Quite true. Capris make the legs look shorter...not a problem for yours truly, but a common problem for many petite women.

Huzzah for long legs! However there are times when I would like to not be a top contender for most short waisted. Tongue

Quote:

Mother always said that variety is the spice of life. Roll Eyes

Probably beats the daily hot/dry routine here though. Tongue

Well we do get traditional four seasons here, instead of the SoCal set: earthquake, fire, flood, drought. Roll Eyes

Isabeau: Grin

No kidding. *hugs*

Tanai: So you've stolen my figure as well, I see. Grin

Although, technically, the waist is a horizontal line, not vertical. So there's no such thing as being "short waisted." Wink

But I have a short torso & long limbs as well (aye, in addition to having spiderweb tresses, I'm also built like a daddy long-legs spider - a joy for any arachnophobe!) so I know how you must feel about being a mass of only bosom & bottom when you sit down. Grin

And flood?? My dear, I've only witnessed one flash flood in my entire life and it was wayyy up in the mountains during a sudden rain. Mostly, it's just drought, fire...and the odd earthquake on occasion. Roll Eyes

Hair: CWC this morning + Detangling spray on length + VO5 shine spray on the ends. I had to come into work early, so my hair is still drying...I think. Plus, it's raining cats & dogs outside. Cheesy

I brought a hairtie and my pony flipping tool which I'll be using when I finally get a break.

Weather: Yep, it's raining again! Smiley

Strong winds, too. My umbrella bent backwards as I tried to make my way across the parking lot at work. If anyone in the store was watching, they probably got a good laugh. Wind vs. Angel vs. umbrella. Roll Eyes

Bloody useless contraptions!

Stuff: Out of sheer boredom, I visited the mall yesterday. Not the fashionable one that I usually go to, but the one nearest my house. Ohh yes, it's ghetto. Especially after they added the Walmart. Tongue

And half of the stores are closed down and empty. But I realized 2 things: 1.) JCP does not carry khakis in my size. Period. 2.) The Icing has some cool stock right now. I had only a few minutes to check it out last night before they closed, so I plan to go back today. Yes, Miss Goth Couture does occasionally find decent adournments at stores like Claire's and The Icing. Shhhhh.... Wink

Makes you wonder why they refer to it as such. Roll Eyes

ROTFL

All I know is they show flooding in SoCal after like an 1" of rain on TV. Huh

I can one up you. I was trying to wrap up my auto close umbrella when it opened up on me again and I couldn't get it to close again. Tongue

I think someone did laugh, they were lucky I didn't bop them with the umbrella. Cheesy

That might explain it. I can't recall the last time SoCal got a full inch of rain. Roll Eyes

That's great. Let me guess, you no longer use umbrellas either? Roll Eyes

Sakina: Quote:

It's magic. Wink

Hair: Clarified, thank goodness. The new shower caps that I bought are too loose and made of a crunchier plastic. I don't dig them. Tongue

Only leave-in was a light coating of EVOO while hair was still wet, just for detangling purposes. Now, hair is braided and just hangin' out.

Other: The kid from the warehouse at my work came by my office for some manila folders and music recommendations. I was happy to supply both. Wink

As for the blues/bad Elvis band, I don't think I'm going to participate after all. It's a disaster waiting to happen.

(((((Hello my Angel, hugs)))))

It's been quite a while, I wanted to drop in and say hi. I caught up on your new journal quickly and seems like things are as rockin' as ever for you, that's awesome! You're still working, still singing and still a long locked, beautiful goth Pantene sistah Cool

. I miss being around the boards!

Your hair sounds gorgeous as always, and how could it be any other way with you taking such pristine care of it? Cool how it came out red on your new license! Yes, my hair is still short, actually a little shorter than last time as I got it cut again. But, I think that was the last, it might be time to grow it back again, see how fast I can catch up to you!

