I love the title as is, too. *clings to it*

Silly Mommy!

I'll have you all know...

...Yesterday I, actually, checked in with this thread/posts before I went to the MAC webpage to view CoC!

Yeah...how's that for loyalty and dedication?

I ask you?

And I'll swear on my Dazzleglasses that's the truth!

Oh BTW if any of you would like any of my music - Stevie or otherwise let me know I'd love to share!

Thanks! I have 3 empty quads on hand for travelling purposes, as I used to not live with the boy and go spend nights at his place quite often. You can pop the dividers out and use one like that for a blush. If I fill up all 12 slots, I sure as hell need a new 15-pan palette! My orange tangent has been hanging out in a quad for a while.

I love my monster. *snuggles* I am kind of so not in favour of the name change, but, sigh, so be it. There is NO WAY I would see bimbo done away with entirely. If I have my way, I'd love to see the subforum called "Bimbos Unite!" and then have its description elaborate into the crappy acronym. Hahaha... *cough* The acronym is clearly simply for appeasing purposes, in my mind.

As for portable music, I'm an iriver user. I have some issues with ipods... for example, I hate that they are not easily opened by the user. Batteries die eventually, yo. Plus, the fact that the menu doesn't loop really upsets me. So, I got Deirdre, my 20GB iRiver, for about $80. Music is yummmmmmy.

...Pssst, TamEva, what all have you got? I'm noticing a sore lack of Stevie over here for one thing, and I don't mean Wonder.

Hi Susanne! Watch out....QVC can be addicting especially the makeup shows!

Well you are a busy mommy taking care of all of us! With all of us crazy kids running around it is any wonder that you and Mr Spy get anything done!

Wow I missed a lot today! I just wanted to say that I love this tread so much and I hope that by having our own subforum that more people will want to join in on our conversations. I want everyone to feel welcome! Who knew when Samantha typed the words Dazzleglass bimbo that it would turn into all of this. As dorky as it sounds I think of all of you as friends and I am glad that we have gotten to know each other so well. Alright enough with the sappy stuff and on to CoC (I still can't type that without laughing thanks to glam8babe!).

So my mom bought me the three CoC quads but I have to wait until my birthday to get them which is September 12. I don't think that I can wait that long to play with them!! I have to say that video on the MAC website is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. I can't wait to go to the counter tomorrow and play with all of the new stuff!!

Sorry this is like the longest post ever! I hope that you are all well today. Love ya all!

Not at all!

Ladies I've really been Loving all the Drag/Stripper/Aliases you all have.

Ahhh somewhere in a parallel universe -
The likes of Trixie Cross, Mercedes Steel, Charlie Fernback, Patches, and Smudge are being brought down in some 3 month long sting operation by Gillian Crest, and her partner, Cubby Caldwell

 

[elegant-one]

^^^Coach...

Just looking at all the happy stuff dancing around!

Awesome about the Birthday quads (I'd be beggin for them early). I hope you love them. I'm really loving the Spiced Choc & the Coc <-----hahaha lipgloss I wrote that earlier, but then I said I had been playing with my CoC - well, I just deleted it

Hi Everybody!

That's fantastic! I love it.

I also love what you've done to Ms Russian Red there.

I know same here...the nastiness never even dawned on me until Glam8babe and Rebecca made light.

September 12 ....oh NO! That won't do! You need to rescue them.

OMG...can we talk?

What was really goin' on with those CoC face charts?

Whaaaaaaat?

Thanks, Ms. Russian Red didn't want to wait 'till Halloween to make her debut!

I didn't alter her makeup, although, I did take her lipglass off so she simply is matte on her lips.

Scary Face charts...I really was left perplexed. Maybe these are their Halloween Facecharts?

I did love the eyes on Bing and Cherry Blossom, though!

 

[coachkitten]

I think if I beg and plead with my parents they will give them to me early. I made my mom tell me that she got them because she knows that I would flip if they sold out and I didn't buy them because I thought she was.

I told my boyfriend I wanted pigments from the overrich collection for my birthday and he looked at me so confused. We had to have a small lesson today on what a MAC pigment looks like and exactly which colors I wanted. He puts up with so much and I love him for humoring me while I tell him about makeup because I know he doesn't give a rats behind!

I completely agree!

And Momma Spy: I *can't wait* until I get my CoC so I can play with it ^____________^
It keeps getting bigger too (my list, that is) I don't know what to doooo. lol Hopefully something looks terrible on me so I can save money.

It's a smoky, fun look without being too dark....

sounds AH-MAZING! I'm definitely sold on Shadowy Lady fo-sho! (I just needed a slight nudge, it had fallen off the list last night but is so on for my lunch time gallivanting tomorrow!)

I am creative in other rights, but...to come up with an acronym definition for bimbo? ill vote on one but can't come up with one atm. must be hump-day brain farts.

rebecca have fun in myrtle beach! okay i have to now back up a few pgs and catch up!

