Navy is probably too dark, but here anyway.

$86 and dyeable

Ugh, that''s all so far...

sunnyd I *really* like those dyeable ones...

Yay I helped!

LOL...

Okay, sorry to interrupt the shoe talk, but....am I the only one that tells myself I''m totally okay having pictures w/out make up taken, and then sees them and deletes/untags them? My friend took pictures of me with her baby, and they''re honestly some of the worst pictures I''ve ever seen of myself. Truly awful. One or two are cute, but the others...oh my. I see those pictures and honestly pray that everybody''s so busy looking at the baby that they ignore the fact that I''m in the picture all together.

Okay. Glad I got that out.

 

[Erinleigh]

Elle, I LOVE those Kate Spade shoes...
But I also really like the dyeable ones sunnyd found. Don''t think you can really go wrong with a peep-toe

There is no interrupting in Small Talk. Defeats the purpose.

And I don''t remember the last time I allowed someone to take a picture of me without makeup. I look embarassingly bad and I''d probably cry if I saw the picture.

I know people always say you never look as bad to other people as you do to yourself, but seriously... when I take bad pictures I take BAD pictures.

I would untag too.

 

[CNOS128]

I''m just really unphotogenic, makeup or not. Which is probably why I had my minor wedding photo disappointment (which I''m getting over). But there''s no shame in untagging an unflattering picture!! You have an image to uphold!

I always hate candids because I get the fat face double chin thing going. Horrible.

I''m terrified of looking hideous in all of my wedding photos.

Oh you won''t.

I know I need to practice sticking my chin out at all times though to avoid the dreaded fat face.

LOL. Yeah. I also need to practice not slouching. I always slouch because I want to appear shorter, but then I look fatter! Blah!

 

[CNOS128]

Practice smiling so you don''t end up with a stupid grin, like me!!

 

[ladypirate]

Oh man--I just hate pictures of me in general. Makeup doesn''t matter much, especially since I almost never wear any.

Blech.

 

[princesss]

Yeah, well, I look like the "Before" picture on an Proactiv commercial, so I''m definitely not liking the pictures. I''ve been trying to wear less make up (less make up = less clogging, right?) but it''s not working. Back to full coverage. LAME.

I''m sure you don''t look like an acne medicine commercial!!

But I think the mineral foundation (Bare Minerals, etc) are supposed to help the complexion. Have you tried?

That''s what I was using!

I was using the Neutrogena kind, but my problem is it comes off and I don''t reapply, so I look like I''ve got chicken pox or something. It''s bad. REALLY bad.

 

[misskitty]

Afternoon, ladies!

I''m a chronic picture untagger, too. My friends make fun of me for it.

I love Physician''s Formula because it''s good for not clogging. The talc-free stuff is great on sensitive skin!

Hmm... was it Bia who was applying to work at the NYC Dept of Mental Health? I know she''s away, but I just submitted my application for a fall internship there...Maybe we''ll work together someday!

That would be funny! I''d have to be jealous though, because I have a girl crush on Bia.

It''s kind of a longshot - I''ve been applying to everything that I''m remotely interested in....

[purselover]

Yay, glad you got those, they were really cute!

Bah.. I know the feeling. I''m applying to *everything* that offers more money than I currently make. Even though I swore up and down that once I leave here, I''d never answer phones again...

OK, I am officially a nerd. An unemployed nerd with too much time on her hands.

Guess what I did this morning? I learned the thriller dance with my (also unemployed) sisters. Think I can put that on a resume?

LOL.

PLEASE put that on a resume. I must know the results. Consider it an experiment.
