Why do some of those winter stocking caps have that really long floppy thing?

does it actually serve a purpose? some of them are like 3 feet long.



I just bought one this year. The long floppy things help keep the hat on but don't need to be 2 feet long.


I live in Northern Maine and work officiating dog sled races....... you want a hat that stays on and stays warm...... looks are not important!




its so dorks can look even more dorkier than they already are




for people with pointy heads, duhhh.

Ideas for a victorias secret pink/paris theme room?

so im getting my room redone but its a VS pink theme with a french/paris twist to it. like white with pink polkadot walls and posters of the eiffel tower and france. im open to any ideas as long as their relatively affordable and fit the whole theme. Thanks!!



woah this is the most adorable thing i have ever heard ever. i think you should like clash things with VS and the eiffel tower, and it would be amazing. no other colors but pink and white would work




u should find a bed headbord thing that is in the shape of the eiffle tower, like with metal and all.




if youre good at painting or know someone who is...try painting a pink eiffel tower on your wall




omg that is soooo kwl! so i wud ask the store to buy the dog.. hahah





maybe not the best advice....





hope that helped!
what does hyped mean?



when somebody like your look.


they click on the hype button


it give you karma on your looks and shows how many people liked your look,


but you don't get a lot of hype at the start, i'm sitting on an average of 2-3 per look.

How much do you spend on clothes and cosmetics a month?

say 100 dollars............not more

If we somehow randomly ended up in each others clothes what would i be wearing?

You'd be wearing jeans not to baggy or skinny just right a bluish green T-Shirt that says born to rock a grey zipper hoodie blue plaid boxers and grey sox



LOL this is funny... White hooters sleep shorts and a black babydoll shirt and victorias secret pink undies with puppies on them.. Im still in bed lol




purple t-shirt that says i love terranova, a colorful hoodie, skinny, torn jeans, black stockings:)




Fluffy socks, navy t-party pants (they're tight yoga pants), an I Love NY tee shirt and a raggety sweater. ^_^ Comfy clothesss




jeans with a green paint stain and a llellow sweatshirt.





i dont get y u wud ask such a random question.

Anyone in the UK? Where can I buy a dress online?

It's for a 21st birthday party (I am 21 too), dress code is smart - so evening/cocktail/party dresses but not ball dresses or anything. I've looked at all the following websites but can't find anything I like - any more suggestions that I've not thought of? Nothing designer - budget is about 75!


Topshop


Warehouse


ASOS


Oasis


River Island


Jane Norman


Next


Dorothy Perkins


Debenhams


Not interested in Ebay or any catalogue sites as these generally have slow delivery.


Any other suggestions?



i've been looking for a dress recently and there are website's like lipsy, motelrocks, and rare which i think have really cute stuff. lipsy is stocked in some shops too so if you use their store locator you can find ones near you so go try it on before you buy.

Where can you buy clothing similiar to lady gaga?

..



Doesnt she make her own?




Fredrick's of Hollywood !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




At a sex shop....she doesn't really wear clothes she wears sex outfits

Hoop earings..out of fashion??or pretty?

i love silver or diamond hoop earings.but yea i wantd to know what every1 else thought about them



I love hoops


I mostly wear hoops :]


pretttty big oness




HOOP EARRINGS will NEVER go out of style, I think :)





It's very much "in" right now. I never thought people saw them as slutty either...until I suggested my friend wear mine with this one dress she wanted to wear to the club, and she looked at me and said "ew, they're trashy!" I was STUNNED. Guess what? She owns hoop earrings now...




i love big hoops , especially if my hair is up in a ponytail - it instantly makes me look more polished. I dont like them too big though .I want a pair of white gold or silver ones with diamonds . I think it just depends on your personal style .




I think small ones sometimes look okay, like the size of a quarter, but most (I say most because there are always exceptions) bigger than that look bad to me. Not sure why, but I don't think they're attractive.




lol...they are still in fashion but it depends even if one celebrity wears it and comes in any ceremony they will once again rock the market....




If they are small they look good, like 2cm. Any bigger and they look ghetto. I don't find them slutty, if they worn with something tasteful anyway..




please be joking... they are totally slutty





i mean if you're a fat black chick I say go for it


have your name in the middle too


the works.




I LOVE HOOPS....WEAR THEM ALL THE TIME.......DONT GET DIAMOND HOOPS....JUST SILVER.......




Not trying to be rude..


When I see hoop earrings i think slut





lmao




wear what you feel is pretty




euuww, they are soooo ugly, don't weat them, please!




if they look good wear them


x

Where did Sara from BIG BROTHER 9 get her jumper from?

Its Grey and has pink lips on it!





I Reaaaaaaaally want one!





Thanx x



You can get them from Oxford Street.

Does anyone have a Le Sac dress from American Apparel?

How do you like it and is it easy to work with? I basically have ZERO talent in styling that type of stuff haha :D



it really was a bad purchase for me. aa doesn't have quality clothes.

Can I wear skinny jeans with my body type?

