup that doesn't feel gross. I don't bother with it on a daily basis but at least now when I do put it on it's not distracting. Except lip stick. I am never going to be able to stand that stuff.

[chairmenmeow47]

see, i used to do a lot of theatre as a kid and had to wear greasepaint. the worst was in the king & i and we had to wear this bronzer every day. since then, i am just disgusted by the feeling of makeup. i've let people do my eyes before, but that's about it. i hope i never need foundation. i know regular makeup is better, but i've been tainted :p

[chiapet]

Me too! And oddly stage makeup never gave me acne. ;) I actually liked it a lot. It felt gross, but from a distance of at least a few feet, everyone's skin looks perfect. Even guys with like horrible cystic acne looked clear skinned.


But yea I feel your pain in general, and would not wear foundation. I use powder, occasionally use a little bit of concealer (though I have no skill for this and it usually does not conceal so much as paints a beacon on my face saying "Look what we have here"), eye shadow, mascara, brow wax/powder, lip gloss.

Things I cannot abide: foundation, heavy powders, blush, lip sticks, lip pencils, eye liner* (I actually really like eye liner when other people put it on me but it looks gross when I do it myself).

[chairmenmeow47]

god, blush. my mom constantly kept trying to push blush on me because she likes my cheekbones. i hate it. i also feel like i generally look like a streetwalker in makeup; it looks too severe and it's hard to get that "natural" look on me for some reason.

[locachica73]

I have to wear makeup because I have roasia (sp?)... redness of my cheeks. so i use make up to even out my skin so I don't look like I am constantly embarrassed. Luckily I have pretty healthy skin otherwise. I never had a big problem with acne, just the occasional blemish here and there.

[miscorrections]

I like bronzer instead of blush. But if you use blush, the brighter the better. When I wear makeup I generally emphasize eyes, though. And I am fucking good at doing it. In case anyone was wondering.

[chiapet]

I can not get bronzer nor blush to look proper. I also walk the streets with Ivy. I think my cheeks are already so red that blush is just not right.

[miscorrections]

Mine are peachy but sometimes. Just blow the excess off the brush before you apply.

i am jealous of people with the ability to do makeup and hair. i am truly awful at it.

[kitt kat]

i wear foundation, eyeliner, mascara and lipstick. 'tis all.

my sister looks like tammy faye baker status when she wears makeup. i'm talking golden eyeshadow up to the eyebrows. ewww

[chiapet]

I actually LOVE golden eyeshadow. It just has to be balanced with very neutral makeup otherwise. Eye makeup is something I can actually get into, if I wear gold shadow I do crazy eye makeup but only wear nude lip gloss and nothing more really.

[amyzzz]

I can't do my eyes well because my eyes are a bit droopy in the corners, so if I wear just a little too much or too dark eyeliner, I look freakish. But I usually don't wear makeup unless I go out, and sometimes not even then. When I did wear makeup in my earlier club days, I always tried to at least have nice dark red lipstick since I like my lips. Foundation just seems too fake for me, but with my skin, I probably need it. :/

I think if my eyes weren't so droopy maybe I would've tried harder and been better at it. I also dig the gold eyeshadow because it brightens up my hazelly blue eyes.

[chiapet]

Yea, I have slightly hazelly brown eyes, and gold and bronze makes them look less brown. I wear glasses usually so my makeup efforts are probably lost on everyone but me. :rolleyes

I like my lips and think I look good in lipstick but it just feels gross. Too thick. And I've never found one that doesn't dry my lips out, even the supposedly moist kinds.

[amyzzz]

Chia, I went to Sephora and got some of that glitter you recommended...twice! I'm trying out the silver glitter tonight if it doesn't look too bad.

[chiapet]

I am definitely bringing glitter to the roo :)

[rskapcat]

I wore foundation in high school because I had pretty bad skin. My skin calmed down in college, & I haven't worn foundation since my prom. Even wearing powder makes me want to claw my face. Hate it.
My "makeup" is either eyeliner or eyeshadow with mascara. Maybe some lip gloss.

[chiapet]

Wow, so people always recommend Aveeno and I've tried it once and it gave me hives and made my face swell. I could never figure out. I was looking at something else online tonight and just realized that it's made with peanut derivatives. (I am deathly allergic). Apparently it's in a ton of stuff. Guess that explains why so many lotions and beauty products don't work for me. :/

Estee Lauder lipstick. It's awesome and i have tried a multitude.

[miscorrections]

I like Laura Mercier.

[Pixiessp]

What do you all think of Prescriptives lipstick? The counter at Macy's whispers my name every time i walk by.

