I wish I had your girl-smarts
I have no idea how to straighten/curl/whatever my hair. I'm not even sure what it's meant to be. Did you attend some kind of girl-skills class?

i'm not brilliant with hair
mine is just below collar bone length, and i can cope with (i) straighteners; (ii) curlers; (iii) paying a hairdresser. 9/10 i resort to (iii). but make-up i love, i do all my friends' make-up for weddings etc.

i hardly wear it during the week though, i don't think it's that good for your skin/wrinkles.

these things are all beyond me
I have a hair brush and a spare hairbrush for when it goes missing. I can only do make up because I asked some dude on a counter at boots

i keep meaning to do a hair blowdrying course
it would save me about 80quid a week!

You see, you like to boast a lot about how good you are at blowjobs
but I'm yet to see any evidence.
(Bazongaloid, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:21, Reply)

the evidence is swallowed usually

i can't improve on this answer

( rachelswipe with a fork, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:23, Reply)

I quite liked it myself
I'm obviously on some sort of slightly sick roll
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:25, Reply)

Or on her little black dress

(Bazongaloid, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:23, Reply)

I really doubt
that she would let anyone come on her little black dress. They're far too expensive for that
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:24, Reply)

one of the last ones
came all over my little black skirt. i had to throw it away, nothing removes that kind of shameful stain.

he was totally not worth the skirt either!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:29, Reply)

I'm not being funny
but as a young teenager, I would wank into any handy bit of clothing that needed washing, and I never found the stains sticking around
(Bazongaloid, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:31, Reply)

that is a truly horrifying image
but if it's black, nothing gets spunk out. believe me. i am a designer skirt worse off!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:33, Reply)

You must have met someone with highly concentrated spunk

(Bazongaloid, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:35, Reply)

tbh
i was whinging about it to my friend at work, and she said the exact same thing - "nothing gets spunk out".

stupid sperm.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:39, Reply)

your clothes probably
weren't dry clean only
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:34, Reply)

Firstly, this ^
Secondly, that's a horrific amount of money a week.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:19, Reply)

it's two trips a week at 40 a trip
not sure if that makes it seem better or worse
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:22, Reply)

Much worse

(Bazongaloid, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:23, Reply)

how so?

( rachelswipe with a fork, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:24, Reply)

Well, you bother to get your hair dried by someone twice a week

(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:26, Reply)

well, yes
i have a lot of work functions for which i need to look super smart!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:27, Reply)

You're an intelligent person, clearly
and yet despite watching someone blow drying your hair twice a week you haven't worked out how to do it yourself.
(Bazongaloid, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:30, Reply)

To be fair
there is a knack to it. I blowdry my hair but when a professional does it the difference is clearly noticeable
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:31, Reply)

Yes, the difference is that you are lighter in the wallet
to the tune of two nights in the pub.
(Bazongaloid, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:32, Reply)

I don't have that kind of money
and even if I did I wouldn't pay that.

I'm saying though that the difference is clear.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:33, Reply)

the salons around my office
are all the same price, clearly they have co-ordinated
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:35, Reply)

don't make me get all technical
let's just say it's much harder to do it on yourself. and they give you a nice head massage and everything!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:32, Reply)

The head massage is hugely important

( rachelswipe with a fork, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:35, Reply)

You seem back to your usual self

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:36, Reply)

bit shaky and dizzy still
but i managed to eat some plain rice and have not been sick, so i am on the mend!

*gets down on knees and thanks God*

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:39, Reply)

Worse if anything

(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:24, Reply)

doesn't hair just get dryer?

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:18, Reply)

no
a decent blowdry is better for it than straightening it. stupid curls!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:19, Reply)

I should probably never be at a bash where you are
not that I wouldn't want to meet you, but I think comparatively I'd look like a tramp. I dry my hair by sleeping on it
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:25, Reply)

don't be daft!
i just need all the help i can get, is all.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:26, Reply)

i wear clothes I buy in supermarkets
and the last time I had my haircut was a year and a half ago (before that 7 years)
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:28, Reply)

I own a lot of supermarket clothes
I feel a bit bad, because I'm sure they're ethically dubious
(Bazongaloid, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:29, Reply)

well stop buying them, then!

( rachelswipe with a fork, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:30, Reply)

To be honest
they are probably no worse than M&S or Next and almost certainly no worse than Gap, which are the other shops I buy most of my clothes from.
(Bazongaloid, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:33, Reply)

yeah, but I hate shopping
and have no idea, so I usually buy them when I'm really short of trouser or something and it's getting embarrassing
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:30, Reply)

just do what I do
make a list of what you want then spend a bit of time on the net looking for it on ebay and a standard few sites. It's handy to check sizes in the stores and know what sort of size you need- for example in GAP I wear a medium if it's any sort of top, but won't fit any of the dresses because they're tinily cut on top. Same for French Connection- size 12 or medium is fine, except for their fitted shirts where I'd get a 14. Once you know the sizes just shop on their online stores
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:40, Reply)

This is far to well though out.
My system usually goes:

1) See
2) Buy
3) Regret
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:42, Reply)

I never have any idea what suits me
I'm a fatty, so most trendy things look ridiculous and so pale that many colours make me look sick.
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:42, Reply)

You didn't look fat
in the picture of you I saw :)
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:43, Reply)

man, I forgot I posted a picture once, but thanks
I'm a size 18, that's fat enough to look stupid in most clothes
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:46, Reply)

Size 18? Really?
You looked very waif like in that purple dress you were wearing.

Unless of course I'm confusing you with someone else. You're the LARP love aren't you?
(Bazongaloid, Sat 6 Nov 2010, 23:49, Reply)

I'm the larper
and i think the only picture I've posted is the one in my wedding frock (kinda dark red?)
