Girl Talk
 

I thought I'd start a thread so we can talk about girly stuff like self esteem, sushi, pedicures, sex after 50, etc, and the guys can't hear us. And we can go off topic as often as we want. :clap2:

Guys, don't read this, it is for girls only. Handie, this includes you!!

BBB, Nonie and Donna: I just know you've got some stuff to say!!

Re: Girl Talk
 

BAD, Barefoot, BAD, BAD, BAD...

I will try to resist this thread.

But you know that - like my screen name says - I will, in fact, be back.

OK. I must confess. One of my biggest fears about living in TV for long periods of time is that I will have to leave my hairdresser. She is one heck of a chemist. She is so good that people are surprised that it is a dye job. The problem is that parts of my hair are snow white (prematurely, of course) and she can make all that go away. But she has to use Wella, in addition to another step or two in the process. Nobody in TV uses Wella. At least, I could not find a place when I was there.

Well, that didn't take long did it?

Re: Girl Talk
 

BBB, you're looking at this all wrong. Once you get here, you can still use BBB but in reverse. You can visit "home" just for your hairdresser. Who knows, maybe you can convince her to take vacations here. Do your hair for a day or two of R&R.

Re: Girl Talk
 

BBB - I do not know where your white streak is, but when I see women with a natural white streak - I have always thought how striking. Must admit, I have never seen any woman with a white streak that did not look attractive.

I do not think I will be able to resist this thread either.

As for schedules and TOTV, like Mark Twain said about giving up cigarettes, he gave up cigarettes after everyone he had. So, following in Mark Twain's foot steps, I will give up on TOTV until I pick up next time - probably in five minutes or less.

BF - Great topic. I liked what you wrote on RW's thread. Glad you did not mention Kathie, you know how shy and retiring she is.

So BF :agree: :bigthumbsup: and will :beer3: :beer2: to this idea and I am :hot: :2excited: :hot: :2excited: about this thread. 040 040 040

BBB, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist this thread!! ;) Streaks of snow white sound sexy and sophisticated to me!! Further to your Wella problem, my husband (Mr. Wallethead) has been suggesting I stop colouring my hair. :yikes: In one way, it is appealing. I am tired of the aggravation and really don't like dyes going into my brain. On the other hand, I don't want to look in the mirror and see my grandmother! :dontknow:

Colour or not? What do you do?

Re: Girl Talk
 

Red, since BBB's hair dresser is so good, maybe we can create a schedule and have her do all of our hair.

Red the picture of you and Jess is one of my favorites on TOTV - sorry JohnnyM

Re: Girl Talk
 

RW,

We have actually laughed about doing just that. My hairdresser is close to my age and neither of us is planning to go gently.

The other part of the problem is that my hair grows really fast. The snow white part is right on top. When it comes in, if I don't get it done right away, from a distance, I begin to look like Friar Tuck.

Wella is made in Germany I think. But P&G now owns it. When I met my hairdresser, I was desperate. My former hairdresser had turned my roots a festive shade of pink, trying to cover all the white with a product that just could not do it anymore. Wella is higher in pigment I think than some of the others. I pay through the nose at this salon, but it is a luxury I can't give up.

"Vanity, thy name is woman."

Re: Girl Talk
 

BF my hubby says the same thing. But when I see those roots out comes the bottle. I have my own professional hair colorist - my hubby. He prefers Loreal's products and says the one that has color's gray does a better job.

HB

Re: Girl Talk
 

I don't think I like you guys. I was gonna wait another week to do the roots but now I feel like I have to go out and buy the bottles and do my stuff. UGH

IT. IS. ALL. YOUR. FAULT!!!!!

Re: Girl Talk
 

Red, just checked with Hubby - he says if you byob - he will do it for you this time.

He has over a decade of experience.

HB

Re: Girl Talk
 

Tell him he's on! What time would he like me there? hehehehehehehe

(I'm hoping byob is bring your own brand! And I like L'Oreal, too.)

Re: Girl Talk
 

OK.

Now I am really jealous.

I cannot BYOB because nothing OTC will cover my big white spot that is right on top. If it were only a streak, I would let it go.

I can't score Wella on the street. Salon only.

When my hairdresser had to bring me back from the festive shade of pink where I had been left by my former hairdresser, I was in the chair for hours. She took all the color out. Tried one brand to put it back. Did not get it. Then hit it with Wella. That is the only thing that works. She also finishes the process by adding something called "clear" which closes the cuticle that is roughed up with dye. That brings back the shine. (At least I think that's how it works. - anyway, it works.)

As far as letting it go - How in the world do you do the transition? - not that I am even considering it. I do think that is easier for those with dark hair because they just do the sophisticated salt and pepper thing for awhile.

(OK girls, now we have bored the men to the point of stupefaction so we can talk about other stuff. They will never look back.)

Re: Girl Talk
 

So far, no-one planning to go grey??? If anyone has gone "natural", how do you make the transition from now to then? Guess I could go try on a grey wig. Ulp. Just the thought of it makes me cringe.