I was actually thinking of asking you if you were allergic to peanuts in the Bonnaroo thread, but I decided not to. Dang Chia. I guess I won't be bringing peanut butter in to Bonnaroo.

[locachica73]

I don't like the thickness of lipstick either so I usually just do a dark lip liner and a tinted lip gloss to blend it in. I use whipped foundation to balance out my skin, then the mineral powder & bronzer, then dark eyes. I have shit brown eyes so I usually play on that with some brown shadow and eyeliner.

Cetiphil is a good cream to use, it is hypoallergenic and recommended by dermatologists but tends to be quite expensive.

[allyjoy]

to cut down on the thick feeling of lipstick, but to keep the coverage, use a lip brush... they're maybe $8 at sephora. i personally love a lip brush because it makes putting on lipstick or lip gloss more precise.

[SFChrissy]

What do you all think of Prescriptives lipstick? The counter at Macy's whispers my name every time i walk by.I"m a gloss girl and love the tube lipglosses at the Origin's counter!!!

Amy and Chica...how was the show NINJA show??? I'm particularly curious of what you thought of the JA portion...

[samnco]

Any recommendations for inexpensive foundation to wear part time. I dont wear make up other than mascara every once in a while, but someimes i need some. I just dont want to spend a lot of money on something i rarely use. Also , i would recommend Bare Mineral's "bare vitamins" .. i love it!

[amyzzz]

Chrissy, check the NIN or Phoenix threads.

[chiapet]

Cetaphil is too drying for me. My skin is really picky, sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't wash it at all (with soap, I mean, just "wash" it with hot water). I use Shiseido products. They're spendy but my skin tolerates them.

I have yet to find any sort of night cream / anti-wrinkle lotion / etc that doesn't bother my skin, maybe I'll just be a very wrinkly old lady. ;)

Ally, I use a lip brush but the lipstick still bothers me. I think it's just that my lips are very dry so I guess I'll work on that first.

[allyjoy]

I lip balm before I put anything else on my lips. My skin is dry in general, so that's always been my trick.

[Wheres the beef?]

My lips have a natural softness that is unmatched by pharmaceutical/dermatological products.

[chiapet]

Figures, kind of like how most guys have seriously long thick lashes and we girls get to coat ours in shit to get the same effect.

Ally, I've tried that but it's probably a matter of patience in letting the balm absorb first. I end up with a weird gooey mess.

When I was younger I would wear makeup to hide flaws or to look older. Now that I'm older, makeup seems to accentuate any flaws and certainly doesn't help remove the years of suntanning, squinting, and partying. Up until afew months ago, I would wear a light foundation, bronzer, eyeliner, and mascara, thinking that was as light as I could go. One of the girls at work recommended the Bare Minerals line of makeup, and although it was pricier than I was used to, she claimed I'd be amazed with the stuff. I got the starter package for $60. (2 brushes, powder foundation, blush,translucent finishing powder.) I learned real fast that alittle goes a long way and the way the minerals work together produces a natural makeup free look yet provides a hint of natural color. You can sleep with it on without worrying about breakouts, and if your perspire, it doesn't run or clog up your pores like normal makeup. The girl at the counter even said it was healthy for your skin because it provided coverage to protect from the sun and shit in the atmosphere without adding more shit from the minerals. Seriously, it takes 5 minutes to look human now and seems to get better as the day goes on. How many other brands do that?

[kitt kat]

It's American Apparel, of course they're overpriced. Also, here's a hint: generally popular/successful stores that sell clothes have websites with prices. FANCY THAT!

are you a straight up cunt to everyone or just me? Its funny how the other women had no problem revealing her price, but you just apparently have a need to be a bitch.

Gonna wear it with my studded heels, I just have to find a time to go out somewhere.
Speaking of heels, peep my new pair:

Oh, my, my...Why go to the zoo to see animals? If you wear that the animals will come to you!:thu


...
Do you even bother to read? This isn't a picture book, it's a message board. (Ahem) Actually it was a picture book afew minutes ago while I searched for those damn shoes. Then again, the message those shoes send out is "Lady, or not...I can kick your ass if I want to!"


ok well can you answer my second question instead of being a bitch to an obvious compliment?
Ruh-roh! I hear the faint sound of heels clicking together...:rolleyes

[hawkingvsreeve]

...?

samnco is on a roll today.



So amazed by talented people this weekend. I heard the voice of an angel and saw the guy basically come up with a song in about 30 mins... it was so awesome!


