oh yeah I wanted to say that because of this thread I impulse-bought nail polish for the first time since I was 12, and now I can't stop looking at my nails because they're soooooooo sparkly
so thank you ladythread, you have made measurable improvements to my life and fabulousness

I get really distracted staring at my nails all the time. Maybe I'm part crow.



I have been avoiding that thread because I already have enough of a problem and I might never escape.

I didn't mean it in a mean way. :( I honestly was surprised to learn that Mad Men is more like a soap opera because I heard it was sooo classy. I didn't think you were being pretentious just because other people are, though. There's nothing wrong with liking a show, it's just annoying when you constantly hear people act like Downton Abbey is the greatest show ever and it turns out to be a BBC soap opera.

But it's the BBC so all the shows are automatically classy and deep. :rolleyes:

I like painting my nails but they get chipped so easily, it drives me crazy. I'm planning a trip to Sephora as an anniversary/Valentine's Day present, however, so I am eager for any beauty recommendations. I definitely want to get sponges because I hate getting crap on my fingers.

No offense taken! I think people should just like what they like

oh my god is there anything worse than trying to break in new shoes? I bought new boots and they look super cute but my feet are SO MAD at me right now. Had to pop them off to give my feet a bit of breathing space.

Is there a better way to break in shoes other than just wearing them a bunch? Like one weird old trick a suburban mom discovered that makes cobblers hate her? Anything?

Broil them for about 3 minutes or until lightly brown. The cheese should be melted.

if they're real leather, the fashion thread often advises putting on a couple pairs of thick socks and then heating the crap out of the shoes with a hairdryer to make the leather conform to your natural footshape
but idk I might be misremembering, I just know fashionthread, for all its problems, knows the dark art of shoes so this is a thing to take to them :)

A thing that I have done with shoes that are too tight is to put a small ziplock baggie of water into each, then put them in the freezer. If you do this a couple of times they will stretch out pretty well - I got the pair I did it to up a size at least.

I would not do this with delicate or expensive shoes in case they stretch out weirdly and maybe get some quasimodo-like bulges.

Also I second the recommendation of Sapphire and Steel; it is awesome.


Edit: Double or triple bag the water too; you definitely do not want icebergs to weld themselves into the toes of your shoes because they make the leather go weird-looking and are an absolute bastard to get out.

What we're covering in class right now is so bullshit that somebody straight up asked what the practical application is. The teacher responded "astrophysics." :psyboom:

the reason I couldn't stand my math classes in college was because the professors never gave proper answers as to what the practical applications were

Was it made in China? $35 is usually the Made in China fee.

I find it really frustrating because I'm perfectly happy with math... as long as it's actually being used to accomplish or analyze something. Math when it comes up in chemistry or physics is fine for me, but math class is like studying obscure grammar rules without actually reading anything in an English class.

Possibly? I don't know.

Not ordering form there again.

I'm just glad that it fits, so I don't have to send it back.

I forgot how weird I look in strapless dresses though. I'm going to have to do something about that.
