I'm into Mary Kay's Midnight Red. It's a very soft red color. It blends nicely into lips. The shade is perfect for darker skin tones.

We call each other "pookie" ;)

I escape with Sherlock Holmes, too, or one of Hammett's hard-boiled detective stories :) I don't like how today's media is designed to make you angry, scared, or simply desensitize you when it comes to violence and sex. Not saying I'm a prude. Some aspects of today's society are an...

I remember seeing this too when I lived in DC. It was one of the things I liked about the area :-) My style might be termed retro because I wear a lot of dresses that have a 40s flare. I definitely don't do trends, either, CaramelSmoothie. And when I get the chance, I try to dress my husband in...

My husband bought me the game as an anniversary present. I love the concept of it, although I was upset about the storyline of the main protagonist. I'm still waiting for news of a sequel. Jack Kelso is my favorite character.

Jitterbug Doll. Where did she go?

I own a few of their books featuring Golden Era comic book drawings and pinups. Barnes and Noble usually has them in the bargain section for less than $10. Great deal.

I read comics from time to time, my favorites being The Flash (don't know, now, since they revived Barry Allen and got rid of Wally West), Wonder Woman, and She-Hulk. Due to the expense of keeping up with the monthly issues, I opt for graphic novels. They might not be exactly up to date with the...

I hear you. Rejection is extremely tough. That first sentence of the dreaded letter always starts with something akin to "Thank you for your submission" but the second sentence kills it with, "Unfortunately...." It really boils down to the saying of one man's trash is another's treasure. I had...

I'm currently working on an inspirational romance series set in the 1870s, but I plan to write romances circa 1940 at some point. Depends on if my agent approves. These days, I've been seeing more novels set in the Golden Era as opposed to present day. There's a demand for novels that...

I wear a facial cream with sunscreen every day. When my limbs are exposed in the summer, I wear at least spf 50, but I hate that sunscreen smell. Oh well, it's much better than dealing with premature aging and skin cancer later on down the road. Does sunscreen have the ability to keep one...

Thank you, Nashoba. I really appreciate that. I'll be sure to check out Military One Source, too :)

No matter where you move, it seems the nasty bugs always seem to follow... My town is swarming with big, black, ugly field crickets. Yesterday, I drove to Sonic for a limeade. While I was waiting for my drink, I saw a crow eating two crickets. After I got my limeade, I reached down to put my...

I'm new to the military life. I got married to my army guy last year in May, and we promptly left Virginia to come here to Ft. Sill in Oklahoma. I quickly learned how much strength is required of a military spouse, day in and day out. It's not just you and your husband, it's you, your husband...

I know how you feel, Miss Neecerie. When I got married last year, my husband and I moved to Lawton, Oklahoma for the military. It was, and still is, a tough adjustment. It's a semi-rural community that is one hundred miles away from the closest metropolitan area. There is very little to do here...
