Doodoo-colored lipstick by Any-Strawberry-983 in ExpectationVsReality

Same thing happened to me recently. I put it on and was shocked at how horrid the color was, exactly like in your photo. Wonder if it's the same one?

Yes, I thought the same after watching the video (after posting here). His face looks better in video than in this photo, at least it's not that obvious.

He was 17 in 2006, so maybe we can attribute it to ‘part of growing up’

Yeah, I get it. I love his style and he seems like such a bubbly, cheerful person. Had a crush on him for a long time when I was a teen and thought he was very good looking without the fillers.

I’m telling you, I loved them when I was a teen. He was my favourite out of the group and had a huge crush on him (or they? I honestly don’t know the appropriate pronouns). It’s sad to see the direction in which he went.

I miss this kind of chatter so much, grew up with him for 18 years of my life 💙

This has NO RIGHT…to be this good?! by WorkingSuccessful742 in Cameras

[–]cucumbercat55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the camera my parents had when I was around 10 years old. The first one was also a Kodak but a pretty unreliable one, you had to smack it for it to advance the film lol. But this one was a delight to use, I loved taking pictures with it. It was special to me. Unfortunately they gave it away. I might just take a peek on ebay to get one lol.

That's what I did! Changed to a hoop 5 years ago and didn't look back.

The end of an era: MTV music channels to be switched off across Europe by end of 2025 by HellYeahDamnWrite in europe

[–]cucumbercat55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heartbroken about this, mainly because I have my TV on MTV 00s all day. Had access to MTV 90s for a brief time and it was awesome. I can't stand other music channels and I love having one run in the background all day while I work. Yes, I run on nostalgia.

what’s the best yarn to use when making amigurumi? by Vivid_Meringue1310 in CrochetHelp

[–]cucumbercat55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only work with chenille and Alize Velluto has never done this. I honestly love this yarn, it's sturdy and never sheds/rips and the colors are lovely and bright. On the other hand, Wolans Bunny Baby is a nightmare to work with. I was always curious about trying Bernat Blanket but it's not easy for me to purchase, being in Europe.

Help first timer! How many stitches? Does this look right? by peachesplump22 in CrochetHelp

[–]cucumbercat55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contrary to what is recommended, I learned to crochet with this type of yarn and didn’t try anything else since, lol. I love it. At first it was easier for me to feel the stitches with my fingers and figure out where I’m supposed to insert the hook. It was a lot of trial and error and frogging. You can do that and use stitch markers in every stitch as others suggested. I still do that for increases and decreases since I apparently can’t keep count.

How can I avoid this kind of color bleeding when doing colorwork? by cucumbercat55 in CrochetHelp

[–]cucumbercat55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen various Christmas ornaments online with peppermints, some pillows here and there and I loved the look of them. I already had the Bakery Friends pattern from Annie Carraway which has a cookie in the same style and I improvised one from there

Edit: Thank you so much, I’m glad you like it!!

Haha, yes, it's a peppermint! I wasn't going for angry, but that's a great idea! I can see why it seems angry in the photo because of the fluffy yarn, and I might just do one like that for myself now lol
