Dr. Gross Alpha-Beta Peel Home Facial System
Anyone who uses this want to venture a guess at the % strength of the Glycolic and beta hydroxy acids? My skin likes this, once a week that is. Curious about what other think about the strength, I don't have any experience with other acid peels. T

Long hair on guys - why good or bad?
I'm a guy that's considering growing my hair longer than usual. By this I mean hitting the shoulders and maybe a little lower. Think Tom Cruise in MI2, and not quite as long as Antonio Banderas in Zorro or Assassins. My career is in academia so ther

Applying cream eyeshadow
How do you all do it? I have Clinique's Touch Tint and I've tried dabbing with my finger, smearing with my finger, using a Q-tip. It goes on well enough but I figured if there was a trick, you all would know it. I've tried cream eyeshadows before

Long sleeve lightweight Ts
I am looking for some long sleeve lightweight Ts to wear in early spring when it is still chilly. LLBean had some Supima ones, but they are a bit on the warmer side. They also have some plain cotton ones which I may get if I don't find any others.

Kate Spade Cosmetics Case at Nordstrom
In a recent trip to Nordstrom I saw an adorable Kate Spade cosmetic bag set. One (the largest) was retangular and pretty good sized, maybe 10x15 inches, and had double handles and basically opened in half. It was in a really cute print that had purple

PuchiBags?
Can a knowledgeable fashionista answer a question for me? What is a PuchiBag? And more importantly, why is this Barbie Puchi so expensive: http://www.barbiecollectibles.com/shop/product.aspx?product_id=60785&shelfID=1 This bag caught my eye, bu

Help with online store url

College student in need of eye cream

OT: Janet's...ahh...Shield?
x-no-archive: yes Um, can someone tell me if Janet's "nipple shield" exposed during the Superbowl is a piercing or a clamp-on device. Not that I'm thinking of getting one mind you, but either way it looks mighty uncomfortable. TIA. -clueless sk

Hip Chanel Style Jacket
I know a lot of companies (Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Banana Republic) are doing pseudo chanel style rip-off. I have seen them at Bebe, but I am 40 years old and a size 8 (finally - down two sizes) and even though I have lost 15-20 pounds in the last s

Funeral etiquette
This is morbid, I know. Sorry. But would any of you wear pinstripes to a funeral? Like a black pinstriped suit? Male or female? Are pinstripes too businessey? Not sober enough? Any immediate funeral-dressing gaffes or blunders come to mind? Whe
