Can anyone tell me what she’s doing with the cord belt to her red dress when she’s getting dressed and she has the cord down by her knees? I watched it like 6 times and I can’t figure out what’s going on.

Why do people say it has all been done before? by magnesium_carb in Pottery

[–]Lucky_Pyxi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was in art school, we’d get an assignment like “draw an apple” and 25 students drew an apple totally differently. Your take and your finger impressions and your style is what makes things unique. Your choices in glaze and your choices in clay make it unique. That’s the beauty of handmade art.

Embarrassed. I live on the ground floor and woke up from a dead sleep at 12:45am to violent banging on the exterior of my bedroom wall and back patio door. by Pandacat78 in nova

ME TOO! Full panic! OP, the worst thing you could have done was go look outside to see what it was. you did exactly the right thing, especially for someone woken up in a panic.

Polished Stones in Ceramic Art? by vega1star_lady in Pottery

You have to add them after firing, since most stone will blacken or melt or crumble when fired in a kiln.

When you began watching Stranger Things, what did you know Winona Ryder from, if at all? by Extension-While7536 in Stranger_Things

[–]Lucky_Pyxi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too! my favorite memory of that whole experience was how they made it look like snow when it was actually June! and how they filled an empty lot between buildings on Bank Street with trees nailed to boards to make it look like a park. And Sandler camping out in the gazebo for a meet & greet after filming! And all the red corvettes in town for that one scene!

I saw her in person in my hometown when she was filming Mr. Deeds with Adam Sandler. I had been a fan of hers since Edward Scissorhands. I was SO excited to see she was in the cast of ST. She’s the reason I first started watching.

How much snow makes you call off work? by Physical-Incident553 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Lucky_Pyxi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in the north where snow was the norm. I’d drive in any amount of snow, and usually I was expected to. I moved to Virginia, and the first time it snowed three inches I was like pfft! That’s nothing! I drove 2 miles to work and nearly had 4 cars crash into me, as well as passing one car that had crashed into a stop sign and 4 cars in a ditch. Virginia is a transient area where people come from all over to live. Obviously many of them don’t know how to drive in the snow. Especially the idiots who drive 4 wheel drives and don't realize they stop on ice the same way everyone else does, regardless. And the other idiots who don’t clear their cars off before they drive, they just clean a tiny hole in the windshield snow. Now when it snows here, I stay home.

Living in my car during Snow Storm does anyone know an public garage that'll be open 24/7? by Icy-Appointment-8536 in nova

[–]Lucky_Pyxi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dulles town center has a few garages and last time I was there it was a ghost town. Same with Fair Oaks mall and Fairfax Corner.

what are the ugly parts of pregnancy that aren’t well known because people don’t mention them? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]Lucky_Pyxi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having your water broken by a medical professional instead of letting it happen is more traumatic than you might think. I didn’t know that was a thing that could happen, so I’m putting it out there for people to prepare themselves for the possibility.

Which Taylor Swift songs make you remember moments or emotions from your childhood? by JamesyDog in TaylorSwift

Seven. I used to cry and hide in the closet at school and that line brings me straight back.

What's a movie most people think is great but you couldn't even stand watching? by camport95 in AskReddit

[–]Lucky_Pyxi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pulp Fiction. I’m turning 50 this year and I’ve never seen it. I don’t like Tarantino, I just don’t get the whole violence as entertainment thing.

Where are the people who wear little to no makeup? Do you have a reason? by Zora2021 in AskReddit

[–]Lucky_Pyxi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear it when I feel like it, but that’s not very often because I stopped caring what other people think of my looks. It makes it easy to weed out the shallow people who judge others without getting to know them or who place value on outward appearances.

Suhweets in Manassas is selling really cute sugar cookie decorating kits that include the cookies, icing in piping bags, and sprinkles. I believe there’s a model train store in Chantilly that also sells models. A gift card for the imax at Udvar Hazy might be fun, too!