Maybe if you told us what the hell you were talking about, we'd know what the hell you were talking about.

and then in PMs

[amyzzz]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but thanks for that nonsensical distraction, BD.

[sames44]

She's a straight up a cunt to everyone

I'm still somewhat disturbed by this - unless there is an extraneous "a"?

[TommyboyUNM]

It's pretty hard to take someone seriously when they ask for an answer that is emblazoned onscreen in front of them. As stated, this is a message board. Your posts are all you have to show that you're not a moron. Proofreading a little bit should be standard.


I'm not sure if "onscreen" should be one word or two. You're much smarter than I am, so I'll just accept it.

Sam, you just keep digging yourself a deeper hole.

[amyzzz]

Just take out either "a" and you'll be fine, same44. heh. oops.

[hawkingvsreeve]

At this point she is a licensed backhoe operator.

[BROKENDOLL]

are you a straight up cunt to everyone or just me? Its funny how the other women had no problem revealing her price, but you just apparently have a need to be a bitch. Just because stores are popular and successful doesnt mean they cant have summer sales or some items that arent overpriced. Next time take a compliment instead of causing a problem. Jesus Christ.. you play the internet bitch role pretty well.. im off work, try and get a life while im gone :)
Well, allrighty then...I don't think the question is whether or not miscorrections is a straight up cunt, she's actually pretty flexible for a cunt. The real question is, "Can you handle it without coming off as a twat?"

[amyzzz]

I'm perplexed by the smiley at the end of Sam's diatribe there. Sarcastic smiley or....? I don't like people using smileys sarcastically.

[BROKENDOLL]

Experience and wisdom friends...I'm just full of it!

[BROKENDOLL]

It should probably be hyphenated, but it seems colloquially acceptable in my mind. I probably wouldn't fault you for looking into it and calling me out, if it's important to you. I will happily fault you for the eyelash-batting false martyr crap, though. Rest assured.

I'm either way about it at this point. I'll let you know. Proceed...

Golden.

[miscorrections]

I'm bored again.

[Young blood]

I could post all the pm's I have received.

[amyzzz]

I think there is a thread for weird PM's. Somewhere outside of this thread....

[Young blood]

Oh, we are finally following social graces now zzz?

[TomAz]

Are you always a straight up cunt, Young blood?

[sames44]

Or just straight up one?

[Young blood]

GET OUT OF HERE TOM!

I appreciate you seeing that as a nonsensical distraction, Amyzzz, but truthfully, what moron posts two versions of the same thing minutes apart without realizing it? :rolleyes Can I just say I really, really like that outfit?

Experience and wisdom friends...I'm just full of it! Watch this...


I dont really need to argue with girls who think they are badass over the internet.. off to the real world, have a good night. Try not to freak the fuck out next time your asks a question. How hard is it to say... like i said i got them ***** and if you would like to see prices , why dont you check out the site?
Maybe round 3 youll be a little nicer. my guess is not.
samnco, unless you plan on missing work right now, you'll be missing round 3. You see, catfights don't acknowledge work schedules. By the time you return tonight after work, you're liable to find 3-4 more pages of cunts here waiting for you arrival.

[chiapet]

Geezus. Some girls thread this is. I leave my computer for a few hours and it turns into a cat fight, mostly egged on by boys.

Look, just to get this thread back on track, I went out and bought shoes.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41KXGjqKavL._AA280_.jpg

I can't find pictures of the other ones, they are kind of ugly but so comfortable.

I may have also bought an enormous amount of slutty underthings. And like $50 worth of glitter and ribbons.

[chiapet]

Oh and I tried on a hulu girl outfit. But I decided I had no reason to buy that... probably.

[BROKENDOLL]

All this cunt talk combined with youngblood's input has me spotting. How 'bout it girls? Anyone else deal with spotting?





Don't let the shoes boot you on the way out, boys!

[amyzzz]

Anyone have a good recommendation for bike shorts/boxer-type shorts to wear under a dress? (for Bonnaroo).

[chiapet]

Amy, I just buy boxers, usually just plain white ones. Though it took a couple of tries to get the right size since they're measured by waist and not hips.

P.S. I'm at work right now. Hooray, science. It goes so well with webfighting.

Those are cute! Also I wholeheartedly support slutty underthings. I haven't bought any in a while, but maybe with my first real paycheck I will.

Get the neon ones from American Apparel! Or the shiny ones. If I had good legs I would wear nothing but those because they're so trashy and disgusting and glorious.

[SFChrissy]

Try some cotton boxer briefs and roll the elastic waistband down

http://www.webundies.com/images/ea85n132.jpg

[amyzzz]

Sounds bulky.

