OT: Being Stalked Via The Internet
Has anyone here had this unfortunate problem? Recently I have had a number of dealings with a netizen whose actions I find frightening and upsetting. After several bouts of going round and round with this individual, I decided to drop the matter ent

TALIKA Instant Manicure
The Bliss ad for Talika Instant Manicure packets has me intrigued, although $30 for 8 packets seems awfully steep to me. Is this product like using a denture cleaning tablet or some OxyClean? If you have used it, what makes it special? This winter I

What I had for breakfast
Sugar free ice cream bars. Thirteen kinds. (I split each one with my husband and a friend, and got their reviews as well.) I have a weird job. Dana (doesn't want ice cream again for a while...)

Bronzing powders
I played with the Chanel bronzing powder today. I think it was the bronzing blusher in Sierra. It was very tempting but I decided to wait until the weekend when I'll be at Sephora. Do you use a bronzing powder or creme blush in the summer, and which

I finally bought a jelly bag
It was just $20 and there's a 15% off coupon (DEALHUNT15) so I thought what the hey. I got it in the blue/green stripe. http://www.lizclaiborne.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1503768&cp=1744843.1732318.1771883 Leigh -- Consequences,

Americana Couture - Fraud
I just wanted to notify you that Americana Couture has been riopping off customers. They have taken money from individuals, myself included, and not sent merchandise. The Attorney General for Arizona is investigating them right now and the owner of Ame

Blazers/jackets
I'm trying to slowly and subtly "class up" what I wear to work -- slowly and subtly, so that I don't scare or surprise anyone, including myself. ;) I don't want the fact that I'm dressing nicer to overly register in the process, basically. I usually we

AF DC Get Together
As many of you know it took place over the weekend and I think a great time was had by all (I know I enjoyed planning it again this year!) The festivities started off with a party at my Mom's house in the 'burbs and the place for the pile o' crap was

only capris?
I came home pretty disappointed - was all set to buy some new things, but everything in a pant was capri or cropped length! I want some classic slacks and matching jackets, on the line of a camp shirt, wh. I can pop over a tank or shell. Guess the old

What I Bought Today
I had an 11 a.m. appointment with the personal shopper at Macy's. She had put aside several pieces from the Lauren tangerine and daffodil collection. She didn't show me the skirt because it is neon orange and does not match the shell. What I bought

laser resurfacing again.
I went to the dermatologist yesturday and he basically said he cant help me because my skin deteriation is not a medical problem. I then asked him if i could have laser resurfacing and he told me he did no know and he has not any experience with it. W

J. Crew coupons?
I'm hoping to place an order for the Chino blazer, but I haven't seen any free shipping coupons on any of the coupon sites for ages! There used to be tons of them, it seems strange. I do get their catalogs and regular subscriber emails, but I haven't

What does a Hawaiian mumu reallly look like?
My mom asked me to bring her back a mumu from my trip to Hawaii. I searched eBay just to get an idea of what one should look like, and they all seem to look different. Is there any typical style?

What to pack for Hawaii?
I'm going to Hawaii next week and I have never been before. I am going to Oahu, Big Island, and Kauai. I am wondering what to pack to wear for evenings out. Are there many situations where you would want to dress up? I'm thinking I'll just bring mostly

Very O/T Question - Passport Name Change
Hey Y'all: I haven't been outside the US since 9/11 and seriously need some advice. I officially changed my name on my SSN card and drivers' license to hyphenate my maiden and now married names. BUT...my passport has only my first, middle and maid

Warning: use lingerie bags for delicate wash
I've been washing wool/cashmere sweaters in my washing machine on delicate for some time now, and I used to put each sweater in a separate lingerie bag. Recently, I've run out of lingerie bags, so I started throwing sweaters directly into the washing

armani colors
I'm slowly being seduced by the descriptions of the Armani cosmetics I've read here, but don't have access locally. How do the foundation numbers correspond to the MAC system? I'm a NC 20 or 25 . TIA lynne

Colorless World
I was doing some shopping in downtown Manhattan yesterday and stopped to have some coffee. I was sitting at the window of a cafe people-watching and I decided to do a quick fashion analysis. The first thing i noticed was that even on this spring-lik