I've nevery actually tried on skinny jeans. But i dont know if they'll work. I'm 5 foot.. so i'm short. with shooort legs. but they are very built. I've got stocky legs. because i'm and athlete. so i feel like it will just make me look fat! what brand of skinny jeans should i try?? ive got these awesome new kicks i wanna buy but need to wear skinny jeans with em... plus some winter boots i need them for.





what is a brand i could wear with out looking like an oompa loompa or something?? thanks!!



Well, I can't tell you for sure without a picture, but from what you're telling me, it seems like you would look nice in skinny jeans.




Just try some of the Venice skinnies from PacSun.


They're basically just a generic skinny jean.


They'll probably look great on you.





And if you want, you can try their even skinnier fit, Hermosa super skinny.


Or even skinnier yet is the Solana extreme skinny.




Abercrombie has the cutest jeans.




ture religions.


theyre skinny jeans work with any body type.


but assuming those are a bit spendy id say trip jeans form ht




omg i never wore them until now they fit great and im 5'0 too and they fit so nice they made me look 10 pounds lighter




i know fat people that wear them, so i dont see why you couldnt.




hey EVERYONE can rock skinny jeans




yes!! your an athlete so you have big calfs,,youll look smokin!!!

What size shirt should i get.?

hey i dont want it to look to baggy or to tight and i mean i want it to look good around my biceps like around them and i meant in small medium or large.



medium. you can button the shirt back to the elbow so you can still see your biceps..that doesnt rly make sense but in a way it does too. like a preview almost. and i dont think guys have to worry about baggy clothes! so no worries in that case!

Earring[:

can you use a belly ring as an earring?


can you use a nose ring as an earring?


can you use a tongue ring as an earring?





just curious o;



omg !! noo!!





that would killl!! my belly ring is so much thicker than my earings, so is a tongue ring.




belly and tongue rings are way too thick and a nose ring is too small




is your ear gouged? if fo,yes yes and yesO.o

Should I keep my Coach Wallet?

A old friend from Bulgaria has recently reconnected with me through facebook and we had our first long conversation in over a year. We spoke mostly about the recent death of his parents and his new living situation. He has moved in with a brother and is living in extreme poverty. He has had to make the descion between keeping his phone or getting the internet and he choose the internet. His health has aso begun to deteriate and he now weights 88 pounds and he 17 years old.





I recently purchase a $150 Coach Wallet from the Coach Store in the Scottsdale Fashion Square and I feel guilty spending that kind of money on something that is only a material possesion when I know people who are struggling to survive. I already have a $250 Burberry wallet so I don't exactly need a new Wallet. Even though I work and my mother has a great job do you think its justifiable to spend extravagantly on a material possesion?



ouch. Tough question! First of all let me say, the fact that you are asking means you have a big heart. With that being said, you do have the right to spend your money however you like. You did earn it and hopefully that means you'll appreciate it.





However, because of your recent reconnection with an old friend, maybe now you realize on a personal level that things can change at the drop of a hat--and not necessarily for the better.You now have the insight to be more careful about what you spend in the future, and you shouldn't feel guilty for learning this lesson.





Your decision to keep or return your new wallet is your own. I hope I helped you out a little




yes i love my coach bags, wallets, wristlets and watches. so yes i think it is suitable, not to mention my louis vuitton wallet, and two handbags, and coin purse. it is definitely worth it. how does someone in poverty afford the internet? that doesnt make sense. how does he have a computer? hes lying. have you actually seen him. did he take pics and show u? he could be making this all up to get ur pity. dont be gullable : ]

End the Debate! Do you like the smell of AXE or not?

debate!



no, it gets old and smells too strong.


guys who wear that must have a bed odor problem :P


or they think girls think it's sexy....aha




Axe just reminds me of middle school boys, so I don't find it attractive at all. I hate the smell, also.




I personally love the smell of axe. But I wouldn't be all over a guy just because he is wearing it.




Nope. Its pugnant. It stings the nostrils.




Ehh, i don't particularly like it, its alright I guess.




no.




yes of course. it smells sexy

Girls? what kind of shirt is this?

i'll do my best to explain it!





a long U shapes top of shirt (like this sideways ) )





then it has , like, and elastic band around the bellybutton (haha)


THE SHIRT ENDS AT THE ELASTIC





its not tight, it kind of poofs out.





you have to wear a shirt under it!





i'm sorry,





if you have ANY idea what i am talking about, can youtell me what ist called and wear i can buy it!





thank you- sorry again (terrible description!)





NOT A BABYDOLL SHIRT



okay i think i understand what kind of shirt you want :]


it kind of saggs at the breast, and hugs your stomach?...


well you can buy those at stores like 'styles for less' or 'charlotte russe' or you also just go on a shopping trip to your mall and go into girly clothes stores. i hope i helped











i wonder if we're talking about the same shirt..........

Wanting to make my own clothes?

i'm interested in starting to make my own clothes does anyone know any sites that have good, modern looking patterns that are simple and easy to understand? i have all the basic requirements like material, sewing machine etc. thankyou :)



there's:

Do high waisted skirts look ok on tall women?

I have really long slim legs, im about 5 10"


I love them, but i dont want to appear taller then i allready am!



