The Chatwalk - Off Topic Thread

OldGoat · 2009-12-11 11:22:54

It's high time that there was a bit of a chatish thread going on in here. I've sounded out some opinions on this and while it's not a popular idea with everybody there are no major objections to it. Now, bearing in mind that I and the rest of the moderators reserve the right to ban anyone on a whim for posting anything we…

I can't wear open toed shoes too, I have fairly bad scars on my feet and no one needs to see that.

Sometimes the pretty shoes break my heart.

Ooooh, shiney new forum, and no threads in it yet. So tempted to post an "In before the Charter" thread but I think Bobblehead might ban me for making a mess of the place.

I'm older than Minecraft goats.

I'll ban your face.

Try using the Beauty forum then. :cool:

(Not that it's working or anything it seems.)

Does anyone know of a good online store to buy Lancome Bifacil?

Is it possible to maybe move some of the beauty threads in F&A into the beauty forum?

Few suggestions

As I said in the other thread, I am waiting until Beauty appears on the list of forums that threads can be moved to.

Apologies, I didn't see that post.

What thread was it in?

Okay, just checked again there and I've moved some threads that I'd planned on moving. Will take a look at your ones now Purple_Bobbin.

Edit: Done. If anyone has any other suggestions let me know.

I have a couple of bunions courtesy of my stubbornness to wear a pair of Topshop plimsolls, I hate my feet.

Urgh...I'm developing a really nasty one on my right foot! I think its because my right foot is slightly bigger than the left so shoes are always tight on it- to go up a size means it won't stay on the other foot though! It's actually agonising if I'm wearing heels and knock it against anything. I have horrible long skinny feet anyway so this is just making them look weirder. I tried on a lovely pair of sandals in Office a while ago but they made my toes look like fingers so it's closed toes for me forever I think:o

Semele it would be worth going up to the next shoe size and getting an insole or something for that one. I have the same problem, my right shoes are always too big, but with an insole and sometimes a heel grip they're perfect, wouldn't even notice them. My poor mother has really bad bunions from wearing ill fitting court shoes when she was in her early 20's (part of then work uniform) and she hates them, one really hurts if she walks a lot, changes the shape of all her shoes (of the ones that actually fit her, only certain types do), so I've always been wary of not wearing heels too much and always making sure shoes aren't too tight.

A friend of mine had bunions by 23 due to her love of crazy heels, by 40 she'll be crippled with them, and the surgery to correct them requires flats to be worn after, so either way she won't be able to wear heels if she keeps going now.

Have to say that I'm lovin' the new Beauty sub forum. It's not a topic that holds much interest for me and now the clothes/fashion side of the forum is a lot more man friendly.

+1

To me, there also seems to be more men posting in general, either starting threads themselves or posting in existing ones.

I don't know if that's as a result of moving all the beauty stuff to the sub-forum or just a general trend but either way, it's certainly a good thing.

I always got the impression that the wdywt thread was for clothes and accessories and make up applications and how people style themselves on a day to day basis/ going out/ dressing up/special occasions etc. Didn't really think it was for people to just post pics of their nails alone. I can understand people adding in what colour they had painted them if it was something that complimented the outfit and they had also posted the outfit but having just pictures of nails and bottles on the thread never really sat with me right. Thankfully, the nail polish thread in the Beauty sub-forum should mean that people can post there now instead.

I have to say the nail polish posts wrecked my head, the WDYWT thread turned into nothing but pictures of hands!

Another reason to love the beauty forum

Glad you're all happy with it! Subforums and the likes take some time to requested and granted, but we got there in the end!

Anyone here heading to the Galway Vintage Fashion & Decor Fair this Sunday?

There's always such beautiful dresses etc at these events, generally none I'd fit into (too tall/big boobed!) but I love looking at the hats, jewellery etc. I've sent my Nan's jewellery to be cleaned to wear to it, just wish it was in winter and I'd wear her lovely fur coat too!

Thoughts on Sheer/See Through tops? I have one I borrowed from a friend and I want to wear it tonight, everyone says it's best with a purple bra underneath but I don't know if I should wear it with a tank? I'm comfortable either way tbh.

I think they're nice with a nice bra underneath.
