I have to give it to this girl, she opted for tape rather than going under the knife. It's just unfortunate that her secret was caught on film and subsequently all over the internet. I did try to do the nice thing by blurring out her eyes. There is a woman that my friend and I call "Candy Apples" because her name is Candy, is pick thin and has enormously fake breasts. Down here there are lots of fake... nails, hair colour, body parts, tans, and diamonds. The killer combo that makes my skin crawl is acrylic nails, orange tan and platinum blonde hair. Add fake animal print fur to personify tacky.
I'm not completely anti-fake. I have my dentist and bleaching trays to thank for my pearly whites. I also have been known to eat ice cream that isn't made from the purest ingredients. But I don't like hotdogs more than once a year and I really don't like fake nails (did I already say that?) I think I just don't like long nails, real or fake.
Fake, fake, fake. What's your favourite fake?

I have to agree that I find long fingernails creepy real or fake. I think the route of it stem from an innate gut feeling that it render peoples hands useless to daily functions. whether this is true or not i am sure is debatable, but they still creep me out.
yes long fingernails are creepy.
it's usually because the owners of these fingernails possess other creepy attritubes, like cakey make-up over wrinkled tanned skin, huge stiff hair, and an annoying habit of clicking their nails together or tapping things with their nails all the time. it seems like the people that have these ridiculously long nails don't like to keep them a secret.
I must admit, I am a recovering fake nail wearer. I had fake nails for a while so that I could grow out my nail bed because I was a habitual nailbiter my entire life (I would get comments about my stubs because the nails were freakishly short - the distance from my nail to the end of my finger was longer than the actual nail.) That being said, I HATED having the fake nails. As soon as my nail bed was grown out, those puppies came off.
I don't mind fake hair if it just the color of the hair we are talking about. Toupee's are an entirely different breed.
I agree on the nails, I saw a lady in London last year that had freekishly long nails they where real though, long and crooked/curly she had an assistant with her to do things for her. She was also very thin with wrinkled tanned skin and a fancy hairdo that she could not possibly have done herself. She had on a dress with at least 20 gold buttons and I kept thinking that she must not do a single thing herself. Also men with long fingernails freek me out, my favorite fake is lips I think, that just never looks good.
hey, is the girl in red freaking rebecca from full house, laurie laughlin or something? i totally looks like her.
my favorite fake, are fake compliments.
that looks so cute on you. women do it all the time.
long nails do indeed interfere with daily functions. when i have gotten lazy and haven't clipped for a week i find them extremely irritating (and they aren't even that long). it's like those huge diamonds that are put on high settings. those things must snag on everything in site.
fake lips... gross, alon with the inability to make facial expressions (botox anyone?)
mr. clark, i'm pretty darn sure it's not ms. ex-fullhouse. and you've brought up an interesting social issue... why do you think women are more prone to the fake compliment over men? are we socialized to play nice and don't want to hurt feelings?
That pic made my day. Like the chick needs to tape her boobs...she's got a huge poitrine anyway!
aislinn,
i think it's an outgrowth of how genders socialize. men call each other "stud" or "hoss" and emphasize masculine traits. where as women compliment, support, encourage. base functionality of communication at its finest.
I was sitting in a nails shop on Friday waiting for a friend to get a manicure. While I was sitting there for 15 minutes, I realized there's a reason I've had a pedi, but never a mani. Nails freak me out a little. The sound of filing nails down, unnerves me, and I was uneasy the whole time surrounded by people getting their nails done.
i've always associated the french manicure with women who aren't very choosey with their sexual partners.
Whoa whoa whoa. Where the hell did y'all get these sketchy ideas about the french manicured??? Promiscuous? Bitchy? How about clean and classy? If we were talking about bright red talons with dangly charms, I might agree, but come on.
I may be a little bitchy at times, (ahem) but I can certainly use discernment in choosing whom I spend my time with...
the fake nails that really gross me out are the ones you were referring to lindz (and acrylics). i am not a fan of the french manicure on acrylics, but they can be pretty on real nails. i just never have my nails long enough to do it... and my nails feel claustrophobic with paint on them. i had a french manicure only once for my brother's wedding and my sister can remember what a pain in the ass i was when i got my first and only manicure. (i love, love, love pedicures)
dagga, enjoy the concert!
favorite fakes:
fake fur
fake butter (Earth Balance, baby)
trompe l'oeil ceilings
prank calls
:)
tromple l'oeil? I gotta look that up. earth balance is good stuff.
trompe l'oeil if done well is amazing, but if done bad it is just wrong.
Carob (sp?) is up there on my "favorite" fakes. Why even try to replace chocolate?
i bought some organic canola magerine from trader joes and its off the effing hEEEEzy.
i like the idea of butter, but the old man in me likes the presentation of margerine.
i associate the french manicure with trailer trash and strippers.
usually it's one in the same.
My favorite fake is a girl named Lindsey that I went to high school with. By the time we graduated, she had fake "apples" as you called them, nails, tan, hair color, bleached teeth, and she had her gums shaved so that her teeth looked bigger. And she had the fake personality, of the "that looks so cute on you" variety, to go with it.