[SFChrissy]

maybe if you buy little boys size it won't be bulky. I said roll the waist band down cause I don't like things around my waist only my hips it comes down to your preference.

[SFChrissy]

http://i.americanapparel.net/storefront/images/detail/serve.asp?media=RNT42_FluorescentGreen.jpg

That looks awful...

[Courtney]

The shiny ones are so fabulous but kind of look like they might not breathe so well because of all the synthetic. Although I guess if you're wearing AA lame shorts, maybe breatheability isn't your primary concern.

[amyzzz]

Something snug, cotton, and comfy I guess. I have these velvet hot pants I wore under a tunic to a show a week ago and my god those are comfy. The only problem is the shorts have horrific belt loops (yay 90's).

[miscorrections]

The middle picture is the AA cotton/spandex blend. I have leggings in that fabric and they are really comfortable, not sweaty or weird at all.

[amyzzz]

Thanks. I will look into that.

[chiapet]

Weird, they looked more synthetic in the picture. I used to swear by cotton/spandex blend exercise shorts. I wore them with everything. But now I don't really like fabric against my skin in hot weather. I like boxers because they're loose but not so flappy that I'm showing anything if I sit down with my knees up or something. I'm not very modest, so it helps a lot


This is an odd picture but I wanted to show you that I AM IN LOVE with this body paint I picked up today. The silver. Love it.

Erhm. I need to get out of the glitter.

I think I'm being unrealistic that this would stay intact at Bonnaroo.

[miscorrections]

Heidi, I love that glitter. It looks amazing.

[hawkingvsreeve]

Looks like someone plured all over your face.

[chiapet]

That's what I was going for. It's awesome-r in person. My iphone camera HATES neon.

So what do I do to get the glitter to stay on in humidity and heat? I'm sure the eye makeup will stay put.

[allyjoy]

that is fucking awesome!!!! :thu :thu !

as for the question about what to wear under the dress... the answer is always boxer briefs. if you're near an H&M i say buy a pack of theirs. (I swear it's the most comfy thing to prevent chafing in the entire world)

[miscorrections]

Vaseline, maybe, to keep the glitter on? It feels icky, though.

[allyjoy]

vaseline in a hot & humid wilderness... that sounds like a break-out disaster.

[chiapet]

Yea maybe. I tried lotion and it only works until it dries. Plus it looks kind of...

[Courtney]

Chia that's awesome.

Your skin will hate you for it, but I find that using a really hardcore makeup primer like Smashbox Photo Finish will keep your pores from sweating and thus everything stays put.

nb, I recently heard that Monistat Soothing Care Chafing Gel actually makes a phenomenal and super cheap facial primer, but I have not actually tried it

[chiapet]

I used the Urban Decay eye primer for this, and it has held up at Coachella and at clubs. I just can't figure out how to get the large glitter to stay on. Primer didn't really work - if touched even lightly, it flakes off. I think that dancing, I'd end up with it all over the place and probably in my eyes.

Fortunately, if I only wear eye makeup, my skin does not complain. (I can't imagine trying to wear foundation or powder in humidity anyway). I really only wear eye makeup and gloss anyway and am terrible about taking it off at night. I only run into problems if I've just waxed brows that day.

[chiapet]

I know I already rambled about it once but I have to reiterate how incredible this body paint is. Kryolan brand, I tried the metallic liquid body paint. It is spreadable when you put it on (so you can go completely opaque or do a thin layer), dries very quickly, and washed off very easy with a little soap.

It feels absolutely incredible on. I've never had body paint that didn't feel slightly sticky, or like my skin could not breathe.

I totally want to go back and get more colors now and walk around with my arms all painted up or something.

[allyjoy]

1. have you tried spirit gum for the glitter? the stuff they use for theater makeup, not the kind you chew.

2. where do i find this body paint & glitter?

[samnco]

I did not leave for work yesterday, I was already there. I have a lot of down time at work. I dont hang out here in my free time, I have a life to live. Anyways, what I say wont matter, right or wrong I will be picked apart. The thing is it doesnt really matter, I come here to pass time not to be most popular. That would be kind of sad really. Anyways have a good day everyone.

[rskapcat]

The massage ladies are coming to my work tomorrow, & my bosses approved me going to a 9/80 schedule (80 hours in 9 days instead of 10...off every other Friday). It's a good day. :)

[miscorrections]

I did not leave for work yesterday, I was already there. I have a lot of down time at work. I dont hang out here in my free time, I have a life to live.

Because the rest of us totally wake up in the morning and say, "What can I do with my day today? I think I'll go hang out at work for longer than I need to!"

