I only wear it when I'm going to a party or wedding. People always think I've made an effort then. Normally, if I wear it, I keep it natural, just a little eyeshadow and a touch of mascara. I don't wear foundation as nothing can cover my blushes. I'll use a touch of tinted lipgloss too. If I'm going to a party, I'll use a glitter eyeliner, just because I like it.

When I wear it, people tell me I look nice. They know I made the time to make the effort. If I wore make-up all the time, it would lessen the impact for the few times I do wear it. I like it to look natural, and it never ceases to make me laugh when I see lasses who trowel it on. If you can see a visible layer of solid cover over the skin, eyelashes clumped together, and thick coatings of liner, something isn't working. Dreadful!

However, I love dramatic colours around the eyes, and false lashes look stunning. It just has to be done correctly, blended well, on a natural, even base. If it wouldn't make me look like an idiot, I'd do that sometimes for parties.

As it is, natural shades suit me better, and just enhance my features (I'd rather hide, in all honesty). When I wear make-up, I use the colour and shade to make my eyes less googly, and bring their colour out (that changes depending on the colour of eyeshadow). My face is so round and fat that bringing out the shape of my eyes, and making them look less round, slims my face down a little.

So, I wear make-up to show I bothered, and to try to gently re-shape what Mother Nature was a bitch enough to give me.

I love how seven people have voted, and nobody has dared to say anything.

Well, I voted, and I'm not scared to say anything. "Anything!"

Agreed, the basics i posted would be lovely, your suggestions, are above and beyond, well done.


Do you know what I reckon is really proper sexy romantic? If a lad said, "Let's go for a walk on the beach and get some chips", and then we do (a bag each, none of that sharing bollocks), and have a fight over who pays for them (I win and I agree to let him buy them next time), and then after we've nommed the chips, we totally spend ages snogging.

I might add some sex into that and post it in Love Stories...

Ladies, I'm looking for small romantic gestures I can use to make a girl feel good any time I can. Which would you prefer, and why? I'm open to suggestions. Thanks.


Normally, I would choose "a plate of my favourite cookies and a cuddle just because", but a love note is something I always dreamed of, so I would choose that.

However, the fact that a lad would take the time to think of how to please me would be the greatest romantic gesture of all, in my opinion.

I was going to ask him, what about the mucky lads who don't wipe at all, but just turn their pants inside out the next day?

I think you'll also need 20+ posts for it to appear.


Thanks for that, Nicola. I can't believe I kissed* that.

Crazy has made him a great banner, so hopefully we'll see it very soon!

that's not what Nicola told me when she was lecturing me about Lizzy's dog eating her socks!


More blame = more spankings. Isn't that a good thing for you?

I'd wear really long shirts.
Ah, I cleared my cache, and that seems to have worked. I'm still suspicious, though...
Why is it that the only avatar I can see belongs to Sprite? Is this a ploy to win the Attention Whore comp? A punishment to weasel out who's been stealing her cookies? A way of getting more spankings? Is she cleaning them for everybody? Hide and seek? Or...?

This is a list of questions on what girls like. These seem odd but some may like them all some might not like any its ok. Its not the typical what type of guy though.

1. Would you like your man to wear panties or thongs? If yes, Should they be yours or get him some? Also Daily or every now and then?
2. Would you like your man to be shaven? if yes where? All over, Legs ect?
3. Would it be a turn on if your man was bi?
4. What would you do if you caught your man on gay or trans porn?
5. Would you want to have anal sex with your man? You or him?
6. What do girls think of butt plugs and chasity on their man?

I know some are odd. But curiosity has led me to ask a few strange questions.


1. I think I'd be weirded out. If he just liked the shape and look, that's okay. If he wanted to wear mine, that's weird. It would depend why he wanted to wear them.

2. I don't have a preference so far, but I've only been very intimate with a a lad who shaved his pubes. I think I would be happy with what they were most comfortable with. I like to think so, anyway. I have found a bit of long stubble beard gave me a rash on my face though.

3. No. I think I would find that difficult, as I don't have a willy. I wouldn't be able to satisfy that part of his sexual needs.

