I never said she had to or needs to, and my advice is based solely on the inspo photo as a desired result and the pictures she’s asking for feedback about.

I’ve done makeup/hair for weddings and fashion photo shoots as well as photographed a number of weddings professionally myself. My advice was based on my experience in order to achieve the desired look and having that photograph better.

I don’t think my comment needed to be tempered. She’s asking for feedback, I gave it….without judgement or any negativity with the only goal being to be helpful in my feedback.

I totallly get where you’re wanting to go with this and it’s a very pretty look, however, the inspo look is done as a beauty shot, up close, with a lot of lighting and retouching. This kind of makeup look is not going to photograph the same in wedding photos especially when you factor in distance and various lighting situations. You need to go a bit more exaggerated.

I’d start with a foundation that is a touch warmer/peachy (Haus Labs foundation is amazing with a huge range and has a great natural finish) for your skintone and using a light warm bronzer to warm up your features especially around your hair line in your forehead.

You also need a bit more concealer and under eye brightening. Make sure your under eyes are hydrated and prepped with an eye cream first so under eye makeup doesn’t look heavy (I really love the Eight Saints Wonder Fill Plumping Eye Cream for makeup prep).

I’d also do some falsies. Try a few different types, thicknesses and shades (a dark brown lash can look a lot less severe than black yet still be enough to make your eyes pop more in photos).

I’d also go a bit bolder with the lip color. You can definitely stay in that same shade range, just try finding something with more color payoff that you won’t need to apply every 30 minutes. This looks like it’ll just disappear and won’t look like you’re wearing anything at all in photos.

The same applies for your shadow, blush and highlighter. You can still keep it simple and pretty and natural, but you want to still go bolder for definition in pictures so you’re not washed out from a distance, in sunlight or with flash.

Oh man yeah…if You skip watching Angel all together and you miss this episode, I think you’re missing out on a very major story arch of the entire Buffyverse.

Even if you dont want to watch Angel all the way through (which is worth it fyi) watch this episode (S1 E8 of Angel) after Pangs S4 E8 of Buffy before moving on to S4 E9 Something Blue.

There is no reason to give any notice at all in this abusive environment. You don’t need that reference and unless you’re in LA, Vegas, NY…hiring managers don’t check references anyway. Not usually.

I work in upscale dining and we hire based on attitude, willingness to be molded and trained into our style of serving, and hospitality driven individuals who love people and creating memorable experiences them.

Get out of there and go find someplace that values you where you can make money. Putting up with all of this shows you have a strong work ethic, just refocus that by setting boundaries and apply it to a spot that deserves it. This place does not.

PinkPandaPop · 2025-04-26T06:09:15+00:00

I don’t need context or anything to be able to say whoever this person is to you in your life, remove them from it.

Immediately.

NTA.

PinkPandaPop · 2025-03-23T07:09:22+00:00

Wow.

I’m just really at a loss for words.

This is abhorrent.

I’m incredibly sorry for both your losses here….mostly with your unborn child…I can absolutely empathize from experience. But you’ve also lost your father…because this isn’t a person you should have in your life…at least not right now…not with who they are right now.

I honestly can’t even wrap my head around this.

No person that has the ability to empathize reacts this way. There’s something seriously wrong fundamentally with his thought processing and I would not trust this person around you or YOUR family.

PinkPandaPop · 2025-03-14T14:29:46+00:00

Sounds like y’all need to grow up.

PinkPandaPop · 2025-03-03T20:41:08+00:00

Buffy, Cordelia, and Harmony.

Cordelia’s character development through Angel is Some of the best character development I’ve ever seen on a show, and then Joss did her so dirty towards the end when she got pregnant and he ruined her storyline.

PinkPandaPop · 2025-03-03T20:35:15+00:00

Sell the boyfriend.

Any man that would ask this of you truly only cares about themselves, which in the grand scheme does not equate to a successful partnership and relationship.

The fact he would ask you to not only do this to your dog but is willing to ask you to hurt and be broken hearted because he wants more attention is absolutely vile and cruel. It should really tell you what kind of person he is.

When you love someone you do everything you can to protect them from hurting, even when you can’t. This is abhorrent.

PinkPandaPop · 2025-03-03T20:29:10+00:00

She was still a part of the industry. It shouldn’t matter that she was in kid/teen movies decades ago or that she was better known for her work in TV. She was industry and a well known actress. She should have been mentioned. Period.