I was stating the obvious, I will not hang around work to fight with some girl I don't know on a message board. I'm not doing this right now either. I stayed out way late last night and am just not feeling it. I like your dresses from yesterday though, I like your taste. Have a good day.

hahaha I knew there had to be segueway somewhere between my shorts question and chia's glitter!

[chiapet]

Courtney, somehow I completely overlooked the Monistat comment. :D


1. have you tried spirit gum for the glitter? the stuff they use for theater makeup, not the kind you chew.

2. where do i find this body paint & glitter?


Well, I think the first step is a visit to Sf. ;)

The body paint and neon/UV reactive makeup are Kryolan:
http://www.kryolan.com/en/index.php

They have a store in SF, but their stuff is sold in various places... occasionally high end costuming or craft stores, theater/dance supply stores, some on the internet (I find stuff occasionally on eBay and have never been disappointed).

I can't rave about it enough, it's professional theater grade makeup and feels really nice on skin compared to any costume or theater makeup I've ever tried.

[chiapet]

Okay so I'm glad I tried this out at home first, the unexpected result of the big glitter flakes was that the lotion lifted the dyes from them and I had pink stains that came off only after some scrubbing with alcohol.

Any idea where to find larger makeup grade glitter/sequins? I've only found really fine (small) glitter for makeup use.

[Hannahrain]

It was a weird career move on their part to pick a name for their paint that is so close to Krylon.

[chiapet]

I think both companies are fairly old (50+ years), Kryolan is German, and I'm sure companies back then didn't consider that they should (nor easily could) research to see if brand names already exist.

damn it i'm starting to go nuts...

BTW...Chia, the glitter face art looks lovely!!!

look, this place says to use glustick when the adhesive wheres off...

http://www.easycart.net/ecarts/BodyArtSupply/Crystal_and_Bindi_Body_Jewels.html

[chiapet]

Honestly the glitter + makeup looked SO much better in person. It's not working out well on camera. The only problem was the pink stains all over my face after just 3 hours of wearing it. :)

[chairmenmeow47]

did you do the glitter at bonaroo?

my mom took me birthday shopping this weekend (horrible pics by my camera phone):

this is a new tee-shirt, something "zoo" is the brand. i got it at nordstroms:

http://www.hardcoredreamer.com/gallery/d/790009-1/0613091944.jpg

here are some new DKNY sandals. these were expensive, but less expensive on sale & with my mom's discount. hard to tell, but very nice leather:

http://www.hardcoredreamer.com/gallery/d/790011-1/0613091949b.jpg

[samnco]

chairmenmeow47 , my camera takes awful fucking pics too ...
but i got my lip pierced this weekend.. in two weeks it will be a pretty little stud but the temp one isnt that bad.. My first piercing besides my ears :)


http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i235/sambonboo/1245079164-1.jpg

[SFChrissy]

My first piercing was my hood back in 91...I was taking the train to work and boy was it sheer pleasure!!!

[chiapet]

Ahahah oh Chrissy.

Shopping! I did too much in Nashville. I had to ship stuff back to myself. :eek:


And because I'm a bad influence:

http://www.katespade.com/samplesale/login.jsp?EDID=KYCNKH-VHN1-TLNQ1-C4W59-FJ2Y-v1

20% off clearance stuff (I just got an awesome bag for like 65% off).

[sames44]

Ouch, real bad influence, chia! I'm trying to decide between 2 bags now.

[chiapet]

I had to talk myself down from two. I ended up with this:

http://ksp.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pKSLCI1-5246703reg.jpg

[sames44]

I went with the bigger of the 2 I was considering...I justified it as "the discount is better..." ha. Thanks!

[SFChrissy]

im too broke to shop...

[BROKENDOLL]

im too broke to shop...
Go for a train ride then! LOL Oh, BTW...samnco, I bit my tongue when I saw your lip piercing pic. Just want you to know that! :)

[BROKENDOLL]

Uhh, Chrissy, question here...About that hood piercing. That had to hurt, no? And, benefits? More feeling, less feeling, barely have to touch feeling?:eek: I remember Pete's daughter coming to me afew years ago asking about getting her nipples pierced. (At 17) Then she asked what I thought about getting a hood piercing...All I could do was look out at my Vette and ask what that had to do with her nipples! (Talk about dating myself, huh?) LOL

[samnco]

ha.. it hurt for sure :) And im going to have a hole for forever!

[bug on your lip]

that's what she said

[BROKENDOLL]

ha.. it hurt for sure :) And im going to have a hole for forever!
I was thinking about that. Like in 20 years you may not want your lip pierced and when you go to drink something it will be running down your chin...