4. I would ask him what turned him on about it, and why he hadn't shared the fact he likes to look at it and why.

5. I would use my fingers in him (wearing gloves) if he really wanted it, but I wouldn't want to receive at all!

6. I think butt plugs are a bit odd, but I think I'd be alright with it if he wanted to use one himself. If it meant agreed short-term chastity with fun at the end of it, it could be possible.
The only willy I ever sucked had a foreskin, and it was lovely and clean, just like the rest of the owner. I'd do it again if he wanted me.
BUGGERY BOLLOCKS!

Quote me in my first post. Copy the coding. Paste in your signature field. Try that?
Quote by crazydiamond


YES!!

Firstly- easy on the decorative typefaces they are tacky and unreadable. Silly script, mixed with comic sans and countless others are an assault.

"KISS- keep it simple stupid" dont use any more then 2 typefaces, if you need to.

Secondly- colour of type, very important some also are unreadable.
Thirdly- DON't STRETCH IMAGES BADLY it looks terrible.

I could go on about alignment and shit , but I know it's me being picky, and not everyone gets poked in the eye by these things like I do.

There are sites to make banners, some good, some, not so much. Photoshop is ideal as you have full control.

Pm me, I can help you, if you like.

Also this maybe belongs in another thread, not the chat thread really. It's more about stories help/author's help rather than the chat forum.


I'm trying to do it on my Shiny for him. This is a test:

EDIT: Bannerfans thing replaced by a CrazyD spectacular!

If it doesnt work, I'll cry.

Quote by trinket



A girl after my own heart It's not necessarily true that scrunchers use more paper than folders. Fluffing it out like a paper rose increases the surface area by roughly 60%. Scrunchers also win out in the thickness arena as well. The concertina effect of the scrunched paper gives more 'volume' to the paper rose. With roughly 60% more surface area and approx 60% more thickness/volume, a scrunch is usually enough to finish the job. However, if you fold, you may have to repeat the exercise.

So, you see folders are not smarter than scrunchers, and Daisy, I think you're full of shit! Oh and how many layers is enough layers hmmmm? Does anybody really know the answer? I would imagine there are a gazillion variables to be thrown into solving that mystery.... perhaps we need some help with this.





Full of shit? I'm fucking not at the moment. Come over here and share my norovirus with me. Then see how fast the shit will drain out of you. Very soon, it's just water scouring your insides. Try it and see for yourself. You can test how many sheet layers you need, depending on how much fluid you were able to drink earlier.

Full of shit, my ass. Or not, as the case is now...

Ok so this has probably been discussed before a million times, but on my forum search it comes up zero?! WHY are there so many fakes on here and is anything done to moderate them?

Im not talking about the generic red male/female icons, i mean people trying to pass themselves off as something/someone they are not. The other day i got a friend request from someone and on my iphone they looked HOT! When i looked at their pics on my laptop EVERY single on of them had the face superimposed on to a womans body (I would assume another womans body!) , annoying but actually quite comical it was done so badly!

I have also seen LOADS of profiles where the pics are clearly either professional pics, or they are of noticably different women and the upload comments are "me doing this" or "me doing that", trying to pass them off as their own body.

I'm pretty sure when i joined it said you couldn't do this?! I would imagine there are lots of fake males as well as females?

I just don't get the point, personally i think there should be a "name and shame" thread for fakes!



There are quite a few threads on this. Generally, those who don't mind say that Lush is somewhere they can be anybody they want, so the only person they are truly fooling is themselves. Also, they say that people using Lush should respect that right to the fantasy, and some need the privacy of not having their own image up. That does not negate the problem of posing as somebody else, but I presume you get that.

Others against it say they should be exposed. But naming and shaming people is not welcome, since it targets and causes problems for individuals, which is not acceptable.

In my opinion, you should never trust anybody on the internet. Hell, I don't even trust most of my real life Facebook friends! Never assume everybody else is as honest as you might be. As I found out,you will be sadly disappointed. But likewise, it's not just the people that appear hot who are hot. You might be surprised if you chat to some of the people here who may not appear to be sizzling. Lush has a lot of surprising people. Go and find them, but always keep a guard up.

Photos that you do not hold the rights to should not be posted, but it is up to the poster to moderate themselves, since when you join up, you agree to that. It is not up to Admin to regulate it unless an official complaint is lodged by the owner of the images.

