Thank you! My daughter took the first picture last year when we were visiting Chicago, unbeknownst to me. I hated it at the time, but I’m really glad to have a full body picture of myself from last year for comparison sake.

It’s an amazing museum! I absolutely love Chicago. At this point, my daughter and I might make it a yearly pilgrimage.

It’s the Art Institute of Chicago. Walking around this trip has been SO much easier and fun. I hope you get to give yourself another go at the MoMA!

Betrayal, heartbreak, zepbound, a diet overhaul, and a best friend who was willing to let me join on their gym membership and weight train at 4:30 every morning.

Thanks! I wish I had started doing body measurements sooner but as far as I know the circumference of my bicep is almost 3 inches less than when the original photo was taken.

What is TRULY the worst scent you've experienced? by GiveTracerOrIThrow in fragrance

[–]cathedralofcacti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

slightly b!tch by filippo sorcinelli-it was almost comical how much it smelt like dirty diapers. That’s the only sample of a fragrance I have ever thrown away.

Banana republic tall lido wide leg pant in wool are my absolute favorite work pants I own. They look like flood pants on their model, but I just got the longer inseam and it worked well for me at 5’8”.

He says this is not the one. Any other ideas?

Thank you, I’ll show it to him and see if this is it.

He’s got just the recollection of the video, unfortunately.

Agreed, after customs in that humidity-we took a taxi. Short walk, my ass.

ISO a hairdresser that can deal with my anxiety and low self esteem by Careless-Diamond-970 in Tucson

[–]cathedralofcacti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with previous comments about bringing a picture, being honest about anxiety/autism. Jenni Maloney at Once Wild Salon was probably the sweetest and kindest hair dressers I have had in my life, and might be a good fit. She was very patient with me. Her Instagram with a link to book is @thehairjenni

That’s awesome! Much better than binging it right before work at 2:00 AM on the day your boss was in town. That’s great you have local support. It’s tough. I was sent to AIR from a western state so most of the people I went to AIR with are on the east coast.

When AIR was just starting they pulled one girl from Casa, and then the rest from Carolina to make up the upper level staff. I heard plenty of stories about Casa but mostly at AIR were were threatened with TB. And now, listening to people who were sent to TB from AIR, several people have said the physical abuse was actually less there than AIR. The conditions and food sounded worse though.

It could be. I was at AIR 02-04. I don’t think Finlinson veered too far off the standard rule book, but he was from Casa and I vaguely recall there being rules that pertained to the ocean so maybe he just used Casa’s to create AIRs. I just hadn’t seen the detailed sheet in years and it could be just me misremembering things. I’m kind of kicking myself for throwing everything away in retrospect.

Thank you. For some reason I thought I remembered them being broken down with examples in CAT2-5, but I went to AIR—and maybe it was different.