Yes definitely. Just don't wear them with heels, I recommend gladiator sandals or any pair of cute sandals you have. High waisted skirts will accentuate your waist, making you appear curvier, not taller. In fact, they sometimes make your torso look shorter, sometimes. At least, it seems so for me.




Yes they do tend to make you appear even taller by increasing the leg/torso ratio. If you want to look your height or shorter then stick to mid or low waist skirts and pants.





Or if you do wear the skirt, then stick with flats and wear a slightly longer shirt over the top.





Hope this helps.




High waisted skirts will make you look taller, and leaner.


I think it's a good thing :) My friend is 6'0" and she wears them, which makes her look super model-ish.

Does everyone know about the taliban scarf that are the new style? is there a right and a wrong way to wear it?

I got this new scarf called the taliban scarf on monday after school, and my friend told me that I looked cute with one on because I had tried hers on. But when I got to school, everyone was saying how I look funny with it on, that I don't know how to where it, and that it's not my style. My style is a "girly girl". Must everything you where be part of style? Does it matter if I look funny with it? Even though I look like I don't know how to where does it means that I don't?



You and your best friend probably have similar tastes. So she liked it more than the kids at school.





It just depends if you're into those kinds of things.





I think if you wear it right - with lots of confidence - you will look great.




You need to put that scarf in the back of your closet and never let it touch your head again. You don't want to be labeled a "rag head" behind your back; besides if you can't pull of the look what is the point. Seriously, give it up.




the taliban is a terrorist organisation. You shouldnt be wearing anything they influenced. Its a slap in the face to our brave troops and to all the people who died in 9/11




Personally, I don't like them. My school's dress code won't even allow them, and I go to public school.

At 47 years old, did i age well?

I still have hair and just a little salt sprinkled in. I keep fit in the gym. So am i holding off the years pretty well?





Click on 360 profile for a close up



Yep! You look great! What's with the puckered lips though? Weird!




Yeah, you're lookin' pretty good, homie! Keep up the good work! Hellll, I need to get my assss in shape! Don't let my handsome avatar fool ya! I'm 41 and gettting as big as the damn national debt! Sheeeiiiitttt.




couldn't click but from your pics nt bad




Sure :)




Ya i guess but stay of the make up and p.s i still wouldnt sleep with you




Yeah, I suppose so!

Can my sunglasses be fixed? if so where can i get them fixed?

My polycarbonate lense of my sunglasses has got a massive scratch in it, i have no idea how it got there. Is it possible to have it fixed? if so, any ideas on where i could get it fixed? They cost 20 so i would rather have them fixed cheaply than have to by yet another pair.



Surely 20 is more worthwhile to replace them? Did you mean 200?





The one piece visor type will be difficult to repair, effectively you would have to replace the whole pair. You could try an expensive polishing job, I know it's technically possible using progressively finer grit sand paper, then to use diamond polishing wheels at 30 micron and then 10 micron.





If they are the separate lens type such as Rayban Wayfarers and Aviators you probably could remove that lens.




I am sure I can help you ,pls add my msn ,and I will recommend the fashion pic you need ,because I don know how to put pic here.

No once a scratch is in the glass it's there for good your better off getting another pair of sunglasses.

go mom!




You and your mum a weird....

How would you describe my style? Please answer! Someone took away my question last time!!!?

I have black hair with cinnamon highlights that goes to the middle of my back, peach skin, and really dark eyes. I shop at Nordstrom, Forever21, Victoria's Secret, and Sanrio. I dress mostly in dresses, trench coats, heels, boots, pearls, designer stuff, and Hello Kitty stuff. Colors I like to wear are shades of purple, black, gray, white, and red. Colors I really don't like are pink, orange, and yellow.



I would say young, trendy a mix of classic style with a little edge. :o)




Scenester.




probably preppy with more dark colored clothing




I'd probably say preppy and trendy,




Cute preppie




REAL preppy, not all that Hollister crap. Classy ^_^




classic girly/ hip chic

Where can i get JORDAN socks?

there is this store at portland and the store is calles jordan and there all kind of stuff there




Nike outlet

Hollister or Abercrombie?

Which is your favorite? and why?


I like tanks and shorts from Hollister and bags from Abercrombie..



Abercrombie, their stuff is much more durable and lasting, they have lots of styles and i like how their clothes fit me, its much more classy, hollister is more of a beach/street enviroment clothing




I like and shop at both but honestly if you look at a&f and then look at hco they have the same stuff they[ only differences are hollister is general less expensive and if it said abercrombie down the side it would say hollister down the side instead lol.




They are the same company.


Literally, they are the same clothes with different logos.


RUEHL No.925 and Gilly Hicks, which you've probably never heard of, are from the same company as well.





How can you prefer one to the other?


Unless you prefer moose to seagulls.




abercrombie. sexier.




abercrombie babe i love the hot guys hollister is cool and great for the price:)

Do you like high waisted shorts?

Who do you think they look best on?


Do you think they look weird?


