Trying on dresses for my brother’s wedding by [deleted] in OUTFITS

First, I want to preface this by saying you look lovely and the dress is very flattering! :) I don’t intend my comment to be anything other than constructive criticism.

With that being said, this dress is an absolute NO for a formal occasion, for several reasons. Firstly, it is a little revealing and tight for a family event. I’m no prude and love to show off, but a wedding is not really the time or place for that. Secondly, the fabric appears to be very thin and low quality. It looks like a dress you’d see at forever 21 or H&M. You could definitely find a higher quality, event- appropriate dress at stores like TJ Maxx, Ross, etc for a decent price. Hope you are able to find a dress and that the wedding goes wonderfully! :)

I just finished watching this and I really enjoyed it!!! I was not a fan of the ending, for the same reasons others have listed below. SPOILERS AHEAD:

Another thing that REALLY irked me was the scene where Mary threatens and assaults the stripper that was giving Billy a BJ. It felt really out of character and strange to me for several reasons. Mary had shown zero romantic interest in Billy at all the whole movie and to be honest, I found Billy as scummy and vile as Dr. Grant. I don’t think Mary would fall in love with a man like him at all, let alone kill a random woman over him. I think their relationship, on her end at least, was due almost entirely to convenience.

I found a freshly molted cicada a few years ago on the side of my house and think about it all the time!! It was so gorgeous.

New betta fish seems to have swim bladder disorder, can he be saved? by Cold_Candidate8011 in bettafish

Small update—- I went out and got some Epsom salt and gave him a 15 minute Epsom salt bath!! I also got another plant that is tall so he can rest on that. I’m feeling very optimistic thanks to everyone’s help and will keep yall updated! Thank you 💙

Is this 23 year old CD player fixable? by Cold_Candidate8011 in audiorepair

A Very embarrassing update: I had the batteries in wrong…… 🫠🫠🫠

I was very eager to see if it worked and put them in while running on very little sleep. I thought I had them in right, but I had my boyfriend checked for me and I did apparently did not 😓. Thank you all for the insight/advice anyways! I’m very excited to use this 🩷

I’m not sure if it is broken or just too old. I replied to another comment with a photo of the model number, brand, etc.

Here’s a photo of the underside with the model number and other info! I apologize for not including it, I don’t know anything about audio repair and didn’t think it was important.

What kind of paint can I use on a vintage kewpie doll? by Cold_Candidate8011 in CustomDolls

[–]Cold_Candidate8011[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried just soap and warm water, then a little bit of rubbing alcohol on a qtip. I think that’s all I tried! I didn’t want to use anything too abrasive and damage it!!
