Good tip! Unfortunately the boots I want are exclusive to UA, so no luck with that haha. Read More

I think I mentioned some suggestions on the other thread about winter shoes. Read More

LOL, no kidding. Apparently you're not cool unless you have a blog. Hahaha jk. The blogs I have checked out that belong to LSS members are actually pretty neat! Read More

Ditto about the peeptoe booties. Just not very practical at all for me. Ditto also about flat boots. I love my Gabriella Rocha ones I got last year so much that I wanna get them in black too (I have... Read More

The usual places: Nordstrom Rack, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, etc. Zappos.com is a good place to look for shoes. Urban Outfitters has a couple of suede flat boots at a decent price... You can get Ugg-style boots pretty much anywhere now... Read More

You could use one as a belt buckle... I have this neat belt with a butterfly as the buckle, and the belt is turquoise elastic! Soooo...I'm thinking you could get some fun-colored elastics, and use the brooch as a fastener.... Read More

If and when you do, you better be posting some pics so we can all marvel at how fab you look! LOL Read More

uhhhh...that would be "packs" of 2. Read More

My fave flops of all time are Reefs...the ginger style. They are oh-so-comfy, come in fun and functional color combos, can be thrown in the washing machine if they get too icky....annnnd you can buy them in pack of 2... Read More

I agree!! Work it J! Read More

LOL...when I was younger, my best friend's (at the time) mom trampled a few people at one of those sales to get me an Elmo doll...totally wacky. Read More

I've found some wonderful brooches at antique shops for VERY cheap prices. I am actually planning on turning one that I bought recently into a hair pin to wear for my wedding...its still a long way away...but when I saw... Read More

The trick is to style them well. For instance, pairing them with a flowy (note: non-fitted) top or tunic is a nice option for someone who maybe self-conscious about looking too small. Or, a bulkier sweater or something for colder... Read More

Boots, boots, boots!! I live in snow country USA (AKA, the midwest) so boots of all sorts are a must! This includes flat boots and heeled boots, and all of mine are taller (just below my knee)...cuz you know, 3... Read More

Woohoo! Way to go!! Read More

No prob!! You should give the "boot tucking" a try. I have bootcuts that I wear tucked in some times. The boots just need to be roomy enough in the calf...I actually will tuck them into my socks first and... Read More

I buy what I like, whether its a trend or not. If I do happen to go for a particular trend, I don't bother to buy the expensive version...instead I hit up H&M or Forever 21, etc...that way there's less... Read More

I'm not really into the Baby Phat stuff...not my style I guess, but there are people who can pull it off well. Read More

LOL...I had a feeling you would! Haha Read More

Tall and lean women can get away with a lot of looks (hence why models are tall and lean). Empire dresses can look nice, just make sure they are an appropriate length, otherwise they can look silly and a bit... Read More

Hmmm...there's really no good way of fixing that. However, the simple fact that they are all worn in the back tells me they may have been too long in the first place. Depending on how badly worn they are, you... Read More

Well, it depends on what kind of look you are going for... You could wear it with a flowy top for a more romantic look, or even with a simple t-shirt for a more edgy look. You could try a... Read More

Yeah, its hard to take the time to sort and sell...but it'll be worth it in the end! Let us know when you post stuff on e-bay (free adverstising, lol). Read More

Hahaha...yeah. I like belted looks for the most part, but I agree that it gets old. There ARE other ways to accesorize... Read More

Ditto Read More

Wooohooo! Thanks! Read More

Just found out about this...Is anyone else excited??? Looks like the collection will be arriving in March. I have yet to see any pics of what may be included, but here's a blog that talks about it: http://www.thebudgetbabe.com/archives/900-Alexander-McQueen-for-Target.html Read More

YESS TJ Maxx and Marshalls is a MUST...It can sometimes be a pain to sift throught the mounds of crap (some stores are worse than others), but if you are determined, it is so worth it. They often have Betsey... Read More

I just got my December issue...I looked through the whole thing but didn't see a winner announced anywhere...LSS, where can I find out who the winner is?? Read More

Awww thanks MrsRpd...you're so nice! Read More

LOL...yeah, that's my problem with Plato's. The kids that work in the ones that I've been to have no idea who Betsey Johnson is (blasphemy!) or anything that can't be found at the local mall. There is no Wasteland near... Read More

