Does anyone know where you can get grey skinny jeans for a decent price?

I got a pair from Steve and Barry's for Christmas. They were like $8. Macy's might have some, too.

hi im 13 and im aloud either my tragus (the litle stickin out bit in the middle of your ear)or the top of my ear done and im not aloud any more or both until im 18 . loads and loads of people have the top of their ear done in my class and i dont know anyone else with a tragus peircing? what do you think??

I don't think the tragus looks very good, but that's just my opinion. I'd go with the top of the ear. If you want something different than everyone else, go with the tragus.

My hair is layered and it's kinda longish. I straighten it before school in the morning (it's naturally wavy) and by the time i get to school its all wavy again and it goes thick and like straw. It's disgusting I hate it. Please, please, can someone help me. I need it to stay straight. I can't stand it, it's disgusting!

I had the same problem. Try getting a finishing straightening spray; it really helps. Its like four or five dollars at CVS. I use this stuff:
http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/cvs/gateway/detail?prodid=349184&previousURI=/CVSApp/cvs/gateway/search?ActiveCat=499^Query=straightening+finishing+spray
Don't put too much in though. It'll look greasy.

So from straightening my hair alot with a Chi straightener, my hair is damaged obviously. I've tried cutting back on using it that much this summer. but does anyone know of any good leave in conditioner/strengthining treatments????

Any shampoo/conditioner that says it protects dry, damaged hair works.
http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/cvs/gateway/detail?prodid=179179&previousURI=/CVSApp/cvs/gateway/search?ActiveCat=499^Query=damage+conditioners

Also, use creme. You put it in once you get out of the shower. You can use V05, or Studioline. There's also sprays, V05 as well. Try not to blowdry it. Go to bed with it wet, and when you wake up, staighten it. You can scunch you hair instead of straightening it, and that doesn't damage it nearly as much. I don't know any good brands because my hair doesn't scunch. But you can ask other people and they can give you suggestions.

I really like the luau idea. My friend did that for her eleventh birthday a few years ago, and it was really fun. Here's a few ideas:

Pineapple Princess punch: Mix equal amounts of lemon lime soda (store brand is fine), Hawaiian or red punch, and pineapple juice. Yum! Be sure to offer ice separately so it won't dilute the punch.
Buy almond cookies to serve with it. Or better yet, buy a fresh pineapple and cut it up into tidbits. Put the pieces on toothpicks, then do the same with strawberries.


Figure out how to make tissue-paper flowers. (Check the web and the local library. Also, if you know any teachers or scout leaders or the like, ask if they know how.

Then buy lots of tissue paper (try dollar stores, then discount stores before going to craft stores, to save money). Have everyone make enough flowers to string together to make their own flower necklace.

I've noticed with store-bought ones that they string a flower, then a tube, then a flower, then a tube, etc., so that they don't need as many flowers, and it still looks good. For the tubes, buy a box of straws and cut them into 1" or 2" lengths.


Someone else had a party, and her's was in December:
http://www.birthdaypartyideas.com/html/luau_parties_11.html

--If you google 'luau themed parties' you'll get tons of ideas.

You could also go do lastertag, bowling.

How about a hollywood themed party?
For the invitations, you could have ADMIT ONE tickets. Or, you could have it in the shape of a clapboard. A Hollywood Star invitation maybe?

Right outside the club, you can have a Hollywood Walk Of Fame star tile with your name on it. At the front doors, you could have a Hollywood sign right above.

A red carpet is a must for a hollywood themed party. It's perfect for your enterance, then you can have lights shine on you as you walk in.

As for decor, maybe you could have posters of celebrities on the walls. Get some ballons saying Hollywood on them, a clapboard, and a film reel balloon. Also, table confetti with like cameras, rolls of film, that sort of thing. You can have swirling stars coming from the ceiling, and lanterned garlands. Red, black, and gold are the best colors to have.

For lights, you can have a Hollywood movie camera lamp, or a hollywood studio lamp. There's also star sparkle lights, which you can buy from one of the links below.

These sites have really good ideas and where you can buy some of these things. Everything's pretty cheap:

Or, you can rent out a party center and a DJ. That would be fun too. Good luck and have fun at your party! :)

I could really use some pictures of cool, shoulder-skimming, shaggy haircuts. I need bangs too, which would look good with my hair up. My hair is sort of thick, but shaggy layers could thin it out. Can anyone help?

I'm getting my hair cut like this:

http://www.tiscali.nl/images/3/2/Hilary20Duff2011.jpg

Maybe get something like that? I'm getting the bangs a little longer though. If you google or go to msn.com there's tons of really cute hairstyles. Type in something like 'side swept bangs.' Good luck!

Ok so im redoing my room. I want to get a new bed set. So i went online and picked out 3. Which one should i get?

