Gal Talk thread for all the ladies !!!
 

Enough politics and computers for a while...

What guys look hot? What beauty tips can you share? Where do you like to shop? More !!!

Some folks said that The Last Samari had too much Tom Cruise. That may have been true, but he was still a hunk.

Anyone have any experience with Eyelash Tinting? I was thinking about trying that. I don't wear makeup to work, but I do when going out and to parties and such. My skin and hair are light and you can't really see my eyelashes. I was thinking that darkening my eyelashes would look good even without makeup.

Girltalk! Ooh how much fun this will be!!

I find that I prefer the scent and effectiveness of Hoppes No. 9, but will make do with Shooter's Choice in a pinch.

So, the guys that you date like when you wear Hoppes No. 9 instead of Chanel No. 5 ?

what fun!!!
 

What guys look hot?

Besides mine...;)

Gotta agree with the hunkdom that is Tom Cruise. I've always had a thing for him, and what REALLY sealed the deal for me is when he did Mission Impossible...Lawdha'mercy he was yummy! :D

Lessee, who else? Just off the top of my head: Brad Pitt (CLEAN, not mountain man dirty), George Clooney (he has that classic movie star look), Pierce Brosnan (sp??), the perfect James Bond (imo), Colin Ferrell (sp??), that bad boy aspect, David Gahan (lead singer for Depeche Mode)..gosh, too many to list! ;)


What beauty tips can you share?

Gosh...um, well, if you use an eyeliner pencil, and you need to make it darker on your lid, light a match to it for a couple of seconds. (Sheesh, that tip sounds so old now!) :p


Where do you like to shop? More !!!

Now you're talking. Shopping! (Syc, look away! LOL!)

I'm an "old school" mall rat from the 80s, so any mall is fine with me (although I tend to favor the more "upscale" malls. Around here, for me, that would be King Of Prussia mall, but that's a drive from my house, so Franklin Mills will do). As far as specific stores, anything to do with electronics, gadgets, shiny things, music, coffee or photography will catch my eye.

And believe it or not, I love to get out there and shop. All this shopping online takes away from the "hunt"...lol. I don't shop online anyway, and IMO, I'm not missing anything (except maybe an outrageous credit card bill).

Eyelash tinting works best if you bleach them first. Just apply some houshold bleach with a q tip, look up and blink a lot. It might smart a little at first, but that's just the beauty soaking in.

No, that's trashy. Sheesh.

<hint>But a little dab of BreakFree behind each ear will get 'em every time!</hint> :yum:

Hm....let's see...all the men I think are hot are dead....well, most of them...the guy who played the Prince of the City on Kindred: The Embrace....he's pretty... the kind of man you just want to LOOK at...got killed in a harley accident, though. What a waste...Armand Assante...now THAT was a sexy man, and had a voice on him....he died of a stroke, though....Hm....living sexy men...Sir Anthony Hopkins...that voice, that carriage....Nigel Bennet, who plays Lacroix on Forever Knight...he's not cute, but again, he's got the way of carrying himself, and a voice like a warm blanket and hot chocolate.... Tom Cruise is cute, but he's just cute. I like his smile, but I really don't find him "sexy." I guess I just go more for voices and the way a man carries himself...calll me shallow....lol

Perfume....I like vanilla, vanilla musk, Sand and Sable, or Perceive. There's a perfume called Indian Musk that has vanilla, honeysuckle and gardenia in it. It's hard to find a company that doesn't test on animals, though, when looking for vanilla. Coty makes wonderful scents, but they test on animals, so I don't buy from them... *sigh*

Where do I like to shop? Dunno...I'm not really a shopping person. I avoid stores unless I don't have a choice. Generally, if I see clothes I like, I buy them, regardless of where they come from. I'm not overly impressed with labels. I'm more interested in whether I like it, whether it looks good on me, and whether I can afford it. I like raw silk, though, and that isn't easy to find. When you wash raw silk, it gets soft and cuddly like flannel *grins*

Sidhe.

Oh, gotta add Val Kilmer. He's not only a good actor, but he's got that carriage and voice too (think Doc Holliday...he can be MY huckleberry any day...lol...btw, did anyone notice in the movie, when he spins those two revolvers? He spins them in opposite directions. That takes dexterity, and as all women know, dexterity is a GOOD thing in a man...)

