Dark Lipstick

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 27 Aug 11

I was looking through a fashion magazine and I see that there are a lot of really dark lipsticks on the models at the moment. I'm quite taken with this because I've always liked the sultry screen siren look done with darker...

I'm so angry!

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 16 Apr 11

My sister is engaged to a wonderful guy who is currently serving in Afghanistan. He is brave, kind and good at his job and we are all praying for his save return. This week he lost two guys. God only knows how hard that must be...

The Godfather for Girls!

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 30 Mar 11

I've heard again, as I have many times, that "The Godfather" is an ultimate guy's film. It obviously deserves its legend status, but as for being just for boys, I totally disagree! I'm female and I adore the films (well the...

I'm hungry aren't I?!

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 1 Feb 11

Does anyone else ever get hungry, but just really not want to eat? I do suffer from chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia and I'm supposed to be eating as well as I can, but I go through the day and even when my...

Cleansing

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 11 Jan 11

I often use facial wipes to remove my make-up at night when I'm tired, but someone told me recently that they're not really good for your skin. Does anyone else know anything about this? They're really handy, but I'm wondering now...

Phone Etiquette

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 31 Oct 10

Is there anyone out there that still thinks it's OK to call someone up after midnight after they've been drinking?! Apparently so as one of my partner's friends called the landline at 12:45am to ramble on at me...

Lyrica Update

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 30 Oct 10

I recently was asking people about their experiences with Lyrica/Pregablin to treat fibromyalgia and related conditions. After a bit of a battle with the NHS (I was told that Lyrica hasn't been proven enough, even though it...

Dead Set

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 24 Oct 10

Are there any other horror fans that have seen British made, "Dead Set"? It's a five part series about a zombie apocalypse and the effects on the Big Brother house! It's great zombie horror, with a lot of satire and...

Reviews and Reviewing

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 14 Oct 10

When shopping online for books or films, how much do you take into account the critical review and the customer reviews? I think the official reviews are a good guideline a lot of the time, but not necessarily with movies. I...

Have you ever put together a Halloween costume that others just didn't "get"?

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 13 Oct 10

One year I was invited to a party at short notice, so I got a pair of rabbit ears on and splattered my face with fake blood and carried around a cooking pot. I was going as the bunny from "Fatal Attraction". No one got it...

It's the Time of the Season!

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 30 Sep 10

Possibly for loving, but also for the great household switch-around! We've bitten the bullet and had the central heating on so it's time to finally give in and box away the pretty summer dresses (mine, not my Mr.'s that I know...

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 27 Sep 10

I like to fantasise about being an ancient warrior queen or a courtly lady in beautiful dress, but in reality, the persecution and oppression at every level and in every stage of history would have been appalling to me with my...

"Joe is the kind of person who would do crossword puzzles in ink."

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 27 Sep 10

This is an ambiguous quote from the legendary Bette Davis. I've just started a book about her and she said this of one of her directors and I'm not sure what to make of it or how to read it. Perhaps it means that someone does...

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 25 Sep 10

A specialist has recommended a medication called, "Pregablin" to help treat my painful fibromyalgia and ideally give me some quality of life. I've been taking Gabapentin for some time now, with not much positive effect. Does...

Bad Movies

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 16 Sep 10

When you're a little ways into a movie and you think you may get an explosive migraine from just how stupid it is, do you keep watching anyway? I can't help myself! I think I'm a glutton for punishment. I'll be sat, watching...

I Have the Most Cowardly Cats!

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 13 Sep 10

Our next door neighbours just got a seven week old kitten, so essentially he's just an incredibly cute ball of fluff with a round little tummy and a pitiful squeak. My cats are more than four years old now and I tried...

Healthy Eating and Organising Your Meals

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 6 Sep 10

It’s difficult to keep healthy meals going when your partner works hard and you happen to be physically disabled. I need to get good nutritious food inside me to try and improve my health, but we seem to rely almost wholly on...

The Glorious Ann Miller

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 27 Aug 10

Is anyone else a big fan of this lady? I remember seeing "Kiss Me Kate" as a child and I was so blown away by her number "Too Darn Hot", that I would watch it again and again. She had the world record for most taps a...

Well I Didn't Know That

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 26 Aug 10

I'm one of those people who enjoys the opportunity to say that! I like learning new interesting facts, especially about Hollywood's "Golden Age" players! I'm reading a biography on Mae West at the moment, but the author has...

I'm a widow to Count Takeshi!

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 23 Aug 10

My partner is becoming literally obsessed with "Takeshi's Castle". He'll even re-watch episodes I know he's seen before! He watches it every evening on Challenge for an hour and if Ninja Warrior is on too, he'll watch that as...
