Q: Well, i ahve a question!
Be honest!
I am a natural blonde, but i think that brunetts are wilder, but what do you thing, i need your advice!

Hev

i personaly thought blondes were wilder..if thats a word..lol..but yeah but then again i guess it depends on the person cuz there is this girl in my first hour and shes brunette and shes so timid! its like come on grandma ur 14 not 114!!lol

Q: my eighth grade graduation is coming up in about a month, and i got a dress, but idk if im completely happy with it. i love the colors and how it looks on me, but im just afraid its too short and not formal enough (even though graduation isnt really formal) the thing is, the graduation ceremony or whatever is before the dance, on the same night. so i go straight from the ceremony to the dance (pretty pathetic) so i'm afraid my dress is too party-ish looking like for the ceremony. here's a picture: http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/2091/10055544fq.jpg

do you think thats too short? im really self-conscious so maybe its just me. plus i'm not used to wearing dresses and shorts and stuff. ahh please help before i freak out because graduation is in a month!!!!!! thankss =)

that is a veryy cutee dress!!
((where did you gett it??))

well anyways we just had mine and there were somee hoees there that wore em like 9 inches shorter..((even FAT girls..eew..lol))

its cute and appropriatee!!

Q: How come your not supposed to pluck your eyebrows from the top part?

Never pluck the top of your eyebrows because as you get older, eyelids droop and you’ll need those hairs on top a few years from now.

Q: i guess this goes in here.. but what are some good places to take like not exactly modeling but good pictures at?

Outside. Outside there is good lighting and a nice scene, like by trees and bodies of rivers, or (if you are a model..?), you could get professional pictures, they have different backrounds you can chose from!

good luck!!

much love

Q: is there anykinds of types of lipgloss's that work well that are made at home?
like can you give me the recipe for it please.
thanks

Stuff ull need::Vegetable shortening, honey, Kool-Aid mix (the powder before mixed with water), hot water..**the color of the powder will depend on the color of the gloss**

ok 1st)Use a small bowl to mix 1 tbsp of the solid vegetable shortening and 1 tsp of honey. In a separate bowl, mix the drink mix and 1/4 tsp of hot water until it is dissolved. Stir in as much of the drink mix as possible. The actual amount will depend on the temperature of water. The more you can dissolve, the stronger the flavour will be.

2nd)Add one drop of the water mixture to the shortening/honey base. Stir well. Repeat until you get the color/flavor combination you want. Pour into a clean container or old lip gloss pot.

3rd)Store in the refrigerator. Keeps for 3 days.

hopee i helpedd!