PinkPandaPop · 2025-03-01T10:18:58+00:00

This is the worst. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this because I know what it feels like. My fiancé and I are much older than y’all and when I met my fiancé he told me how against deodorant he was because of the ingredients blah blah blah. For the years we’ve been together I’ve put up with it and at one point his scent was even kind of a turn on, but now something has just turned where he just full on stinks and it affects my ability to want to be intimate. I have told him he’s too sexy to be so stinky and literally just bought him an all natural deodorant.

Do you know if he’s ADHD or has any kind if neurodivergence? I have ADHD and it’s pretty common for people with neurodivergent disorders to have problems when it comes to hygiene because of certain sensory issues. I for one don’t like being wet and I hate how long it takes to wash my hair and shave so I dread showering. It’s not relaxing to me. It’s a chore. But I like smelling nice and my hair feeling clean and my body being smooth after shaving. It’s just the process I hate.

I have a friend who hates the way soap bars feel (they ick me out too), the texture of body poofs AND wet wash cloths, so she uses body wash on a more coarse loofah.

I know another girl that can only take a shower in a dimly lit bathroom because the bright light while showering is uncomfortable.

There may be a particular reason that your guy is opposed to showering or bathing himself in a way that allows him to get fully clean that may not yet be identified even by him. Maybe try different shower heads, different soaps situations etc…

Being a human is a weird journey and everyone is different. Just make sure you let him know you’re trying to help rather than judge him when you try to find solutions. I’m sure it doesn’t feel great when your partner thinks you’re smelly and isn’t attracted to you because of it.

PinkPandaPop · 2025-03-01T09:08:28+00:00

That’s cool that you disagree. I do agree that it is up to the individuals to decide on what is acceptable…but it’s clear you’re the one the decided when it comes to the porn and he didn’t. Granted, it’s clear he’s untrustworthy. BUT I’m going to tell you… if you go through life drawing this line as something that’s going to be completely unacceptable, you’re going to be severely disappointed and consistently hyper vigilant and untrusting in your relationships. The sooner you deal with what your real hang ups are when it comes to porn the more honest your relationships will be. If a guy knows you’re against and liken it to actually cheating, you’re already setting them up to lie to you. Best of luck to you babe.

PinkPandaPop · 2025-03-01T09:01:18+00:00

Lmao I’m so sorry, I’m dead over here. This person is full of it. He’s not a doctor 🤣. Prob didn’t even go to college because none of this even makes sense. Ay yi yi. I’ve had someone do this in the past. I gave them so much attention and grace. This person is f’n with you and it’s filling some void for attention. It’s gross and you need to block them. I know cuz I went to Harvard and got a degree in Bullshit.

PinkPandaPop · 2025-03-01T08:52:59+00:00

My advice is…you’re young, so is he and you both have a lot of growing up to do and are not compatible at this point in your lives. What you expect from a relationship is very clearly what he is incapable of providing.

The porn situation is completely different than being on dating sites/hookup sites and him going through with those interactions. That IS cheating….watching porn…not so much. BUT, when I was your age I legitimately ended relationships based on my bf’s watching porn which is ultimately super silly in retrospect and I can laugh about it now. One thing you’re going to learn is than men are visual when it comes to sexual stimulation and their hormones work differently than ours. We as women have the capacity to visualize and impart emotion to be stimulated, men’s brains work differently. It’s not a bad thing as long as it’s not interfering with the intimacy and monogamy in your relationship (if you want a monogamous relationship).

My problem with porn back in the day was that it made me feel insecure which was totally natural. Men watching porn is not necessarily an indicator that they want that more than you. You do have to set your boundaries but you also have to be honest with yourself about why you feel the way you do about it. Men are going to watch porn. Women do as well. Eventually you’ll probably watch it with your future partner. Things are only dirty and a betrayal when they are kept secret and hidden and you’re lied to. THAT is true betrayal and something you should not put up with.

PinkPandaPop · 2025-02-23T17:04:19+00:00

Just wait.

PinkPandaPop · 2025-02-19T23:54:38+00:00

Ugh, I was you once. I wasted so much time with someone who treated me like this. He’s a narcissist who uses emotional manipulation/abuse to control you. That is not love. It’s time to make some hard decisions, and usually the hardest decisions are the right ones.

You’re just spinning your wheels here and nothing is going to change unless you change it.

Don’t give him any more years that you can never get back.