I'm not really sure people understand the concept of the contest. Its not really clear. From what I understand, you're supposed to upload a pic inspired by one of the watches shown in the contest description...right? Read More

Yeah, very true alya! They don't have any events near me, so I'm stuck with my own closet, my webcam, and bad lighting, lol. Read More

Yes fashionmom, I do have a couple of friends that I have check out my stuff before I sell them or give them away. I agree, I like having someone I know be able to enjoy the stuff as much... Read More

Yeah...that is a bit skewed. Especially since the contests are supposed to be about our OWN style...I would think that would require items that we actually own and wear, not stuff we put on for a photo shoot with help... Read More

Thanks for fixing that glitch in the new contests...it was really bazarre seeing all of those entries from the same person, lol! Read More

Grrr, I just wrote a whole thing and it didn't go through! Anyways, in a nutshell: I like Nanette Lepore's perfume (both the rose one and Shanghai Butterfly), The newer Prada one (Infusion D'iris), Betsey Johnson's, and Lulu Guiness. Read More

I am fine with that justification :) Read More

Hey Ruthem, From what I understand, she was taking some time off of running the site in order to go back to school. In the meantime, check out her links, she's got some good stores listed that I've checked out! Read More

Oh I agree! I love eating outdoors on a nice day!! Especially if there's people watching!!! Read More

No prob! I'm always happy to share when I find good deals...gotta spread the fashion love! Read More

OMG I KNOW!!! She needs some SERIOUS deep conditioning. It looks so fried! Yeah, the teasing certainly doesn't help haha. Read More

Just the other day I thought it would be funny to dress up as Bill Murray. People often misunderstand me when I first tell them my name (Vilmarie) and think I am saying Bill Murray. I had a friend who... Read More

There's a cute vintage store in town here where I have bought some things, but I don't get out there that often. I have found some online sites that are pretty good dazzlin! Check out archivevintage.com , kittygirlvintage.com , hemlockvintage.com... Read More

What do you mean "were"? I'm still pulling off the Punky Brewster look! In fact...I should go add her to my style inspirations on my profile.... Read More

LOL alya. You crack me up! Read More

I used a Neutrogena blush a long time ago after having a bit of an accident with my usual brand (it was dropped and crumbled everywhere). I was in a blush crisis so I ran to Walgreen's and decided to... Read More

Yeah yeah yeah, you tell me that Chanel story all the time! Hahaha Read More

Tyra is allllllll about the drama! Read More

I never knew they "left"! I always see them around when we're shopping mom...I think we just may be a bit distracted by the Prada, Marc Jacobs, etc haha. LeSportSac just doesn't compare. Read More

Health/natural food stores, I'm guessing. Read More

http://www.webmd.com/diet/acai-berries-and-acai-berry-juice-what-are-the-health-benefits annnd I'm done. I apologize to anyone totally bored/annoyed by my multiple posts on this topic! Read More

I was able to access the MedLibrary here at work. Nothing new there except for dosage info from the Review of Natural Products: "Numerous dosage forms are available including juices, powders, capsules, liquids, creams, and lotions. Capsule dosage guidelines are... Read More

I'm guessing the fact that its rich in protein and fiber is where they are coming up with it being useful for weightloss or maintenence, as both of those things help us to feel full. Read More

Some more goodies: "The acai berry is also a rich source of protein and dietary fiber, in addition to high levels of both omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, thought to have a protective effect on the heart and cardiovascular system.... Read More

FYI: I've been trying to do some research for you regarding this by utilizing my school's EbscoHost and other scientific and medical journals that I have access to. So far, all I've found is that its got some significant antioxidant... Read More

You gotta get those Hunters mom! NO MORE UGGS! The Hunter brand even makes super warm socks to wear with their boots! Read More

Yes please! Read More

That's the problem...the people who probably COULD afford to buy them, don't have to. Ugh! Read More

HA! Why rent a van, we can all fit in the explodition! (That's our name for my dad's expedition) Read More

I don't trust any ads on myspace haha. Buuut, from what I understand, there are several different companies that make the product. I haven't seen any info as far as negative effects, but its also a fairly new thing. Mom,... Read More