[samnco]

bahhahah ... never thought of that.. in 20 ill let ya know how it goes. My friend had her lip pierced and her monroe and she took them both out.. she doesnt wear any makeup and you can barely see the holes.

[psychic friend]

I wonder if/when I take my tongue ring out if that will ever heal.

[chairmenmeow47]

what gague?

[allyjoy]

My first piercing was my hood back in 91...I was taking the train to work and boy was it sheer pleasure!!!

+5!

edit: tongue ring might actually heal. depending on the amount of blood supply to the body part, it changes the healing time frame.

[psychic friend]

I dont know what gauge.. whatever it comes with when you get it done. I have had it about 9 years.

[chairmenmeow47]

ah, the only reason i asked is the only person i heard of that had real problems with their tongue healing had an insane gague.

[allyjoy]

should be a 14 or 16 gauge... but 9 years is a long time. i don't think it will heal.

[Wheres the beef?]

My first piercing was my hood back in 91...I was taking the train to work and boy was it sheer pleasure!!!

LOLThe actual piercing didn't hurt but i did do a lot of deep breathing so that probably took the edge off. I had a little one of these
http://www.bodyjewelry.co.kr/image2.gif
As for feeling, it was very sensative initially, it was like a tuning fork...it picked up all sorts of vibrations, train rides, motor cycle rides, taking a break sitting on clup speakers. I've seen a few that look prety gnarly and hard core but it was small and petite and was a bit on the cute side...interesting surprise for someguys...only actually had one that it freaked out but he was a prude anyways...I had it for 8 years and for the most part it became decorative because it had desensatized me to a degree...


I wonder if/when I take my tongue ring out if that will ever heal.it will heal...you may have scar tissue but the hole will close...I like tongue rings but I fucking hate I have permanent gum damage from it...my tongue doesn't look like it's ever been pierced...

[chairmenmeow47]

you're crazy, chrissy, CRAZY!!!!!!!1 my fun factory says no way!!!!!

[psychic friend]

it will heal...you may have scar tissue but the hole will close...I like tongue rings but I fucking hate I have permanent gum damage from it...my tongue doesn't look like it's ever been pierced...

how does the gum damage happen? So far my dentist has not said I have any damage as a result of the ring but he did express his hatred for them.

[SFChrissy]

how does the gum damage happen? So far my dentist has not said I have any damage as a result of the ring but he did express his hatred for them.either from when I would sleep or while talking the underside would graze along the back of my front teeth which resulted in seperation of my gum from the tooth. My dentist says I'm at risk of loosing the tooth which would suck and I"m praying and keeping all my fingers crossed that doesn't happen but we are keeping a watch on it...approx $6000 repair...unfortunately my current employer doesn't have dental ins so I"m sitting tight for a bit...

you aren't the first to make that accusation :p

[allyjoy]

how painful was the hood piercing? I had my nipples pierced and that wasn't bad, but a piercing downstairs just seems dreadful.

[chiapet]

The nipple piercing is intriguing, but wouldn't you have to wear padded bras all the time to keep them from showing? (Like at work and such).

[allyjoy]

considering all of my bras are and were industrial strength, it was rare that anyone could see any indentations. And I had barbells which are less noticeable. I took them out almost a year ago... I kind of miss them.

[chiapet]

Hrm. I don't usually wear padded bras, as they make me look like I have aging-porn-star boobs. :/ I guess I don't usually wear really tight shirts to work either though.

[allyjoy]

fredericks of hollywood is the only place i can find bras in my size and they tend to have a thicker fabric, not really padded

[chiapet]

Really, ally? I haven't had good luck with Frederick's. I've been buying mostly from Nordstrom, they carry several brands which have slinkier bras in D thru F cups. They have more substantial straps of course but aren't really thick fabrics.


My Bonnaroo-burn is starting to fade into a tan, which wasn't working well with my red + washed out pink so I decided to dye my hair dark brown today. And I'm using that as an excuse to go buy different makeup tomorrow. ;)

[allyjoy]

yeah... i tend to stay out of nordstrom's, but i will have to check them out.

[amyzzz]

So I find myself obsessed with searching for the perfect fairy costume, and and I found these:

I'ts too bad the seller wants $500.

[allyjoy]

i think the green one would suit you very well! maybe you can just buy a bodice and sew the skirt.

sidenote: on the bra thing, i did go to nordstrom's... they wanted almost $100 per bra. the cheapest in my size was $70. what the fuck?

