Would this look good (details & pic inside)?

This is the hairstyle I'm thinking about:



http://s181.photobucket.com/albums/x187/...



My hair is naturally dirty blonde, and I was thinking of getting my hair cut like this and adding red highlights (not all-over color, just streaks or chunky pieces of red).



What do you think? 閳?br>Would this look good (details %26amp; pic inside)?



I think red would be great! I favor red because I'm a red head too.



Try applying the red with a tempary color first. If you go permanent, it might be too dark over your blonde, plus add a clear glaze over your blonde, it would be weird to see shiny bright red mixed up with dull blonde hair. There will be a difference between colored hair and virgin hair



(the shine)



Would this look good (details %26amp; pic inside)?

thats soooo cute!



Would this look good (details %26amp; pic inside)?

The hairstyle might be cute but it really depends on the face shape you have. Also I would pass on the red streaks because red does not compliment dirty blonde hair a pink or blue would be a better choice.....



Would this look good (details %26amp; pic inside)?

its ok ! but i dont like it to much .....



but its what u want not me so if you like it go withe it i thik its too short..........but i like the idea of red streaks, but that dose not go with blond hear so i think pink would look beter...and also The hairstyle might be cute but it depends on the shape of the face you have.

That Would Look So Great! %26amp; It's Not Common, It's Wild, Difference, %26amp; Awesome! GO FOR IT GURRRL! =]



Would this look good (details %26amp; pic inside)?

i think i would be cute on you but instead of keeping it blonde color your hair jet black and then the red streaks would look gud wit the jet black

I like it alot :)

Makeup for my face??

I was wondering what makeup I should wear:



I have dirty blonde hair (almost light brown not entirely) blue eyes that are usually dark and small almond shape. I also don't really like my nose and would like to draw attention away from it and to my eyes. I have medium sized lips and medium light complexion color. I have pretty defined cheek bones and a oval face. I also have a foundtaion that I put on (liquid) then I put light powder over it but around my nose, lips and chin it ends up making my skin look dry and flaky no matter how much moisturizer I put on, what can I do! Also my mascara and eyeliner fall undermy eyes all the time! My hair also has these little flyaways that never go away and I dont know how to make my hair shiney. After I blow dry it, it will look nice for 5 minutes and then the pieces section and the ends become knotty what can I do so I can leave it looking nice all day? For my makeup- how can I turn it from day to date or night makeup?



Makeup for my face??

ok well your face structure sounds just like mine i hate my nose,my face is oval,and i have almond haped eyes.



but any ways first you need to get water proof eyeliner(to keep it from runnin down under your eyes)then you need water prooof mascara its not a must but its good to have but make sure its a thin like brush so it seperates your eyelashes good and dont make you have clumpy eyelashes.then you need a blush.pink is the best thing to use and you need a make up brush to use to put it on with and just dab it over and over up your cheek bones never sweep down.then you need some lip liner.just what ever color you prefer and make sure when you put it on you put it on the very edges of your lips it gives them more volume.then on the insides put another color of lipstick a color thats a little darker than your lipliner and top it with a clear lip gloss.the eye shadow is better to use a dust rather than a liquid and put one color on the part of your eyelid that covers your eyelids then put a light color starting at the other color all the way up to the bottom of your eyebrows.



you hair just get a bottle of some thing made for hair thats frizzy and put it on it while its wet than blow dry your hair with your head upside down that way it gives it more volume to



but my hands are getting tired from typing so if you have any other questions just email me and good luck!



Makeup for my face??

Don't use powder near your nose, it accentuates what you don't want accentuated...use some mattifying cleanser or something like that...



Try using a clear mascara for a subtle look...



use some shine serum on the hair...sunsilk has a good one...



to go from day to night, just amp up the colour...use deeper shades of your day time look, play up the eyes and you can go glossier on the lips...



Makeup for my face??

for mascara this one kind i have drys before u blink so u wnot have it on your eye and its call "Azenala". it works. to make your hair shiny get that fruit thing watever cuz it works.*trust me*. now for your face looking flaky you dont get moisterizer you get this soft cream stuff,to make your hair look good all day jus bring a comb and brush in your purse wit u cuz i hav that problem too. now for that day to night make-up,in day use some light make-up like it only shows on your face like 1percent but i still looks like you have make-up on and for night make it heavy but not black or anything too dark. maybe you can use darker blush a little bit of darker lipstick and use some dark eyeshadow that goes with your eyes!!!!! %26lt;3 your welcome!!!!!!!! I hope it orks for you!!!!! %26lt;3



Makeup for my face??