Hm...don't wear makeup unless I have to. But I have to say that my mother's advice was the best I've found so far: wear makeup in such a way that it doesn't look like you're wearing makeup. That way it enhances your looks and appears natural...

Re: Gal Talk thread for all the ladies !!!
 

Me. Duh!

Do you tint at home?

I was going to have it done at my salon; they do it for $29.99 a visit; but it looks like it would need to be done every 4-6 weeks, ouch!

And, thanks gals, for showing up -- Wolf was making me feel like I was Paris Hilton (not really).

Keep in mind personality completes the package: My husband. Mel Gibson. Jeff Goldblum. Denzel Washington. George Clooney looks better and better all the time. Scott Bakula. Brad Pitt. Cuba Gooding Jr.

If you've never had a facial, get one. One day I was getting my nails done, and I saw they did waxing and facials, so I got the whole thing and my best friend said I looked 10 years younger. And the facial massage felt WONDERFUL. I felt so pampered. Inner confidence makes EVERYONE look better.

Oh, and use conditioner mascara when you aren't wearing the black mascara. As a blonde, I know all about how your eyes seem to disappear if you don't have mascara/eyeliner on, but I found that wearing mascara everyday make my lashes brittle and they broke off, leaving bald patches. So I started using eyelash conditioner, which is clear, when I'm not wearing regular mascara, and I've noticed a big difference.

I like mall shopping. Being a girl of the 80's, the mall was the ONLY place to go, and I still go there when I need something specific. Now, I very rarely window shop. I feel that if you have no money, window shopping is just teasing yourself with alllll the great stuff you can't buy.

Of course, give me $1000 and a wal mart, I will shop my ASS off. Wal Mart and the dollar store. mmmmmm.

The last movie I went to the theatre to see..was...um...Pirates of the Caribbean. I saw it on opening night in Vegas, and a couple of the stunt pirates were there. It was cool. I won a t-shirt.

My mom does that, and she gets the tattoo'd eyeliner, too, and lipstick. she gets up, brushes her hair and BLAM! she's good to go. I'd do it, but dannnng....I don't want to deal with the pain of needles in my eyelids...my mom says it hurts like a bitch, but you get used to it. Yeah. I'll draw the shit on everyday, thanks.

Guys,

A famous identity that i would most definately choose as my number one is probably not a common one for a girl of my age, considering he is old enough to be my father, but my knees go weak for John Travolta (not so much grease years but more the Swordfish/ Basic johnny we are blessed to lay our eyes on today) the way he carries himself, his acting/singing/dancing/family/academic and moral talents just make me lullllll even more. And he is every bit a picture of the perfect looking man that i could ever imagine up. ahhhhhhhhh....

make up,

My style changes weekly, but i agree with the natural look being the utmost essential, too much is TOO MUCH! ive never had a facial onyx, (or a wax....... ouch!) but one day i will. they sound fantastic.

I dont use foundation i use a bronzer instead, i couldnt live without it, i bronze lightly all over my neck, arms face, then use the brush a little heavier over my cheekbones, and add a little more to your lips and cover with clear gloss and your face , cheeks and lips all match!! looks really great, sun kissed and natural.

Sun

;)

BLOOD!! what?!?!! it bled,, oh lord i feel faint.

After you had the wax treatment did you find the hair grew back thicker or thinner?

ive often thought about getting my bikini lines done, instead of shaving them but always chickened out. i cant fathom the thought of getting naked in front of someone i dont know (who isnt a doctor) and asking them to do that... there!! i would just go bright red!!

sycamore will do it for you. He's not a doctor, but he played one on tv.

Yeah, and I've seen plenty of vaginas in my day...they basically all look the same.

not true!


PS....ladies, if we're mucking up your thread, just tell us to get the fuck out!

oh yeah :rolleyes:

I dunno, Jim...there are different colors, different hair "patterns" and different smells...but as a whole, they pretty much look the same to me.

Although, maybe you're right...fuck, I took NyQuil an hour ago...

Hey, I like that idea - conditioner mascara. Gotta try that.

i saw a whole show (real sex?) about them once...they had names for them and all....i remember one being called "wolf" and maybe "butterfly"

plus, although, I've never seen one, I have it on good authority that asian ones go side to side!


oh, and i think the word "vagina" is more offensive than "c:censored:".......at least to say out loud.....didn't bother me much to type it, tho

Jimbo, leave the ladies to their thread and come over and join us in the MAN thread!

