You come across as a snobby bitch.

I'm a lawyer, went to a very good school and did well, am successful, have a healthy retirement account, and no debt except a small-ish student loan and mortgage (never, ever had a car payment). During the week I wear conservative nude eyeshadow, along with my conservative suit (which is why I don't do OOTD - because it's boring) and pumps, yet I like to wear glitter eyeliner on the weekends.

The current culture of the fashion board is fun, lighthearted, and pretty non-judgmental about different people's taste. I love that about the board.

My job is extremely serious and extremely stressful. I love it, but come to these boards for silly, lighthearted talk about makeup and clothes. It's funny that you feel judged by people who think that you must not be able to discuss MM or CE&P because you care about fashion and beauty, because you are doing the exact same thing by saying that people who like glitter or spend money on makeup hauls don't also care about or know anything about financial issues.

Wow. I'm not sure how you got all of that, but SMO is not exactly someone I'd call snobby and bitchy.

You could have made your same point by saying you had a conservative job and liked to let loose on the weekends. By giving us your job, your very good school, that you did well, your retirement account and low debt status makes you sound...well...like a snobby bitch.

Perhaps I should not have included so much detail. I only did so because I felt like gross generalizations were taken about "types" of people who post on different boards, and I was irritated about it. I apologize if I acted like a snobby bitch.

I also apologize for lashing out at Smo publically. I'm still irritated, but really, it's fucking GLITTER EYELINER. LOL.

WTF happened here?

[statlerwaldorf]

Wow. I can't believe this was the hot topic of the day.

[Deleted]

Any chance we could just delete this entire thread and pretend it didn't happen? LOL.

[basilosaurus]

This is fucking hilarious. Look at me, I'm a lawyer, so smart and rich (see my portfolio!) that I can dress like a tweeny clown.

Also, lol that debating things to death is some form of proof that we care.

[frauschmindy]

We're lawyers!

[teflep]

This is so odd. It's a sub board. I get we like to beat horses to death, resurrect them and beat them again but this is some ish. Add this to my squickiness over global mods.

Also, glitter eyeliner? People really are rude about someone's choice to use? Tell me that is not stupid.

Finally, as for talking about their wealth....yeah, we have a few regs here who do so quite often. Big deal.

[karinothing]

Wow. This post got a bit out of control after I left. All I have to say is MM sub boards rule!

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

What is glitter eyeliner? That's a thing?
Someone pass my Bonnie Bell lip smacker. I need to get purty.

I can't believe this topic went to 8 pages.

Oh yeah, blame it on my uterus. I am, after all, nothing more than a silly woman, rational thought held captive to the dictates of my out of control hormones.

I do declare, has anyone seen mah smelling salts? I believe I may be have use of them if I am called upon to think more deeply.

If you see my response in the glitter thread, that is how I respond to glitter eyeliner threads. Reasonably and respectfully. I hardly ever show snark because some things float people's boat that would sink mine. However, glittery eyeliner is up there and aside from the brown shade that you could barely detect glitter, it wasn't that appealing to others.

In this thread, yes, snark was mine and I own it. However, in regard to MM and even on this board, I can't see people going from a nude eye( last weeks post with soontobeka) to glitter eyeliner. I made the deduction that MMers were on the same wavelength as PCE. Could be wrong. But hey.

HAB- I didn't feel it strongly enough to stop posting. I just came to grips that some people I respected might take me as a vapid FBer. Not all people gave that impression, but I felt it enough I guess.

Smo as a snobby bitch? Yeah, not buying that.

[copzgirl1171]

I am prepared to throw down against anyone who talks shit about Smo, for real.

[arborgold]

I don't think there can be any doubt that there will be record breaking posts on GBCN here if we can have EIGHT pages about THIS.

p.s. I think I'm team HAB on this, but shhhh don't tell anyone!

Edited: because I swear, I really DO know the difference between their, there, and they're. Usually. And after my latte.

I am with you on this one, Tef. Ellie has been awesome as admin, and she's impartial. Like it or not, most of our regulars are not at all impartial.

Though I don't want to de-rail this really important thread about makeup and sub-boards so maybe this is a post for another place.

This thread is proof that everything will be just fine over here. NOW it feels like home.

NO, IT'S PROOF OF IMMINENT IMPLOSION!!

Helleeeeeer, mm said so.

The real question is... Is this going to be dubbed glitterlinergate? Not to be confused with boots and glue?

This thread is entirely too long. First 8 pager right?

Apparently anything to do with glitter of any kind means a nice, long, thread lol

I'd run around panicking, but I haven't had my coffee yet.

[pixy0stix]

ALSO! I love glitter. I love all things shiny. Glittergate occurred because it was badly applied glitter with mod podge, not because it was glittery.

[heyjude]

This thread is about glitter? Dammit. I really shouldn't drink and nest.

[pixy0stix]

Smo brought up glitter eyeliner, now we're debating that. Keep up NB!

[Deleted]

Will you all hate me if I said I liked the second glitterliner option in that thread?

But I'm not a fancy lawyer, just a SAHM who gets jazzed up now and then. lol

[pixy0stix]

yessssssssssssssss.... 9 pages! I need to go shower and put on some glitter for the day.

Sorry when people start waxing poetic about makeup I tend to tune out.