Do you really like them and think they are cute?(:



If you have the right body, high waisted pants look very classy. They go cute with the right top, like a ruffled tank top thats silky or something. It looks sophisticated and high fashion. I love them.


xoxo




It depends on what style person it is (prep, grung, etc) and it depends on the type of shirt and shoes they wear with them.





It would look bad someone with big hips.





Sure, it's cute if it's done right.




they look good on skinny people.


maybee they look a bit weird. you just need to make the right outfit.


idk if i like them, i've never tried them on before.




EEEWWWWW!!!! ok NO! they look tttly weird! especily to guys!




NO




not many people can pull them off, so I wouldn't suggest trying.




they look good on tall and skinny people. you usually tuck your shirt in

Can i return a mascara i just bought?

i just bought Covergirl Eye Brights and it doesnt do ANYTHING for my lashes


so i want to exchange it for my lovely Lash Blast





i bought it at WAL MART and i just got it 3 days ago and yes i have the reciept



You can always return stuff to WalMart when you have the receipt.





Trust me,


I accidently by the wrong make up all the time,


whether it's the wrong color, brand, or I just dont like it...


you can always exchange it.


<3




Yep! If you have a receipt, they should accept the return with no questions asked. I returned a moisturizer that I used twice and hated, and they didn't say anything.





Yay Lash Blast!




they may not take it back if it is opened and used. but i'm not sure, i've never returned makeup to walmart. the first user who answered this question "ME!" sounds like a reliable source.




aww. now i feel all bad for telling you that it works.


it did work for me.





i dont think they willl let you return it but its worth a try.


:]




I think you can. Call before hand to double check so you don't waste your time.




Yes if you have your receipt and haven't used it.




im sure you can. i just hope they dont wrap it back up and sell it haha.. i dont want your coodies!

Clear bumps all over my face, it use to be soft but i can feel it and cant see it any advice or know what it i?

Noncomedogenic is a term applied to oils, lotions, and skin creams that do not block pores. It is most likely the lotion or foundation you are using. you might buy a noncomedogenic foundation first to see if that is the source. I suggest mary kay foundation. It lasts a VERY long time for how small the tube is. it is I believe 18.oo but lasts four to six months. you probably know someone who sells Mary Kay but if not you can always order from my cousin online at www.marykay.com/pshipley1


she is very reliable as well.




You may be breaking out under your skin which is something that ProActiv can get rid of.

my birthday

Is there a website to look up hair salons in a certain area?

Every place i know here is either a place like supercuts, is in a really bad area, or charges out the nose. this is really frustrating.



www.paulmitchell.com


go to salons and type in your zip code it should give you a list,





also to the yellow pages under Beauty





hope i helped




what area are you looking for, I have access to special sites since I am a liscenced cosmetologist, and I can give you a list if you tell me the area




yellow pages!




its called YAHOO

How do you prevent a nightgown from rolling up?

As a crossdresser, I love sleeping in nightgowns that are below the knee or nighties. But they keep rolling up. How do i prevent this from happening.





Otherwise doesnt wearing a nightgown defeat the purpose if it will roll up, then why not just sleep in panties?



i wear night gowns... sometimes... but your right they do roll up sometimes.. but i dont wear panties underneath so it doesnt bother me....




night gowns are DATED. i don't wear them or know a single person who does. sorrry :S

I just broke my arm on Tuesday...?

and i need surgery to put a metal rod on the break so it'll heal straight. my surgery is not until NEXT Tuesday, and picture day is today! i am not going to school until i have a permanent cast, which i will have post surgery. i will get a chance to retake my pictures, but im gonna have a cast in the picture. i REALLY don't want a cast in my school pictures! what should i do to work my cast (lol)? please, suggest anything that would make me look a little decent with a cast :) thanks.



Can you see if you can purchase a long sleeved shirt where the cast will fit and cover it?




Just think it is only one school picture and it is supposed to be a representation of what you are right now. One day your kids will look back on it and laugh. But you could always talk to the photographer and have you sit to the side and turn your head toward the camera if it really bothers you. I am sure they will work with you.




You better bet would be to have your mom call the school and ask the main office if you can re-take.

What happens if you put honey on your hair? easy 10 points?

just want to put it on for about 10 miniutes, will it make your hair smell nice?(like honey?) make it healthier, stronger?



definitly DONT do it. i read in a magazine a long time ago an at home recipe for hair. it was honey and milk and egg whites i think. i tried it, and my hair got soo tangly and i could not brush it!! for a really good hair mask try avacado, or buy one at a salon. theyre 20 bucks tops.




You can't beat a good quality hair conditioner and not all of them are expensive, so why bother with' hair today, goo tomorrow', [ borrowed from Cadbury's Creme Egg ad] ! LOL




it will probaly make it greasy




Sticky...




You will attract a load of wasps and bees.




Bee's will chase you around and then you will have a bee hive like Amy Winehouse lool




it makes your hair healthier... makes less oily




I am a mole and I live in a hole!




Winnie the Pooh will come and lick your head!




You will attract Wasps




Look out for the Bears!




