Intentional glamour In my opinion, glamour is intentional. We all make a choice to present ourselves a certain way, and I define glamour as the intent to enhance one's appearance in a specific way, showing "personal style." I often see some person out somewhere who has really put himself...

I call my man "Love," and he calls me "Darlin."

Have you looked into YogaToes? I have a pair and I swear they have kept my hammertoes from getting worse and might even help more severe hammertoes. You can even pop them in the freezer for extra relief on hot days. I wear mine when I'm soaking in the tub or watching TV, and I also use them as...

It's really pretty on you!

I only recently started feeling emboldened to start dressing in accordance with my lifelong interest in vintage clothing and eras since I found this place. I'm 33. My real-life friends still do things like buy me flip-flops, but here I felt supported in doing something that others I know...

I hate having to get my hair colored. It quickly fades from a nice rich brown to a washed-out reddish brown toward the ends. I just saw some photos taken of me over the holidays and realized I really can't skip a salon appointment or I have two-tone hair!

Can't speak for others, but rapidly-fading charm wearing newly-shined shoes gets at least one dance out of me...

I'm a sucker for a nicely-kept pair of leather shoes. Surprising how few men I see sporting anything other than athletic shoes. Chunky white running shoes make me want to run the other way!

I write in my diary very regularly, except when I get too busy. I like to look back and see what I was doing, say, a year ago today. Sometimes they remind me how far I've come. I have to laugh, for example, at the diaries from the years when I had a stressful career that I hated. I used to take...

Oooh, the half-moon is my new go-to manicure! I paint my nails once a week with a nice dark color using those french manicure strips as a guide over the moon area. Once the polish is totally dry I peel off the strips, and touch up with OPI's "correct and cleanup" nail polish remover pen. I top...

I'm sorry to say I haven't found hat kind of kinship with a friend. But I'm also not close to my family, so maybe it's me!

Those were some great shots, LD. Look like some people I'd like to know. I wonder what happened to Clemontine, too!

Ok, I went back for another round of BPAL and this time I think I got it! My new signature scent is my own mix--one big bottle of Black Dahlia with an imp of Hell's Belle mixed in. I also tried a few of the Dragon's Blood mixes in imp sizes and they were nice, too. So, I may be a BPAL convert...

For a good pale pink I always go with Essie's Ballet Slippers. I buy it at my nail salon, but you can also find it online and it is one of their best sellers, a good all-purpose pale pink for many different skin tones. Sometimes I wear OPI's "I'm Not Really A Waitress," a good deep red, but...

I think the right red lipstick, more berry than tomato red, would look great with eggplant. I wear a lot of eggplant and burgundy and I like to wear either a medium rose lipstick or a deeper berry red with it. I'm sure you're going to look smashing.
