    Monte Cristo anyone?

    This is sort of :offtopic: I don’t know anything about the sandwich (it seemed very north American to me lol ). But this tread did inspire me to go out and buy the Alexandre Dumas novel “The Count of Monte Cristo”. I’m enjoying it very much.

    Pale or Tan?

    I’m one of those that don’t get tan, I just get burnt. So I don’t sun bath, it is terribly boring anyway! I use sunscreen in the summer, but I don’t avoid the sun at all cost. I need some vitamin D, and studies have shown that if you are exposed to a little bit of sun in the summer you are less...

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    lol Actually most of my bras are bought from bravissimo! I have bought from them for almost ten years, and I love them. But for a girl dreaming of grassy green lingerie with daisies, there is still a little yarning left. Bespoken is expensive (just inquired about the prices for bespoken...

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    They don’t do alterations in Norway.  If you are anything outside standard sizes you just got to live with it, or buy from other countries. Not one of the bras I own are bought in Norway, they are almost all of them bought from UK. I heard a rumour there is a shop in London who actually measure...

    I also really wanted to try out the Doreen the first time I saw it. I seem comfortable and good. And I guess it must be, since it one of the best selling in the world. But they don’t make it with a band size of 30. :( I’m starting to think it’s a curse to be petit, but with a big bust.

    Lipstick Application 101

    I basically do it the way KittyT described, but I use rouge instead of powder. The rouge come on lighter than the powder, but works the same way.

    Bra pains.

    If you have a good fitting bra, the straps will never dig. The band and the cup should give the main support. The straps are never supposed to be the main support for your breasts. If the straps dig or is otherwise uncomfortable, it is a sign that this is what is happening. I have never heard...

    Bra pains.

    Do not chose your bra size based on mesurments! Chose based on what is best to wear(no pains and good support)! When mesured i am 32 inches around the bust. But if I pick a bra that is 32 inches around it is terrible to wear, it moves upp and down my back, and the straps dig. But when I wear...
