Wanton Wednesday…..The End

I decided last week to end Wanton Wednesday (you can read about the Why here). It had a good run and I’m grateful to everyone who joined in; I adore you all. My final contribution is the color version of a photo I included in the 100th edition post – when I was showing my husband the pics, I skimmed past the color version which he happened to love even more than the black & white version. So that’s what you get!

Share some love with the rest of the crowd, ok?

I hear it’s National Lollipop Day…

or, rather, it WAS. It’s so hard to keep up with these thing, isn’t it? So in honor of that I’m posting an old pic from my HNT days featuring the ever-popular lollipop. Better late than never, right?

Wanton Wednesday: Perfect Necklace

I can’t recall what I was looking for one day on Etsy, but I came across some people who sell jewelry made from antique typewriter keys. I really like this necklace and I think it’s perfect for me. I can wear it when I’m out as Lilly. I can wear it around family. While a computer key would be technically more apropos the typewriter key lends the class and charm I prefer.

Click the pic for a closer view of the necklace!

Wanton Wednesday: Bee Stung Lips

“Lip plumper” products exist to add a supposed extra little bit of fullness to your lips. Many don’t work very well. Some, like this one that I own, work almost too well but only for a short period of time. It’s the Too-Faced brand Lip Injection Extreme and ooohhh boy it is extreme for a few minutes. I have never had the nerve to apply this elsewhere – actually I never thought to apply it elsewhere until my mind went in the gutter today – but I have to wonder what would happen. I tried the product out on the back of my hand and it didn’t do anything. On my lips however…well you can see the difference below. It’s not so much an added fullness that I’m paying attention to here (because that’s minimal), it’s the color. See that color difference? That’s not lip gloss coloring. That’s the effect of the lip plumper – it “increases blood flow”. And it fuckin HURTS. I have to take caution not to apply too much at a time (despite the label saying to apply generously) because it can get to be too painful for me. The pain only lasts a couple of minutes but it’s a burny/tingly pain that can alarm you at first.

Ok so it doesn’t work on the back of my hand. But I bet it would have the same effect on similar skin tissue….say…clitoris? Oh if it did that would be deliciously evil to do to someone. The ingredient that causes this rush of blood flow is all natural from what I can tell so it shouldn’t cause any harm. But if you enjoy pain…..this could be interesting.
