The hot topic of this week on beaut.ie was undoubtedly 'Manly Manes' which gave the 50 Fine Things a run for its money on Wednesday with (if I was a radio jock I would say 'Whopping') 156 comments, so here are some of the best of 'em:
Littlemisswonders nominated "Orlando 'Sure why wouldn't I want to wear my elf wig in bed' Bloom". Legalyblonde nearly lost the run of herself thinking about "James McAvoy?... Oh? the pool of drool has now reached a level where life jackets may be required," she enthused.
CB echoed the view of many of you with her choice "I think, for the hair, it has to be McDreamy. He's made for shampoo ads!"
Finally, Ladyelvis took an 'alternative' approach, shall we say. "How's about Elvis when he was on stage and his gelled quiff was flopping about like mad? Swoon. And similarly Clark Gable in Gone with the Wind, sweaty and rugged? Double swoon. Pity they're both dead."
RIP, O Manly Maned ones.
Earlier in the week, in a post about Biotherm's Lait de Gommage scrub , Kitty in the City wondered how that exfoliation buzzword 'slough' was pronounced, to which there were a range of responses (we think Kirstie's 'sluff' is probably the correct one!). Clearly inspired, Kitty went one step further to enlighten us:
"On dictionary.com I got
Advertised
noun
1. an area of soft, muddy ground; swamp or swamplike region.
2. a hole full of mire, as in a road.
3. Also, slew, slue. Northern U.S. and Canadian. a marshy or reedy pool, pond, inlet, backwater, or the like.
4. a condition of degradation, despair, or helplessness.
When I look at my thighs no. 4 applies." If it's any comfort Kitty, mine are more like number 1.
Xgirl had us rating our beauty blunders this week too, and there were some real gems. Roxette told us about the time her grandad washed his hair using Immac, but Twinkletoes took the biscuit. "My best friend’s Dad was always washing his hair in bathroom cleaner. It gave him some nice highlights!" Yikes!
Thursday's super-useful post for all those Oxegen-bound Beaut.ies drew a slew (or should that be sluff - ha) of new tips and recommendations.
Then some filthy minded types (you know who you are) had some strong views on what you definitely shouldn't pick up while you're down there (warning: readers of a sensitive disposition, please cover your eyes now): "if you must bring something home from a festival make it your rubbish or a T-shirt or a slight touch of trenchfoot ? DON'T bring home a baby or a dose of galloping knob rot. We need to start a "Festivals are not just for fornicating" campaign," sternly typed Glamazon.
Ahem. Well it beats all those tired old 'bring baby wipes, sunscreen and condoms' tips you see in the papers...
And finally, Pink Panther's view of the new 'Sicilian' waxing that Kirstie filled us in about on Friday said it all from the 'anti' side of the lady-garden waxing debate: "Jaysus - who'd want a big bald eagle?"
Cries of 'Comment of the week' and even 'Comment of the year' hailed this little gem - so who am I to argue? 'Nuff said, PP!