Do you have a favorite vintage item you've purchased Stef? Read More

Hey everyone! I'm a bit of a vintage lover, and was curious to hear about your favorite or best vintage finds. One of my favorites is a baby blue button-up western style shirt that I bought for $5 at a... Read More

Soooo, I've tried them and am pretty happy with the results. I tried mixing them together first, but it was still a bit too dark. Sooo today I used the concealer all over first, which was just a tad too... Read More

LOL, thanks Dazzlin! Read More

I am not fond of any look that requires the lack of bathing. I mean really, at the very least run a comb through your hair. If they look like they might smell bad, I'm just not digging it, I... Read More

Woohoo! I don't even read Vogue! They should hire me :). Read More

Ditto! I can't remember the last time I bought anything full price! Read More

Only four stores??? Boooo...I guess I can forget about that one. I would try ebay...but like you said, you can't really see what it looks like or how it fits. Read More

Ahhh yes, Canal St...so much fun hahaha. Read More

Do you work for the company? That's quite an eloquent review you've written there. Read More

Sooo I just got my purchases in the mail today! I bought the mineral foundation and the mineral concealer. Based on some of the reviews, people had said the foundation was too dark. Looking at it, I can agree. The... Read More

I appreciate your expertise Dazzlin'! There's nothing wrong with getting a little education while we talk fashion! Thanks! Read More

LOL...thanks for understanding. I may have come off a bit harsh there. I do agree that the quality is pretty much incomparable and the pieces are all beatiful! I have a small head, btw ;). Read More

As much as I love Chanel...its DEFINITELY one of those that I can only admire from afar. I mean, nearly $500 for a HAIR BOW?!?!?!?! (and that's at 20% off retail!) I can make that thing for under $10 if... Read More

Thanks for the info LSS! We love you :) Read More

I actually don't consider them that expensive. I mean, when you compare it to department store brands, or even some "convenience" store or supermarket brands, its obviously cheaper or equally priced (vs other supermarket/convenience brands). I agree that the quality... Read More

We have to wait until December??? Sheesh!!! Read More

I'm dying to know who won! There were sooooo many great looks! Read More

Yeah...to bad be can't use our codes with it :(. Read More

Hooray for giveaways! Thanks for the info Caryn! Read More

Ooh thanks for the links! I checked them out and I really like all of those far better than the typical styles they carry. The should do a remix collection every season! Read More

The only things I have ever purchased there are styling tools. I prefer Sephora and Lancome for the rest of my beauty needs. Read More

I looooooooove their triple moisture hair care line. The serum is my friend :). Read More

Yeah, I thought there was one in that area. As far as ebay goes, I'm always skeptical of buying anything. If you do decide to go that route, make sure you provide a good description and good pics. The downside... Read More

Darn it....I didn't get a chance to get a pic that day!! I'll try to get one soon! Read More

Nope, not yet. I don't get out to Madison much, as I live about 2 hours from there. I have a wedding to go to there in December, so perhaps if I have time, I'll stop in and check it... Read More

I ALWAYS tip 20% unless the service is obviously horrible (and not related to anything beyond the server's control). In that case though, I would rather let the waiter/waitress know I am upset about the service so they can perhaps... Read More

I looove Betsey shoes! They can sometimes look painful, but I have found them to be pretty comfy. I haven't had any experience with the Betseyville shoes in particular, but they can't be all that different than the other line...at... Read More

No! I've never seen it! Sounds interesting though...I'll have to do a little searching to see what I find. Thanks for the info! Read More

Oh PS: My colorist always says to try and hold off washing your hair after I get my color done. I usually wash it every other day, but if I've just had it colored, I'll usually wait an extra day. Read More

There are lots of products out there for maintaining blonde hair! Fekkai has a really good product line that my mom has used and has really liked. Read More

LOL I saw that too! I was like...wait a minute.... Hahaha Read More

Amen to that sister...I guess the only thing we can do is not feed into it...boycott celeb designer shopping!!! Haha Read More

I have had VERY good luck at Buffalo Exchange and would highly recommend it to anyone that has one nearby. As far as cleaning out the closet, make sure to set aside plenty of time! I did this recently, and... Read More

I think you guys would be proud of me. I am wearing the closest I could get to a brown/navy combo today...and I don't hate it! I am wearing my darkest wash jeans with a brown top and brown flat... Read More

