| Finally found the time to see Ocean's Twelve. The movie has absolutely
no plot, but it's hilarious! I loved it.

| NY tax free shopping weeks |
| I'm planning a Spring Fling at Woodbury Commons and would like to know how I
can find out when NY state has tax free weeks. Does it differ from when NYC has
them? How much advance notice do they give you? Or don't they do that anymore?

| Any recommendations for a loose powder? I don't wear any foundation, I just

| Nars products |
| I cant believe I waited so long to try Nars. I am in love with Dolce Vita
lipstick & Orgasm blush. I have added Masai as another lipstick I would like
to try as well as Sin blush.
Any other products or colors in the Nars line you like?

| Symphony on a snowy night |
| We just landed free tickets for the symphony tonight. It is yucky
outside... cold, snowy/sleety. Think I can get away with a nice dress
or skirt with a pair of uggs? :-)

| Does anyone have a bottle of True Match and a bottle of MAC Select handy? I
noticed MAC makes a pump now and I was wondering if the bottle openings were
similar enough that the MAC pump could be used on the L'Oreal bottle.
TIA!!

| BAD Product -- Apt 5 Straigtening Gel |
| I THINK that's the correct name (Apt 5 Straightening Gel). Its the
purple stuff.
First off, it did nothing to straighten my hair.
Worse, it smells vile. I'm not a person who usually notices scents,
but this stuff really clings. Even hours later |

| what old-ish trends would you like to make a comeback in 2005? |
| here:
~ sixties inspired fashion. It's been hot again a while ago, for a
season or so, then disappeared once more. Black and white, geometrical
patterns, solid colors, mini skirts with flats, dark eye makeup with a
nude mouth...
~ wild hair colors. |
| what 2004 trends would you like to continue in 2005? |
| me:
~ round toes -- those cute fifties style pumps
~ waves and curls back in vogue, no more
pin-straight-hair-is-the-only-worthy-kind
~ and, not sure if it's an actual "trend," but I'd say slim 3/4
sleeves. Especially for slinky tops and thin sweate |
