Oh, man, just read the OOTD thread

[Deleted]

WHOA! And I feel like I'm in an alternate universe.

There's no place like home. There's no place like home . . . .


Am I back to puppies and rainbows yet?

[pixy0stix]

What? ::runs to read thread::

[pixy0stix]

dammit, now I want cupcakes.

[vampsterdam]

Ha. I just read it, too.

I'll be honest, I don't mind when the board is not puppies & rainbows, but reading everything makes me sad.

(I didn't read everything. I just read the first and last pages.)

We could go back to posting pictures of vag-clothes/shoes? That's always fun.

My dog, when she lays on the ground, looks like a penis. True story.

Good idea Nacho! (Until someone comes and says we're vagina obsessed, of course.)

Oh yeah, I don't want start vag-gate, August version.

[janegold]

The funny thing is...you guys who are all "Down with Puppies and Rainbows!" are getting on House for NOT being puppies and rainbows in OOTD threads.

I'm kind of confused.

Pic please!!

hrmmm... if I don't have one online, I'll take one tonight.

[janegold]

You did. Look - I also prefer call-outs and blunt honesty. I wish there were more of them on this board. But if you guys can be honest about your feelings on House, why is it so bad for her to be honest about her opinions in OOTD?

[Deleted]

I do not want blunt honesty in OOTD and FOTD threads, lol. I do think it's okay to give constructive criticism when someone actually asks for an opinion. I think most/many of us feel so comfortable posting pictures of ourselves because this board is pretty much always nice and sensitive with comments and suggestions. And I really like it like that That's not to say that we shouldn't call someone out on insensitive comments when they do happen.

I don't either.

I do, however, get a kick out of the, "oh um, well, your, er, blush - yeah blush, looks nice." Posts. ;D I get it, I look a hot mess, but I posted a picture! Thanks for giving me that credit/recognition.

[amandasw]

ok, related question (but not directed at anyone, not trying to hint at anything) - do people want constructive criticism in OOTD or only if they ask in their post for it? Is OOTD a place where people give feedback + or -, or is it more "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything"?

ETA: and FTR I love fashion, but I work in a lab so y'all would get super board of my jeans and t-shirt PIPs, lol

[pixy0stix]

I think if people ask, then it's fair game to give them advice. Otherwise I wouldn't say anything.

LOL! 90% of the time there is complete silence regarding my outfits when I do OOTD. That in itself says enough - I don't need anyone pointing out that I suck at dressing myself, lol. However, it makes the other 10% when someone is actually like "cute dress!" so much more exciting, ha.

[ElizabethBennet]

Now I'm all worried I made a horrible first impression on some of you :/

Nah. You seem cool

I really just wanted to post this. The arguing makes me uncomfortable and sad.

[pixy0stix]

Is that a hello kitty pop tart?

I'm okay with a suggestion, like, "Dawgs, that is such a cute dress! You might also try it with [insert whatever] - I think that would look great!" However, I'd rather someone not say, "Dawgs, I don't think those shoes look right with your dress. I would try [insert whatever] next time." Perhaps it's dumb because it's saying the same thing really, but the first is just nicer

That said, if I specifically ask if my shoes look right with my dress, it's totally fine to be like those are the fugliest shoes I've ever seen.

Haha yes!

It's adapted from this, which I have NO IDEA where it came from.

HA HA HA, WTF is that? Is that rectangle the Hello Kitty's body? Is that a rainbow butt smear?

[Deleted]

I totally didn't see that this was a pop tart. LOL!

[amandasw]