Would you consider this as a compliment or an insult if you were this man's better half.



Personally, I'm on the fence.


Depending on his history with the ex, I'd say it was a compliment. If he re-married the ex, she'd get stuck with the funeral bills, and he'd have set me free to do what I wanted.

I've wanked one guy who was circumcised, and wanked and sucked one who wasn't. Perhaps it's my lack of experience, but I thoroughly enjoyed both, and I don't care whether a lad has a small flap of skin on the end of his willy or not. If he Likes me and is kind to me, and clean, I would be more than happy to play with it if he let me. If I Like him too, obviously.

We can't help what nature gives us, nor what our parents chose for us. And if we chose to have an op for whatever reason, it cannot usually be changed just because somebody else does or does not like the outcome. I would be happy to enjoy trying to make a special lad feel good, whatever the amount of skin he does/doesn't have.

Quote by DikDango
This question should be mandatory for all job interviews.

If you are looking for someone who is neat and meticulous, is process driven and always on time you need a FOLDER.

If you want someone who is creative, can multi task, can handle interruptions, is outgoing and a people person you need a SCRUNCHER.


That's a pile of crap. I'm a folder, but I'm creative, disorganised, untidy, always running late, and I used to be able to multitask. It's true I don't like people, though, and I'm not outgoing. However, if you saw me doing my job, you would think I was.

So if you read that woman's blog where I saw her say exactly the same thing, I just blew her theory right out of the toilet water.

The current questionnaire results show that Lush responders are mostly anal, and only two are free and easy. Perhaps most of the scrunchers are too busy elsewhere to fit this into their multi-tasking schedule?

That theory is poo. What does she base it on, other than wannabe psychology?

Quote by trinket
I think this is quite interesting.... there hasn't been a lot of research into the subject. I wonder what influences someone to be a folder rather than a scruncher and vice versa?


With scrunching, there is no guarantee that the paper is totally covering your fingers, or won't move just that bit too much. Or so I imagine. Yuck!

As a folder, I am aware that one must have enough layers (or finely tuned technique) to ensure that the produce of one's lower regions does not soak through the tissue before dropping it. Having a rather vicious tummy bug in the house right now, this is a tissue issue that is more important than ever.

I wonder what psychologists say about it.

EDIT: OMG. I just did a search on "toilet tissue psychology fold or scrunch". If you thought I was graphic...

Turnip? wasn't he the manager of the English football team? and i don't recall he was that humble.





Quote by DirtyMartini


Are you suggesting that people on Lush should masturbate with a carrot? Or simply in front of the carrot? I'm not really clear on this whole carrot thing...


I'm suggesting nothing. What people choose to do in the privacy of their own vegetable drawers is up to them.
Quote by sprite


fyi - it's been changed to the above. ok, i am outta here.


Thank you, that's much better.
Quote by trinket



DAMN! Here I was hoping for the Royal Turnip Award...... ok Turnip is OUT!

What about the humble SWEDE. Do we have any Swede's here? I know we have a crappy old Norwegian around here somewhere, but that won't do.

How about a Swede instead?



Let's just be clear about the difference between "swede" and "turnip".

A turnip is slightly different to a swede. But a swede was originally called a "swedish turnip", hence Saga being called a turnip.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnip

Trinket, you're missing a few tricks. Why not suggest a carrot, since with all the masturbation going on around Lush, people could probably use a vegetable to stop them going blind (pun intended)? Just a thought.




Quote by naughtynurse
(notes to self all those who are rather vocal about not liking new award. If I am going to recommend something, I'd like it to go to someone who is proud of it, and one who will be as excited to receive it as I am to give it.)


Sadly, I thought that would be the case, and I will not leave that unanswered.

I have been vocal in both my dislike of a picture and my extreme happiness in my work even being thought it was worth it. I don't doubt that there is venting being done by folks about "jokingly" wanting to remove said awards. That's fine., do as you please.

But as I have said before, and I will say again, this is NOT personal, and it is NOT people saying the award is crap. People moan about the statues and trophy designs for big award events the world over. Why should Lush be any less important?! They can be grateful and pleased with the recognition, and still not like the marker for it.

