At one of my favourite restaurants. We ended up staying long after most of the other diners had left which is why it looks so empty. Taken about a year ago and I needed to lose some weight! I'm the one on the left btw And yes it was a bad hair day!

There's an interesting new site which allows you to upload a picture and it will compare it against pictures of celebrities. The site is here I tried it with three different photos to get a best match. The top five results for each photo were; First photo 66% Bjork 65% Michelle Pfeiffer...

There are currently large numbers of counterfeit M·A·C products for sale on eBay. Not everyone here knows how to recognise them. Perhaps a thread specifically for discussion of fake items where people can ask about products being advertised and warnings about particular vendors can be posted...

Here we go again; Some folks have already made assumptions about my morals so this post might come as a bit of a surprise. This isn't an attempt to upset or offend but a post born out of my own curiosity. I have a number of good friends here in London and in the USA who work at the upper...

I have a lot of friends with facial and body piercings and they were all extremely careful where they went to get the piercings done. There are considerable risks associated with piercing which people often fail to realise. Be very careful if you are considering having a piercing and go to a...

OK folks, I know some people on the forum have already had cosmetic surgery and I know many others want it. What have you had done and what do you want are you pretty certain you will have done in the future? Here's my list. So far I've had some cosmetic dental work with crowns and veneers on...

I've just got off the phone chatting to my mother. She gave me some bad news. My cousin (she's 27) was in a very long term relationship (many years) but it all fell apart earlier this year. She was of course devastated when it broke up but a few months back she met a guy (30) at college who...

Let's stick to mainland USA (so no Hawaii or Alaska) - assuming that you could get a job or otherwise afford to live in any city in the USA which would it be? I'd be torn between San Francisco, San Diego and New York City I think although there are other cities I like to visit too. Over the...

If anyone's bored go to http://www.google.com and enter the word failure and then hit "I'm Feeling Lucky"

Sometimes I walk past market stalls and see piles of fake Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Burberry goods. I see girls everywhere carrying bags which bear the logos but not the telltale quality of the originals. My own view is that fake goods are naff and they devalue the original brand. I wouldn't...

Call me a prude but I don't think it's big, clever or even necessary for people to swear in their posts on this forum. On many other web forums I belong to swearing is prohibited in the rules and some forums also have a censorship feature which blanks out swear words posted by members. There...

OK, this isn't a joke but is a fascinating demonstration of perception. The link contains a video clip of two teams playing basketball. The clip is quite large (7MB) so it may take a few minutes to download, please be patient. When it has downloaded fully these are the instructions you need...

There are a couple of font colour problems with this skin which is a pity as it's my preferred look. If you edit a post at the footer it will say " Last edited by USERNAME : 10-28-2005 at" but the font colour of the time of editing is the same as the background (#ECD9E4) so it can't be read...

It's probably time to make sure you're running the latest version. As of October 27th this is Firefox 1.0.7 - you can download it from; http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefoxLooking through my server logs it seems there are quite a few folks on Specktra using much older versions which may...

Here in England the government is wrangling over a ban on smoking in public places which is something I'm very much in favour of. I love going to bars in places like New York, California and Atlanta where smoking is now banned. I don't end up with my clothing and hair smelling like an ashtray...

I know I haven't posted any proper EOTD/FOTDs yet but will do when my skin clears up (it's in a horrendous mess right now). When I'm not cavorting around looking like Lara Croft this is what I tend to look like. I'm on the left of the picture (darker hair for those confused by left/right)...

In the last few weeks I have received about a dozen "invitations to become an eBay power seller". I've worked in network and internet security for years and I'm naturally suspicious of any email like this. I have also never sold anything on eBay, only bought and of course closer examination...

Another makeup story from the news archives written by Mark Prigg for the London Evening Standard - http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/til/js...temId=19918090 There's a gallery linked from the story which shows a few celebreties with lots of makeup on and doing a natural look -...

The thread is about Professional Makeup Artistry courses run by the M·A·C Makeup School for members of the public (as opposed to staff) - and yes they do exist because I've just attended the very first and more are coming. I want to spread the word! Thanks, Sarah W