You've got mail Stella :) Read More

I think they are great for travel and things like you mentioned...but as a "purse" they are usually too sporty looking for me. I did like some of the Stella stuff too though. Read More

(disregard the apostrophe in "black's" please)...I REALLY wish we could edit our posts or at least delete them and rewrite them again! Read More

Caryn, are you anal about your black's matching by chance?? If I wear the same color of something, it needs to match, unless its an obvious texture difference...I'm kinda weird haha. Read More

With that dress, I wore white patent t-strap flat sandals...its actually the dress I entered for Urban Elegance, and it is currently in my profile. To be honest...I don't really have a bag that looks good with it...so I just... Read More

Yeah, me neither...she often looks a bit frumpy. Read More

Love my Lancome juicy tubes, and Kiehl's gloss in black raspberry. Read More

Yay! I just checked my e-mail and got a nice surprise!! Thanks!!!! :):) Read More

Well said Dazzlin! Read More

Oooh right! Ummm...okay...no spam please people...I will hunt you down! Bimbi284@aol.com Read More

I'm not overly matchy matchy, but I do wear a lot of color, so I tend to keep my accessories pretty simple and basic. I have a couple of necklaces that have different charms and stuff on them that seem... Read More

I really felt that Korto should have won. The colors, the beading, the pleating, the choice of fabrics...all right on. While I liked Lee anne's, it didn't "wow" me quite as much as Korto's did. I also feel like Korto... Read More

OMG!! I have not seen/heard of it...but oh how I've dreamed of having a closet like that!! That is pretty neat though...I'll have to take a gander. Read More

Her stuff is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced. I mean c'mon...jersey knit is not expensive! The bags she had were cute, but I've never seen them in person...only on TV. I have yet overly impressed with celeb fashion lines Read More

I DID!! How'd you know! It unfortunately wasn't for me though haha. I got a sweater for my fiance. LOL about the shoes...haha... But yeah, I have seen better deals at other places sometimes too, so I usually shop those... Read More

It depends on the color and where you get it, but I think they can run from like $8 up to $18... Read More

Sooo I was at Walgreen's today picking up some stuff, and I happened to see a brown revlon polish. It was cheap, so I decided to try it! I'll be giving myself a mani/pedi tonight! I'll let you all know... Read More

I WISH I could go to one in person...sigh.. As for RueLaLa, I just got something in the mail today from them! I have ordered from there before too and have never had problems...love it! This regent's secret is one... Read More

There is a category for costumes, but I think a specific gallery would be fun! Read More

I have been thinking about that lately too. I have used some Lancome samples I have gotten and nothing seems to really change any of the lines I have...I guess I just figure that people are SUPPOSED to age...and wrinkles... Read More

Yay! Someone on my side! LOL. Stella, just click on her name under her pic. It'll take you to her profile, where you can browse through her looks. I believe the black/brown outfit is on the 2nd or 3rd page... Read More

Ooooh...I'll have to check it out! I haven't been to her site in awhile...which is really probably like 2 weeks...that's a long time for me haha. Read More

Gotcha...yeah, I wouldn't pay more for the shipping unless I had paid next to nothing for the item! Which, of course, never happens, even if it is a sample! Read More

Thanks!! I may have to take you up on that offer haha...I HATE the app process with a passion... Read More

Hmmm...how would you say their nailpolish compares to OPI? Read More

I still haven't decided haha...I guess I'm waiting for that perfect item...or that perfect sale! Read More

Ahh yes, my mom and I have a good pal at the Nordstrom in MN...she is great. You are right on with that one stella! Read More

The next day??? I know with hautelook it can take a couple of weeks because of the way they get their merchandise. Gilt has pretty normal shipping, but not next day...I suppose if you paid for the extra shipping it... Read More

I am SO with you on this dazzlin....I don't care how you style them, or they different versions of them...once a croc, always a croc...icky! Read More

I was wondering the same thing! I am kind of picky about my makeup in general, but I get really annoyed if my nailpolish chips soon after I have my nails painted! Read More

I agree with MrsRpd, he is a decent judge, but a boring designer. I have dubbed him "Michael Bores" hehe. I only have one item of his, and I bought it for a specific function...and at TJ Maxx, so its... Read More

I wish I did live near NYC so I could get in on that! I am a member of a few of those sites too (ideeli, ruelala, hautelook, gilt) and really like 'em! Read More

