I know, I know... not very mature of me. :) But I dearly love this old pair of footy PJs my ex gave me years ago. They are threadbare, and I would like to buy a new pair but I haven't seen any in local stores. I hate to buy on-line, but if you can tell me a site that has them and that you trust with your CC info then I will. Thanks! (link)
I managed to find a few places

All of which I've bought things online from. It's going to depend on the store(s) near you whether they have them in stock there or not, but if not then you have the online option.

You could also try Walmart or even Amazon and Ebay if you don't see anything from those stores that you like. I wouldn't be surprised if you could find some on Etsy either.


I just bought these really cute blue jeans that are skinny jeans would but I dnt know what kind of shoes to wear with them. I also bought this really cut top but the sleeves are long sleeved and the sleeves are sea through and it shows my back would it be okay to we're the shirt to church as long as I wear an undershirt so my back won't show and a strapless bra so my bra straps won't show or would it show to much to wear to church? (link)
The beauty of blue skinny jeans is that you can wear them with pretty much anything. Sneakers, heels, boots, flats, sandals, flip flops, ect. All paired with different shirts and accessories will create different looks. Throw on sneakers/flip flops/flats for a casual look, heels for a formal/fancy look, sandals for a put together look that's not really casual but not really formal, either. Really, the sky's the limit. It just depends what kind of shoes you like to wear or the look you're trying to go for. Personally, I only ever wear sandals, flip flops, moccasins, or boots with the pant legs tucked in. That's just my style and what I like.

As for the church question, I don't attend church myself, but the shirt with a tank/cami under it and strapless bra sounds fine to me.


Does getting a tattoo behind your ear hurt? I want to get a tiny, little heart back there or an arrow pointing up as if it's saying to keep my head up. See, I have a very low pain tolerance and that's why I'm worried, I also do not like needles because I was on a medicine that made me get blood drawn six times and I hated it but I never passed out or anything because of that. I've always been that good girl that never broke the rules. I'm in college and I really want to do something like this. Thanks! (link)
All tattoos hurt. Period. It's to be expected. Granted, some area hurt wore then others. And then your own personal pain tolerance comes into play.

I personally have a high pain tolerance and am not afraid of needles so I wasn't too bothered getting my tattoos on my feet or forearm. From what I've been told by others, tattoos behind the ears are mild in pain. But this also comes back to what your personal pain tolerance is.

Low pain tolerance and afraid of needles could be a problem. You don't want to freak out in the middle of your tattoo and be left with a half down job or a messed up job. Make sure you REALLY want this and it's not just a rebelling thing from always being the "good girl".


I am transitioning to natural hair. Before I started transitioning I bleached and colored my hair. The dye has faded and now my hair is orange. I want to dye my hair but I heard it can ruin curl pattern. Does it ruin the curl pattern? (link)
I've never used regular hair dye, sorry. But henna can sometimes loosen your curls. It's not permanent, but it happens.


how old do you have to be to get your cartilage pierced at piercing pagoda? (link)
You can be any age as long as you have a parent with you. I was 14 when I got my first one with my mom. You have to be 18 to get one on your own, though.


I got my rook pierced two months ago and the other night it started to bleed really bad. I was told by the guy who pierced my rook that if it's infected or starts to bleed, not to take it out because that could cause more irritation or could make the infection worse. Well, I didn't listen. The bleeding was just too much for me and I wanted to make sure it wasn't badly infected. When I took it out, it bled for a few hours and now I can't get it back in.
If I put my earring back in through the top hole, it goes in just fine. But I can't screw back on the ball because I would have to do that from the bottom and with where the rook is, it's an awkward position. But when I try to put the earring back in through the bottom hole I can't find the hole. I think I might have found it a few times but it hurts really bad. For those of you who know how the piercing looks and where the holes are placed you'll understand this.

FINALLY...here's my question. Is there a way to get my earring back in without having to go back to the piercing parlor? And are there any comfortable ways to get my earring back in and screw the ball back on if I have to put the earring through the top and screw the ball on at the bottom?

