How vain are you?

Momine, that's just too easy! 

Plus, and most importantly, NO ATTENTION! That is unless somebody is listening in the brain. Oh, wait...

Oh, which reminds me. DH found out recently that his phone is being "overheard." So he told various friends and relatives, and now a whole bunch of them are paranoid and won't tell me anything on the phone beyond "good morning" pretty much.

Selena - busting in here. What cream blush do you use? Taking all suggestions. Lol. Thanks.

Edited to add you may have already told me but have memory like a sieve. Thanks.

@ She has been on my ass for years and years.

Loved the Ostrich picture - LOVED IT.  Imagined bc, self healed, and then begging for attention for it...augghhhhhhhhhhhhhh I have seriously no patience for that...won't read....prefer to google for larry

Momine, how scary! 

Sunflowers, thank you, anyway! It was more the removal of the implants that I thought was the issue. Not something I have had any experience with, but I was really interested in your explanation and attitude, so thought that may be beneficial. 

Just thought I'd mention a good matte, very inexpensive eye shadow, is YBF. I is available on Ebay, Home shopping network, or the YBF website. They make really good neutral Taupe/Browns with no glitter. 

I have always used high end brands,I worked for several, and had my own business doing makeup for events and weddings for years. I found this brand a few years ago and really like most of the products in the range.

Another great  alternative to lip pencil, or can be used in conjunction with, for a really long lasting  lip color is lip stain. I use one from Germany called TKO along with Smashbox Lip Pencil. Revlon makes a stain called Just Bitten. it stays on till you remove it. I have fairly dark natural lips and Natural in TKO with Palm Beach in the pencil are a perfect color. I use colored gloss over it if I want any shine because naturally the other two are matte. 

Just edited to mention great cream blush by Smashbox, or Skinn, and YBF makes a great fine milled Yellow powder and  Yellow base, Neutralizing cream that covers and brightens like nothing else, but again, has no glitter. This range is really worth a look, it is cheap, has great packaging and really covers the Neutral palette very well. 

Thanks sunflower for getting back to me.  It is totally an individuals decision on how they look and feel.  I will see how I feel after having these  implants removed.  At the age of 50 not sure about being without boobs!! I just may not want to go through the hassle of trying with implants again.  Main goal is to feel better and the rest I can decide later.

together - sounds like a good plan!  Getting over the hassle of explantation took me about 3 weeks.  My PS used the same scar line to explant as she did to implant, so that was a benefit.  No new scars.  Notice more sensation now too, so definitely gonna get me a lovely silk camisole someday...

BTW, for anyone bugged by scars - I HIGHLY suggest listening to Carly Simon's song The Scar, on her Bedroom Tapes album.  Brilliant.

My pleasure Mardibra

The hippo is cute too

Okay guys, make me over. My part-time job is ending at the end of March and I finally do not have so many doctor appointments that I have to worry about getting fired for taking off too much so really need to get back to full-time work and am not looking forward to interviewing.

I am feeling old & fat and frumpy and I used to be such a pretty girl. I was shocked at how much being so very sick three years ago aged me. My biggest problem is my hair.

Either from the hormonal problems from my cancer or probably genetics I seem to have female pattern baldness. Daddy had a couple of bald little aunties. My hair is very very thin on top & in the front.it was always very fine anyway. It is naturally wavy but my gray has come in kinky so if I calm that down I really look bald but if I let it go I have a cloud of frizz. My thyroid is fine. I tried minoxidil but it makes my head itch horribly.

All this needs to be on a budget too...sigh...suggestions?

Melissa - I,too, had my head itching from minoxidil although it didn't start itching right away.  Eventually I realized I am allergic to propylene glycol that is used as the carrying agent in that product.  I now purchase Dualgen 5 with no PG.  It is a minoxidil product but with a different carrying agent.  If you want to know the web site from which I purchased it, PM me.  I have been using this for a year now and can honestly say there is no itching and the hair on the top of my head is thicker than I ever remember it being.  I carry the balding gene........bald brother and bald son.  Sending good thoughts.
