    Mal, have a blast tonight! You should be fine (though I'm now picturing you as the dude from Powder) - and even if not, pretty sure you'll be surrounded by lots of smelly sweaty people =)

    In preparation for Lexington tonight, I just did a full body bathe in Gold Bond extra strength body powder. Any talk of a smelly man at the show probably isn't me. Maybe.

    But we will know you by the tell tale powdery residue all over your clothes.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I used to use the Niveena? men's face care line when I was young, single and trying to be my version of a pretty boy. I stopped using it, but now that I am into middled-agedness I wonder whether I should try to preserve what's left of my physical youth. Do any guys here use face cream and think it makes a difference? Any ladies like their men to use face cream?

    Anyone here use a "face setting spray" after make up? Is it necessary? You notice a difference?

    Any panty hose tips? I have winter in the bag but just normal everyday hose....they just rip and don't last. Any better brands out there?
    Oh please let it rain today.

    Go to your closest dance supply place and purchase tights (nude, suntan). Not too much of a selection but they're like teflon.

    I have not worn hose on so many years but I can tell you that when I did, Victoria Secret brand wear/wore like iron. My SIL bought them for all of us who were in her wedding. The shoes killed so I walked shoeless across asphalt and gravel and they were perfect.

    Ok thanks!!!!

    Dead not sure - I heard Victoria was ending the clothing part of their stuff and just going back to bras and panties so I'll check it out! Thanks! Didn't even know they made hose.

    Dance closet supply place?? Not sure what you're ... like "dance" supplies? Costume?

    Thanks again!

    Here's a free tip:

    Wash your face with ice water or simply rub and ice cube with a tsp of honey on the face. Beat an egg white until it peaks and brush onto your skin and let dry. You will feel the stretch in the skin. Wash face with icy cold water.

    And what will happen when we've tried your tip?

    You will be minus one egg and some honey and your face will be cold.

    That's too much. I don't want to have to deal with getting carded again.

    Have you got something that would make me look three months and twelve days younger?

    There's nothing that can be that specific.

    I just heard a news story that straight bangs for men are going to be the next big fashion statement.
    What about it ladies and man?

    I saw a video the other day of a guy who has apparently figured out a great natural teeth whitening solution, just with one brush. 1 part coconut oil (Hedo's fave!), 2 parts turmeric power, a dash of peppermint oil. Mix it up into a paste and brush with it. It supposedly safely works as well as whitening strips in just one brush every few weeks or whatever. I've tried whitening strips - they work, but they cause me a lot of tooth sensitivity, to the point where just air going over my teeth when I breathe hurts.

    That is pretty disgusting looking, lol. I am praying that doesn't catch on.

    Ladies.......Looking for a GENTLE body scrub? Who isn't? Amirite?!?!?!?!?!?

    Mix a 2 to 1 ratio of olive oil and sea salt to make a quick and effective body scrub. This helps get rid of dead skin cells creating softer, more glowing skin. And this natural beauty tip is much cheaper that expensive store bought body scrubs.

    Thank me later.

    This works better with Coconut oil, as it absorbs into the skin better. Olive oil is hard to use on skin because it's skien ratio is much higher, making it less soluble on skin. ( but is why it is so great for cooking.)
