What is a 'coast dress'??
Actually if I'm honest I couldn't really care less. I am however most enamoured with the female species for the vast amounts of effort they pour into their appearance. For what would the world be without the glitz, glamour and beehive hairdo's? And of course the sublime efforts of those trying to graciously traverse the room while holding back the pain their pointy high heeled shoes have gifted them. And for what? Their vanity and our satisfaction. Women of the world I salute you.

Haha!
It's a dress from a shop called Coast, although I think Monsoon is far better.

Monsoon do make some very pretty dresses if I recall right.

Yeah but Monsoon are a bit more fussy and I suit 'block' things more

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 24 Mar 2011, 9:23, Reply)

Monsoon are more on the bohemian side.
And coast are more classic.
( girlinthehole, Thu 24 Mar 2011, 9:29, Reply)

Aye that too.
I don't suit whispy things. I suit structured thngs with just one or two colours.
I hope so anyway, because that's what I wear!

All that preening is a bit of a turn off, to be honest
For example, all manner of 'done up' women have got on and off my train, probably been up since half six applying the war paint etc. Meh!

Then a few stops back, this one girl gets on. No make, flat shoes, long skirt, modest top. She looked absolutely radiant. Her slightly flushed cheeks were all the make up she needed. Absolutely gorgeous.

Oooo, Ooooo, yes! Let's do debate by anecdote!
I saw a girl who got on a train looking really average and then she put on a bit of make up and looked absolutely stunning.

So that's 50/50 now, anyone else want to contribute?

No debate I'm afraid
I was pointing out my preference regarding the appearance of women. Handily there was a perfect example fresh in my mind.

There is a very fine line between just enough and too much when it come to women getting done up.
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Thu 24 Mar 2011, 9:05, Reply)

I always think women look better without makeup.
But there does come a time when a bit of slap can help disguise the ravages of time. I can't wear makeup, and God knows I've tried.
( girlinthehole, Thu 24 Mar 2011, 9:08, Reply)

this is the truth.
I am a sucker for dark eye makeup though

(Me too)

Once again I am absolutely in accord with you, much prefer the natural look but dark shading to accentuate the eyes can look smokin'. If done right.

A bit of lippy and mascara is ok.

( girlinthehole, Thu 24 Mar 2011, 9:17, Reply)

I think it's rare that someone with lipstick looks better than without
particularly the shiny or sparkly stuff. That stuff looks fucking shit without exception
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 24 Mar 2011, 9:23, Reply)

I don't mean that sparkly stuff.
Just a bit of lip stain or nude lipstick can be nice.

Unless they can pull off that 'just a thin vertical line in the middle of their lower lip' thing
Like geisha or Queen Amidala.

Very specific tastes, eh Lab

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 24 Mar 2011, 9:30, Reply)

I'm not saying I ONLY like that look
Just that as far as lipstick goes, that can be a good look on the right gal.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 24 Mar 2011, 9:32, Reply)

Takes a remarkable amount of chutzpah to pull it off though
In all fairness, if someone did the geisha look and got it right, I'd have nought but respect for them

Seen a few Goth Geishas at Infest over the years
Most failed to hit the mark.

In 2008 I met a guy there called Kynan
who had developed a very simple game called InFest Bingo. Basically a printed list of things to look out for, notably "Manga Fail", "One man and his laptop" (one of the bands) and "WTF?!" (Nazi sympathiser). Plenty of the latter to be had last year as Nachtmahr were playing.

Nnnnngh
I promised myself I'd stop hassling you about InFest this year so am now struggling for a response that isn't "come to InFest this year". Umm... lovely weather, or something
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 24 Mar 2011, 9:52, Reply)

I'm not such a fan of lippy
Unless it's very subtle. It tends to act as a distraction at best and look garish at worst. But that's probably just because of my personal taste, I'm more attracted by eyes than lips
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 24 Mar 2011, 9:23, Reply)

I hate that nude lipstick stuff
that makes it look like the girl's lip blend into their face. It freaks me the fuck out
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Thu 24 Mar 2011, 9:25, Reply)

That's not nude.
Nude should match your natural lip colour to some extent.

you know which one I mean though? It looks like they have had their lips stolen
