Bacon dress!

Posted on Categories:Uncategorized Leave a comment

thanks to Ben for this link to the Bacon Dress. You can read much more about it here.

Of course, you’d want to equip with this and these. and don’t forget this. If you’re wearing it to a party (which I hope you are, because wearing a bacon dress to sit around at home and get grease on your own couch seems pretty sad), you could wrap a present in this. If someone gets too close to you with their fork, you could cover the resulting puncture wounds with these.

But I still don’t know what this is all about.

Condom Dresses, once again

Posted on Categories:Uncategorized Leave a comment

appears like the condom gown is an attention-getter that just doesn’t quit. since the last time I published about them there’s been an entire condom-clothing fashion show in China, to commemorate world population Day (and to publicize the 4th China Reproductive health and wellness new Technologies & products Expo, held in Beijing back in July).

What I want to understand is, why don’t I ever see any type of MEN’S garments constructed out of condoms? Aren’t they the ones who are supposed to be doing the covering up? Where are the three.jpgece condom business suits? I assumption it’s just one more instance of that old, tired story of birth manage being seen as completely the woman’s responsibility.

That said, this bit number is kinda cute. I’d like to see a re-interpretation of the condom gown where all the condoms were really ersatz condoms made from silk organza. (It would definitely be more comfortable to wear!)

If you click with on the photo you’ll see the original publish featuring the story, with all the stuff-made-from-condoms you might ever desire to see. however be careful, a few of the photos there look as if they may at any type of time ended up being Not risk-free For Work. as well as oh, lord, I can’t wait to see what type of ads Adsense serves as much as this post!

party tips!

Posted on Categories:Uncategorized Leave a comment

Jeannette Marie sent me a link to a pattern auction on eBay (from seller Farfalla design studio check them out, they have good stuff!) that included this gem:

This was a clipping that the seller found in the pattern! I don’t think I’m going to use any of these suggestions at my next party. Although I might pass this around to scare people. “Just imagine 10 or 12 young boys all yodeling at the same time”? No, thank you.

I like to imagine this sort of stuff was written by mostly-drunk, completely hard-boiled, oft-divorced newspapermen who were kept out WWII by bad ankles, and was hammered out on typewriters with stuck “j” keys …

I (shamefully) haven’t used these Paige Denim ‘Lola’ shorts in a while (last seen on ESD here), yet I was feeling snazzy this morning so I chose to see what I can work up out of my woefully chaotic storage room.

Luckily, I maintain one of my most relied on go-tos, this large candy striped shirt, in striking range in any way times. It’s light-weight enough for warm days, and with my white jacket-as-cape, I gathered a modified brief suit for job. The pairin

Paired with a strong scarf, she’s putting on a denim bag, a chambray tee shirt, a denim sports jacket and pants. That’s 4 pieces of denim, and you understand what? I can dig it. It’s not an appearance I could pull off myself, but she looks fashionable, amazing as well as entirely initial.

While I might not be able to deftly mix 4 items of denim at once, I love exactly how she has actually played with various laundries, as well as I assume it’s extremely inspiring. Her jacket is remarkable, and also I ‘d match it with white denims in a heart beat!

Just how around you? What’s one of the most denim you’ve ever used at once?

We’re quite lucky to be fashionistas in this day as well as age since there are tons of new products as well as techniques for us to try with respect to our manicures. Of course, with all the options currently offered for your nails, choosing the right one can definitely get a bit overwhelming. exactly how do you understand which is the best manicure for your nail health? And, since many of these techniques expense a quite penny, are they truly worth it?

This publish may contain affiliate links. See our privacy policy.

To response these questions as well as more, we’ve investigated some of the most typical nail treatments from your routine $15 manicure all the method to the costly Shellac nails that are sweeping the market. We’re going to tell you the pros as well as cons of each type of treatment, as well as then we’ll leave it up to you to choose exactly how to best keep your nails shiny as well as healthy.

