I had an inexpensive pair similar to the shades above...

Plus, sometimes I like to experiment with false eyelashes - I've been looking for some peacock-feather types of lashes (they are hard to find)

similar to these below

Okay so I am a false eyelash efficianato and actually have owned those exact eyelashs lol ! I just love the look of false eyelashes and did you know they have been used in hollywood for decades? Yup Audrey Hepburn sported false eyelashes along with most of the icons of that era!

So back to your question, the feather ones can sometimes be found at Sephoras, they carry many different brands and styles. However, the only time I have found them in abundance (the feather ones) is at halloween in Walmart. NO KIDDING! They also carry 'regular' ones year round, I suggest getting the black eyelash glue instead of the clear (which is actually white).

Okay so that is my little rant lol can you tell I get excited about eyelashes???

See??? I knew it wouldn't be looooonnnnng before someone else might know how to help me find what I'm looking for! Thanks tiggs!!!

I know a person can always go to WM, but I sort of politically protest them on all accounts (voraciously) - *coughcough* - But I will try to find a small business or try to buy them from an online small-biz merchant.

I want to stop big business in the worst way and it would seem that the only way to do it, is to give my hard earned money to small business practitioners.

Thank you so much tiggs
for your help today!

Never appreciated Carhartt until the winter never seemed to end...

i have no sense of fashion at all. When i was younger, i tried occasionally, and was mostly an epic fail at it. These days, i am so over trying to be fashionable, so i go for comfort and what makes me feel pretty.

Love the boho look, peasant skirts, tunics, etc.

i LOVE funky purses/bags! And socks. And mary jane shoes.


These are my favorite pair of shoes!

i think i'm stuck in a "dressing too young for your age" phase of my life because i've always been fat and when i was in school there was no Torrid or Lane Bryant. i wore what my mama picked out for me, which were usually knit pull-on pants in every pastel color known to man, bought at Sears (with the matching tops in loud flower prints, of course).

rav?

those "hello kitty" shoes are so adorable!
I so agree with you on needing clothes that fit comfortably;
allowing a person to feel stylish!

I favor keeping a variety of choice. Re (Boho): I have lots of summer broomstick dresses - dresses made out of that material that's crinkly-wrinkly and sets of 'gaucho-like' pants and cotton, slinky Tees to go with them.

Same for shoes: I like having lots of different kinds of shoes - flip flops, Berk's, dressy sandals, classic pumps, Mary Jane's, kitten heels, crocs, jogging shoes, sneakers (keds), ourtageously styled stilettos - and of course - slips, socks, garters & stockings!

Thanks for sharing about your style preferences today! I enjoyed learning more about you!

That's cool.

Who says ya can't look fashionable in canvas, anyway. It's all in the attitude!

I used to have a different version of this picture in my locker in high school (when I wasn't gay >>eyeroll<<)

What a dreamboat!

kd lang....in a suit...barefoot

Cute shoes!



I never imagined myself as a "shoe lover," but it has come with age.

Finding shoes for my two sons was always a challenge (not to even mention clothes!). It seems that I never had enough money ever (when they were growing up - they seemed to physically change with every season possible) to afford them the best shoes because shoes to fit their feet were always hard to find. My eldest son's shoe size, last I knew, was a mens 15E (irregular wide width) and Eddie wears a mens 14R (regular width) - both of my sons are well over the 6' mark.



The shoes above are made by hand, leather and I would guess, very expensive. I like this look in shoes (I think this is a very nice mens style).

I have become a shoe whore. I am always buying shoes...but I always end up wearing the same pair.

oops meant to respond...it is the energy and I feel her "butch"

You did not see the opening of the Olympics or any pictures from the last 10 years?

She wore a hot white suit and was, per usual, barefoot.