Probably just a big sticky mess. I've never tried it but it doesn't sound good,

Is it safe to clean ears with earbuds?

my friend said it is...so how am i meant to clean them?



How can people here say that ear buds damage your ears? Do you know how much dirt is collected inside your ears? It is necessary to clean them. Wax is built up and eventually will block your hearing. I use a cotton bud to clean my ears and if you do it carefully and gently, the chances of damaging your hearing is unlikely. I have been cleaning my ears with cotton buds since the age of 11.





You can dip the cotton bud in baby oil and then slowly rotate it inside your ear. You'll see how much dirt comes out!




You can clean your outer ear(the part that you can see) with ear buds. Don't stick them inside your ear, you can damage your ear and shove any wax, further in, making it more difficult to hear. Wax actually clears by itself and there is no need to shove anything inside your ears. If you are having difficulty hearing you should go to the nurse and ask if she can take a look. She might suggest getting your ears syringed, which would clear any excess wax that may have built up. Sometimes, this can happen if you have had a number of ear infections over the years.




You should get some hydrogen Peroxide and a rubber syringe that they use for ear wax removal, run some bath water as warm as you can stand it , climb into the bathtub , once you are in water tilt your head to one side and pour some of the hydrogen peroxide into an ear canal, let it churn for awhile, that means that is working on wax removal, after it has churned for awhile lay down in water on that side, fill rubber syringe with water from tub and then irrigate the wax from the ear, do it several times, then proceed to other side and do the same thing to it, I use this method all the time with great success.




don't go into the ear canal with ANYTHING - only the outer (visible) part should be cleaned. Accidental popping of the ear drum is VERY common when any object enters the ear canal. That is horribly painful. If you think your ears are all gunked up inside, your doc can clean them out.





PS - Yes, they can cause damage - ask ANY doctor. Unless you have a very delicate hand and are VERY good at knowing how far you are going, you can do much damage. I know two people who have damaged their ear drums that way - and my daughters FORMER pediatrian even "accidently" broke an eardrum while digging in a childs ear. A professional should be consulted for inner ear cleaning. Not "well, I hope this isn't in there too far........". Just my thoughts and experience.




apparently its not that safe as you can damage your ears and the fibres on the cotton can cause damage aswell but i still use them lol. My friend uses a hair clip :S lol.

Small viisble hair hair on chest would my guy notice?

would he be turned off?what can i do?



Our bodies are covered in hair. It would be more unnatural if you had no hair anywhere. True, it's not as visable or prominant on a female as a guy, but it's there. Don't shave it or pluck it or whatever, it should make no-difference. If he complains, tell him to cut his pubes and see how he feels about that.




It pretty natural to have hair on the body. How can nature ever be unattractive? If the hair is not so blinding visible, then there is no need to get rid of it. If it is making you feel insecure, wax it off. But your boyfriend should be proud of who you are, you do not need to change yourself for him. Make changes only for yourself.




Well, it depended on how close he gets to you. He can notice IF you dont distract him





I say wax or shave it!




if he freaks out about that, dump his @zz

Are u meant to blot red lipstick/lipgloss?

it just looks too much against my medium tanned indian skin ...



Blotting gloss seems really counterproductive to me. Perhaps you need a more sheer red gloss. Cover girl makes a very good sheer red. You can blot lipstick to both mute the color or to make it more like a stain so it will last longer. (Ooh! Try a red lip stain!)





As for lipstick, you will need to experiment with different shades of red. If the one you're trying is too blue in tone, try a warmer brick or orangey red. If it's too warm, try a cooler tone.





Also, you may find that just one color won't do it for you. Take a few different reds and blend away.




If it looks too much why don't you try going with a different shade. If your skin is tan I found that using lighter shades like lighter brown shades. Golds and shimmery earth tones work well. I tan on a regular basis and I wear gold. It is a good contrast.




lipstick, yes...blot it at least once...lip gloss...not so sure. Shouldn't be put on so thick that it needs to be blotted.

What

I really want 2 be a model!



i have had a little modeling experience so i know what you need. You want to eat healthy try to stay away from ice cream, cookies etc.


You also need to own at least one pair of heels. the heel should be higher so you can pivot in them. You need to be practicing in them too. You also need to have a strut. Something everybody will remember you by. Practice posing too because when you're on stage you need to have those poses perfectly. Try not to be shy, let your personality show. And remember to have fun :)




it depends on what kind of model.





For example runway models are ususally very skinny and at least 5'9'' tall. But Victoria's Secret models are tall and curvy, and catalouge models usually look like prettier versions of regular people, aka average height and weight. And then there are had and feet models, ect.





But you generally need to have a pretty, balanced face, clear skin, not overweight, and being tall helps.





Hope it helps. :)




tall, extremely skinny, ugly (i'm not kidding) models are ugly

How many mm

I'm shopping for hoops online and I don't know which size to order. I'd like a pair of medium size ones about the diameter of a soda bottle cap. What size range would that be in mm's?



Well not sure if this helps, and "medium" is a pretty relative term (medium soda at the movies vs at burger king...) but I have an Aquafina cap in front me right now and its 30mm. Hope that at least provides a little info :)




what are mms

Has anyone tried Paul Brown - Hawaiian Keratin Straightening Treatment?

