Crow Jane posted:Do you hold the hairdryer directly against the boot, or a few inches away? And for how long? to shape the leather for the foot part of the boots, i keep the dryer about two inches away, maybe a bit closer. at first i just kind of go all over the foot bit to warm everything up, then i stand up in the shoe and start concentrating on the problem areas, going up on the balls of my feet and heating the toes for about a minute, that kind of thing. leather wants to crease in certain areas and feet want to breathe in certain areas, so if you have trouble with shoes on your pinky toe or big toe knuckles, you want to heat that for a couple of minutes while you pretend to walk in place so that the leather remembers how to be. if you routinely get massacred on your upper back heels like i do, heat for a minute then wriggle for ten seconds, for like five or ten minutes, continuously. but before you do that, buy some cheap inserts because sometimes the heel massacre can be lessened if your heel is elevated within the shoe a little bit. i always need to put inserts in docs, for example. with the inserts in, walk around the block and you'll know where the shoe hurts, and then target those areas with the hairdryer. after you have spent a bit of time heating the leather, wander around your house or flat a bit and basically just keep them on until the leather feels cool, and they should fit your feet really nicely after that for shaping the leather over the calves, you really have to measure the circumference of your calf, and the circumference of the boot at the point where it's too tight. if the difference is more than 3cm, i would either not buy the boots or plan on taking them to a cobbler. i have pretty butch soccer player legs so ymmv if you have thinner calves and boots don't fit, i think the difference should then be like 2cm before you go to a cobbler. once leather has split, it's split. anyway, it's basically similar to the foot thing but instead of socks you get a dishtowel and wrap your calf in it. if you can wrap the dishtowel around your calf twice and still do the boot up, so much the better. make sure you have fabric coming up above the boot when you hairdry the boot, otherwise you'll burn your skin. blow dry until you can feel the heat on your skin, going around and around your leg, and then walk around in the shoe for about ten minutes until it cools then do the same to the other boot basically, what you're doing is heating the leather to soften it, then moving around so that it hardens into the right shape Fruity Gordo fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Nov 16, 2013 |

i am a shameful bitch when it comes to makeup. every few months i buy a tube of concealer which matches my skin tone and i just dab that on all over my face after i cleanse, tone and moisturise every morning to even out my skin tone. if i go to the bathroom and think i need a touch up i dab on a bit more. i'm also loving lazy enough that every month i go and get my eyelashes tinted for ten bux, so i only need to wear mascara when i want to look ultra fabulous tint yo eyelashes girl. it is cheap as gently caress and so great for when you have a job that makes you cry sometimes (social caseworker wooo)

my best friend performs in drag shows every second weekend or so and i am not allowed to touch his make up, only his hair and clothes. everyone's an arsehole and always says i should wear more makeup but the slags never say what kind. i figure they'd tell me if i looked horrendous or just wouldnt hang out with me if i did, but a host of twinks pushing you away from the make up table is a rude thing for a femme. loving queers

she has a really posh aussie accent, like she grew up in the cotswolds and then moved to melbourne when she was 14 dolly parton did it better imo but that lady seems weird and cool so whatevs. they look like they'd be a massive loving annoyance more than anything else, and it's weird to want impractically massive fake tits but there are far worse bourgeois indulgences to be had and if she's stoked about her comedy boobs then that's cool with me

i like a flat surface to blow raspberries on. motorboating as a thing is kind of weird anyway, growing up blowing raspberries on people was like a fun thing you did to infants and toddlers to make them giggle, or a thing you do to family members to troll them when they go to kiss you on the cheek. i've blown raspberries on lovers' butt cheeks and bellies and boobs and stuff to be cheeky and funny but i'd be scared of getting stuck or knocked out motorboating that lady. blowing raspberries is only fun if it's a surprise and it happens really quickly and flirtily, motorboating seems like a thing that goes on a bit too long e: also i'd be scared of hurting her, because the skin on her chest is probably a bit tight and fake boobs dont really move around in the skin like real ones do. shaking my head around in her boobs seems fraught with danger

i've only ever been motorboated by a weird gay guy i was at a uni function with who like did a drive-by motorboating on the way to the bar though, so i probably have weird opinions about this. for all i know it is awesome and great fun in the right circumstances, which it probably is because in the right circumstances pretty much anything sexual is awesome except really weird poo poo like poo and blood and axemaniac attn gay men: just because you are gay, it doesn't mean that groping women randomly isn't indecent assault

my favourite thing is when gay men do drag and then get groped by EVERYONE and then realise 'hey this poo poo isnt cool it is horrible' and then they never try to touch my boobs without asking ever again

i was too shocked to get a punch in, plus i was talking to one of my gender studies lecturers at the time. which was great because the motorboat guy had a position of power in the student union and the professor was outraged and the guy never lived it down and got shamed hardcore all the time

for all the loving weirdo men who lurk and post in this thread who are afraid of things that bleed and don't die, here is a tragic and cruel story for all of you to feel bad about: my stepmother was an unmedicated psychotic manic depressive when i was a preteen, and whenever i went to my court-appointed visits to stay at my dad's house for the weekend and was on my period i had to wrap up my used pads or tampons in toilet paper, go to her, unwrap them and show how much i had bled, and ask for a plastic bag to put it in, and then take it out to the bin outside immediately, because menstrual blood was loving disgusting basically what i'm saying is that your jokes are loving hilarious, you morons

Espy posted:For me personality always seems to weigh into it more, like being super hot is great and all but its really minor on the totem pole. Guys find me pretty attractive so I guess I've also been able to pick and choose whoever I wanted? my friends and i play this game where we sit in the front windows of pubs and cafes and have to choose a life partner out of the first three people who walk by. after a while you stop looking at people's bodies and look at their faces, and you notice how kind some people's faces are though they're not classically beautiful. kind faces are the best faces

nearly everyone i've dated has been way hotter than me classically imo, but they havent realised it. i have dated a lady who knew how sexy she was and we had great fun sex and fun and cuddles and nice times but then we had to split because of job distance. that was the hardest breakup ever, because relationships with needy people are loving terrible

gin and tonic is great, lime wedge supremacy tho the most wonderful coats in the world are woollen full-skirt coats and if you can find one in an op shop or vintage shop you should buy one and treasure it forever because nothing is more beautiful in the wintertime than a woman in a woolen full-skirted coat

I have a leather coat that people are positive towards, but I really hate wearing leather so gently caress that. Now that I think of it I think I will donate it to Salvation Army or something this weekend. oh yeah dont wear a wool coat every day if you live in fog town because the fabric can warp if you dont hang it properly when its wet and then it wont fit as beautifully! if any of youse ever need tips on fabric care i am a nerd for this poo poo and used to work at a drycleaners as well. gently caress i love proper fabric care