#1- http://www.wakeupfrankie.com/ensemble.asp?ensemble_id=127#viewer

#2- http://www.wakeupfrankie.com/ensemble.asp?ensemble_id=168#viewer

Or #3- http://www.wakeupfrankie.com/ensemble.asp?ensemble_id=66#viewer

Please just give me your opinion. I really like all three. Thanks ;)

I'd go with #3. The first one looks comfortable, but it would be impossible to clean and stuff. And then, I just liked the third over the second. I think the colors mesh better, and it would be easier to find things to match with it.

I was wondering if side bangs were girly or emo/punk hairstyles, or if they could be both in different ways? I want to get side bangs but so many people have them so can anyone give me pics of side bangs or a cool different hairstyle that's not to wild but pretty simple? (I don't want any layers cause I like looking like The Grudge with my hair ;].... and I don't have any pics of me either cause I don't have a digital camera :|. 13/f) Thanks!

They can be both. It depends on how the rest of your hair is cut.

PUNK--http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k158/gothic-emo_seriously/40-1.jpg

GIRLY--http://cdn.channel.aol.com/aolr/ashley-tisdale-400-021507.jpg

I can't really find a side bang hair cut that no one else really has, unless you want like punk/emo. Most of the girly side bangs are pretty similar.

so im going on a cruise in september and there is going to be a formal dinner the first night. i don't know how i should wear my hair. my dress is strapless so i want to keep atleast half of my hair down. my hair is really light brown or super dirty blonde. its almost below my boobs. so how should i wear it?


thnx :)

It would be really cute if you curled it, then left it half up, half down--

[minus the vail, haha]

Then, get really thick bobby pins, a claw, or clear ponytail, or anything to hold it together :)

What is the best shampoo and conditioner for these features

I want-

No frizz
Flat hair
shiny hair
smooth hair
smells good
repairs damage

any good shampoo's and conditioner that control these??


Oh and another question- Is it good to use 1 specific controlling brand for shampoo and then another brand for condtioner?? for example

Sunsilk de-frizz as shampoo and then Herbal Essences Dehydration conditioner??

is that healthy or good? thank you for your time

I wouldn't think it's bad to use two different brands-I do. I use Pantene ProV and Vive. Vive works amazingly. It makes your hair soft and silky. I personally wouldn't want to use both shampoo and conditioner that do that to your hair, because it makes my hair look greasy.
If you color your hair, use a shampoo and condition specifically for it. It'll make the color last longer and protect it.
Also, to prevent damaging your hair, if you staighten it, blow dry it, or curl it often [anything that puts a lot of heat on your hair], use a creme that'll protect your hair. That too will make your hair smooth and smell good.
You can try using a friz spray. [It's by Treseme, I forget what it's specifically called, but its a spray and it's in a clear bottle.]

I got a hair cut recently and it turned out really bad. the front is like just above shoulder length and the back is like middle back length. it looks really bad. Any ideas on how to change my hair with out cutting it to short?????

I can't really think of any other solution besides cutting it shorter. You could angle it in the front, and the back a little longer [like Jennifer Aniston]. You don't have to cut off a lot. I'm sure it would still look cute. Sorry if I wasn't much help, but it was the only thing I could imagine that would still look cute.

ok..so if you straighten your hair like evreyday..or almost everyday..will your hair be like gross and damaged? and if it does happen how long does it take? because i straightened my hair for a whole semester like everday! and this week i straightened it everyday! so what happens?

It doesn't really damage it, as long as you use products to protect it. Right after I take a shower, I put a spray in it [V05 is good]. Then, I brush it, and put in a creme [I think it's by Studioline, but anything would work, really]. It also helps protect it. I don't straigten my hair as much in the summer, only when I'm going out, but in the school year, I straighten it almost everyday, and no damage was done on my hair. Like the others said, use a good shampoo and conditioner to also help keep it healthy and you should be fine.

can anyone find me the tables in this picture or something similar? i cant order offline. thank you. i would like them for in my room

http://bedzine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/funky31.jpg

I looked at a few stores and couldn't find anything, but I'm sure you can get it at Target, Wal Mart,or Bed, Bath, and Beyond. They don't show everything online, so they might have something similar.

I want to buy bracelets and necklaces for the new school year.
Can someone give me examples of stores that sell cute and not too expensive jewelry?

Wet Seal has cute and cheap jewelry. Or, if you a a Dots in your area. Claire's is okay when you get thing on sale, and the items aren't that great of quality. Body Central has a lot. Everything is about $6 there.

this is going to sound really wierd, but do you know hannah montana's hair? she has like very loose curls and such and i was wondering if anyone knows how i can get them. i have REALLY thick hair and its guess you could say medium length. i have used hot rollers but they never seem to stick. thanks

Get a curling iron like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Revlon-Perfect-Professional-Ceramic-Spiral/dp/B000FS05VQ/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-2178986-0562541?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1184779531&sr=8-1

Make tight curls. Then, brush it out with your fingers. Don't use a brush. Add a little hair spray, and you're done.
You could also use a curling iron that's an inch or two thick. But I like the first one better.
Be prepared to sit there for over an hour to do your hair. I have really think hair too, and it's kind of long, and it takes me a good hour and a half to curl it. Just watch TV while you do it and time will go by much faster. Good luck! :)
