I CANNOT stop thinking about this dude who steeps your tea. Almost bought him… tea boy…

These incredibly lifelike portraits of Michael Jackson and Elvis deserved their own submission. Their beauty haunts me.

I was in line at Aldi and this girl with two toddlers in front of me had her card declined and she looked so fucking sad and said “let me call my husband real quick” and it was only 18 dollars, so I just paid for it, and she was very sweet and then as she walked off, the lady behind me said `”You know that was probably a scam, right?” and like, even if it was, like what a sad fucking scam, right? 18 dollars at the Aldi. If you’re “scamming” me for some Tyson chicken and apple juice and cauliflower, then just take my fucking money. 

“A scam” people are fucking wild.

This happened to me, too. A woman had used WIC for the majority of her stuff (which I say from personal experience is such a long and embarrassing process) and to buy the remainder of her groceries, which included diapers and wipes, she used a card, and it got declined. I bought the other $30 of her groceries because hey, I’ve been there, and now I’m not. She was extremely emotional and began to cry and even hugged me. My mom called me on the drive home and could tell I had been crying myself, asked what was wrong, and when I told her what happened, she berated me for being “duped.” I couldn’t believe she could be so disappointed in one of her children for doing something- nice? Is that the hill you want to die on? Getting mad about people needing groceries?

I once paid for a woman’s bill at the vet…it wasn’t a big one, but she was trying to pay for some medication for her dog, and her card was declined. And her lip started trembling, and she says “I don’t get paid until Tuesday, would he be ok until then?” 

So I just told them to add the $20 something onto my bill, and I thought she was going to break down crying right there.

And I don’t care if it was a scam or not. Just do nice things for people sometimes.

Foiled Metal Orange Lids in Gorgeous Biba Ad, 1970s

–

Metallic Burnt Orange Shadow and Rust-colored Liquid Liner look heart-stoppingly beautiful on fair girls with blue eyes. 

Everything about this image, including the feather-collared top, is so incredibly arresting. 

You CAN still recreate this look for everyday. Just ditch the wiggly liner, and use a really vibrant metallic orange/copper tone on the lids with black liquid liner.

For those with darker skins, Sleek’s Curacao i-Divine palette has a gorgeous rich coral-orange (top-left shade). For everyone else, Illamasqua’s Enrapture might be a good shade, if a little less red than in the image above. The main problem is this is a cream base and will slip/slide around. 

The best option so far (it seems to me) if you are light-to-medium toned is TKB’s mica Aztec Gold or Copper Penny. But be warned that if you are very olive or yellow-toned, this can make you look a little sallow if you don’t balance it out with a pink-hued blush.
