I was confused before I got to know you, because your pictures often had a blue tint. It gave it a gothic look, to my mind. :)

But not because of the haircut. Every cell in your body gets replaced every how many days? I forget.

28. Dunno, but I had heard that every single molecule in your body
is replaced after 7 years, so you could say you have a completely new body at that time.

Of course, claiming to be less than 7 years old may not have the desired effect. ;)

Edited on Wed Mar-01-06 10:21 AM by GirlinContempt
and a grey calflength skirt. So probably any of those things plus a blouse and cardigan :)

They actually looked kinda cute with jeans (NICE jeans mind you), if I did a good shirt with them and the right purse.

I got a purse for christmas thats black with a piece of pink tweed on the front that is the same colour scheme. Not as coarse as the shoes, but I'm pretty sure it's the same colours. Hmmmm....

54. I think that's the first time I've seen what you look like!
:hi: Looking good! What a cutie you are! How long have you had the piercings? Did they hurt? Do you wear them all the time? Just curious...

The reason I ask is my 9 yr old dtr got her ears pierced with her two best friends last Oct for her 9th bd. She was so brave by going first of the three. She did everything perfectly for the two months of wearing the studs: cleaned them 2x/day, spun them regularly. After 2 mos., she changed them out to gold studs, wore them fine for 5 days, then suddenly one of her ear piercings started bleeding, inexplicably. She freaked, we took them out, let them "rest" a day, then tried again. Of course, by then it was too late. They'd closed up and she didn't want to try to push through b/c she was still freaked. Bottom line, it was a bust and we went through several days of her being seriously bummed out about it. Esp. b/c her two best friends had NO problems, whatsoever. Sigh.... She's fine now, though, and wants to try again when she's 11. She's picked that age, for some reason. :)

Aren't you absolutely fascinated by all this ?

59. Aw, thanks Shine
I've had my labret for, I guess nearing 10 years now. My septum only about 4 years. I take them out sometimes for work depending on what I'm doing and who I'm seeing, but otherwise I leave them in. The labret didn't hurt at all, the septum hurt like HELL but that was my own fault. I flinched when the needle was going in, so half way through my piercer had to reposition. A needle. In my nose cartilage. NO FUN.

If she gets them done again, I'd suggest getting them done by a professional piercer, using a real needle, and get little CBR (Captive bead ring) hoops in them. You can get them REALLY REALLY TINY, the same size as 'normal' ear piercing jewelery. They're safer on the ear, usually higher quality, and easier to clean because they can turn fully through the piercing so y ou can both get your cleaning solution IN, and OUT much much better. You can also go for a surgical steel in the same style, which is good for new piercings because it's medical quality material and won't irritate the skin. Those guns and little studs cause more scarring, keloids, infections and diseases than you probably even wanna KNOW. Just my $0.02

and those gents will be happy to kick away the curs.

Nevertheless, since we all know that nice girls don't wear cha-cha heels, may I suggest cha-cha heels?

64. I believe, coming from a long line of shoe people,
that those ARE cha cha heels. ;)

Unless you mean old-school ones, with the heel a leeeetle smaller and shorter, set in the middle with no slant from the back.

*ahem*

69. Hey, I could be wrong
But, I mean, generally the cha-cha is done in shoes like these:


Though a character heel is, I believe, considered also appropriate

Not that I, uh, own any ballroom dance shoes or anything.