I had it done 3 1/2 days ago, I was told not to wet my hair, tie it up, clip it up, use headbands, etc. I didn't. I let it lay flat the whole time. Well after my 72hours were up this morning I washed it. My hair is the same as it was! Just as frizzy and wavy. nothing like I was told it would be (smooth and straight) Even if the frizz was gone it would be better!


Also, I had this done professionally....



get your money back and tell everyone you know not to go there




Go back and get your money!

How come I

I was pretty in middle school, since I was 12, and up until when I was 16, I started to notice that I've become less prettier every year. Which is strange. I'm not getting any attention anymore and people are starting to call me ugly.





I think my face used to be rounder but now it's more oval/less fat. I've also lost a lot of weight..I was 110lbs, now I only weigh around 100lbs. My eyes seem to be less shinier.





I just look ugly now. I don't know if I can be pretty again or if it's just part of growing up?



It sounds like you are not eating as healthy. If you were trying to lose all that weight on purpose due to the "new skinny look" you may want to gain that back. And if you keep listening to others and let them get you down, bad self-esteem can make a person look ugly. If you are confident and happy, people will see the once beautiful girl they once new. But I am sure you are. Every girl is in some way.




Usually the rounder girls will grab more attention, especially at your age. It could be the weight loss has taken away some of the attention you used to get. I would say that if you could put on a few pounds, then do so, also if you are a more physically fit person, it tends to both make you feel better about yourself, and increases the attention people will pay towards you.





This is part of growing up, though. people change their opinion of what they like almost as fast as people around you are changing their opinions. You might have to just weather the storm here. If you go off to college, there are a more diversified group of people there, I'm sure you'd be a hit among new faces.




i think that everyone is cuter when they are younger.


im sure that when you are comfortable with the way you look, you will be able to flatter your figure,


if your eyes are less shiny, it's very easy to get eye drops that can make them shiny again, and they are quite cheap.


I wouldn't worry about people calling you ugly, they are either jealous or just generally horrible.


:)x




It's all in the mind..


A person doesn't change to such an extent to turn ugly after being pretty as you claim.


A little piece of advice for you, if you start calling yourself ugly it doesn't stop anyone from doing so too.


Love yourself, because if you don't, nobody will.


And on a final note, you have got the wrong idea about being 'pretty'.


Beauty, my lovely, comes from the within.


So if you feel happy inside, it'll show on the outside.


Good luck.




like the other person said, your not donw growing yet. wait a few years and you will start to see more changes. also, guys dont like really skinny girls. a little bit of fat is perfectly normal. try new hairstyles and makeup to help your appereance




um most times people start out ugly (as kids...elementary age) then get cute or start out cute (preschool age) and then get ugly as they grow into their permanent looks...if u were pretty at 16 i dont see how u cane be getting uglier unless u are becomng very frail and thin




You have to look at how you are living your life. Is it free of stresses or are you going through some hard times right now. If you are going through something...that can definetly take a toll on your appearance. Try to live life free of stresses.




Age changes everything. Pretty is not on the outside but whats inside. Don't let the world let you think what is pretty and what is not.




It happens to a lot of people, thats why there's makeup-and you definitely shoud gain weight again to make you look healthier and it will brighten your face!





hope i helped :]




You are too hung up on your looks. You need to reach out to others and volunteer to help. Maybe focusing on others will make you more pretty.




you are just going through puberty. You will mature into woman with the same pretty features as before, just give it time.




your not done growing up yet.




WELL U SHOULD TRY GETTING UR WEIGHT BACK N WORK ON MAKIN UR FACE ROUND..GET ALOT OF SLEEP




Confidence is Beautiful that's what you need to have




without a few pics who knows...duh




try gaining the weight again


might help bring back some lift to ur face

How often should you exfoliate your face?

Is everyday too much?



It really depends on what type you use and your skin type. Normally it tells you on the back how often you should use it, and it probably varies from 2-3 times a week. If you do it everyday, you could damage your skin, but it's not certain.




I don't have sensitive skin so I use a gentle medicated exfoliant everyday and a rougher sugar based one about once per week.





I have virtually breakout free skin.




For my skin it would be too much. But I think it depends on how sensitive your skin is and how rough your exfoliater is. I exfoliate every other day, like 3 or 4 times a week.




yes everyday is too much 2-3 times a week is the recommended/suggested. :)




Every other day. On the other day moisturize. It'll balance your skin nicely




2-3 times/week.




i do it once everyday

How do girls walk down the stairs in high heels?

ok i know this is a weird question but it amazes me to see a girl walk down steps in high heels. they dont even fall or wobble or anything. i even tried a pair on and they werent even high and i feel straight on my face. ON FLAT GROUND. i dont understand how girls can do that, how do they do it? is it instinct or did you have to learn?





thanks in advance



Wow :P


Well women are born with the gene of narrow feet.


With me, Walking in high heels is still a little wobbly.