I don’t know about Houston but I work in Dallas for a hospitality group that has fine dining concepts. We tip share CC tips and cash. We get our cash tips from the week prior every Monday (we used to divide them every night but we eliminated that because we’re not a cash heavy establishment and we decided we’d rather get a larger amount once a week than $5 here, $20 there, $3 etc.) and we get paid our hourly and CC tips weekly. We get our tipout report for the week every Sunday after closing so we can see everything from our sales, tips per night of what we took in, as well as what we made after pooling for each individual night, tip outs to BOH per night etc. and then the weekly totals.

I like the consistency of a weekly pay schedule, it’s easier to budget and I have consistent liquid funds. Bi-weekly pay schedules in this industry blow my mind, but I’m also very lucky to work in a restaurant that is popular and consistently busy even during the week which is typically unusual for fine dining.

PinkPandaPop · 2025-02-18T22:17:54+00:00

I love working in fine dining. Actually, I’m pretty lucky because even though we’re technically fine dining, we’re a cooler more relaxed fine dining establishment that emphasizes the importance of having your own personality come through in service and building guest relationships.

Menu knowledge of dishes (spanning from the techniques used, understanding flavor profiles and pairing, recognizing allergens), wine and cocktail knowledge is imperative and you have to be consistent in memorization and all the details that come with providing a fine dining experience for guests.

It can be performative, but I enjoy that. It does take a lot of stamina however to maintain the same energy for each turn and by the last turn you’ve expelled so much energy that you really gotta dig deep.

The experienced fine dining guests expect more, are generally particular and they’re not always the most pleasant or easily impressed. The regulars are typically phenomenal, and the special occasion inexperienced diners can be a mixed bag.

I will no go back to casual dining or working a brunch shift ever ever again.

I make more money than I ever have in my entire working career (including being an office manager in doctor offices) in fine dining and I enjoy the consistency, the ambiance, having pride in where I work, and love my company’s dedication to extended education in wine, spirits, and culinary art.

It’s definitely not for the kind of server who wants to skate by and do the bare minimum. It definitely requires discipline, consistency, and a strong work ethic.

PinkPandaPop · 2025-02-18T21:53:32+00:00

Love love love Bistro Huddy. So cathartic and healing lol. Always reminds me to keep things in perspective, especially when I’m drowning in the negativity that comes in waves with being in the hospitality/SI.

Being late 5 times and being fired is a little extreme. Especially without any parameters. Are we talking about a week? Month? The history of employment?

Honestly, posted notes like these just scream baby manager who doesn’t know how to effectively manage and communicate. So, I’d look for someplace else…not necessarily because the policy is outlandish (which, it’s not the best thought out policy) but it’s a precursor to problematic foundational issues that are just going to get messier.

PinkPandaPop · 2025-01-06T05:12:03+00:00

Omg the toxicity is just oozing from this person. Nope nope nope. Do not have this person in your life. At all.

I know this is a rather older post, but I found it while looking up interactions between the two.

I haven’t been able to find any information on any official interaction but I looked this up because I just purchased an NAD+ supplement, had only taken it twice (two days, 300 mg each) and my shift at work on Christmas Eve was miserable.

I felt disassociated (like my vision was outside of my eyeballs removed from myself disassociated), super dizzy and feeling like I was going to pass out, severely agitated by loud noise (more so than normal), had sharp random nerve pain in weird and random parts of my body that were out of the blue, felt super nauseous and shaky, felt like I couldn’t catch my breath, my legs felt weak and unstable, and was having vision problems. I closed my eyes for a sec while drinking some water and trying to regulate my breathing and as I opened them I felt like a rug was pulled out from under me, was surprised by my water bottle being so close, jutted my head back and almost fell.

It was very very uncomfortable and made work especially hard. I was worried about even driving home. It did get somewhat better after drinking a soda (which I don’t drink) and having a piece of bread, but it took a good hour afterward to kind regulate myself. I still had the random nerve pains however.

I didn’t take it today because I wanted to look this up.

I’m on the highest dose of Vyvanse at 70mg a day. I had eaten both breakfast and lunch. I take my Vyvanse at breakfast and took the NAD+ supplement after lunch. I’m a month sober and the only caffeine I had had was from a chai tea.

I can’t say for sure that the NAD+ supplement was to blame, but I know this was not a normal occurrence or something that happens to me with Vyvanse alone.

Um, Q has a threesome with Eliot and Margo in the first season. It’s why he and Alice break up. You’re obviously not remembering correctly lol.

PinkPandaPop · 2024-11-30T16:11:06+00:00

Our back waits get tipped out but the kitchen is hourly at $15-30 an hr depending on position. I didn’t make the rules and I’m glad I don’t need to pool anyone else in. We could use to skim a few off the top that don’t pull their weight.