Thank you! (link)
I'll start out by saying I've personally never had a rook piercing. But I do have my upper and middle cartilage of my ear pierced and I got the first one in 2009. (Upper pierced 3 different times because it closed up. Blah)

It honestly sounds like the bottom hole closed up, or is very close to closing up.
Cartilage piercings close up extremely quickly. Even a few hours without the earring and it could close up.
Two months is way too early to take the earring out. Especially leaving it out for hours at a time.
You didn't mention how long you had it out for, but if it was out for two days or more, that's most likely what happened.

My middle cartilage bleeds every once in awhile. I'm not sure why this happens. But I take it out as well for a day to let it heel a bit. BUT I poke an earring through the hole every hour to keep it from closing up. This is what you should have done, and you should do this in the future. Also clean it up with the cleaning stuff that you SHOULD have been gaven once you got your rook pierced.

You can either go back to the guy who pierced you and get it again.
Or, you can suck up the pain and push the earring though the rook holes.
Whenever I've came close to having my cartilages closing up, that's what I do. Then you should clean the holes daily to aviod infections.

You can always ask a parent or a friend to do this for you. Since they would be able to aim better than you can when putting the piercing back in.

PS: If you want to try and lessen any pain, try numbing up that part of your ear by holding an ice cube to it for a few minutes. Then put the earring back in.

Hope I could help you. If you have any other questions, feel free to send me a private question. I'll try to answer the best I can.


How do I apply my eyeshadow so it looks bold?

I try, over and over, to apply my eyeshadow so you can see it through my glasses. However, when I put my glasses on, it's really hard to tell that I'm even wearing eyeshadow, but you can always tell that I'm wearing eyeliner/mascara. I have blond hair, and blue eyes, so I can wear greens, blues, pinks, purples and browns. I like Covergirl and L'oreal the best, but I'll wear any brand. My skin isn't sensitive. Thanks to all who answer.

I hate the applicator brush, so I use a shadow brush. Here is my traditional makeup routine.

1. Moisturize
2. apply foundation with a powder brush (I HATE the sponge!)
3. LIGHTLY apply bronzer
4. Apply light mosaic face powder (to help lighten the bronzer, since I look like tanning bed gone wrong otherwise.)
5. Apply black liner. I do this so that the liner somewhat takes on the color of my eyeshadow
6. Apply the shadow. I use a light color for highlighting, then put the darkest color I want to use from my lid to my crease. from crease to brow is a lighter color.
7. Apply mascara
8. Blush
9. Lipstick or lipgloss, depending on what I want to use. (link)
I suggest taking a look at these links;

Hey(: does anyone know where you can get Justin Bieber shirts?! I've only seen one that says the future Mrs. Bieber but do you know where to get different ones?? thanks!!:)
(link)
You can also try Hot Topic. They sell some there.


You know that clear strap on in the inside of dresses and some tops? That look like a clear bra strap but it's really just to be hooked on the clothes hanger?

Well I suddenly noticed that I don't remove them from any of my clothes! So I was wondering if I should cut them off or can i just rip them off? (link)
They can easily be ripped off.
That's what I do. (:


hello. I would like to give myself a new hairstyle for school. I would like to give myself an "emo" looking haircut/style. I have medium-long length hair. I know the exact kind of style I want, but Im not sure how to actually do it. Any ideas? (link)
Print out of picture of the style you want, and bring it to any hair cutting salon of your choice and tell them that's what you want.

After they cut your hair, they'll tell you how to style it everyday.


I use the sock method to curl my hair because I don't like using heat when I don't have to. However, they seem to fall out pretty easy, even if they have hairspray AND gel. Any ideas? (link)
You can try using curlers at night.
Or bring hairspray with you and touch up every hour.