Which sukks cu's i'm a natural cluts :/


But i'm learning ^^


Uhm, Well i only answered this for the 2 points :P


And, i noticed you're on my fans list.


Lol, bye.








-


<3


Heather


-








Btw-


Pretty sure it depends on the girl --




I've yet to figure out how. Haha.


Well, for one thing, most girls have narrower feet which fit in the shoes better.


I think girls have a gene that they inherit from their mothers that allows them to walk in the heels.


I really don't know.


It takes practice, that's for sure. A lot of little girls try on their moms' heels and practice then. Then, when the time comes that they need to wear them, they're already pros.




LOL


practice makes perfect !





we start with small heels, then move on to bigger ones


but if the stairs are really steep we hold on to the rails ! LOL cause well thats what they're there for right?


and Id rather hold on to the rails then fall flat on my face LOL.





its like hmm .


y ou can throw a football pretty far right?


some girls can't throw footballs at all because


idunno we're like football challenged LOL


but it comes so easy to guys.





its like the same thing : )


its sort of instinct/learning


the more we do it the more easier it is !




I had to practice. I still cant go down steps with heels on without looking down and I wear them often. Now if there is a strap that goes around the back of my heel I don't have to look down when I'm going down steps. It also depends on the style of heels. some are easier to walk in than others.




u have to move ur hips a bit more, its basically all in the hips. and when walking down the stairs, just hold the railing for more support




INSTINCT! THATSS JUST HOW US GIRLS WORK ITT ;D haha


it takes practiceeee,practice&&practice!




Practice and practice...

Survey: What is your favorite type of footwear?

For me, it is tennis shoes. Rockport and Skeechers FTW.



I like sneaker best




TENNIS SHOES PREFERABLY BASKETBALL SHOES LIKE NIKES , JORDANS , AND ADIDAS




AnneKline, Nike




Skater Shoes...DVS and DC




ballet flats :)

What type would you suggest?

I have to go buy a new swimsuit this weekend (ugh) and I'm not sure what type to get. My torso is way too long to get a one piece and I'm a little bit of a pear shape so they look horrible on me anyways. I am a 36C. 5'9" tall. muscular legs with a small "baby pooch" in my lower abs (i've had 2 kids). but the top 1/2 of me is slender and athletic. I also have a muscular "ghetto booty" /


I'm 26 with blonde hair and light skin. I'm self concious as hell about my thighs so I don't like to show them off either


What type of suit do you think I should get? I was thinking of a short skirt type bottom and a tankini top ?





PLEASE NO RUDE COMMENTS..I'VE BEEN WORKING ON LOSING WEIGHT AND I DON'T NEED TO CRY TODAY



Aww sweetie.


Victoria's secret has a great selection of different bathing suit types.


If your not looking to buy there, you can always get ideas for the type of bathing suit!


They have stylish tops that blouse out, covering your sensitive mid-section, and many many others!





Good luck!




try a tankini top with a skirt yes you had the right idea lol




sounds good keep workn at it

For a job interview is it okay to wear jeans if you wear heals and a dress shirt?

Its a hotel that I already have expierence with and actually are currently working with. I also have nice jewlery too.. but just wanted some opinions



I'm not going to say anything bad about the jeans just make sure you don't look slutty. Look professinal. I think what you chose is absoIutely fine. I think you should really wear whatever you casually wear. Don't dress up too much. Because then what will happen is they'll see what you wear and judge you partly on that and then if they love it but you hate it that's not good because you have to go to work every single day in in outfit that you absolutely hate. If you wear what you love wearing you'll love going to work because it's just like hanging out except you have to be serious. If they don't like what you wear then who cares because they're not going to judge you on that and they can't not give you the job because they hate what you wear. They can only not give you the job if your attitude sucks as well as you reseme. But since you said you have eexperienceat the hotel you probably know what everybody where's so maybe you should mix that with what you usually wear and VOILA! Just remember feel comfortable in whatever you decide to wear. PPreferablynot heels because you have to walk in them all day and he might ask you to do some stuff. Also make sure it's stuff you can afford. Because if you get into the habit of wearing eexpensiveclothes to work each day and you white top that is most common to you rips or something and it was alot of money you have to go out and buy a new one.





Hopee I Helped .. XD <3 .. :-)




Think about it, what impression do jeans give an employer?





Personally if you came to me for an interview in jeans and there was someone there with the same experience as you but dressed smartly, I would employ them instead of you.





However if you were way ahead of the rest of the applicants I would consider you for the job but stress to you the importance of appearance.




NO...don't do it. You always want to leave a good impression with them. They might think your too comfortable since you currently work for the hotel. So throw on some nice dress pants with your outfit. Bring your best foot forward because the person next to you might have experience and dress to impress.




YES! Forget these ignoramuses!! There are no set rules. Try dark skinny jeans though, not wide acid jeans. It'll be casual, cute, and professional. It will be especially lovely because you said you have a nice top, heels, and jewelry. STUN THEM! :D Good Luck!




Not for a hotel, no. You should always wear pants or a skirt. However, I wore skinny jeans with heels and dress shirt to a McDonalds interview when I was 16 and got the job. But this is totally different.