You're welcome! :) Read More

Some of Betsey's stuff can be a bit out there, but that's part of why I love her! She has some jewelry that is actually really pretty and not at all over-the-top, you should check it out! I actually bought... Read More

Okay, we'll try it again. Haha. When you are on "My Page", look for where its says MyLooks Widget. Directly to the left of that text, there should be a couple of links. Click on the one that says "edit... Read More

The lucky moderator has commented on some threads regarding this, so you may wanna browse the forums...as I'm sure they could answer your question better than I, lol. Basically its hard to control how others are rating, and yes, some... Read More

Hey dazzlin! The wonderful thing about the spotter points, is that every once in awhile, the site will have special rewards for people that are top spotters. For example, just recently, the top powerspotters got a $50 gift code to... Read More

LOL dazzlin! Sounds like a challenge! Lets see those pics! Read More

You're welcome Stellamae, hopefully it works! Read More

Yes! Please do! I think that would helo us get an idea of the coverage, as we could compare it to the other pics you have...in fact, you could do like a "before and after" shot side by side! LOL Read More

I don't mind mixing other dark shades, and I actually really like how that looks some times...its the brown/black/navy that's a problem for me. Read More

Hey Stellamae, if you go to your page, there is a link above your avitar toward the right that says "edit profile". If you click on that, you should be able to find a box in which you can upload... Read More

Not to butt in here, but Helouise/Farielle2, where in the Caribbean are you from? Read More

Thanks Lucky! I was so shocked when I opened the e-mail! I was like, "HEY! That's ME!". Then I proceeded to forward it to my entire family :). Read More

How often do you use it Stef? Do you have any pics on here where you are wearing it? Read More

I mean like Alya says above, lol Read More

NO navy pants with brown shoes. Like Alya says below, a camel/caramel/light tan is best with navy. Read More

Okay, I take that back! The stuff he designed for his collection are NOT good...and he had sooo much potential! I am currently loving what I am seeing of Kenley's and Luanne's (or is it Leeann?). Korto's is nice too...buuut... Read More

Note to Lucky: You should let us know when we can expect the announcement of contest winners...that way we aren't wondering and posting threads about it all of the time....the suspense is still killing me! Read More

Ooh yes, mixing denim is bad too! Read More

I haven't tried Bare Minerals, but I have tried other mineral makeup brands. My skin tends to get oily, and any mineral makeup I've tried seems to look streaky and change color once the oil kicks in, so I try... Read More

Hey all! I thought it would be interesting to start a discussion about these color combos. I myself loathe black with brown or navy. Its just one of those things I could never wear, regardless of who makes it. It... Read More

Alrighty, I ordered a few products today...I'll let you know what I think once I try them out! Read More

Caryn, that's really strange! I had no problems entering the contests. You should try to contact the magazine itself via the luckymag.com website. I think there is a "contact us" link somewhere in there! Read More

Ooh I'm a sucker for free samples too! Thanks for sharing!!! Read More

Well, for the most part, yes. However a lot of girls do wear leggings with dresses and skirts...not my cup of tea, but it works for some. I think they can work well with tunic tops or "dresses" that are... Read More

I agree Katie...perhaps if the clothes were on actual people, they would look a bit more exciting. That, and the last time I think I wore anything XOXO was about 10 years ago... Read More

She was my favorite too! Go figure! LOL Read More

Awww major bummer! Thanks for the warning too...I was considering purchasing something the other day. I'll definitely try and see if I can find it in store first to actually see it! Read More

I have a few of those promo codes too, and probably won't use them all, if anyone is interested, let me know! ....if only they would let you use more than one of them at once! Read More

Ditto, the widget never worked for me. Read More

lol Alya. Yes, leggings are different than tights. Tights are basically thicker, opaque nylons or pantyhose, while leggings are actually pants, just very tight and stretchy....they are thicker than tights, and don't have "feet"...although they do have footless tights now... Read More

I'd say Sephora has more variety of actual beauty (makeup, perfume) products, and they have a lot of stuff you can't find at other places. Ulta, at least the ones I've been to, seem to have more hair products, and... Read More

Sooo...wouldn't they be called "armings"?...just sayin'... Read More

Northwestern has a PhD program in Psych, but I am going for my PsyD, which is more clinical versus the more research-based PhD...I did apply to Northwestern for my undergrad, it was my #1 choice, but I wasn't accepted :(.... Read More

