Thank you so much, ladies! Now I can tell my man where to go, and ha will have no exuses not to buy what I want! ;-)

Hello, ladies! My husband is right now in LA, and asked me what I want him to buy for me. I want a trunkload of Queen Helen products! But I need to tell him where to find them, so I wondered if any of you girls can tell me where to send him? Wallmarts or something? Thanks in advance!

I definately reccomend experimenting with different textures/fomulas. You can also try mixing foundations with powder until you find your perfect one. I have allways loved the silk powder and the rice powder, and I find that priming my face with the powder before I apply foundation, and...

Can't belive no-one has mentioned James Elroy yet. So I'll make sure to mention him properly: Elroy, Elroy, Elroy. Seriously; read some Elroy. Oh, and did I mention how brilliant James Elroy writes?

The thing with having a motif is that people might start assuming that you like all kinds of junk as long as it displays your motif. A friend of mine is starting to get really frustrated because she loves giraffes, but hates all the extremely tacky giraffe cups, giraffe curtains, giraffe...

What formula are you using? EM has different formulas, the "Original Glow" and "Semi Matte" might be a bit shiny, but the "Matte" and "Intensive" are quite matte. And, Gingermore; Silk Dust is from EMs loose finishing powders, it's trasclucent, made of real silk and really helps matting...

I think I have seen the exact same table before on the lounge? Have you shoved it before, or does someone else have another like it? It's beautyfull, and I'll eat my hat if that isn't true art deco from the 20s, 30s or maybe 40s, most likely the 30s.

I'm greatfull for that every day. And I never buy hair-removing mousse any more! My choir leader did something similar to Lil Babs, only with her lips: In the stress right before a concert she reached into her bag, found the lip balm and put it on -only to discover she had used the glue stick!

Once, I stopped a split second before I put hair-removing mousse in my hair, thinking it was hair-mousse! Same type of bottle, almost the same name.... Scary!

It's difficult to date tubular steel chairs like that. Really simple constructions like that has been around since the 20s, like kabuto said, and are difficoult to pinpoint to an area. They are so simple, there are little to go on! Still,based on the proportions, (the height of the back...

Crom! Are you also gong to play the game?

The easiest 20th style I know is wawes in the front, and edwardian style roll at the nape of the neck. (Use a rat.) I know there are many threads here with info on both, just do a little search! Good luck!