No regardless you want to look as professional as possible, especially if you are hoping to get promoted to a higher position since you already work for them.




Not if you want the job. wear a skirt and pantyhose, anything else would be totally inappropriate.




NO....... Jeans and high heels means you are going out to a bar.





Always wear professional clothes...like dress pants or a skirt a blouse (dont show cleavage) and some simple jewelry.




Oh, no. Dress for success! Remember to always dress for the job you want and not the job you have.


Good luck!




No, I was going to say it depends on the industry you are applying to join, but for the hotel industry its a defo NO.




Heels with Jeans is trashy.


Always dress a step better than you'd have to if you had the job.




No, too casual of interview, must make good impression, dress up more.




Yes it's ok as long as they are nice looking preferably dark wash boot cut jeans, but skinny jeans are ok too. Good luck




absolutly not that would ruin your chances of getting the job.




Unless you are interviewing to be a maid, the answer is "No."




Nope theres no getting out of it. Wear a sweet pencil skirt with what you already have.




ABSOLUTELY NOT! Get a skirt or some nice dress pants.




absolutely not




Nahh. I would wear dress pants vs. jeans. It's more professional.




I think you should wear dress pants instead of jeans. Jeans are too casual




hell no


if you don;t receive a call from them, that's the reason why.




No! You should NEVER wear jeans to a interview.




you should wear a pencil skirt or dress pants.




no dress formal to impress




yeah dont wear jeans wear some sort of dress pants




no

Is 6.2 height is beautiful for a girl?

That's really tall. Good luck finding a guy to date. How tall you are has nothing to do with being beautiful. Models are tall, but they are also pretty. One has nothing to do with the other.




definitely, tennis champion/swimsuit model/total hottie maria Sharapova is 6'2 - very sexy long legs!





Also good for having babies with - tall children!




yeah, you can be a model :-)




its not the legs that i normally look at ;)


xxxxx




if she has long sexy legs, then yes




yessss ur so lucky! im only 5 2 and im 16!





Not fair

Whats a good place to find unique clothing and accessories?

I already know of urban outfitters, metropark


they must be able to ship to the u.s.!



monsoon and accessorize retail shops, haven't bought any clothes but bought a make-up bag, purse and jewelery roll,they all match, all in same style. love them, there great. bought some nice hair clips. and a pair of fingerless gloves that I love.





have a scarf and glove set bought for me, for my birthday from accessorize, really nice and a chocolate brown shoulder bag called "babushka" really nice.





great shop.




You need to look for vintage stores in your area, also, go to Goodwill, you will find all kinds of things there cheap.

Good makeup question?

What is a good makeup line for cover-up and foundation that won't irritate my skin too much. My face is sensitive and i have a few dark spots on it that I just can't stand and they just need to be covered. Please and thank you.



I'm with you! I have extremely sensitive skin, too. What you need to look for is something that doesn't have a lot of oils in it (non-comedogenic), and something that won't cause any irritation (hypoallergenic). If you're looking at a powder, check and make sure it doesn't contain talc. That's a product which can make the skin red and dry.





MAC has very good concealer, but if you have oily skin, I wouldn't highly recommend their foundation.




some may swear by the mineral foundations like bare minerals or sheer cover. i like mac and mary kay, too.




bare minerals.

Fashion Advice for Jeans Jacket?

Now I am planning my winter wardrobe I already have Knits ect... but I need a jacket jeans. Anyway should I invest my money into a really good pair of jeans or just buy 2 pairs? also what is a good kind of jacket that you can take anywhere and looks good with anything.





Thanks for all the advice



Depends on the style you can pull off.


If I was in need of pants, I'd buy the best quality and best looking on me pants rather than two that made me look-well ugh/icky.


Leather is usually pretty nice, not my preference.


Jean is out to me.


Cloth is in- and it's simple and matchable.


Depends on how a person is too. Like someone around my age, 16-18, can pull off Vans and Eck Unlimited but if my grandpa (60's) or even my dad (30's) wore those brands, I'd be scared.


Zip-ups are my personal favorite for jackets, pullovers suck when you're hair is done.

Why do blondes have the worst skin?

LOL before all the blondes in the world yell at me hear me out;





In my family specifically all the blondes have worst skin than the brunettes. I am one of the blondes. My skin is good now but when I was younger it was always zitty, while my sister got maybe 2 zits in her whole life (brunette). I noticed why my cousins that the blondes always get zits and the brunettes don't. This is on both my mom and dads side. So whats up with this?



Coincidence...purely. The blondes in your family are probably prone to oilier skin, that is all. It has nothing to do with being blonde, though. That is just how it happened to work out in your family, not everyone's!




I think that's just a coincidence... I have never heard that before.


I'm a natural brunette and used to be zitty, and I see plenty of non-blondes with acne, so I don't think you're stereotype is right.




i think the zits are just more noticeable because the blond hair blends in with your face more if you have white skin and makes things on your face that have color kinda stand out.




i'm twelve and blonde, I have maybe two not-so-noticeable zits...but some of the blondes in my class have horrible skin. oh well!