(Red, good luck with Hyacinth's husband, he is obviously a man of many talents.)

Re: Girl Talk
 

BBB, that was the point of the hair discussion. To bore the men silly. Alhough your story of pink was fascinating. ;D ;D Now, they're gone and we can talk about face creams that work, sex, lip plumpers, good places to shop for clothes in TV, etc.

For instance Spanx .... (if you haven't tried it, you're missing out).

Re: Girl Talk
 

Oh, my tip of the day! Safety pin your socks together before doing your laundry. (2 at a time, silly.) It makes sorting laundry easier and your dryer will never eat another sock.

Re: Girl Talk
 

I will go grey when I'm all white. I haven't seen my "natural" color since I was 16 (and when it was growing back from chemo but that doesn't count). As to transitioning, I'll just let it grow for about two to three months (thank goodness I love baseball caps) and then get it all cut off but the natural stuff.

Re: Girl Talk
 

Spanx rule!

And why doesn't TV have a Coldwater Creek?

Re: Girl Talk
 

Oh Red, I can't see you cutting your hair short. Also.....would we call you graywitch then???? No way. Stay Red and vibrant!!!!!

Re: Girl Talk
 

Boomer,

http://www.millan.net/minimations/sm...nouncement.gifI own a hair salon, I can get any color you need...

We use Wella at my shop..Wella Kolstan... :bigthumbsup:

I can get it and ship it for ya, or I can buy it in TV from a beauty supply, since I have the license...

Re: Girl Talk
 

o wOW o WOW!!! Great thread Barefoot!

Well now, for that itsy bitsy, teeny weeny , bit of gray comming thru I have recentely found JUST FOR MEN!

Because it is meant for mens sideburns and beards which is very course and resistant gray, it covers wonderfully and LASTS!!!! I have never used a color that lasted thru a few shampoos but this seems to be holding on really tight. ;D

Re: Girl Talk
 

Donna!

My new best friend!

Thank you.

Re: Girl Talk
 

Nonie,

Someone recently told me that product works great on eyebrows that are starting to go gray.

Now, I have to step away from this computer. I am going to go ask Mr. BB to disable it for me. That is my only hope.

Re: Girl Talk
 

Oh I love this thread, thanks Barefoot.

Going grey has always made me cringe. I opted for highlighting and mixing the grey with the blond. If your hair is dark and greying go for reverse highlighting. Ladies there is always a way.

Donna: when can you be here full time so we can have a TOTV salon, for members only. 040 040

Let's flood Cold Water Creek with e-mail requests for a store in TV

Re: Girl Talk
 

Beady,

I am serious..I can help with any salon related thing you need...Ya think I can open a small business, just for TOTV peeps????

Re: Girl Talk
 

:clap2: :clap2:
I'll be your first customer.

Re: Girl Talk
 

OK, since no one wants to touch sex over fifty, I guess I will. The question is "how much do I want that new landscaping?" hmmmmmm :dontknow:

And I'll leave you with just one word . . . Astroglide!

This is just one cat's opinion! ;)

Re: Girl Talk

They just can't stand to be left out!!!!

Re: Girl Talk
 

Men...So egotistical...http://www.millan.net/minimations/sm...ffeescreen.gif

Re: Girl Talk
 

1.) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and
you need to be quiet.

2.) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3.) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with Nothing usually end in Fine.

4.) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

5.) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about Nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of Nothing.)

6.) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's Okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7.) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome.

8.) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying SCREW YOU!

9.) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to #3.

Send this to the men you know, to warn them about arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology.

Send this to all the women you know to give them a good laugh, cause they know it's true.

Re: Girl Talk
 

Well, I'm joining the guy talk. I understand it better .. roflao Cars, sports I understand. Makeup, hair I get kinda lost.

Sam, I'm notorious from going from very long (last time was almost to the waist) to very short. This is a grow out from last year -- was a little above the chin. Idiot stylist wouldn't cut it as short as I wanted.

As to sex over 50, I'm working on proving something I read once wrong. It said that the hymen grows back after 7 years of no use. Well, I'm working on it. Will find someone to take my virginity (again) next year. How's that for a way to keep young. ;)

Scientists have discovered a food that diminishes a woman's sex drive by 90%.
It's called a Wedding Cake. 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl

Re: Girl Talk
 

Red, hubby says he hopes you can wait until after the 17th of Feb.

Long hair - I am letting mine grow long and then will have it all cut off and donate it to Locks of Love. Have you thought of doing that RW?

Re: Girl Talk
 

Hi,

I thought you were joking about the "boys site." I can not believe at their age they are still copying us.

HB

Re: Girl Talk
 

RW I just went in to peek at there site and I think you have more post on that site than any of the men.

HB

Re: Girl Talk
 

HB -- Don't think I can wait til the 17th. Guess I'm stuck doing it myself (again). sigh

Well, one post on the boys' site is to answer Bernie's question. But I always was one of the guys (just cuter!).

Re: Girl Talk
 

RW yes much cuter and you still are. And you also have more hair than most of them. :)
