Makeup!

You might think the makeup community and the nail community are the same, but they really aren't. Sure, there's some cross-over, but, in general, if you visit the makeup message board on Makeup Alley and then pop over to the nail board, it's a completely different group of people. I'm definitely more of a makeup girl, but I have great affection for the nail community - in large part because it's a great example of makeup and girliness for its own sake.

And what I love about nail fora is: 1) there are lots of pictures (people post pictures of their nails daily); and 2) there are endless discussions about the greatest polishes of all time (which will quickly move to separations of glitter from holographic from cream, etc.). It's exactly like the greatest-comic book-villain discussions that comic geeks love. With polishes, as with comic villains, there are some classic polishes that consistently make the all-time best lists. I'm wearing one of those today - China Glaze Ruby Pumps:


This would be like the Magneto of the nail polish world.

Also - since we're talking makeup - here's Sam Chapman of Pixiwoo (doing something much more wearable than my last makeup post):

  1. Um, I'm not even sure what to do with this one.

    JD

  2. Hey now...be careful. ;)

  3. I'm trying. I'll have to formally introduce myself at some point, but right now I'm just enjoying the bounding leaps of your very interesting mind.

  4. Haha - you're going to want your seat back and tray table in its upright and locked position.

  5. Exactly. Turbulence ahead, and I will put on my oxygen mask first, then ready my seat cushion for flotation.

    And nice HPV rant, especially the notion that Bachman just created the woman with the "retarded" daughter.

    And when I googled Taryn Hart--it turns out you're a cosmetologist, not just a blogging economist.

  6. No - different Taryn Hart - I'm a lawyer.

  7. Somehow I didn't think you were a cosmetologist.....

  8. Montana Taryn Hart? I re-googled.

  9. I"m sort of a Whitefish guy...

  10. Yep - Missoula, Montana (but I spent all of my summers during college in the Whitefish/Glacier Park region). I also spent a Winter skiing at Big Mountain.

  11. I actually own a church there....sort of a long story. I love Whitefish, but can't seem to find the time to get there.

    I forgot which column we were writing in, so had to go through about 5 other threads. I really like your writing.

  12. Thanks. How did you find me, by the way? Kos?

  13. I need to write something longer - I just haven't decided on a topic. I was thinking about taking a crack at figuring out what the WH has been thinking about the economy (the debt obsession, etc.), but now that the Suskind book is out, I really should read that before I write about those issues. So, I'm not sure - something will strike me, I'm sure.

  14. Exactly. When I read something smart, I tend to look at the profile, and, in your case, when I looked at the profile i say....you. From there it was a short leap to your blog. I'm joesig there, by the way. No picture.

  15. Um, make that "I saw....you." Although "i say.....you" has a certain ring to it.

  16. Good luck on figuring out WH economic thinking. I think the analysis that he's overly impressed by the best resume in the room is probably the correct one. After the first time I worked with a certain federal agency, I started using the term "GGR"--Guys with Good Resumes. Really smart, really nice, great families and academic records....just incapable of actually getting anything done. Nothing is more dangerous than letting the GGR set policy, and Obama thought the Harvard president, by definition, could do no wrong.

  17. Yes - I'm not sure I CAN figure it out, but I would like to go back and look closely at what Obama was publicly saying because, as Mike Konczal has noted, you can usually tie that stuff to various position papers, etc.

  18. There's a certain masochistic side to you. Good luck. And why are you still up?

  19. Well, we'll see - I haven't committed. (And I agree, it's masochistic). Right now I'm reading Graeber's book on debt (which is fascinating). By the way - Krugman's column is out:

    http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/23/opinion/krugman-the-social-contract.html?_r=1&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss

    And I'm a night person.

  20. Ok, gonna go read the Krug column to see who won the PF sweepstakes. Me too, on the night person thing, plus I'm on a working vacation in a slightly different time zone, so don't feel like sleeping.

  21. Income disparity, without even a hint of QE! I'm devastated.

  22. I thought there was maybe a chance that Fed policy would be in Monday's column, but I'm not sure yet.
