She’s basically wearing a Gibson girl hairstyle. The pompadour is held up with a ring of something like foam or a hair rat, which is hair in a sort of netted tube sock thing. The rest is just swirled and tucked with extra hair pieces for fullness.
You should refer to her as her nickname, Rory, since they’re both Lorelei.
I have always been “non-traditional” looking. When I was young and skinny I don’t think I was ugly but certainly not conventionally beautiful. Now that I’m older I am certifiably “meh”.
The expectation to look pretty (for men) is still there even if I don’t meet the criteria for their attention. I still feel the societal pressure, I still feel bad about my appearance when I’m not serving male gaze ideals. It doesn’t just go away even when you’re disqualified from personhood for being ugly.
I’m hoping becoming an old biddy will release me from requirements and I can feel free.

Huh, crazy. A remaster would be neat, I really enjoyed FF9.
Am neurodivergent AF. I’m the kind that needs ALL OF THE LIGHTS. Not cool tone (hiss) but neutral to warm toned lights. I need the overhead and any and all lamps at the same time- gotta be lit like a goddamn stadium up in this bitch.
We exist.
Am summer fae. Hard disagree. The worst part of summer is indoors where they abuse air conditioning to create a dry frigid wasteland.
And wildfire smoke which didn’t use to be a thing where I live.
My two nearest local papers are run by one company (I think) and their tech people are savvy as fuck. None of these paywall bypass sites work more than once, EVER. Archive doesn’t even work.
THANK YOU Chartreuse is the one I feel like should be a red.
What? In the myth of Narcissus he was not cursed. There was a prophecy but no curse. Echo was the one who was cursed. Narcissus was just so vain he fell in love with his own reflection because no one else could compare.
Ah yes, the booby hatch
Back in my day, we asked how is babby formed on Yahoo Answers.
I wanted to make a joke but it kept coming off as mean at OP so I’ll just say that I think we as a society are mostly over finding stage names of musicians funny/outrageous.
Hm. I think we’d just have to specify our special and unique process only works with water-based paints and primers. Could get away with the hybrid paints though and I think there’s good enough hybrid primers to make it work.
Trials are set to include only adult males at first, then children at later rounds. That’s not ideal.
I’m super pumped about the prospect of regrowing teeth though!
I didn’t adjust well to it because I have an erratic sleep schedule, probably partially from a decade of shift work. I am also not a morning person at all and adjusting to 9-5 (or 8-5 or 8-6:30 which is more common around here) was brutal.
Is the job actually 9-5 for real? Like an 8 hour shift that includes lunch? If so, that’s a pretty sweet gig. Like NOWHERE let’s your lunch be part of your day anymore.
Overall I’m happier at a more consistent job time now. Easier to plan around, no more close-to-open bs.
