Ambrosia, is your hair naturally straight? Just wondering. Post after pics, cause for some reason I'm really fascinated.

Nah. Between straight and wavy - it's got the smooth texture and cuticle, and straightens out very easily, and then settles into LARGE curls. Like, paddle brush + blowdryer = almost stick straight. At first

10/25/2010 3:46:44 PM

lol since going to your salon's website all my google ads and facebook ads are Colorado based.

Ambrosia, if you add a side-swept bang, it will REALLY fix the overall look.

It'll also add more femininity and soften it up so it's not so sharp/harsh..

I'd leave the rest alone and let it grow out on its own.

I like this blog...has it been mentioned in here before?

i got my haircut. off the total length was like 4 inches

it doesn't look that different in these pics, they are shitty. but i have side bangs, which are out of my face here so you can't tell and admittedly annoy the SHIT out of me. but they look cute when my hair is up.

and i have a bunch of layers. my old shape was still a bob shape from last jan when i had my last haircut (whoops) so it was really long and i wasn't into it anymore. now i have layers and bangs and its considerably shorter than it was! but still not ultra short. looks slightly longer in these pics cause i'm leaning over kinda. it def looks healthier than it did at least. my split ends were bad!!!

thanks!! this is the same one you've already seen (haircut)! but i did it at hair color xperts or whatever. i don't have a normal haircutter but one day after work i was like i cannot stand my dry, split end hair anymore. hadn't cut since jan last year and like when i washed it i couldn't even get my fingers through it. so i made an appt there cause i couldn't afford an $$$ cut at the time. i got paid this week and prob should have waited but oh well!!! i got it cut with a flamboyantly gay man named charles at hair color xperts hahaha. he was hilarious and tried to talk to me about glee. but i don't watch glee. sad.

^ haha thanks

can anyone recommend a lady parts doctor that works at a general practice in Raleigh? I think my copay is lower if I don't go see a "specialist" which apparently planned parenthood is. I just need my yearly check up done but I also want to be able to go in if I've got the flu or something non lady parts related.

help? would be great if they were in North Raleigh but I have gps so i'll travel

10/27/2010 11:29:11 PM

So, went to goodwill today to pick up some halloween stuff and ended up finding a Lambskin Leather Valentino Jacket and its in awesome shape. I wish it fit me. I bought it anyway and hope to sell it. Any ideas of where I might take it?

10/28/2010 1:07:07 AM

what size?

check out revolver or a good consignment place...word

10/28/2010 1:23:32 AM

Its a size 8. Im going to post some pictures ladder and check with revolver tommorow. I didn't know where else though. I know there are a few places in 5 points

10/28/2010 1:26:43 AM

well that's awesome

I hope you get lots of $$$$ for it

10/28/2010 1:28:20 AM

meee tooo girl. Price aside I would keep it for myself if it fit

10/28/2010 1:29:59 AM

khcadwal you should watch Glee because it is fabulous

[Edited on October 28, 2010 at 1:36 AM. Reason : also I think I'd look good with hair that looks kinda like that screenshot, only longer

10/28/2010 1:35:18 AM

I have a presentation today and don't want to wear my suit pants + button-down (for the 1,000th time)

How does this look? (ps: the skirt is only 2 inches above my knee, so I don't know why it looks so shorter in the pic than in the mirror... but anyways, white blouse + tweed skirt + black tights + black booties)





I'm leaving soon so I'd like someone to speak up

10/28/2010 12:05:27 PM

Got a cardigan?

10/28/2010 12:09:15 PM

I like it! I say go with it, Sam. 1 vote yes

10/28/2010 12:09:34 PM

The print on the skirt looks kind of animal-print-ish or something in the picture. I like the look a lot but not the way the pattern on the skirt looks. So if that is just a camera thing, go for it. Otherwise I think the skirt would need to be a little simpler to be really presentation-appropriate.

10/28/2010 12:09:39 PM

Not one that matches... keep in mind, I'm in AL and it's a high of 70 today hopefully I won't sweat on the way to class

[Edited on October 28, 2010 at 12:10 PM. Reason : ^ oh definitely not animal print... I guess you could call it a mini checkerboard pattern?]

10/28/2010 12:10:15 PM

The bottom half is fine, wish the skirt was a tish longer

Top half needs a cardi

10/28/2010 12:10:33 PM

ambrosia get some extensions

help I need to make an appointment before I get fired from my job which might be soon

10/28/2010 1:06:34 PM

I'd recommend somebody but I hated my general doctor before I left raleigh. I do recommend Dr. Allison Jacokes of Associates in Women's health.

10/28/2010 1:28:37 PM

I use http://www.capitalareaobgyn.com/. I see Dr. Gausmann at the Cary location but she also works at the Raleigh one. I like her.

10/28/2010 1:43:42 PM

^^^I go to Dr. Stacy Bauer at Blue Ridge Family Practice


its over by the fairgrounds

[Edited on October 28, 2010 at 1:44 PM. Reason : g]

10/28/2010 1:44:47 PM

well, she wants a recommendation for a non-OB/GYN. anyone like theirs?

10/28/2010 1:45:24 PM

I thought she just wanted a doc who would do non-gyn care too. I wasn't aware general practice doctors did "lady parts" stuff.

[Edited on October 28, 2010 at 1:50 PM. Reason : though I admittedly know very little about these things]

10/28/2010 1:48:38 PM

some regular docs will do a papsmear and routine stuff

10/28/2010 2:33:16 PM

Most of your family doctors/general practitioners will do routine Gyn exams.

10/28/2010 2:47:33 PM

thanks Ladies

tigi pro hair dryer
linea pro flat iron
pink mini flat iron
giant bedazzled brush

all for $55

10/30/2010 9:01:41 AM

sorry for the double post

A while ago I was asking for help on finding a new foundation and I wanted to update you.

I decided to try out Tarte's Smooth Operator tinted moisturizer. I really like it so far. It's got a lot of pigment so it's more like a foundation but it's not at all mask feeling. It's all natural ingredients with a bunch of plant extracts and whatever is in it calms down a lot of my redness in my nose and cheeks and so far it hasn't broken me out. I'll report back if it does but so far I like it.

10/30/2010 9:38:11 AM

I know I don't participate much in this thread, but I do lurk a lot.
I apologize, but I am going to bombard you with pictures of these beautiful things that I Waaaannnnttttt!!!

I want these gloves


And I want this jacket


Or maybe this one (but I don't think my boobs will work with it )

10/30/2010 2:34:00 PM

TroopofEchos I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU JUST POSTED!! I would like to dress like the people from the Sweeney Todd play and that is what those photos remind me of. SO AWESOME!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those striped tights, and the boots and the jackets....PLEASURE OVERLOAD!!! I bet it is all expensive.

such a cute dress

10/30/2010 5:18:15 PM

Yeah Jackie Kennedy

do you guys think it would be ok if I did black eyeshadow under my mask? I don't want to slut it up or anything

10/30/2010 5:19:01 PM

go for it Sam! Doesn't she wear some?

10/30/2010 5:21:19 PM

nah pretty sure she doesn't... but I know both Red Mist and Big Daddy would put black around their eyes for their masks so the holes didn't look weird

plus this way if the mask gets annoying I'll still be nice looking and not like whoa busted
