*sorry*
I haven't seen a single person wear THAT kind of headband and look anything other than silly, and raccoon tails are ridiculous. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this from Elizabethan England, and weren't they known as "flea-catchers"?
D'ya *really* want that hanging out by yer bum?
Oh, and leave the suspenders and newsboys caps alone.

@travelmugs : It's not Deschanel, actually--it's Tavi Gevison from Fashion Rookie who really made enormous bows a thing.

@acefreakly : Ooo! I love me some Kiss My Face Peaches lotion! Do give it a test run, as it has AHA in it, and may not be bueno for all skin types. For the record, I have SUPER sensitive skin, breakouts, and occasional dry bits, and I love that this lotion encourages new cell growth. Maybe ask for a sample at Whole Foods?

@rewil: Corn chips? Wow. I wonder if that's like some folks can smell asparagus in their pee and others can't?
I loved "Gorgeous" and "Lovely Jubblies", but was totally nonplussed by "Enzymion". I think it's like so many things--find what works for you and stick with it...until your skin changes.
As mine does.
Every five years.

@werewolfbarmitzvah: Yeah...they can be seriously pushy. I've found that a good way around that is to get to know my local store well enough that when I walk in, I can say "hi", find out about new products, and generally be left alone.
(...I'm also really good at giving a "fuck-off" vibe to salespeople)
(apparently)
Do ask for samples--it's the best way to discover what products work for *your* skin without dropping a ton of cash. :)
@everyone else: I AM NOT ALONE IN MY CHECK USING THANK THE GODS.

...I still use checks. For rent! Seriously, just for rent!
...and dance class.
...and also...other things.

The Girls and I were chatting about buying a pot of LUSH's "Gorgeous" and splitting it between the three of us--brings it down to $30 each, which ain't bad, and it is made of love, unicorns, and probably the blood of virgins.
@werewolfbarmitzvah: I tried rubbing my face on my Corgi to get some of her cuteness, but I just started sneezing instead. Try LUSH's "Skin Drink" or "Gorgeous". For serious, they are awesome.

@Rosemary McClure : Lesbians should *always* be able to wear suspenders and wifebeaters.
