Jesus if thats being picked up as a cuticle problem I should just hide my hands altogether. Dont wear falsies theyre harder to bite.

Did the French manicure start in France?

Nope.

When it comes to fashion, simply having the word “French” in the description of an idea can yield big bucks. In 1975, Los Angeles-based Orly International, a nail care company, introduced what has become known as the French manicure. Truth be told, the French manicure never had that much to do with the French (other than for the Parisian runway models who sported the look). The classic French manicure actually was created for myriad Hollywood starlets looking for a clean-yet-polished look for their nails. (Source)

Great idea, slop some really nasty chemicals on your nails (that pass water, or other chems, 50 times faster than skin) then cover with plastic so the chemicals have no way out. Makes the "patch" look archaic.:eek3:

Cuticles? French nails? or tiny furry creatures?

All of the above, but I was specifically referring to fake nails.

Damn, my money was on tiny furry creatures.

Close, but not quite. It was not a monkey, but about a Zuni fetish doll that was... immortal (?) and pissed off. I can see a resemblance, though...

The movie was Terror Of The Doll and I must say that movie FREAKED ME OUT. Thanks for reviving some previously buried nightmares.

The best piece of the ABC Movie of the Week "Trilogy of Terror", starring Karen Black. I would dearly love to see this again.

!

I saw it when I was 11, and it must have been one of the first horror/scary things I ever saw in my life. :eek: I never thought I'd find out what it actually was. Turns out the message board on the IMDB page is full of people exactly like us who were totally freaked out by it when they were kids. Thanks V, thanks Internet, thanks Karen Black for making us little kids pee our pants so bad. :thepain3:
