Q: I have this plain black babydoll top.
I love it but it's a bit plain so I thought teaming it with black skinny jeans, some heels and a gray,green,white or purple(these are the colors I have) cardigan and a few accessories.
This is for a night out, but not clubbing. More like sitting at a cafe type of place having drinks and talking with friends.

So what do you think?
Or anything I should add/change/remove?

black on black would be a bit much.
but i dooo vote for the purple cardigan with it :]
sounds adorable

Q: Which one is best I cant decied!

Q: What do you think of a girl who wears a tank top,neck tie and a short? cute or not?

Of course you know Im gonna say it:: AVRIL.
That was my immediate first thought when I was scanning the questions.
But it might be soopercute if you put the necktie to good use as a funkyfreshh belt! :DD

yes i typed funkyfresh. its da bomb
yehh dont ask whats up with me today

Q: Has anyone ever got a bad hair cut story??

How did you make yourself feel better?

Thanks

Ohh gosh. Im fifteen/ female
and recently I got a haircut-- brought in pictures and everything
well I went to at least four different places before I got something I liked.
and my advice is to wait a few days, a week if you can before you go back to get it cut.
Itll give you time to reallly think and play with it and stuff. And have otherrr people mess with it as well. Like friends giving you a crazy style or something, lol.
Then laughing about it later

Q: http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u248/whitpay/Scene%20Hair/scenehair2.jpg

how do i get my hair PERFECTLY, NICELY, teaased like the blonde one?what products can i use? mouse hairspray comb what ?

YouTube is a wonderful, wonderful place. Gotta love it! Thats how I learned to do my hair [when its actually styled].
My hair is naturally wavy and I shower at night, comb it straight, let it dry about halfway, tie it up in a sooperhigh messy bun [get volume on top and it doesnt hurt to sleep on lol]. When I wake up I just straighten and tease where needed :DD
experimenting is a must, i know it took me practice to make my hair work

I just use a regular finetoothed comb. You can buy them pretty much anywhere.
Also; in the morning I sometimes spray my layers with a bit of cold water, and work in a bit of wax or SmallTalk 3in1 by bedhead. It does wonders :]
hah this was a fun question ^^ lol

Q: hey lol]
ok so since about the start of the year my hair has gone really dry and i dont know what has been causing it
my new nickname at school is dog hair guy or somehting like that and its not annoying or anything but the chicks arent really going for it lol but thats not the only reason
i use swartzcopf shampoo and conditioner(two different bottles-on with shampoo one with conditioner) or what ever that brand name is, every morning but it makes no difference help on what it is and how to stop it would be greatly appreciated thanks

Your hair could be pretty lackluster due to product buildup. Once a week you can mix a bit of baking soda with your shampoo and WAHLAH! Squeaky clean hair :]
And as for the shampoo. Ive heard that its a good idea to switch brands every so often. Your hair can create some sort of immunity to it.
I used Bedhead Moisture Maniac for a while. It smells sooo good! I couldnt figure out if it was pina colada or what. hah, but I just switched to Dove Go Fresh grapefruit and lemongrass.
Now THAT smells good :DD
Oh! You could try a shine spray if its looking a little dull. If you blow dry/ straighten your hair a lot then try to use a heat spray or cream. Its like sumscreen for your hair!
Just dont use too much. It made my hair nice and straight, but it felt like..DOG HAIR. Haaha, well not quite.

Q: hi, if you have ever seen those sunglasses they look plastic but its like there are strips across the lenses
i'm seeing a lot of people wearing them, does anyone know where i can get them
i'm sure they aren't expensive or brand named or anything like that

you mean the shutter shades?
check hot topic. ive seen them on the website

Q: I'm sick of my hair, and I'm not trying to be a poser but I think "scene hair" is wicked cute. but, I have red hair and I dont ever see people with scene hair my color. I want to do something with it I just dont know what. I was thinking add a different color like blonde on the bottom so it's 2 toned. It looks like this: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=13004386&albumID=51795&imageID=19037708

do you think blonde would look good? if not, what color?

Ohh my gosh! I just got my hair cut yesterday with these pictures as inspiration. I wanted something sorta scene, but I was worried about being too poseurish. It comes down to this: if you get too worked up over being a poseur, you probably couldnt make the hair work anyway! SO dont be boring. Dress cute wherever you go. Lifes too short to blend in, right?

IF you do get your hair cut, be SOOPER specific. Maker sure the stylist gets it right. If you dont like how it turned out dont be afraid to make her touch it up. Its your hair and her job to make sure clients leave happy and leave a good tip.
And I know a girl but shes gingerhaired and youre more burgundy.
Theres a myspace group "DIY & Hair Dye" with TONS of pictures. Click Albums, and on the lefthand column, scroll down to the Burgundy section. Might give ya some ideas. Thats the site that I got mine from :DD

Q: I might get my eyebrows waxed soon so i would like to know if it hurts badly because i have sensitive skin?

It hurts a heck of a lot less than plucking, that's for sure!
I'm fifteen now, I've been doing it for about two years. But some places may use just a dab of numbing spray on the spot or offer wax for sensitive skin.
My friend prefers plucking as the wax makes her break out around the area, but it doesnt bother me.
The wax is always warm and it feels really nice :]

Q: when you go to get your eyebrows waxed, what do they ask you? ive never been in my life or seen it happen or talked to anybody who has ever got them waxed. and i have this picture that is how i want my eyebrows, can i bring it? but yea. i just want to know what the lady will ask me. and how long it will take. and what all they do. (:

Well, most will just automatically do the job based on the natural shape of your brows. Im sure you could ask for them to be a bit thinner or not too thin or a bit of an arch. Ya know? So yeahh, bringing a picture would be useful.
And once youre in the chair, it takes almost NO time at all!
What theyll do is they might ask you if youre sensitive to pain, Id say yes. It doesnt make much of a difference so far as beauty goes.
They might use a special wax for sensitive skin, or give you a bit of numbing spray. The wax feels soo good when its warm. Lol xD
But they pull the paper off reallly quick, and normally I get skeptical when people try to comfort me and say 'oh its just like a pinch'..
but Im honest "D
and the more you get your brows waxed, the less and less it will hurt and the more fun itll be! Really.
**I just started tweezing because waxing can get a bit pricey

Q: Heey!
the bottom layer of my hair is always so disgusting. it gets knotty and snarled with split ends all over. i condition it all the time and the rest of my hairs fine. how do i fix it? please help. thankss!

i have borderline wavy hair btw.

Ugh, you are NOT alone. Theres such a thing as overconditioning your hair. When you use it, just concentrate on the ends. And a wide tooth comb is great for when you get out of the shower. Brushes and finetooth combs can really damage the hair when its wet.
Also, a few times a week mix your shampoo with a bit of baking soda. Its reallly good for getting rid of product buildup.

Q: 17/f

I have the typical "scene-kid" hair cut.
You know, mullet style with side swept bangs. It's reaaaalllllyyyy dark brown at the moment, pretty much black. And I have three white blonde streaks.

I was thinking of going completely white blonde but my mum says it would look horrible. No one thinks I would look good blonde.
I have a fair complexion and very dark brown eyes.

I need a style change.
Anyone help??

Well, I wouldnt chance the big change. Thats just me. I get paranoid its gonna turn out wrong, ya know? But sometimes people get dark hair bleached and it tends to come out sort of orange-ish so you might wanna look into that

bio

Most call me quaint. Im afraid to be blunt.
I dont get out much, either.
Lifes been pretty mellow lately, but I only see it as the calm before the storm. Its okay; I love the rain.
No I cant handle the truth. Just tell me anyway. I love having secrets and I actually sort of like being labeled.
I believe everything, the good, the bad, can change in a second. Someone please tell me otherwise? But I can be...well, stubborn and slightly insane.
Yeah, youve been warned.
I have trust issues and dont take things lightly. Im always asking too many questions looking for what I want to hear. Thats not the best quality to have.
And people often dont understand me, especially when I babble. But hey!
~~--Lifes short. Talk fast.~~And oh. I never take my own advice. Kooky, eh? Yeah, IDK.
forumfulness. experience the insanity..ZWOOOSHH