Love ya! Kiss

Tanai: Strange. I have the automatic opening variety and it works fine, just a pain in the butt to carry around. Especially on windy days. Might as well just take my chances with the rain...it's just water, ya know? Roll Eyes

MAGGIE!!!!!!! *tackle hug* Grin

Always great to see ya, sistah!
Yep, still working, singing and rocking the long locks. Now, I'm finding new ways to rock Pantene - blending with cheaper products really extends its life. Wink

But you shouldn't have too much trouble catching up to me since my hair grows at almost half the normal rate. Roll Eyes

Anywho, don't be a stranger, dearie. You're always welcome here.

Hair: CWC + Detangling spray the last 2 days. What else can I say? It just hangs there! Grin

I think I might be growing weary of the scent of my light conditioner. Every time I take my hair out of its daily braid, it smells weird. Not bad, just weird. Undecided

Perhaps the Suave Ocean Breeze scent doesn't compliment the white floral Pantene fragrance very well. I may switch back to the Soothing Lavender Lilac eventually. It's more goth anyway. Grin

Shtuff: Tuesday, I did a new mani with Revlon's Steel-Her Heart one hand at a time. I'm already sick of it. Tongue

In fact, I didn't even put a topcoat on my left hand and I don't even care. Revlon polish goes on really streaky and is difficult to remove. After Monday, I might have to go running back to a plain ol' Sally Hansen black.

My toenails are screaming for attention as well, but I'm waiting until March. All of my rejected OPI polishes are being ~~wasted on~~ saved for pedicures since no one ever sees them anyway. Roll Eyes

So, this morning I have the early shift at work, and despite being pressed for time, I managed to get more put together than usual. Huh

Doesn't make sense, but I'm not complaining! All of my jeans were dirty, so I pulled my slim fit cords from a drawer and paired them with a collared shirt with embroidered roses. 2 ball studs and 1 crystal stud in each ear, an intaglio rose necklace and an onyx pinkie ring. Oh, and work boots, of course. All black. And I actually made the effort to apply some concealer before I had to rush out the door.
Shockingly, I also remembered to bring food and music to work with me. Wink

Weather-wise, it's been freezing for the past several nights. This morning, it was sunny, but everything was covered with ice...including my car. Roll Eyes

I call my umbrella "wand of rain prevention" because whenever I take it with me (just in case) it fails to rain. It's huge, though, so at least it makes a good beating stick. Just in case. I rarely end up actually using it to keep the rain off me.

As for being "short-" or "long-waisted" I always interpereted that as the vertical length of the portion of one's torso between the bottom of the ribs and the top of the pelvis. On me, it is like half a centimeter (yes that's an exaggeration), so I can relate to the bottom/bosom thing.

That's me too! Grin

If mine's half an inch I'd be shocked. Grin

Skyfire & Tanai: The waistline is actually horizontal - the thinnest part of the body between ribs and hips. Everything else is just part of the torso, be it long or short. And short torsos seem to be common among short women. But hey, we can wear low rise pants without looking obscene. Grin

Hair: Did the usual WTC today. The treatment stayed in for over an hour while I put on a peel-off masque, cleaned my seamless combs and did laundry.
Last night, I did an overnight conditioning treatment so my hair is all kinds of smooth today. And I just realized (again) that I should be at 26" by March 1st.

Other: Had to play "Chinese laundry" with my delicates today and either hang everything or lay it out to air dry before rushing off to work. If I threw it all in the dryer and let it run, my meddling mother would've inevitably found some way to mess with it. I'll give everything a short whirl in the dryer just for shape when she's not around. Better for the fabrics (and the electrical bill) that way anyway. Wink

On a personal front, the keyboard player for my father's band (no, not Moon Pie, thank goodness! Grin

) came into the lobby where I work today for a visit after getting out of the traffic courthouse across the street. The man is over 45, with a young son, and has a crush on me. Roll Eyes

It's so sad. Perhaps he's trying to impress me with his speeding ticket? Grin

Anyway, we "talked shop" for a bit, which to us is music, then he went off to the store for earplugs. hehe As an employee, I get mine for free. Cool

On the financial front, today's payday! Smiley

Thank you, Lord! Now, I must ~~blow it all with reckless abandon and no regard for future emergencies - woohoo!~~ Lips Sealed

carefully consider what to spend it on and how much to save. Wink

Skyfire: Thanx, love.

