My ridiculous online dating story:

I heard about OK Cupid the week it went live and went on there to check it out because it sounded like a place where you just take all sorts of tests and then get matched up with likeminded people. In other words, it hadn't completely revealed itself as a dating site.

So, I make a little profile but don't upload a photo, take some tests and then my matches come back and who is number one with a bullet at the top of my list? This dude who was one of my superiors at work, who was very severe and stoic and harsh with everyone to the point of fearsomeness, but here was all mushy and "lookin' for love".

Talk about things you wish you did not know. Needless to say, I decided hell no to uploading a photo because there was no way on earth I wanted that guy to find out we were some sort of ideal match. And, I never went back to that site again. The end. Of course, with no photo, I never had more than 3 or 4 responses, but the only one where the guy actually seemed genuine, it turned out we dated for 8 months. He was a nice guy and I thought we were getting along swimmingly, but he broke things off out of the blue with the only reason being he was still carrying a torch for an old girl friend (she broke up with him after becoming a born again Christian and him a non-practicing Jew, yikes). Whatcha gonna do? People are dumb as a box of rocks.

I AM going to take this red thing to heart though. Does having a closet full of black clothes mean I will seem like a scary woman to all these gullible men? :p
Great story! In NY a closet full of black clothes means you're cool & chic

HELL NO! Keep doing what you are doing hg!
My grandma always wore RED lipstick bright red in fact.
Just because you are mature doesn't mean you have to be an old bitty with no lipstick lipstick ya know.

I actually think mature women who wear bold colors are happier.
I would like to think when I mature that it would be acceptable by the beauty world to wear my bold brights and darks.
I'm happy Dolly Snow

Am I understanding this correctly - is this your hot mamma friend or did you let your friend use your hot mamma photo to lure in the responses? I've been gritting my teeth against the possibility I will have to give in and try the online dating thing, but god damn, I will remember to wear an outfit that's red like a baboon's butt, if so.
True story----2 relatives announced their intent to divorce, they are living apart and getting on with their lives. They each joined Match.com unknown to the other and were put together as a match.

no kidding.. and I totally believe it. But, I do think MAC is going to "alter" the packaging down the line.. don't know when yet.   my psychological tools and triggers were pre programmed.. lol.  I wear a lot of reds.. and it is a statement colour  and worn with red lips too.. lol  2x the sting! THIS is what I would love for my hair!
This is quite elegant and classy, and I like it. I suspect that mine will be white gray, and I don't know what the hell to do with that (other than dye it).

Gorgeous beautiful ladies! These pictures and nice comments all round here are cheering me up big time. I had the worst exam to day. I arrived totally late, panicking and stressed out because I couldn't find the right building for the heck of it. Not a nice way to start the day and a super important test. I even considered taking the subway to the city to get a MAC goodie to cheer me up.. now it's just online make up. I'm satisfied with myself for not breaking the bank while I'm saving to get something from the upcoming LEs, though.

MAC Sheer Seduction ( I am wearing it today )
e0da1d72_image.jpeg
really beautiful I passed on this one why it looks so beautiful on u.
Here's a few from my collection, limited shades that I wish Mac would re-promote. Sorry if that's more irritating than anything, since it's not like you can rush out and buy them, but maybe people can suggest some dupes? I've found these particular ones really difficult to match. Lollipop Loving- peach with green-gold shimmer. Peach shades almost never work on me, but this one is a really nice nude Bubblegum: cool lavender pick with gold shimmer (This one and LL are both glazes, which I feel is a really underrated formula from Mac. They can be sheer, but they do definitely have a personality.) Strawbaby: soft coral red with blue shimmer. I get compliments on this whenever I wear it. I can't believe this one has never been brought back. Blooming lovely: Greyed lavender. It's a much cooler shade than Lavender Whip (plus it's an Amplified Creme, so it's more opaque), considerably lighter than Up The Amp Isis: I cannot capture the full beauty of this one. It's a cool taupe base with very fine silver and green shimmer. Unbelievably gorgeous. It was a permanent shade for Mac up until about 2002. Haven't seen anything like it before or since. Incredibly creamy frost, too. So Original: Deep purple-berry with silver and light gold sparkle. The sparkle on this one is a little grittier than some (although I don't find it irritating) and somehow makes the lips look fuller and smoother, more so than almost any lipstick I've ever tried. I don't know how that works, but I assume that it's because the sparkle is so reflective. It does not read like glitter at all and nothing migrates from the lips.
loilpop loving and strawberry are some of my faves I be scared to use because I only have one of each they are beautiful on u
