A bun?

That's my default pull-back, anyway. I usually just wrap it around and get out my octopus hair clip.

7/23/2007 2:39:04 PM

I'm reluctant to do a bun because I have such a fat face

I guess what I want is some half up-do.

7/23/2007 2:40:03 PM

7/23/2007 2:43:21 PM

ooooooooh

is that just a twisted ponytail? (you know, like that inverted ponytail that was so hot in the 90s?)

7/23/2007 2:45:00 PM

i think it's a loose short french braid, like maybe 5 plaits at the back of the head. it's kind of annoying cuz you can't see it, i assume she's got some sort of sparkly barette holding it all together

7/23/2007 2:48:53 PM

French braids are out

I can't do them myself, and my bf...well, he's a fucking CSC grad

7/23/2007 2:49:33 PM

that would look good on you and it's pretty simple. Just put some product in your hair and scrunch it up a bit.

^CSC students can be taught

7/23/2007 2:53:24 PM

even just a simple half up/half down with a fancier barrette i think would look good. or i think you could do the inverted ponytail and make it look sort of like the fishtail french braid.

I would get every pair of shoes they have and then sell them on eBay. Too bad you can't really do that!

7/24/2007 7:29:15 PM

^ Definitely wouldn't sell them. But I would use the money I saved from not buying shoes to build a new closet to fit them all

What is a good spa close to campus?

7/30/2007 4:52:34 PM

so I'm planning on cutting my hair on aug 11th..any opinions on the style I should get?

7/30/2007 6:54:14 PM

Is there a bebe at Crabtree now? It's been awhile since I've been but I want to say I remember them building one

Also, fun party dresses. Going to Vegas in Sept and I want to get one or two fun party dresses since it'll be A, hot and B, I don't think I can pull off wearing my favorite holy jeans out like I normally do . Advice on any stores besides Charlotte Russe, Bebe, Guess, Cache, and Express (and its affiliates) that you'd suggest?

8/8/2007 12:26:03 PM

LK, go to Wardrobe at Cameron Village

8/8/2007 12:28:06 PM

yes there's a bebe upstairs now

also, forever21 is building a HUUUUUGE store down by Macys which i assume will be done by the end of summer. right now, you can find forever21 stuff in "gadzooks." you also have charlotte russe, wet seal, cache (if you want to find something a bit more expensive that will last longer), hudson belks upstairs department (they sell bcbg, betsy johnson, cynthia steffe, etc)

8/8/2007 12:28:11 PM

totally forgot about belk--thanks! and if F21 is done before I go I'm definitely there--I loooved shopping there when I used to go to Wilmington all the time

i'll check this wardrobe place out as well

[Edited on August 8, 2007 at 12:33 PM. Reason : ]

8/8/2007 12:33:10 PM

be warned...Wardrobe is expensive but they have cute clothes.

remember my homegirl LIzz...she and i go there every few weeks

8/8/2007 12:49:30 PM

when is forever21 going to open?

8/8/2007 12:57:50 PM

i'm assuming sometime in the next couple of months.....its HUUUGE, takes up the entire coridor Macy's is in.

8/8/2007 12:59:05 PM

Can't find a pic, but they're Louis Vuitton - Beatrix (Black)


So yea, I'm officially cut off....

8/8/2007 10:48:06 PM

So I got this dress


and a black one from charlotte russe that i can't find a picture for

gonna go back though and look for something in red or a bright print. maybe even silver sequins which is TOTALLY not me, but hey...it's vegas

And on another note, look what I just got!

8/9/2007 1:18:20 PM

That dress requires a cami underneath it, unless of course you're in Vegas.

Just write an algorithm for him. A while loop will do the trick.

It most certainly does not.

8/9/2007 3:31:02 PM

if anything it requires a good bra

and who around here sells plain white (no prints, no pattern, no lace) halter swim tops?

I can't find one anywhere

8/9/2007 3:50:24 PM

PSSSH! CAMI!? I'd totally rock that here in Raleigh.

I don't have the largest breasts in the world (quite the opposite actually) so my good bra will consist of a good wire, a good pad, and some double sided tape to keep the bra from exposing itself when I move around

I'm thinking about coloring my hair to cover some grays....My hair is dark brown now

Any advice?

8/9/2007 4:44:46 PM

get it done right, and stick with your natural color

8/9/2007 4:45:43 PM

Totally planning on stickin to my natural color, but what's the right way?

I don't have a lot of gray right now and it's mostly around my face and above my ears, although there are more and more sprouting along my part

8/9/2007 4:49:08 PM

Okay let me rephrase, I'd need a cami for that dress. My poor boobs are notorious for flopping out everywhere.

8/9/2007 5:21:33 PM

yeah i wouldn't wear a shirt under that dress....probably not a bra either haha since i don't have a lot to push up! it is really cute though!


and those shoes look like something my great grandma would wear

8/9/2007 6:45:44 PM

^^^The right way would be getting it done professionally. I mean yeah you're going to spend more, but you can get permanant color and you have less of a chance of it being messed up big time.

I mean unless you know someone who is really good at the do it yourself stuff.

8/9/2007 9:02:40 PM

its kinda difficult to fuck up the do it yourself hair dyes...but get a friend to help you though. You won't be able to do it yourself the first time. Get a color that is as close to your hair color as possible.

I love these shoes.

I can't find them ANYWHERE online, so it looks like I'm going to have to get them repaired (I've had them for going on two years, and they've seen a LOT of wear). Can anyone think of a better place to do so than ManMur?

9/2/2007 7:48:30 PM

olde raleigh shoe repair on edwards mill road

9/2/2007 7:56:22 PM

Are they really fucking good? I already know ManMur is - I know someone who drives from Savannah, GA at least once a year because their custom work is that good (she has to get pretty major modifications on every pair of shoes she buys).

I don't. It's not healthy to wash your hair everyday unless if you have really oily hair...