I would recommend bare minerals make up... its really nice and actually good for your face. It's kinda pricey but totally worth it. It gives you that natural beauty look.



For your hair I would recommend taking hair spray in your hands, rubbing it together and then softy putting it through your hair. I have curly/wavy hair and I do this when I straighten it.



Good Luck!

Do you remember when?

The telly took five minutes to warm up



Nearly everyone閳ユ獨 Mum was in when you came home from school



No one owned a pure bred dog



When I shilling a week was enough pocket money



White dog poo on the street



When you only had to come home when the street lights came on.



Your Mum wore stockings that came in two pieces



Every male teacher wore a tie



Every female teacher had her hair tidy every day and wore high heels



You got your windscreen wiped for free at the petrol pump



Cereals had real toys hidden in the box



You thought is was a privilege to be taken for a meal by your parents to a real restaurant



A Ford Capri was your dream car



When your school threatened to keep you back a year if you didn閳ユ獩 do better閳ワ腹鈧腹鈧泧nd they did!



No one ever asked where the car keys were, because they were in the car, in the ignition, and it was unlocked.



Lying on your back on the grass with your friends saying 閳ユ涪hat cloud looks like閳ワ腹鈧腹鈧腹鈧?br> Playing footie without adults to tell you the rules of the game



Stuff from shops came without a safely cap or hermetic seal because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect stranger



When being sent to the headmasters office was nothing to what you would get if your parents heard that you had been sent there



And with all our progress don閳ユ獩 you wish that you could slip back just for a day and savour the slower pace with the children of today



Basically we were in fear of our lives, but not from drugs or gang related crimes



But our parents and grandparents were a bigger threat



But we survived because their love was greater than the threat



Summers spent at the beach, donkey rides, powder lemonade, hoop la, bike rides that went on for miles.



When snow was so thick you never saw grass for weeks



When you read The Famous Five and Secret Seven



Watching Laurel and Hardy, Roy Rogers and The Lone Ranger at the pictures



Newsreels before the movies



Do you remember what a double dare was



Milk deliveries in glass bottles on the doorstep



Pogo sticks



Four digit telephone numbers



Red phone boxes where you had to press button A then button B



Metal ice cube trays



45 rpm records



Spud guns



Izal toilet paper



Twin tub washing machines



Reel to reel tape recorders



Bazooka Joe pink bubble gum



Mojos



Two bob for a gallon of petrol



Decisions were made by eeny meeny miny mo



Race issues meant who won the relay race



Being caught in school with a weapon meant a catapault



Being belted at school and your parents never had the teacher charged



There was no TV till 4pm



Spinning round, stopping then falling down was a cause to giggle



Putting playing cards into the spokes of your cycle turned any bike into a motorcycle



Taking drugs meant getting the polio injection



If you remember all of these then you have LIVED



Do you remember when?

Oh yeah! What days they were. I wish I could take my grand-kids back to those days. The poor kids miss out on so much these days. The biggest thing they miss out on is being able to wander the streets day %26amp; nite like me %26amp; you %26amp; everyone else from that era did. Of course the kids, and the people who had negative answers to your question, would not realise or even begin to be able to comprehend, the freedoms we did have back then. Some of them were;



1. The ability to take the punishments for what we done wrong, which in turn, made us into respectful adults.



2. The freedom from being "protected", which made us learn to be able to protect ourselves.



3. Being able to eat what we wanted, because we would burn off the fat from that cream bun, by playing outside, instead of playing on-line/ electronic games, or watching "Big Brother","Idol" and the rest of the droll on TV



4. The freedom to think for ourselves, instead of being subjected to the media and marketing brainwashing, which makes todays kids believe that they have to have this, that, %26amp; the other, and all at ridiculous prices for brand name stuff.



5. We suffered the pain of learning to spell, write, add %26amp; subtract, so that later on in life, we didn't have to get the calculator out to work out the total for 2 pints of milk and a loaf of bread. We just did it in our heads. I always have the right money ready for the shop chics, 10 minutes before she has added it up on her calculator, and always a puzzled look on her face about how I happened to have the right amount in my hand for her.



