For reference, the hair dye that is being used for Hannah actually contains the lightening agent (standard hair bleach or some sort of variant of this) so it is lifting out your natural colour and depositing the red at the same time!

I was thinking more of the old American army general guy.

calenlass · « **Reply #1404 on:** 04 Apr 2011, 21:43 »

Yeah, because it is super red. I thought it was funny, ionno. Also it doesn't mean "blackhead" like the way we use it; it means "black-headed", as in hair.

Rizzo · « **Reply #1405 on:** 05 Apr 2011, 02:18 »

So, I really want to get a denim jacket like this to chuck patches etc on. Where does one purchase these? Amazon is about the price I'd be willing to pay but they don't ship outside the US.

McTaggart · « **Reply #1406 on:** 05 Apr 2011, 02:54 »

Levi's store? Though you're probably looking at double that price if you want to buy it in person in Australia. It's worth a look though, sometimes they have deals.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #1407 on:** 05 Apr 2011, 03:42 »

Industrie have some stuff kind of like that. There's a few stores in Newtown we could have a look at next week. I don't know why I'm telling you this over the forums, as you're sitting right next to me so I'll probably turn slightly to the left and tell you after I hit post.

Hey dudes, here is my boyfreund. Is this stuff good for going to my cousin's wedding next weekend? He wanted a black jacket so he could have a "suit" and I told him that was dumb unless he got a real suit with matching pieces. Also, I was thinking about a solid bright purple tie, but then I found this blue one. His beard will be blue again tomorrow, so is that too much blue or is it good?

Bonus: what I wore last weekend to go to the bridal shower

Lunchbox · « **Reply #1413 on:** 05 Apr 2011, 18:57 »

Yr dude's outfit looks fine but if he is blue bearding then maybe a dark tie would look better.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #1414 on:** 05 Apr 2011, 19:03 »

Tell yr boy to undo the bottom button on his jacket and also that I loved Chasing Amy

Lines · « **Reply #1415 on:** 05 Apr 2011, 19:36 »

I think the purple tie might be better, but you'll be able to see better when his beard is blue.

while we're on glasses (i guess we're not really on glasses anymore but while we're still on the same page, at least), i really want these now but like it's definitely not going to happen on account i bought new glasses only four months ago and i really love my glasses and there is absolutely no way i can justify spending the money on another pair when the only reason is that i really love these glasses too, i love them so much. i guess i'll just keep lusting and pawing at my computer screen until 20 months have passed and my student coverage pays for them again. one day, glasses, once day. i'll put you on my face

Lunchbox · « **Reply #1418 on:** 05 Apr 2011, 22:03 »

I am the same way Tania. I bought my new glasses in February or something? But I don't like them any more, I think the black is too dark for the rest of my face and I really liked the way my old big frames sat on my face and all that.
I have been trying to wear contacts like I said I would but my eyes are super sensitive and dry out like immediately, especially if I wear them to work.

tania · « **Reply #1419 on:** 05 Apr 2011, 22:09 »

what happened to the old glasses?

David_Dovey · « **Reply #1420 on:** 05 Apr 2011, 22:14 »

Count me in as well. Got my new glasses a little under a year ago and really the only reason I want new ones is just because I want something from Warby Parker. Don't even matter too much what.

tania · « **Reply #1421 on:** 05 Apr 2011, 22:23 »

buy two of these

Lunchbox · « **Reply #1422 on:** 05 Apr 2011, 22:30 »

My prescription needed updating and I decided I should try to look less like a fucking hipster.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #1423 on:** 05 Apr 2011, 22:33 »

I love my glasses. I love that I have my regular pair and a second, slightly larger pair for when I want to covertly influence people into thinking that I'm intelligent and capable (or for when someone tells me of an exciting plan).

Suck it, you guys.

You know that is how I convince girls to do things to me sexually. I call it a hipster fountain.

I'm getting an eye exam tomorrow, I'll be getting glasses and hopefully soon-after getting contacts. Hooray having insurance for another 28 days

It's why I get awesome sunglasses. They're my only option. I just ordered new ones online without trying them out or anything.. hopefully I didn't just waste my money.

I really like both pairs of glasses that I have right now, which is rare for me as I have a big head for a lady and glasses tend to fit me weird. I would much, much rather have perfect eyesight, though.

jmrz · « **Reply #1438 on:** 07 Apr 2011, 07:35 »

The boots i posted a page or so back arrived today!

They... fit perfectly, albeit a touch too tall (they come to the middle of my knee). I can't see this being a problem when the leather softens up a bit.

HOWEVER, the zippers do not stay zipped, which could just be because the boots were folded in the box. Also two of the eyelets for lacing popped off and luckily I caught all of the bits. I can just glue those back on.

I've emailed the site I bought them from to ask if there is anything they can do in regards to the zipper or whatever, but everything their site says about international returns involves me having to pay for shipping. Given that the package weighs about 7lbs/3.5ish-kg, that is going to cost me a stupid amount of money. If that is going to be the case i will probably take them to a cobbler or something to see if they can deal with the zippers.

Presently looking for the right straw hat.

Ok, dudes, I got some shoes to go with that dress.

I am making a bright blue flower for my hair. The shoes were my mom's suggestion, actually (and she bought them for me!), and they are coincidentally the bride's favourite colour.

redglasscurls · « **Reply #1442 on:** 11 Apr 2011, 13:39 »

Katie, I do not understand your fashions. I think we have very different interpretations of 'don't make it super matchy-matchy' because bright blue barbie shoes is the last thing I expected as I scrolled down the picture!

calenlass · « **Reply #1443 on:** 11 Apr 2011, 14:07 »

I tried to find pink but apparently shoes in that pink and also satin and also not pointy and stupid and for less than $50 USD do not exist.

I thought they were just as popular? From what I remember, they got super popular since Nike bought out Converse and have stayed at the same level since. So like...2003ish? I dunno.

Yeah, like back in the early 2000s. So if you've been wearing them since then, oh wells.