 

[kobri]

How about we just put B.I.M.B.O.s Unite so it looks like an acronym, but doesn't actually mean anything?

Also TamEva I am always looking for new music suggestions! I haven't loaded most of my CDs onto my iPod yet, but I still have 3200 songs on it already.

Thank goodness I wasn't the only one thrown by the face charts! I agree that we need a thread of Bimbo face charts, sometimes the looks you guys come up with sound so interesting, but I can't always picture the execution.

 

[gigglegirl]

yes. ---lol i said just yes....but now i realize i should add to this. i mean yes like just saying bimbos unite no def'n.

Janice, if you are checking in.....do we really have to have a definition? Can we be Bimbos Unite (Bright Inventive M....) whatnot? Keep bimbos unite just as it is? If not I think we'll be able to deal. Thanks for giving us such a huge honour! (see ppl REALLY love the Specktra community you have carved out here!--ignore tha haters!)

I am lately into Timberland. Shock Value has a lot of faster music I love listening to when walking. My music mix is currently a lot of Finger Eleven, Timberland, JT, Buckcherry, Linkin Park, Three Days Grace (my brother's rock music kinda rubbed off on me).

Okay and I don't know what to think of this today guys, I've been thinking of going to law school. I *think* it is just my kinda freaking out about where my life is headed (is accounting for me?) but the thought of three years of law school, not to mention i'd have to take my lsats and IF i got in, it wouldn't start til next fall. That would put me at graduating at 28...then finally starting a career? I realllly wish there was a way to figure out if i could figure out if i'd like this for career or not.

Attention Makeup Mavens: HELP

TamEva really needs your help!

Like Adina, I'll, also, be hitting the stage this week.

We're doing a Chicago Show this Fri. as a Charity Fundraiser event. Yours truly will be starring as Velma Kelly. I've done it a million times before that's not the problem.

What I need is some fresh ideas in creating my Makeup look as Velma!

When I've done Velma before, usually, I just use Shimmertime Piggie/Sketch/Carbon and smoke it out.

But since the new CoC collection came out I'm wondering if I should rock some of these looks instead. I will definately be wearing Burgundy L/P / So Scarlet Lippie / CoC L/G

...and of course some reflects glitters as a highlight, maybe the Pearl one

Anyone have any ideas for the eyes?

I kinda liked the eyes on Cherry Blossom CoC Face chart w/h Artifact P/P and, even though, it looks scary the eyes on Russian Red face chart w/h the gesso accent.

Or will Shadowy Lady Quad be the answer to all?

Last Pic below is of Kelly Osbourne in Chicago as Mama Morton!

What would you all do? Help!

 

[stv578]

Ladies, I am so friggin' tired. I wanted to respond to so many posts, but my brain just isn't functioning right now! And I wanna get to work early so I can drive a little farther than necessary tomorrow to go to my favourite MAC counter on my lunch!

Of course I am very excited about the news regarding our thread! Ya, we rock! DH has been coming up with some ideas, I'll share them tomorrow! He loves thinking up names for things and we actually won a dinner at the top of the CN Tower once for a name he came up for some project at work!

Katie, I agree with about this thread and feeling like we're all friends! And I gave my DH the same lesson about pigments last Christmas! I'd say it's definitely true love when they actually listen to us go on about make-up!

Anyway, there is so much more I wanted to add, but I'm done!

Oh, TamEva, I'm glad you were able to recover your music, what a shame that would've been. I have yet to invest in an ipod, but really should. I love a lot of the older classic rock, especially the Doors, Hendrix and Zeppelin. I am a rocker at heart, though one wouldn't think so looking at me! Oh, and I should add a little Canadian content as well, as I also really love Neil Young and saw him live twice and thinking about seeing him when he hits TO December 4th.

Anyway, now I really gotta go. But hopefully I can catch up more tomorrow night!

Good night everyone!

Goodnight!!

Man Neil Young puts on a great live show eh? I got tickets in the second row when he came to Halifax and it was a really good time.

TamEva I think you've got the right idea with the makeup. I've also seen swatches of Jampacked over So Scarlet and that makes a great lip too. That era was all about lips, lashes n liner no? It's difficult to picture it any other way than CZJ.

 

[purrtykitty]

TamEva...I think the Shadowy Lady Quad is the answer to your prayers. It would be a fun twist on the original look.

I'm a big rock fan, but I mix in JT, Rihanna, etc...

Hannah...I'll be the first to encourage you to try for Law School. You already work for a law firm, so that could be a great for you since it might even give you an "in" for clerking in the summers. Plus, you'll have a year to keep working there and get all the advice from the attorneys you can.

Start studying for those LSATs pronto because you'll need to take them soon. Starting a career at 28 really isn't so bad. I'm just about there and starting mine. It's definitely doable and you'd be surprised how many non-traditional students (those who go back after a few years) there are. You should definitely do it! It's a lot of work, but so worth it.