6. We had freedom from our "rights", so that we knew exactly where we stood in our world. And our standing was in the shadows of our parents, teachers, police, and all adults in general. We never questioned that, and thank goodness we didn't. With our ability to think, survive and perform, us kids would have run rings around the adults.



7. We had a thing called imagination. We made our own fun. We didn't rely on adults to entertain us. How many times do you hear a kid say "I'm bored". So much for all their console games, and the countless toys they have been supplied with because "They Saw, They Wanted, They Cried, They Got"



I could keep going on, but it boils down to the fact, that it was a good life, we never expected too much, and therefore we were never dissapointed, we weren't drowning in information technology, we had a fear of being caught out, so we kept out of trouble, our parents were allowed to be parents, rather than having to play 2nd fiddle to us kids.



Yeah, they were good days........



Do you remember when?

woah, you like writing :D



yes, yes I do remember the good ol' days...



Do you remember when?

I do gosh I must be old



Do you remember when?

Oh yes, the good old days



Thank you!

Do you remember when?

I remember them all. Enid Blyton was my favourite author-read Famous Five and Secret Seven Also Billy Bunter. They were wonderful times.

good one tho!



Do you remember when?

yeah your right!!!i used to really appreciate if my parents took us out for dinner..it was a rare treat!!kids take it for granted now!



Do you remember when?

some things before my time. Im 40 and was born in 67 but a few of those things are true for me.



i remember playing out, being scared of being cheeky to an adult. Doors unlocked. People being AFraid of the police. police having powers they could use. I remember going off all day to play even from the age of 8. I was brought up by hard working parents who gave us everything they could save up for. I respected other people and their property etc.etc.......and I am bringing my children up exactly the same way. I am already proud of them and the way they behave.



Do you remember when?

not many



Do you remember when?

You forgot one, if the Bobby clipped your ear for something, you got a good belting off Dad for doing wrong.



Do you remember when?

I have lived ..... and I feel much older now



Thanks a lot! LOL



Do you remember when?

Ah, Elsie...................I was a little girl again whilst I was reading that. The bit that made me chuckle was, 'Eeny, meeny, miny, mo'



Eeny, meeny, miny, mo,



Put the baby on the po.



When it's done,



Wipe its bum,



Show its mummy what it's done.



Those were the days, girl.

crickey I think I need to emigrate.. xx



edit oi!! I remember nutty bars.. they were my fav (brown wrapper with orange writing?? mmm yum!!!! oh and yeah okey dokey... i am 21 ...again!!! ;-) xx



Do you remember when?

I remember it well and playing hide and seek without the fear of having something bad happen to you, indeed it was the good old days. I like these questions they bring back happy memories that make me smile, thanks.



Do you remember when?

damn telly, i always got caught watching it. It took an hour to cool off



spinning until you hurled, then did again



only four or five channels on the telly



a star 4 you!!!



Do you remember when?

I also remember spending my last farthing on a Blackjack chew.



Do you remember when?

those were the days the best



Do you remember when?

Every single one of those brings a memory and a smile - does it not make you really wonder - things really were simpler back then - there was certainly less stress so why did it all change? Supposedly times are changing to make things easier - for who? Life is so hard, fast and complicated now - I wouldn't want to be a kid growing up now in this ever changing fast paced world, but I suppose I look back at my childhood through rose tinted specs.



Thanks for this question i will now go to bed with a smile reminiscing x



I remember nutty bars too - very tasty mmmm x



Can I just add about the white dog poo - yes it is true we did used to see white dog poo on the pavements etc, the reason for this was they used to put chalk in dog food to bulk it out - they not allowed to do that anymore!



Do you remember when?

No but some of those things still apply to me



Do you remember when?

That is one long question. I'm not old enough to have experienced half of those things.



Do you remember when?

you must be old



Do you remember when?

no. i really dont ? whts a shillling?



Do you remember when?

do you remeber when people didn't write long questions on y/a



Do you remember when?

thats been going around for years



Do you remember when?

Not this nostalgic, rose tinted view on the past AGAIN - I've lost count of how many times this has been posted.



Do you remember when?

ok people cant really be bothered reading all this i read up to the dog poo bit. but no i was born in 1983. why were the poos white???? how old are you??