The Best Manicures for Your Nail Health

Budget Fashionista Tip: utilize the Coupert browser extension to save at 1000s of online fashion shops.

1. The best: A fundamental manicure

You can’t go wrong with a routine manicure. Your technician will trim, shape, file, as well as buff your nails. He or she will likewise trim your cuticles as well as apply a cuticle oil treatment. Your hands may get some love, as well — some technicians will wrap your hands in warm towels, then apply lotion, as well as massage your palms as well as fingers. Optionally, you can have polish applied (though I love to go bare with a freshly buffed nail that shines like it has a clear coat).

Pros of the fundamental manicure

The common manicure is fairly inexpensive, with prices ranging from $10-20.
The common manicure helps protect your nail health.

Cons of the fundamental manicure

If you have polish applied, the flawless surface may not last long. You may even see chips the exact same day.
It takes time for your polish to dry as well as you can get smudges if you don’t wait it out.

2. Second-best: Gel manicure

Your gel manicure will comply with the exact same process as a common manicure, right up up until the polish application. When it’s time to add color, the technician will apply a number of layers of polish as well as then cure your nails under a UV light. A top coat is applied as well. when your gel manicure is dry, it’s truly dry. There’s no possibility you’ll smudge the polish as well as it shouldn’t chip for a number of days. This type of manicure costs $25 to $40 as well as takes about 45 minutes.

Pros of the gel manicure

Gel manicures are long-lasting. You can go up to two weeks without chipping.
Gel manicures look more natural than acrylic nails.
A gel manicure will enhance your nail as well as prevent tears as well as breaks.

Cons of the gel manicure

You should have a expert eliminate your gel polish. DIY removal can be agonizing as well as can damage your nail.
You are more restricted in your color choices.

3. Honorable mention: Stick-on nails

Stick-on nails are a DIY choice that provides excellent results. You don’t get the benefit of a hand massage or cuticle treatment, however your nails will look nice as well as you won’t spend much. If you’re old sufficient to keep in mind the very first generation of Lee Press-On Nails, you may be reluctant to go this route. That’s understandable. understand that stick-on nails have come a looong method since then, as well as they really do look rather nice.

You’ll discover many of the options at stores like Walmart are geared for the younger crowd. If you can’t discover something subtle sufficient for your tastes, shop for stick-on nails online.

Pros of stick-on nails

Stick-on nails are affordable at less than $10 a set.
Stick-on nails are low commitment. They usually come off with nail polish remover.
Stick-on nails don’t damage your nail unless you eliminate them improperly.

Cons of stick-on nails

Stick-on nails aren’t as durable as acrylics.
Stick-on nails can be difficult to apply just completely if you are less coordinated with your non-dominant hand.

4. The worst manicure: Acrylic nails

Acrylic nails have been around for a long time — they were extremely prominent in the 80s. They are made from a blend of liquid monomer as well as powder polymer that’s mixed as well as applied over your natural nail. as well as other chemicals. Polish is applied over the top. You can get a gel coating over your acrylic nails, too.

Acrylic nails are difficult as well as durable. They do break as well as pop off occasionally, however they’ll commonly last up until your nail beds grow out. understand that they don’t look excellent as they are growing out — so you wouldn’t truly get acrylic nails unless you’re committed to the salon see every two weeks to have them filled. The preliminary application of your nails can expense you $50 or more as well as fills will be $35 as well as up.

Pros of acrylic nails

Acrylic nails are durable.

Cons of acrylic nails

Acrylic nails don’t look natural; they are extremely thick.
Acrylic nails are poor for your nail health. Bacteria can quickly develop around your nail beds. If you keep them on for long periods of time, your nails will be extremely weak as well as thin when you eliminate them.
An acrylic manicure takes up to an hour as well as a half, though maintenance fills are quicker.
Acrylics have to be filled every two weeks.

If you want the best manicure for your nail health, go to the salon as well as get the standard. For the longest-lasting finish, skip the polish as well as have your nails buffed up until they shine.
