I wear 'em without underwear because I'm dating a leg fetishist who is always willing to buy me more pairs. Plus, no panty lines, and it's nice to feel the breeze on your nethers.


This is the most personal thing I've ever posted on SA, oh god.

I bought a pair of high-heeled booties today that I kind of love, but they look really dumb with my skinny jeans. Boot-cuts would cover up the cool buckles, though, so I'm just going to wear tights and leggings all winter and die of hypothermia.

i'm just wishing girls would wake up and start crushing the fashion industry themselves. a few times when i was at home, my mom (who has been a tv addict since before i was born) was watching some horrific model/fashion show and i almost immediately noticed that all the judges were either ultra-femmy gay guys who had absolutely no idea what was and was not attractive or sinister-looking old women who were obviously bitter and taking it all out on all young women. it's both sad and pathetic, but women seem to be really eager to buy into it, and that is also pathetic.

Maybe because clothes are fun? Gild that lily.

I have short, curly henna'd hair that looks like a flapper bob when I brush it and a prize-winning Jewfro if I don't. Argan oil changed my life.

I liked having long hair, but I never knew what to do with it. It's much easier this way, and I haven't had to unclog the shower drain since I got it cut.

Does having your nail break really hurt? It never made sense to me seeing as it doesn't have any nerves.

Depends on where the break is. If it's below the quick, it hurts like a bitch. It's more a pain in the rear end, because if you break a nail you have to file all the others down to match.

Speaking of nails, does anyone else have trouble keeping polish on for more than a day? I keep my nails pretty short and always use base- and topcoats, but I always, always get chips really fast.

What kind of top coat and base coat are you using? If you want cheapo drugstore stuff, Revlon multicare base coat holds on pretty well. For slightly better quality, China Glaze sticky adhesion base coat does a good job. For top coat I'm a Seche Vite fan, but some people have shrinkage issues with it.

Also are you wrapping the tips with the polish and top coat? That'll stop like a poo poo ton of chips from occurring.

Come to the nail polish thread in YLLS, all the ladies are nice and before you know it you'll be topping 300 bottles and wondering what happened to your life...

Essie for both, and I do wrap the tips. I've heard that body chemistry plays a part in how polish adheres... though like others in this thread, pedicures last forever on me, so maybe I'm just banging my hands around more than I think I am.

I do lurk the polish thread, but that thread moves fast. Everyone does seem super nice, though!

Last night the boyfriend and I hung out with some friends for a bit, and I heard one of the absolute worst things ever. A friend of their's had gone into the hospital to have an ovarian cyst removed. It was pretty big, so they had decided to just remove the while ovary. Couple nights later, the girl's home and wakes up screaming in the middle of the night. She went to the hospital, got a scan, and it turns out that THE DOCTORS HAD REMOVED THE WRONG OVARY. They removed the other one, and now she's 26, infertile, and will probably have health problems for the rest of her life. Good lord.