Well if not Cincinnati, I am also applying to some schools in the Chicago area (Roosevelt, The Chicago School, Midwestern), so we will see! Read More

FYI MrsRpd: I may be moving to Cincinnati come Summer...that is, if Xavier will have me for their doctoral psych program! Read More

Caryn! I think you should get bonus points for recruiting! Way to bring in some good newbies! Read More

OMG! I am picturing little kids in nice suits with slicked back hair...and some canollis. Read More

That's why I do most of my shopping in MN. I grew up there from age 4 on, and my parent's still live there. I live right on the border of WI and MN now, so its not too far... Read More

I love Jarelle too! He is too funny and has some real talent. I think its funny that sometimes he starts his designs and I'm wondering what the HECK he is thinking, but when it all comes together it is... Read More

Welcome Stellamae :) Read More

LOL! Read More

...the suspense is killing me! Read More

I wonder if its a glitch in the system since there are 2 contests going on at once. Since you entered the kissable contest, perhaps it is registering that as your one entry....just a possibility. Read More

LOL. Thanks Caryn! Gotta love trends for every age! Read More

I just saw in the latest Lucky issue that OPI is also doing a line specifically for Sephora...I will definitely have to look into that! Read More

annnnnd I just realized that I wrote "comsetics" instead of "cosmetics" as the topic. Awesome. Read More

Thanks for the info eboney! I was thinking I would try a gloss or two first and see if I like it, and then go from there. I have sensitive skin, so I worry about using stuff on my face... Read More

Hehehe, no problem Happygirl! I thought it was funny too...yet rediculous that so many people either didn't read the description of the contest, or just didn't describe their outfit enough to tell us what they were wearing hahaha. Read More

Hey everyone! A friend of mine just told me about e.l.f. Apparently its a makeup line that charges only $1 per product! I, of course, am skeptical of the quality as I am VERY picky about my makeup. I was... Read More

I've never really posted anything on ideeli. I may have commented on one particular giveaway, but only to explain to someone how to enter it. That's too bad about the troll! Silly people...I wonder why they even care so much?... Read More

FYI: My trademark look when I was about 8 were stirrup leggings in a bright color, MATCHING (exactly) oversized sweater, and booties. No outfit was complete without a HUGE bow in my head in the same color as the rest... Read More

LOL Katie! Capezios! Good times.... Read More

It doesn't really mean anything, lol. I am Puerto Rican. In a sense, it is a combo of my mom's name (Vilma) and my grandma's name (Luz Maria)...but then there are other Vilmarie's in Puerto Rico...so I guess its just... Read More

Hey Caryn! There is also RueLaLa.com and Hautelook.com...those are more similar to the guilt site. I am an ideeli member for the giveaways too! LOL. Read More

OMG yes! LL was pretty much appalled! As was I...I totally agree about her personal style vs the looks the sends down the runway...eeesh! I like Korto's work...and Jarelle just cracks me up! Read More

I wanna know tooo! Read More

I have been thinking of going as Lucy from the peanuts gang...I could go all out and make a carboard "The Doctor is IN" stand to carry around....kind of appropriate given my psych background! I just gotta find a party... Read More

For those thinking of trying brown, I think its important to remember that any time you go for a really bold or dark color on your nails, they should be short and neatly trimmed! I would think it would be... Read More

No problem! When you do, post a pic so we can all tell you how fab you look in brown! LOL Read More

I loooooooove Bluefly! Great bargains indeed! Read More

I loved those! LOL. American Apparel has something similar now! Read More

OOOH! Thanks for sharing Caryn! I am a sucker for contests! I never win...but maaaybe someday! LOL -Vilmarie Read More

Stef, you can search on the site by designer/brand. Look for Cosabella and Hanky Panky. Just an aside...hanky pankies are my FAVORITE thongs...I will wear nothing else! Read More

PS: You would just apply the stuff at your ends, since you don't really have much of a spikey 'do. If you want more of a spikey/funky look, you should try to get some layers to give you some more... Read More

I think a hair paste or wax would actually be better to add more texture and give it some structure. Alterna has a product that I really like...but I forgot what its called haha. I believe its in a pink...
