Nobody's Talkin' At Me...
Look. I'm sick of all the lurking--contribute or else!
On another tract--what products/services do you endorse? I like Clinique makeup (after years of using the higher-priced stuff) and expensive pedicures--the cheap ones are really a rip off and could lead to VD. Vous? :lobstah: (I like the lobstah smilie and feel it's underused) |
I'm not a big makeup fan. It really bugs me when girls, usually teens/early twenties, wear too much make-up. I don't care how pretty a girl is excess or obvious makeup is nausea inducing.

I'm not a make-up fan either, although when I used to wear it, it was clinique. Actually, I wanted to wear make-up to Jim's work x-mas party last year, so I bought some Mary Kate and Ashley brand on my way down to the hotel. It was very sparkly.
I've never had a pedicure, but I did have my eyelashes dyed once. I would do that again. Endorsements: Keen shoes Abercrombie jeans Jeeps (I covet the new Commander) Stumble! |

I've never worn makeup outside of theatrical events or or Halloween, but when I did, I always preferred water-based pancake makeup to greasepaint. Greasepaint melts in the heat and runs into your eyes.

I heartily endorse: --Dr Pepper --Diet Coke with Splenda --Starbucks --Jack in the Box --Guinness |
The real question is, have you ever ordered Guinness and Diet Coke with Splenda from the same bartender?
|
Not yet. Besides, I've only seen Diet Coke with Splenda in grocery stores.
|
I forgot Diet Dr. Pepper. Diet Coke w/Splenda tastes kind of grainy to me.
|
I also endorse Diet Dr Pepper...I'm drinking one as I sit here at the computer. I wish they'd start sweetening it with Splenda...that would totally kick ass!
|
Wow, specifically endorse, not just use. That's a pretty heavy responsibility there ... Gotta think it over some more.
A few that I'm sure about: J.R. Liggett's Old Fashioned Bar Shampoo High Winds Flutes by Odell Borg Glock Pistols Slurpees amazon.com Now, how do we hook up on the endorsement contract money? |

I'm not a make-up fan either, although when I used to wear it. But stopped when the rednecks at coffee shop thought I was gay. Ok cheap shot.

One factor is my Avoidance Syndrome. Instead of fixing something, I'd start over (eg, instead of fixing my job, go out and get a new job). Life is screwed up, become a different person, or fantasize about it. Another is that I am a pleaser. I identify with women who talk about how that has kept them from taking care of their own needs, and how hard it was to please a controlling dominant father. A lot of guys talk about how when they were younger felt they could do anything and had lots of confidence. I always felt inadequate and don't identify with that. I don't like the posturing of career-oriented men. I do it real well, but it is a strain to put up the facade. After talking with some women about this, it is a case of the grass being greener on the other side. Women can be tough on each other too. Finally, men are plain. Women have a lot of freedom of expression with makeup and the variety of clothing they can wear. It seems like it's more fun to be female. :ivy: |

Ginger by Lush John Frieda Volumising Hairspray Bacon & egg baguettes with HP Sauce Rita Queen of Speed (ride) at Alton Towers (theme park) btw is Clinique considered a less expensive brand or have I read that wrong? Clarins & Clinique are considered quite posh among us admin staff. We get trial sizes of the skincare & eke them out so that we smell expensive. Slumming it would be buying Superdrug's own label brand.... (which is on my bathroom shelf at the moment!) |
I hereby endorse Achewood. It takes about three months of reading it to even comprehend it at all. But having put in that time, I cannot look away.

It is quite the Politically Correct thing to say "I like no makeup". In fact, done right, a girl with makeup will turn heads.
It is well known in marketing that people will say things in answering survey questions, yet they will act differently. Two years ago, a company found that people said they would be more likely to click on unobtrusive text ads than more prominant attention-grabbing text ads. The same people clicked on ads at over twice the rate at Ask Jeeves (prominant) than at Google (unobtrusive). People lie. |

I usually wear make-up when I go out and I prefer cream blush to the dry powder kind (goes on more smoothly for a natural look).

I'll go one step further. It's not the girl as much as it is the perception of the girl that matters more, at the ranges at which makeup has an influence, but before other forces come into play (social interaction, physical interaction) Makeup is important, like a good cover letter. But it's limited. Quote:
But wrt your point about makeup, it's a lot easier to do poorly than it is to do well, and perhaps for those "liars" that said they like no makeup, it's certainly possible that the "no makeup look" they say they like may well be makeup applied so skillfully that it is invisible. At least they can't see the makeup they're looking at, imagining (perceiving) the beauty to be all girl and no makeup. edit: I can't type for sh*t today. |
Based on this past weekend's experience, I must add:
Smoking Loon Merlot Yes, it's a real wine. Cool label too. http://www.smokingloon.com I have to see if I can find some of their screwcap wines as well. |
Quote:
One of my favorite parts in "Top Secret" was the waiter bringing the wine: "Your Thunderbird '69, sir..." - waiter unscrews the top, hands it to Val Kilmer to sniff the cap. The wine is poured, Val and chick get up to dance, and wine eats its way through the glass. |
Actually, it's "3 Loose Screws." And they have a very reasonable justification for screwcap instead of cork.
Go look. It's fun. |

I read RS's comment the way the thread played out. It's "in character". Oooh. You want cellar Cliffnotes? Get broadband access and kiss that dialup modem goodbye.