[RotationSlimWang]

Do you realize how many animals have to die to make one of your bras, Ally?

[chiapet]

[QUOTE=allyjoy;1268523]maybe you can just buy a bodice and sew the skirt/QUOTE]

^^ yes. So the bustier part is the most expensive - you'd get that part at fredericks or similar. Sometimes they go on sale for $20-40ish (normally would be more like $60-80).

The skirt part is just scraps of fabric. Probably less than $10 total. And hit a craft shop for the leaves or flower pieces. Probably another $5-10. Long feathers might be a little harder to find. But with some really simple sewing (or glue gun) and about $40-75 you could make this easily.


And ally, what I do is try them on at Nordstrom and then order them online whenever they go on sale various places. http://www.bravissimo.com/ is UK but the exchange rates are OK right now and some times they have great sales.

[miscorrections]

Charlotte Russe (sigh) frequently sells "corsets" for cheap because they are cheap.

[chiapet]

They do, but the Fredericks ones, while being cheap and not really "corsets", actually hold up pretty well. I have had some that I wore pretty often for like 4-5 years, which is more than I'd expect from them.

Here are the sorts that I had in mind for the costumes amy posted:

http://www.fredericks.com/Renaissance_Corset/50640,default,pd.html?cgid=co1#
http://www.fredericks.com/Hollywood_Dream_Corset/51786,default,pd.html?cgid=co1
http://www.fredericks.com/Hollywood_Dream_Halter_Corset/56451,default,pd.html?cgid=co1


All of the above are styles they always have, so they have sales where they are about 1/2 off a few times a year.

[chairmenmeow47]

i love frederick's corsets, i have like 3 of them.

and amy, just make that shit. those are ivy leaves you can buy at michaels. the corset would be like $60.

[elliemchale]

Me gusta both of them. They rock.

[amyzzz]

I have a frederick's corset already (in black). I don't like it much. To be honest, I really don't have the figure for a corset, at least not the one I got. I think I was still breastfeeding when I bought it.

[chairmenmeow47]

ha ha ha, so i went to go sign the lease on my new apartment & drop some stuff off. i opened the door and saw a nice, vacuumed open space. immediately when i see an open space, i think cartwheel. so i dropped my bags to do a cartwheel and totally ripped the back of my skirt. it is now clipped together with those black pinch clips as i used all my safety pins on my ringmaster jacket.

[amyzzz]

That's cute. And funny.

[allyjoy]

:thu cartwheels!

[Still-ill]

http://grza.net/GIS/Hay%20Guys.jpg

[chiapet]

Hahaha Ivy. I can actually picture that.

I knew I was getting old when suddenly I was afraid to do cartwheels because I might hurt something.

[allyjoy]

you're NEVER too old to do cartwheels, just find some soft grass. i did some friday night. it made me happy.

[chiapet]

I'm really scared of it for some reason. It would probably take mats to convince me to try. I know cartwheels aren't particularly traumatic but I fractured my wrist the last time I did any gymnastics type things and now the idea of it makes me wince.

[locachica73]

I AM TOO OLD FOR CARTWHEELS. :)

But Ally is not, I seen her do like 4 in a row last Friday. :pulse:pulse

[chairmenmeow47]

holla, we're doing cartwheels next time i see you :thu

thankfully our admin was nice enough to find me some safety pins from someone, i feel like SUCH a tard, lol.

the new place is quite lovely though :)

[locachica73]

I was never able to do cartwheels even as a kid. My big ass has always been an issue, even then. I don't do spins on the monkey bars either. I was more of a tonka truck kinda girl. :)

QFT
I think the last time I did a cartwheel, I realized my legs aren't flexible enough to go that wide. Ouch.

[chiapet]

See, I don't think I spread my legs that wide when doing one (so it doesn't really look like a cart wheel). I mostly relied on arm strength, which I am lacking in relative to my body weight now. It was easier when I was a teenager. :)

[chairmenmeow47]

when i was young, i was a gymnast. one summer they had a massive sleepover with EVERYONE and had all sorts of contests & games. i won the carwheel contest, 512 cartwheels in 5 minutes. bitches ain't shit.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d52/sethandmeribah/Untitled-1-1.gif

[chiapet]

I was never very good at gymnastics, at least tumbling. I was always afraid of falling on my head.

We never had cartwheel contests. I do remember having contests on bars to see who could flip the most, not the most in a minute but longest, without stopping or getting dizzy. Heh.