I've been in kind of a green mood lately, as even my shower products will attest to. I have neon green bodywash poofs, green apple light conditioner, a green shampoo blend and green handsoap. The main colour in my bathroom is also green. Grin

Hair: 3rd day CWC hair Undecided

but I'll be braiding it soon anyway. Whatever.
Yesterday, I used twice the usual amount of EVOO on the length and ends before air drying and braiding my hair. When I took it down at the end of the night, it was soft, smooth and tangle-free. Even after going on several roller coasters. Cheesy

On Saturday, I discovered yet another new use for light conditioner: in-shower body lotion! I really should start a list. Grin

So yes, as I mentioned, I ran out of Suave Ocean Breeze light conditioner and am now using Juicy Green Apple. Updated product list coming soon. hehe

So Much For Saving: Went a little crazy over the weekend. Embarrassed

I bought a gauze skirt from Charlotte that I returned this morning, a black amethyst shower gel from Bath & Body Works (just for the bottle, really), and some new accessories from The Icing. Wink

Cubic zirconia earrings for the 2nd and 3rd holes in my ears, a black rose barrette/pin with black lace and feathers, a thin, black sequin scarf, a peacock feather headband, a peacock feather hairstick and a black aurora borealis crystal bracelet (to match the peacock feather hair toys, of course!). I also ordered 3 pairs of new pants from JC Penney.

Disneyland: Was fun even though my sis & her bf didn't show. For the first time, I joined my parents when they had cocktails and lobster nachos at Disney's California Adventure. Of course, I didn't partake of either Shocked

but my mother said that they had excellent virgin drinks and ordered one for me. Heavens to Murgatroid, was she right! I had what they called a "lava smoothie," which I guess was like a virgin piña colada with tart raspberry syrup.
And just because you can't go to Disneyland without dropping mad coin, I bought a new purple acrylic skull and a black Primal Elements candle with a rhinestone fleur de lis. There's also a cute Jack sweatshirt that I really like, but it will have to wait.
Anyway, good times were had by all. Mother & I took the front seats on the return trip and sang along to old tunes on the satellite radio while dad snored in the back. The whole gang made it back to our place by 9:30.

Laptopless: No new laptop yet. Possibly tonight. We'll see.

Hair: 4th day CWC. Tongue

Today was supposed to be clarifying day, but there was a slight change of plans. I was up at 6 AM and hair was washed, sprayed and braided by 11:30 when I got to work. Yes, very early hours, I know. Tongue

I'll clarify tomorrow.

Also mixed up another conditioner blend, but I probably won't use it until Thursday. There's still just enough remnants in "empty" bottles of Full & Thick and Moisture Renewal conditioner that I can get a day's use out of them...if I shake them hard enough. Roll Eyes

No need to be wasteful.
Soon it will be time to make another shampoo blend as well. After going over my stock of shower supplies this morning, I concluded that I probably have enough shampoo and bodywash to last through the year. Perhaps I should look into getting a Costco membership so I can buy Moisture Renewal conditioner in bulk. I go through 12.6 oz. of the stuff in 2 weeks.

Still Laptopless: Well, Best Buy's laptop selection this week is crap, so I won't be buying a new one anytime soon. Tongue

Must keep watching the ads.
As for the old one, I'll see about donating or recycling it.

Other Stuff: The reason I had to get up and ready so early this morning was because we were having our carpets cleaned when I would usually be in the shower, starting my day. I had almost finished rinsing the conditioner out of my hair when my father pounded on the bathroom door, demanding that I get out because our KS guests needed in. Their return flight left this morning. Sad

After bidding them farewell and readying the house for the cleaners, my father & I opened the cards that our KS guests had left on the kitchen table for us. Enclosed in mine was a $50 Best Buy giftcard.

I love those guys.
