for the foxtrot, there is a video clip, and for the argentine tango, mostly passable but slightly blurred clips (the camera we were using wasn’t the best… but oh well, i can wait for the photo album and the official dvd to come out).

Hi Cloudburst,
I still haven’t had the chance to check out the new Metal X shadows. Which shades did you get?
Hi Laura B,
When it comes to switching up the wardrobe you can never go wrong with new shoes and accessories! Your shoes sound really cute. Platforms are so comfy!
Hi Maria,
Hawaiian fried rice… YUM! I think you should get a plate and eat enough for the both of us.:)
Hi Violet,
Aren’t holidays that revolve around food the best? I love dessert, so I’d be all over those pies in a hot second. 🙂
Hi Jennifer, I’ve been eyeing the Hello Kitty collection for a few months. I can’t wait till it comes out! Do you think you’ll pick anything up?
Hi Tatiana, I love the Shu curler, too. It has perfect tension and it never pinches. That’s too bad it doesn’t hold the curl for you. What technique are you using?
Hi StargirlHeuser,
Yay! What do you think of Shadow Insurance?
Hi Meimei,
Funny you should mention Flo-Rida. The DJ played Get Low and every one in the room went nuts. Must be the Florida connection.
Hi VampyVarnish,
Ahh, Moth Brown. Every time I think of the MAC Barbie release it brings a tear to my eye. 🙂
Hi Karen4,
How fun! I created a personal scent a Aveda a few years ago and it smelled like lavender. What does your scent smell like?
Hi Tiera,
Gotta love how slippers are a wardrobe necessity in Hawaii1!
Hi Elle,
Pigments are so fab. They go on with so much color intensity and last all day. What brushes are you using to apply them?
Hi Angel,
LOL, yeah, I did. Their paws were wide like ping pong paddles. Most of the kitties were really sweet.
Hi Lydia,
Isn’t that lotion the best? I love how it isn’t too sugary sweet.
Hi Aqilla,
I am so jealous of your new Bissell!
Also, I love that quote. It’s going into my quote journal!
Hi Christine,
Today is my last full day here in Key West. Got any restaurant recommendations for me?
Hi Ellery,
LOVE that quote from Dita. She’s one of my favorite celebs.
I hope you can get your Monday vibe back soon! You’re supposed to be the happiest person I know on Mondays!
Hi Holly,
Oh no… I hope you are feeling better today. Here’s a smile for you. 🙂
That soap sounds lovely, BTW. Have you tried the body wash?
Hi Jen,
That is a great quote. Thanks for sharing it!
Hi ShopGal,
Thanks! It’s nice to meet you. I’ve never been to Okinawa before. How do you like it there?
Hi Megan,
Glad to hear the audit went well. Did you end up picking up anything at Ulta?
Hi Brittany,
Congrats on turning in your thesis! How does it feel?
Hi Daya,
It must be fun to have your whole family at home! Will you guys be taking any day trips, or will ya just chill at home?
Hi Louise Gray,
I have Iridescent Leather. What do you like to pair it with?
Hi Erica,
Get better soon, girlie!
Hi Ines,
I’m so glad your performance went well. I’d love to see the video — please send it along!
Good luck on your finals!
Hi DivaStyle,
Sorry to hear about your co-workers. I hope your job situation is okay…
Hi Shiny,
Thanks! I’ll have to look for that color at Longs when I get back home!
Hi Brenda,
I hope you’re feeling better today. Keep your chin up!
Hi Christina,
I like Benefit products, too. Which ones are your faves?
Hi Roxy,
I just picked up that concealer, too. What shade did you get?
Hi Marisol,
How exciting! I hope the moving goes smoothly. I’m sure your last few days at your job will fly by. Congrats again!
Hi Ditte,
Woo hoo! Two suitors! I vote for picking the one that makes you laugh more. 🙂
Hi KarenB,
Yeah! You know I love Fluidline. What shade will you pick up next?
Hi Miss QQ,
Ooh, what looks have you done with Tempting?
I hope you feel better soon. 🙂
Hi Karen,
I have tried the bath gel yes and I really loved it but honestly since I got the soap I have barely touched my bath gel mainly because I find that I get a better scent from the soap and also I kinda dont worry about the soap running out as it feel like it will take a year haha but the bath gel goes so quickly!!
No, we’re chilling at home. Our families are hours away in different directions 🙂
We liked Crabby Dick’s and there is a great sushi place my husband and I ran across that was wonderful – but of course I can’t remember the name! Hope you liked your trip. We have a great picture of my daughter sitting on one of the steps at the Hemingway house with one of the cats sitting right next to her – so maybe some of those good writing vibes will rub off on her…
Karen:
The food here is un-freakin-believable!!! Okinawan noodles are like little slivers of heaven swimming in a savory milky broth!! Weather is nice most of the year (except durint typhoon season) and life here is technologically advanced without the hustle and bustle of big cities like Tokyo. The rain can be oppressive though…and some days leaves a lot of extra time for reading beauty blogs. You should visit in early summer…that’s when the weather’s nicest. But the fab sushi and noodles are always in season!
I got NC45 it covers my blemishes PERFECTLY! it covers my dark circles but sometimes i wonder if i get the lighter shade [NC42] for dark circles will it go better? what do u think?
