How to Choose your Bride in the Late Nineteenth Century

In the first place, see the girl you intend to honor as early in the morning as possible, and note whether she is fresh and tidy or limp and frowsy.

I would have never got a husband if I was expected to not be frowsy early in the morning.

Boxing federation wants female boxers to wear skirts - Fourth-Place Medal - Olympics�Blog - Yahoo! Sports

Besides the obvious in your face outdated Twilight Zone/Pleasantville vibe of this idea, is the irony: woman boxers, punching each other in the face, mandated to appear "feminine"-- while they're punching each other in the face. Ladies must look demure and womanly at all times, dahlings! Boxing federation wants female boxers to wear skirts

TSA removes security screener for note telling passenger to 'get your freak on' - The Hill's Transportation Report

Related to the previous post, the inappropriate note left by a TSA screenr in lawyer Jill Filipovic's baggage concerning her vibrator -- "Get your freak on" written on official TSA inspection form -- caused that screener to be fired. Yea: TSA removes security screener for note telling passenger to 'get your freak on' - The Hill's Transportation Report. And, yewwww...! As Filipovic commented in a previous article about the incident, this particular vibrator will be "retired.' For sure.

The plastic surgery a model needs to look like Barbie. - Fashion Beauty on Shine

 One model (who has a great figure, even described by the writer as "Marilyn Monroe like") shows what she's have to do in order to look like the "ideal" Barbie. All these decades later, and Barbie is still a standard, for some: The plastic surgery a model needs to look like Barbie. - Fashion Beauty on Shine

(Speaking of Marilyn Monroe, a few weeks ago Bill Mahr on his show referred to Monroe as a "pie hole." I like Mahr but he has issues, dahlings, with women and weight. . .)

I just loved this and had to share!

Yes to cucumbers!

A couple weeks ago, I found Yes to Cucumbers shampoo and conditioner at Target.  It wasn't with the regular shampoo and conditioners, but in what I will call the "Special Cosmetics Area," with the all natural stuff and things that aren't well known brands.  It is specifically for color treated hair and although it cost far more than I normally spend on such things (around $9 per bottle) I was in a crazy shopping mood and bought it.

Lucky for me, that expense wasn't wasted.  I LOVE this stuff!  It leaves my hair incredibly soft and silky!  It is also like 99.5 % natural.  Not that natural means much.  After all, mercury is natural, but we don't want it in our hair.  Right now, it has been two days since I washed my hair and it still feels and looks great!

It also smells really good!

I will skip the jokes about why cucumbers are better than men. :-D

On Ghost Hunting Theories: Sexy Steampunk and Costume Fashions

The Ghost Hunting Theories blog has a neat post with photos of steampunk type fashion: Sexy Steampunk and Costume Fashions. I love steampunk; the fashions, the machines, -- something sexy about it to me.( I'd love to see Helen Mirren in a steampunk movie; something for the sexy older woman. I think she'd carry that off very well.) I particularly like these shoes Ghost Hunting Theories posted, but I know I couldn't wear those heels!

Got My Red Back

Here it is, my new color. No make-up and indoors, hair's a mess, but what the hell. Last time I used Clairol Tone on Tone, this time I used L'Oreal Intense Copper Red. I'm happy with it but I like the Clairol better and will use that next time. Also bought Pantene color protect shampoo.