Do you remember when?

could you please send me the name and address of your next of kin as i have a side-line job as a stone mason and i guess that if you go that far back there is not much time left!!



i could then convince them that this is to be your epitaph.



Do you remember when?

If you call that living, that is sad! it's not living, it's grounghog day.



'Lived a full life' is not the above, that is just OLD, inside and out!



but then again, 'nostagia is not what it used to be'.

How about the days when you could leave your front door unlocked. When you you knew your neighbors by their first names. When going to church every Sunday was an eventfor the entire family. When You could Pray openly in school without having to be Muslim. When there was Pride in our Flag, Servicemembers were treated with respect. When you called any man older than you Sir and any older woman was Ma'am. When you could put your child in front of a TV and not have to worry about the Parental Rating system. Or the days when if you did something wrong, your teacher would whoop your butt, and then get another whooping when you got home. Oh......my goodness, I could go on and on



Do you remember when....? Then you have lived.?

I do. And I'm only 16. That's what cheap parents and a Catholic school do to you.

Do you remember when....? Then you have lived.?

Those were the days



Do you remember when....? Then you have lived.?

The days before computers and the internet?



When kids left school at 15 and went to work in low paid factory jobs because they were expected to?



When girls who got pregnant were forced to give up school to get married to boys who hated them because they had to get a lousy factory job?



When people of colour had different schools and you were allowed to call immigrants rude names?



When mental patients were conveniently hidden in locked wards?



When industrial waste was considered a good thing to put in your local river ....



Yeah, boy, those were really the days!!!



Take off the rose coloured glasses people ... times change for a REASON!



Do you remember when....? Then you have lived.?

You are an American yes. But the good days were just that even in the U.K. But we must move forwards, pity we have left the good manners and innocence behind.



Do you remember when....? Then you have lived.?

Yes.



We used to share the bath water which cost the earth to heat up, ONCE a week.



Mum would do one plate of bacon and cheese and we all had a sandwich off it.



We would sit hours whittling a piece of wood because there was nothing else to do.



We made the beds in a morning by first stripping off all the layers and replacing them one by one.



Floors were cleaned with a scrubbing brush and hard lumps of polish which was horrendous to shine.



Holidays were a trip to the local beach where it took half of the day to find somewhere to sit.



Playing outside was safe, so mum would turn us out with a bottle of water and a jam sandwich, not allowed to return until teatime.



Laundry!!!! Ahhhhhhhhh



Yes I lived.



Do you remember when....? Then you have lived.?

OMG! Candy cigarettes with the tip coloured red! They tasted foul but we all thought they were sooooo cool!!

Hi Dib - in the UK we can buy tea-towels printed as follows:-



"We are Survivors"



We were born before television, before penicillin, polio shots, frozen foods, Xerox, contact lenses, videos and the pill. We were born before radar, credit cards, split atoms, laser beams and ballpoint pens, before dish-washers, tumble driers, electric blankets, air conditioners, drip-dry clothes ...and before man walked on the moon.



We got married first and then lived together (how quaint can you be?) We thought "fast food" was what you ate in Lent, a "Big Mac" was an oversized raincoat and "crumpet" we had for tea. We existed before house husbands and computer dating; and sheltered accommodation was where you waited for a bus.



We were before day care centres, group homes and disposable nappies. We never heard of FM radio, tape decks, artificial hearts, word processors, or young men wearing earrings. For us "time sharing" meant togetherness, a "chip" was a piece of wood or a fried potato, "hardware" meant nuts and bolts and "software" wasn't a word.



Before 1940, "Made in Japan" meant junk, the term "making out" referred to how you did in your exams, "stud" was something that fastened a collar to a shirt and "going all the way" meant staying on a double-decker bus to the terminus. In our day smoking was "fashionable" "grass" was mown, "coke" was kept in the coalhouse, a "joint" was a piece of meat you ate on Sundays and "pot" was something you cooked in. "Rock Music" was a fond mother's lullaby, "Eldorado" was an ice-cream, a "gay" person was the life and soul of the party, while "aids" just meant beauty treatment or help for someone in trouble.



We who were born bfore 1940 must be a hardy bunch when you think of the way in which the world has changed and the adjustments we have had to make. No wonder there is a generation gap today...BUT, we have survived.



Do you remember when....? Then you have lived.?

