That pic makes me laugh. My oh my some records are just plain weird. And pointless. I wonder how she sleeps comfortably let alone anything else.

That has just reminded me that my psychology lecturer who was homosexual had long nails. Not that long :shock: just as long, or maybe longer, than any girls in the class. And he told us that when he did cut them he used to keep them. Someone asked him why and he replied just. When someone asked what happened to them he said they went yellow after a while...

And I remember last summer I was in an asian clothes shop and there was this girl there with her elderly mum. And oh my gosh your eyes were just drawn to her feet because she had on one foot a really long nail on her big toe painted hot pink... Yuck, I have never seen anything so gross. All her other nails were normal with no nail varnish so to draw max attention to this one. Yuck. She would only be able to be wear open toed shoes. My sister was with me and said she'd seen a few girls with that. What a disgusting fad. What shocked me was her mum letting her get away with it. My mum would think I'd gone mental if I did anything like that. And what the hell is just so good or attractive about that anyway?!

😂 (you're so funny Noorie)

Honestly, there are some stupid stupid fads.

Big diamond, (very fake), magnetic earrings were really big amongst school-age asian lads a few months back. Especially pink diamantes.

My lil bro had one and it was really funny because if ever my dad was in the hallway when he walked in wearing it he'd all of a sudden start walking sideways so my dad wouldn't see.
