Wow, you can get that kind of red from henna? I must give it a go, I'm using Live XXL at the moment but would love to find something kinder to my hair!

Yep and henna doesn't fade like the chemical dyes either, if you had darker or red hair to begin with you'd get an amazing tone after a few dyes with it, I'm blonde so I can't get it any darker than it is now. The colour builds up over a few months of dying I've been using it for seven years straight now! Dreading ever going blonde again.

Oooh yay! My hair is naturally a light red so hopefully it will take to it

Thanks, must check out the local health shop!

I use henna, the brand is el cahira and the shade is mahognay, you can get it from health food shops! The red one in lush is good enough but very pricey!

I used to use Lush henna, I don't like it because it has lots of extra gunk in it that takes forever to get out of your hair. I buy powder on ebay because they don't stock it in my local health food shops, but its a much cheaper alternative. I can't believe yours is henna though, what an amazing colour. I'm a dark auburn naturally so the colour is a lot less vivid on me.

That's cracked! I would like a clear poncho for festivals, not that one, especially not at that price! Yowsa..

Sapsorrow · 16-07-2010 01:12PM

Am I going a bit mad or are the two last posts I put in the what I wore today thread only showing up with one photo each in them?? They should have a few in each....

Larianne · 16-07-2010 01:15PM

Yeah, one in each post.

Ok thanks for that, crap wonder what I did wrong!

Oh my goodness! I have to do an internship in January as part of my college course, and it's proving so hard to find one! And the chances of getting paid are unfortunately low. Only two out of 50 from last years class got an actual wage. Damn the arts being underfunded.

BUT I will have to treat myself to new work clothes when it comes around

So, ya know, every cloud...

Larianne · 16-07-2010 06:31PM

What type of internship are you looking at doing?

Twee. · 16-07-2010 06:46PM

My degree is Business and Arts Management, and the area I'm most interested in is music. So the likes of artist management/promotion/booking. I'd love to get into a label or venue, management or licensing company. Spruced up my CV today, aim to get sending by Monday. Trouble is most Irish companies are VERY small, even the major international label offices are tiny. So I'm gonna look further afield!

Larianne · 18-07-2010 01:11PM

OOh very interesting! Unfortunately I don't know anyone in that line of business.

Best of luck with it.

Goaty! You're back! Any shopping

?

OldGoat · 18-07-2010 11:29PM

New Panama hat

and 3 or 4 pair of braces. Almost got a new suit but got talked out of it - probably for the best as it was very 1970's - just not my era.

The French don't seem to do vintage much. Perhaps I'll try in Paris someday but down South they looked at me like I had six heads when I asked for old clothes.

Fajitas! · 19-07-2010 09:13AM

I haven't been, but apparently, there's some good clothes markets in Paris, but you have to make your way out of the city centre to find them. If anyone is heading over and wants to try find them, I'll find out a bit more!

Fajitas! · 19-07-2010 09:19AM

In other news... M&S do tailored shirts!?!

Since when?

http://www.marksandspencer-madetomeasure.com

OldGoat · 19-07-2010 10:03AM

I'm thinking of trying a suit from their MadeToMeasure to see how it turns out.
I'd rather keep building a relationship with a single alterer as opposed to having to deal with new faces every time I want something fitted but I feel that the initive has to be supported and applauded by anyone who appricates tailored clothing as opposed to baggy sacks of off the rail clothes.

Fajitas! · 19-07-2010 10:19AM

Let me know how it goes.

I really don't *neeeeeed* another suit, but good value/quality, yeah, I'd probably splash out... As long as it wasn't S.Row prices.

Edit; Do they have any links to the madetomeasure for suits online? I can just find shirts.

OldGoat · 19-07-2010 10:45AM

Better off going for bespoke rather then made to measure if you are buying online. That way the tailor has your measuremnts and plenty of material to faff around with rather then trying to re-size already cut suit pieces to your virtual measurments.

Are you going Clubbing on Friday? I've not been out to see a show in ages and I'm in the mood to mingle. If you're going I'll chat with you then about it.

Fajitas! · 19-07-2010 10:55AM

Yeah, bespoke is the only way really, but I'd like to see what other options are out there... Tbh, I'd be better off just heading back over to London for it.

I haven't been to the Social' in AAAAAGES myself... I'm off the hooch, so I've gone rather boring... But I *do* need an excuse to show off my new trench. Hmm. Let's see what I can muster up.

Ahhh THERE you are.

Fajitas! · 19-07-2010 11:15AM

I'm blaming that photo from the last Social, it kick started Operation: Lose Belly - Parttherof means no booze

OldGoat · 19-07-2010 11:30AM

pffft, Sugar is 100% fat free. Rum is made from sugar. Therefore rum is a diet aid.
QED.

Fajitas! · 19-07-2010 11:33AM

Drink, sir, is a great provoker of three things . . .

And kebab is one of them.

:pac:

OldGoat · 19-07-2010 12:04PM

Crispy pork belly at Charlies is another...I'm starting to see the flaw in my Rum=Good theory.

Fajitas! · 19-07-2010 12:25PM

Apparently tequila is the best booze for dieting. I think I'd have to agree, I can't hold a thing down after a night on it.