Are there a lot of us 70s kids here or are you all old school friends of mine LOL as it all sounds like my memories. I remember the school uniform , Red %26amp; Black .



when I was 10yrs I skipped school with my little brother %26amp; sister who threatened to tell on me unless they could go to anyway we were hidding in a block of flats on afternoon when we heared a sound so we duct into a coal buncker only for it to beopened by our headmaster who was also skivivg . When we went home at the right time so as not to be found out when my mum asked me for the first time how school was that day I should have guessed some thing was a miss . I relpyed it was ok the next ting I knew my mums hand had made contact to my lieing face, the head master had phoned next door to speak to mum %26amp; to tell her of his find lol Wee transiter radio's Cd's weresomething out of this world never mind vidio's the only thing girls had to worry about was tring to keep there Sunday dresses clean %26amp; every morning being asked " have you got clean underwaire on ? before you left just incase you were knocked down ( as if that is all your thinking about as you have a great big wagon ontop of you



Do you remember when....? Then you have lived.?

Wow, we must be close to the same age, because most of those things are from my childhood - growing up in the 60s.



Some notes - my husband and I gave up a lot so I could be a SAHM, to have that same wonderfulness we both grew up with, having a mom be at home. Great for the family and for the marriage.



- the one that resonated most for me was going out to dinner with parents - that was indeed a rare and special event! Felt SO grownup, and could even have a Shirley Temple!



- last Hallowe'en I found candy 'sticks' that tasted just like the old candy cigs - they were great!



Actually, not much was 'bad' from the 'good old days' - shame most people have lost much of it...



For me, money wise, I started babysitting at 35 cents an hour. For a movie matinee and popcorn, it was 25 cents. We had what were called "Coke shows" - if you brought in a certain number of bottlecaps you could attend certain matinee showings free - and you got a little mini coke bottle (sure wish I had THOSE NOW!!).



My first real job - I was 12, working at a library, and minimum wage was $2.25 CDN.



Getting a bag of penny candy for 10 cents at the corner store. Popsicles were seven cents.



Living in a small city, and being totally free as a kid to leave the house on our bikes, with mom reminding us to be 'back for supper', and we would just take off for the day, exploring...



no worries about pedophiles or danger at all!



Do you remember when....? Then you have lived.?

I do,but what is your point.



Do you remember when....? Then you have lived.?

Yes I remember all those things, and I miss them all.



Things were better then.

'Picture Puzzle Piece' by Shel Silverstein?

I'll post the Poem:



Picture Puzzle Piece



By Shel Silvertein



One picture puzzle piece



Lyin' on the sidewalk,



One picture puzzle piece



Soakin' in the rain.



It might be a button of blue



On the coat of the woman



Who lived in a shoe.



It might be a magical bean,



Or a fold in the red



Velvet robe of a queen.



It might be the one little bite



Of the apple her stepmother



Gave to Snow White.



It might be the veil of a bride



Or a bottle with some evil genie inside.



It might be a small tuft of hair



On the big bouncy belly



Of Bobo the Bear.



It might be a bit of the cloak



Of the Witch of the West



As she melted to smoke.



It might be a shadowy trace



Of a tear that runs down an angel's face.



Nothing has more possibilities



Than one old wet picture puzzle piece.



I need to know if it has any of these types of poem in it.



Metaphor, Simile, Alliteration, Assonance or Personification.



Thanks :]

I will help you get started on your homework:



metaphor: a figure of speech in which an expression is used to refer to something that it does not literally denote in order to suggest a similarity



simile: a figure of speech that expresses a resemblance between things of different kinds (usually formed with `like' or `as')



alliteration: The repetition of the same sound, usually of a consonant, at the beginning of two or more words immediately succeeding each other or at short intervals. Example: The repetition of f and g in fields ever fresh, groves ever green



assonance: the repetition of similar vowel sounds within a line or succeeding lines of verse. Example: the short i and e sounds in Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra: "then is it sin/ To rush into the secret house of death/ Ere death dare come to us?" Autobiography--An author's own life history or memoir. Example: The Education of Henry Adams. ...



Personification: a person who represents an abstract quality; "she is the personification of optimism"



representing an abstract quality or idea as a person or creature



the act of attributing human characteristics to abstract ideas etc

It has everything except a assonance
