(this is actually quite true - xpost to laurel - even one of my close friends, who is pretty observant and fashiony was really surprised when i mentioned once how i was feeling lacklustre b/c my skin was crappy that day - she said she thought my skin always looked good! it certainly does not! but i do usually wear at least some sheer foundation or cover-up tho. on the other hand, i'm sure that there are some people who totally notice - and of course their opinion counts the most right? LOL. ugh. silly.)
i prefer dark grey to light grey

Next time I get my hair done it will be a magentaish red, which will really screw me - I've got a red hoodie that compliments this shade of red perfectly, and will probably be unwearable when I have pink tones. Sigh. Dressing really was a lot easier when I had blonde hair, but I'm only young once!
I am confused about the possible Saleisha.. she looks a LOT like her but I haven't seen those pics before, and the Livejournal ANTM community is very thorough about posting any that are found..

probably her. hard to tell w/out the tootie cut. if it is her, she lookin haggard.

these were on an invite only site for a specific collection. maybe theyre not anywhere else?

I think I am the only person in the world that thinks red & pink look fucking AWESOME together (except if it is a pale pink).

Do you dye yr own hairs, ffm?
Sorry to derail DRESS LUVV.

― tehresa, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:16 (sixteen years ago) link
that 1st dress is so pretty sunny, the blue n black
― Surmounter, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:17 (sixteen years ago) link
isnt it??
― sunny successor, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:18 (sixteen years ago) link
It is BADASS but I feel wicked self-conscious in sequins.
― Abbott, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:20 (sixteen years ago) link
I love the one at the top, the red one, the best.
oh man i LOVE wearing sequins.
― sunny successor, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:21 (sixteen years ago) link
no my mouthy hairdresser (see umm Manbag drama thread) does! She uses some awesome stuff called... uh, Elumen which I would use if I could buy & use on my own hair but I think you have to be licensed(?) to buy/use it. It's organic and crazy long lasting!
I actually do link pink and red but being tall, heavyset and awkward, the last thing I want to do is attempt to pull off daring coordinations. :D

oooooooooooooh!
― tehresa, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:37 (sixteen years ago) link
oh goodness, that's perfection
― Finefinemusic, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:38 (sixteen years ago) link
It looks a bit drapey and unexcited on that model but I think it needs a) some curves, and b) a really matte red lipstick.
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:40 (sixteen years ago) link
so now all we need is ...$650
― Finefinemusic, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:42 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah curves + lipstick OTM
― tehresa, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:44 (sixteen years ago) link
god, laurel, you would rock the hell out of that dress
― tehresa, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:45 (sixteen years ago) link
Haha actually it would never fit me but I'd love to try.
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:45 (sixteen years ago) link
OH AND MAYBE A HAT WITH A VEIL, IT NEEDS THAT TOO.
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:46 (sixteen years ago) link
So anyway. Next?
Next

Does that wool jumper show up? I'm not sure if it's just in my cache....
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:57 (sixteen years ago) link
hey yah thats super cute where is it from?
― bell_labs, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:58 (sixteen years ago) link
Oooh a hat with a veil.. can we add long satin gloves and a cigarette holder?
It does show up for me. I could ROCK the hell out of that outfit!
― Finefinemusic, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:58 (sixteen years ago) link
Here
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:58 (sixteen years ago) link
$339! grrrr
― bell_labs, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:01 (sixteen years ago) link
Step off FFM, you are not 'heavyset,' if you meant that euphemistically.
― Abbott, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:02 (sixteen years ago) link
hey, I'm almost 200 pounds!
― Finefinemusic, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:03 (sixteen years ago) link
l, don't know if you noticed, but you can get half that dress (aka a blouse) for just $375...
― tehresa, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:03 (sixteen years ago) link
I have a killer beer belly :P
― Finefinemusic, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:04 (sixteen years ago) link
you are also 6'1"!!!! xp
i think you could totally pull off daring!!
― tehresa, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:04 (sixteen years ago) link
bell, perhaps <a href=http://cache.net-a-porter.com/images/products/35161/35161_in_l.jpg>this dress<a/> could solve your jumper quest, for a mere $1,795!
― tehresa, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:07 (sixteen years ago) link
ah crap semicolon!
http://cache.net-a-porter.com/images/products/35161/35161_in_l.jpg
thanks tza, Abbott :) I used to be 150ish though about three years ago so I am feeling very ...different.
Oh god that $1700 jumper is divine. Why weren't we born filthy rich?
― Finefinemusic, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:10 (sixteen years ago) link
I loooooooove that zipper dress. Predictably enough. I bet you could make something very much like it for about $50. Not a luxury brand, obv, but who's going to know that you or I hang out with??
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:12 (sixteen years ago) link
seriously! it's only michael kors anyway, i don't understand why it's $1800
― tehresa, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:15 (sixteen years ago) link
laurel, please make me one too. kthxs
― bell_labs, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:19 (sixteen years ago) link

Arrrrgh I need to move so I can sew without rearranging my whole room temporarily.
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:24 (sixteen years ago) link
Tza, those colors are very you! I think they look good together, too. And that's kind of a nice dress.
Hmmmm.
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:25 (sixteen years ago) link
$325 :(
also where would i wear it?
also does that hem look sewn weird?
― tehresa, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:26 (sixteen years ago) link
I can't tell from that photo but satin is REALLY hard to hide anything on because of the sheen. Hem stitches almost always show a TINY bit, even a $325 dress isn't hand-made.
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:27 (sixteen years ago) link
xp to self, I'm sorry, I always have to do that at any mention of mil-e-wah-kee, that and Delaware. "Hi! I'm in Delaware")
― kinder, Thursday, 13 August 2015 13:19 (nine years ago) link
milwaukee is super cool! as is the dress. LL otm re: shoes.
― JuliaA, Thursday, 13 August 2015 13:22 (nine years ago) link
I've visited Milwaukee and loved it. It has a flying art museum (sort of - it has flapping wings), a great market, nice buildings...
― ljubljana, Thursday, 13 August 2015 13:30 (nine years ago) link
I've been to Milwaukee one other time also for a wedding.
I was just in Delaware last week.
I bought the dress btw.