Please, moderators, please try to see this from the angles in which this thread was made. It was not started on a mission to diss the moderator team/members, nor was it to belittle what we feel is a huge recognition. It was about something that aesthetically was not pleasing to some eyes.

If the Recommended Read award is given at the whim of whether somebody finds an author's forum posts regarding a colour/form/size of something ungracious or not, or removed because of it, then where does that leave us?

This is not personal or ungracious towards the award or the givers of it. I fully expect the symbol to remain in its design. I would expect nothing less. But it doesn't stop me having my opinion on it. Again, I am extremely grateful and still a bit unsure as to how I was so recognised. But because I gave a negative opinion on something I don't like the look of, should I now stop striving to better my writing?

Should I see the mods as people who give and judge by a person's posts and opinions, rather than their writing? Just as you judge us by our posts regarding a small blue badge, so authors judge mods by their posts regarding how awards are made. I am sad that the moderators feel under personal attack. That is NOT what this is.

I will get used to the blue tick, just as I knew I would have to. I had a vent. It's a blue tick; I didn't like the way it looked; I'll get over it.

But I will not get used to people thinking they are personally under attack and striking out because of it, when they are not. I will not get used to the fact I stated it was an honour to have the award. It isn't about the award. It's about a white tick on a blue box that nobody will think looks odd when it's been there a while.

You react as you wish, and I will sadly draw my own conclusions. This was NOT an "us and them" situation (at least for me). But it feels like it now. And it's a very sad day. I have known both sides of the fence, and this is horrible, because it was never about awards and how they are given (or not, as you have clearly implied). It's about a white tick on a blue box.

Quote by one_winged_angel


The check mark is not as unpopular as this thread makes it look, there are many people who are quite happy with it.

I'm sure the people in charge are quite happy to listen to suggestions, but I'm sure there's a better way to do it than by people stating that they "hate" what's been put up, that's not supporting the site, that's unnecessarily harsh.

As Sprite said before, nothing's set in stone, so people are free to offer suggestions, but there's no need to pick the current symbol apart.

People are aware that this is a public forum, that doesn't mean a little consideration isn't necessary when others have put in their time and effort to promote our authors. Just how I see it


Alright, I'm wading back in for a moment to clarify. Sorry for expressing how I felt about the new emblem. I did state how proud I was for the honour. They are two very separate issues.

I spent quite a bit of time myself trying out a few graphics for this when I was a mod, as you know, and as I recall, not everybody liked them. They weren't used. Whatever, they didn't like them. Passionate words are used a lot on Lush. It doesn't always mean it's personally an insult.

I know well what work goes on behind the scenes. I was one of the first to get a mod's back under personal attack. In expressing views about the way a symbol looked, I did not mean it as personal. If I was going to be personal about some issue, trust me, it would be clear. As far as I am aware, this is not about people. It's about a thing that repesents part of the site and its authors.

Mazza made some very good points in her last post. I refer you back there.

I think the two awards should complement each other


Quote by crazydiamond
find out what people would like to see as an icon, I'm sure there is a diamond on hand to create a graphic icon that pleases all and is more within the Lush style of branding.

an idea that pops to mind is the little red book app icon i made but it could say " READ THIS!" ot "Read Me"
here is what it looks like



but it could have



Or even the check mark on the book cover? Just brainstorming here.


These are great! The blue needs to be softer and/or the box smaller if it stays that colour. As it is, it totally overpowers the EP emblem, which is not the point at all. I took a screen shot when the Rs first came out (I am that sad, I was very excited). It looked great because it was understated and not a solid block of strong colour.

I hate that tick. It just says "Blah, it'll do". I love the idea of something designed to compliment/contrast with the EP sign, like the R. It's simple and in keeping with the current rosette. The button size currently used is just too big to let the EP sign stand out. Maybe something like Crazy's idea, if people want something bold, but with Stephanie's colours?

As proud as I am of the award, it makes me want to hide it, like Kiki suggested. Sorry, that's how I feel, whether you're bovverred or not. I can't believe I felt so strongly about it! That's me done.

AAAAAAAAARGH BOLLOCKS AND CHEESY KNACKERS. YOU CAN JUST FUCK OFF. I AM FUCKING DONE, SO PISS OFF, YOU CUNT. AND I FUCKING HATE THE C-WORD.
