I wish I had one but I suck at making and maintaining friendships. :(

Ahhh thank you!

Wow that’s gorgeous. Yeah, BlackMilk is legit!

I used to care a lot more about what I wore - I had a grunge punk thing going on. Lots of plaid flannel with torn up jeans, a wallet chain, Doc Martens, and a punk band patch battle jacket. Now I mostly live in plain black leggings and a dark gray tee, because I’m mostly at home and it’s just easier to work out, do housework, etc in that kind of clothing. I get my leggings from Rep Fitness and my t-shirts from Amazon.

I do still wear jeans and plaid flannels a lot when I go out. Jeans are hard because my body is a weird shape due to weightlifting. I’ve always had a big butt and thighs, but now they’re swole so jeans never fit right. If they fit in the butt and thighs, they’re enormous in the waist, with a big gap in the back, and constantly sliding down. Plus I’m 5’0" with a short torso so usually low-rise fit the best, but those are hard to find (I think high-rise is more popular right now?). Currently I get jeans from American Eagle but they’re not a great fit. I’d love to find jeans that fit my body and don’t make me look dumpy!

I took a look at the sites you linked, and they look awesome - they definitely have things that are right up my alley! Have you checked out BlackMilk? You might like some of their stuff!

I can tell from all the supportive comments you’ve left in this thread - I bet you’re a great friend!

Me too! It’s just so satisfying to organize things :)

Tori Amos - Yes, Anastasia

I know, right?! So pretty

You are officially hired as my hype man haha

Just that I love it and I don’t think I give her the attention she deserves. I have over 300 nail polishes (yikes!). But I’m thinking I’ll get a pedi with Ethel next week, and use the two ILNP colors for my St Paddy’s mani.

Oh man, you have nice long nailbeds - mine are lil stubby things. I’m jelly!

It’s really nice that you can play for family and friends. I haven’t been consistent enough with practicing to have that kind of confidence, and I’m too much of a perfectionist to let them see me struggle. But I bet everyone loves your karaoke sessions!

I love '60s pop and classic rock, so that’s what I’d like to be able to play eventually. Just gotta work at it!

Ahhhh thank you!! Yeah I guess I’ve always been good at artistic endeavors. But I can’t take credit for the intricacy, that’s all down to the nail stamping plates :)

I used these:

Thank you! ☺️ Just a hobby. This one was a labor of love because it took a bunch of steps. But I really love nail stamping and couldn’t stop staring at them for like a week haha

I struggle with nails vs guitar playing. I practice my guitar on and off, and whenever I’m in a good groove with practicing I keep the nails on my fretting hand really short. But then there’s less room for pretty designs which is a bummer. How do you keep your nails long and not have trouble fretting?

Also just curious, tell me what kind of music you play!

Yeah I really love Ethel and was secretly hoping it would get more love, haha… but the ILNP ones seem to be pretty popular!

Hi! What a pretty shade of mint green :) Here’s some nail art I did sometime last year:

I do love Mood Ring! She says a different green on each finger and toe (which I could do because I have like 40 green polishes) but I’m trying to streamline things haha

Most people seem to like those two polishes the best. I think this idea is the winner! ☘️

Yup! :)

Hmm…do you have a suggestion for a better name?

That’s OK! It just feels like lemmy has too few places for us to congregate and discuss our interests or experiences as women or femme-leaning folks. The things I listed are just examples, not an exhaustive list. But some of us are into stereotypical things, and that’s valid too. I’m sure most people are a mix - e.g., I like nail polish and weightlifting; also makeup and building things.