My hair is naturally VERY long and pin straight. So curls barely stay in.
But bringing hairspray whereever I go helps.


alright so i really want an anchor necklace. i've looked around and i can't seem to find one that i really like. i want a simple one that looks good. something i could wear every day as well as going out. thanks so much. (link)
I was JUST watching a video today on YouTube of two girls getting this really cute Anchor Necklace from Forever 21.
I looked on their website and it's not on there, but that doesn't mean a store near you doesn't have it in stock.

Here's the video with the necklace.

^The girls show their necklaces at 1:43 in the video.


My school has a dress code and i hate it! We have to wear collar shirts and they have to be a sertan color. Where can i get solid collar shirts? (link)
You can try Kohls, Old Navey, or JCPenny.


where can i get a dress similar to these? like stores that sell similar, etc.

http://tinypic.com/r/n3rxwj/6

thankyou(: (link)
You can try the Deb.
http://www.debshops.com/family/index.jsp?page=1&categoryId=3364605&cp=3371579

There's a bunch of pages with dress to look through.

Also, you can try WetSeal.com
I know for a fact they have a shirt like those dresses, because I own it.
So they might have a dress like it.


Alright guys :) I'm 18, and I'm a chubby girl. It seems that whenever I buy a cute pair of jeans, they rip (in the inner thigh) and I'm left with no jeans at all. I'm tired of this happening, but I know it will keep happening, so does anyone recommend a certain brand of jeans that won't rip as easily and will last? Any experiences? Thanks for the advice! (link)
http://www.debshops.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=3395624&cp=3371584

NO NOT buy the pre-made ripped jeans.
They rip in the inner thigh within a day or two.
I'm also overweight, and the skinny jeans here are amazing.

Is you're hair naturally straight?
Do you straighten it?
A picture of you would have been easier to decide.

My hair is down to my ass. Not even kidding, and it's naturally pin straight.
I have regualar bangs, try that.

This is a picture of me I took legit just today
http://tinypic.com/r/1yu0xe/6
Thats how bangs would look with long straight hair.
If you have anything else you'd like to ask, this is my email.

hi 14/f

I'm always wondering how i would look like as a brunette. I have like a golden blonde look you could say, it's light and dark on the bottom. I have fair skin and blue eyes. So what do you guys think? I also wanted to know some different ways to style my hair. It's short and it's a bob layerd style. I'm growing it out, but is there any ways to make it really pretty?

my hair supplies are:
-straightner
-curling iron
-volumising moose
-brush (of course)
-wave enhancing spray
- tousle me softly spray

Any ideas? They can't be to hard, or long to fix because i don't have a lot of time in the morning.
Thanks in advance! :) (link)
Do you have a picture of yourself?
It'd be alot easier for someone to decide if you would look nice as a brunette.


my hair is terrible! disgusting!
i shower and shampoo like im supposed to but my hair i always greasy and knotty and no matter what i use to shampoo/condition it sucks!

im thinking about getting pantene proV
but i hear the alcohol will dry out my hair?
true?

what other good like conditioning products should i use? help!

thanks! (link)
Pantene sucks asshole.
In the VERY beginning of your shower -
Use the red Herbel Esences bottle shampoo, wash for two minutes then rinse.

Then for conditioner, use the Panteen conditioner thats in a tube like thing. It will be while and brown, get the one that has a read strip on the tube. Use a quater sized about and leave it in your hair throughout the WHOLE shower. Once done with washing, rinse out and wala.

Naturally, I have silky smoooth hair, but I find that any other products make me hair discusting, and this helps.


okay so i have my homecoming dance soon, and i really need to find a dress. i'm punk: i wear skinny jeans, band tees, flannel, i have blue hair etc. so i'm trying to find a dress that actually goes along with my style. i don't want anything too out there, like a corset dress, unless you think it's reallllllly adorable. and i'm looking for a shorter dress, knee length and above. i also plan on wearing converse with my dress too. color doesn't really matter to me, and designs like plaids and stripes are fine too. oh and the price just needs to be under about $80.
thankyou in advance!!! (link)
