Shallow fashion post.

Actually, NSM 'fashion', for I am tired of my clothes and feel slovenly in them, but I am quite pleased with the rest of my grooming.

I've redyed my hair a brighter red, so it has this nice burgundy/red shimmer to it (minim_calibre, I am taking what you said about a mahogany under consideration, but I've at least two more dyeing cycles to go through before the wedding).

I do need to remember to wash my hair every other day - no more, no less. More, it gets brittle and tangly. Less, it gets floopy and limp.

My hair is just at the length where the wave scoffs at the blowout. It may have to go a few bits shorter. We'll see.

I went on an eyebrow-grooming rampage, and am mostly pleased with the results. I may still get them done professionally at least once.

My fingernails now have a gothy French manicure on them - black w/silver tips. It looks very pretty, except that some people may think that I'm just overly excited about the Raiders starting training camp. (They are starting training camp, aren't they?)

My toenails will never be allowed to get long enough to have a French manicure on them, so they are just a pleasing darkish bright red.

I need a bright red lipstick.


I hope the manicure isn't too hard to keep up. I really like it. Nothing like freshly-done nails.

My top two bright red lipsticks (not deep bloodwine red, which is Chanel's Vamp) are "Scarlet Empress" by NARS, and "Clovis" by Deluxe Beauty. Yes, I have a lipstick named Clovis. Plei bought it for me just because of the name; that the color is good was purely a bonus.

The manicure sounds nice. I can't wear polish--my hands are in food all day. But I can admire your nails!

I'm a big fan of red Red RED! lipstick. In my bag right now I've got Jezebel, from Lancome, which is kind of plummy-red, Cranberry, from Avon, which is the color of a Red Delicious apple, Strawbery Born Lippy from the Body Shop, which is red tinted lip balm, and Scarlet Rose glitter lipstick from Jane, which tastes good, too!