And for some reason in HS we had a jump contest, who could do the most toetouches in a row (we let people do a prep between each, like a banana jump). That sounds like it would be short lived, maybe 2 or 3 at most, but we were insane. Anyway, I got really good at them and could do one after another, for like 10 minutes or however long it took me to run out of energy. Stopped needing to prep at all. (Could do a perfect jump from standing legs straight).

That is how I tore my patellar tendon. :P

[miscorrections]

I can't do cartwheels. I'm sure I probably could if I felt like hurling myself at the ground but I've never been very coordinated and it seems like a bad idea. The only gymnastics things I was ever good at were the vault and the balance beam.

[Astrid]

the only thing i was good at in gymnastics was bouncing on the trampoline with my gorgeous instructor and then jumping into the foam pit!

oh, also, leotards. i kicked ass at having snazzy leotards.

[chiapet]

I had pretty much the most awesome leotard ever created. It was black and white check, with panels of blindingly bright pink. And had a bunch of zippers. And a pair of matching spandex shorts. Oh, the 80s.

[amyzzz]

The foot doctor says I should enroll my daughter into gymnastics to help her gain strength in her feet/legs. She has flat feet which causes her to walk with her feet pointed inward. We just got her some shoe inserts today to help with her walking.

Heidi, I bet you looked fierce. My gymnastics getup wasn't nearly as awesome. I think my ballet practice leotard spilled over to gymnastics...

I was an overly active child. Oy.

[amyzzz]

Are you trying to rack up posts so we'll let you in the house? :)

[BROKENDOLL]

Oh, Jen...Don't know why I couldn't get these pics to show in the Girls Only Group, so I guess everyone gets to see the dress I got for that special day...Not that I have a special day, I just have a weakness for great deals! :rolleyes The supervisor I used to work with was an estate sale fanatic and would find items like this to resell in his resale shop. Apparently on the way to work one day he stopped and found this complete wedding ensemble and had it hanging in his office. He wanted to see exactly what shape it was in and I got the opportunity to model it...which gave him the opportunity to make an instant sale. It's 2 pieces and the top alone was too cool to pass up. Add the fact that the skirt was actually long enough for me, (I'm 5'10") and cha-ching, $120 for the whole thing! (Skirt, Top, V-shaped sash, garter, and veil.) Not bad for someone content with being a spinster, huh? LOL

5'10!!!!! How the hell could I not find you for the meetup?

Nope, I'm just bored!
And, I just asked Mark if I could be one of his guests if he decides to stay.
Although, it would be nice if you let me stay! I promise, I'm nice!

[BROKENDOLL]

Was this before or after you let everyone know you were an ex of Tommy's?

[chairmenmeow47]

last night i let this girl braid my hair & i fell asleep with the braids in. when i woke up & took out the braids, my hair was so pretty!!!! i need someone to do that for me again. if i could go more than a day without washing my hair, i would have left it that way. sometimes i wish i was more girly & could style hair.

[miscorrections]

You can't braid hair? Basic braids are supremely easy.

[captncrzy]

I've tried to do that to my hair in the past; it always ends up a frizzy mess.

[chairmenmeow47]

i can do a basic braid. mein turn out rather thick though. she did one of those braids where it's like attached on your head at either side. i know that sounds really retarded since all hair is attached to your head, but there are basic braids and then there are the kinds that seem to be tighter in your hair. perhaps those are french braids? i don't know, but it was a MUCH more professional braid than i could ever pull off. she did those kinds and even braided it ALL the way to the end, which i can never do.

[miscorrections]

Yeah, French braids. Those are pretty doable too, though - you just start out one section at the top and then add to the initial strands with the rest of your hair as you braid down. When my hair was a bit longer I'd pseudo-French braid the hair above my bangs to make a sort of headband.

[amyzzz]

That's a french braid, Ivy. I can do french braids and dutch braids now (dutch is in reverse). I want to learn how to do a crown french or dutch braid that goes around the head in a circle and a 5 strand braid next (I bought a DVD for this).

word, thanks ladies! i may need to borrow that video. i don't do well with text instructions for hair, lol.

that crown braid is preeeeeetty. i want one!

[amyzzz]

haha, yeah, that's why I bought the DVD instead of the book.

[SFChrissy]

I've known how to french braid since i was in 3rd grade. 'bout 5 yrs ago I finally learned how to french braid my own hair...

I know how to fishbone but only the pony tail part against the head looks like 4 strans...I don't think I have the coordination...

[amyzzz]

I can do the fishbone/herring bone/whatever you want to call it too. And I also taught myself how to do a french braid years ago. The problem is, my long hair is layered now because it looks better on me when my hair is down, but it's hard to braid it all up this way--it pokes out.