Re: Gal Talk thread for all the ladies !!!
 

this a great idea for a thread gwennie, when i moved to the country with my BF for two years, "girlie chat" is something that you go crazy without. the gossip, the advice and general bitching is golden and i didnt realise how precious until i went nutty without it! guys just dont get it.

Most of my shopping is at the mall, why would you go anywhere else? seperate stand alone shops that you actually want to go to are too far and between that its not worth it unless your running in for one particular thing. (and who does that!! : )

sorry, cougar, i was being serious...i don't like that word. it makes me uncomfortable....

TOUCHE'

:D

Thanks Sun, but I have to admit that I got this idea from another forum site that I've been on for a couple of years. (That place got into some fighting, and I stumbled across this place.)

The same thread idea turns out different with a new group of people and different stories.

Sorry to bust in on the Ladies Only thread, but I did put on a dress before typing this...

I just wanted to point out that Armand Assante is *not* dead, unless he died today...

Yeah, but not the one who died in the beginning...he was the asshole French doctor husband.

keeping the ball rolling
 

I dont know what the wonderful world of fashion and footwear is doing over there but here in sydney ppl are going crazy for pointy toed heels!! I personally dont understand it and think they would be the most uncomfortable things ever!! and they cost a mint.

Any other fashion disaters or monstrosities we can talk about girls??

Fashion Clue from Guys to Women #147:

Pointy-toed heels = Fuck Me Shoes.

really!! wow el, i never would have thought that i thought fu(k me shoes are the black knee high boots.

so do you mean these look sexy, or they just make you look desperate.

Guys generally don't look that deep. When he says they say "fuck me", that's all he means. :D

REALLY? Cool! I was told about a year ago that Armand Assante had died of a stroke or something, and I haven't seen him in anything lately, so....That yummy man is still alive...hoodeehoo!!

A womens work...

Does anyone else find that the words "new and improved," when applied to feminine convenience products, means "thinner, less absorbent, and more prone to leaks?"

wolf is a girl??!

No. Wolf is a woman. :joylove:

I lack any background in that area, but I was amused recently when I made the weekly haul to the grocery store and Mrs. Dallas asked me to pick up some of these products for her, and I found that one product was labelled both "regular" and "ultra". How can anything be both at the same time? :confused:

just avert your eyes from the shelf, glance furtively up and down the aisle, and stash it behind the beer

;) Absolutely..hehe! Oh, and yes, Val Kilmer. OOO, when he played Jim Morrison...Good golly miss molly! LOL.

Added "menzzz" to the list: Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes, Blair Underwood, Taye Diggs, Micheal Beach, Djimon Hounsou, Larenz Tate, Mario Van Peebles...lawd! :D

You know, there is only one other time in my life I've heard the phrase "hoodeehoo", and that was on a Rainmakers album. You aren't by chance a Rainmakers fan, are you?

Because there are probably Regular Ultra and Ultra Ultra and Super Ultra Ultra and Dries Up the Gulf of Mexico varieties, and you gotta be able to keep 'em straight.

They tried labelling them that way, but they didn't sell as well.

Re: keeping the ball rolling
 

Pointy shoes like Manolo Blahniks? Nice shoes, too expensive. My feet would not survive 5 minutes in those things, but they ARE fierce looking.

Can't say that I have a fashion pet peeve because most "fashionable" things I can't wear anyway...they seem to only be made for the thin woman, which I am not, and haven't been since I was 8! Heh, I guess that IS my pet peeve about fashion...:p

Argh, I'm in agony! I would LOVE to have owned those type of shoes (which I call "fetish gear".) I suppose it's the inner domina in me...oops did *I* say that? ;) But seriously, high heeled boots and shoes are such sexy accessories!

I liked him better during the "Moonlighting" and "Die Hard" days. Somehow, his bald head distracts me...

Quote:

And the lead singer from creed is good lookin... and the rock, when he has long hair, like in the scorpion king, but NOT bald... he just looks nasty bald... I'd do patrick stewart too, but only if he talked to me during. and Sean COnnery... OMG... just talk to me in a Scottish brogue and I get all.. well, never mind...

Haha! The dude from Creed...hell yes. And the guy from Incubus too. *cheesy grin*. The Rock...indeed. Patrick Stewart...never will there be a better Professor Charles Xavier (X-Men). Connery kinda scares me now, but years ago, oh hell yes.

you forgot Lumberjim's sense of humor...that's ok, i'll assume it was inferred
