dcbee - I considered doing the sleeve-pocket thing with this one since I was going to have to do something with them to make it long enough but it didn't seem to work too well. I tried tucking them in to see how it would work and it just made it weirdly shaped...maybe you'll have better luck than I did.
I'm new to these parts-- I found this board whilst stumbling around trying to find more info about being a volunteer at 'roo.
I'm glad I found this thread, tho-- I just bought a dress that I am in love with that I thought would be *quite* perfect for 'roo. I've tried to show it to my husband, but... well, he's male, so I didn't get the reaction I was looking for. So, here it is, let me know if it's roo appropriate.
this dress is SO cute! The only thing that worries me for roo is that it's such a light color - even if you throw a blanket down before you sit, there's a good chance that the blanket will get a layer of dust on it

That's exactly what I was going to say. I love, love, love the dress. I could wear it about a zillion places in a summer. But I doubt I'd bring it to the 'roo. Knowing me, I'd fall in a trough-water puddle, have something unpleasant accidentally touch it in a porta-potty or walk into someone carrying a soft drink. Light colors are worrisome, I'm afraid. But it is a gorgeous dress! Buy it anyway.
Watchin' a stretch of road, miles of light explode. Driftin' off a thing I'd never done before. Watchin' a crowd roll in. Out go the lights it begins. A feelin' in my bones I've never felt before...

hey girls i just stumbled across this site, it's basically a collection of some online coupon codes for major retailers. I haven't tried it yet, but if someone is making an online order, there's no harm in trying

Check 'em all. No one site has all the discounts. BTW, here's a Delia's code for 20% off. Still valid, because I just used it five seconds ago! SPRBRK
It works on discounted merchandist, so cruise the clearance section. Sparklybecca, didn't you say you were buying this dress? I'm afraid that I did, too. It's just too cute! Delia's dress day? ;D
The first "me" purchase though is some new makeup! I'm going to the MAC counter to re-up, and I'm going to get a few things from sephora!
;D
Oh good lord, I could spend my life savings at Sephora and MAC...I <3 their makeup. I love MAC especially...it's the only moisturizer I'll ever put on my face, and the only one that I don't break out when I wear. Sephora is just...fun! I <3 it too! I bought all my dance team makeup there in one sitting...I spent about $90. The girls all harassed me though because I bought $19 glitter. Hey...what's a girl to do? haha!

YAY I HAVE A TARGET DRESS TWIN! We will be the most adorable chicas at Roo. Or at least, the most adorable chicas who aren't on stage...I don't think I can compete with Jenny Lewis or Marketa Irglova.
I just got back from Sephora. I used to make fun of my friends for spending so much money there, but now I'm addicted. The Philosophy brand is amazing... I use their face products and the Amazing grace fragrance. Great stuff. As I was walking in Sephora, the lady walking in front of me suddenly turned around walked out. As she passed me, she said "I always spend too much money in there". True dat.
I also went to Target but would not allow myself to look at the clothes. I've already been twice this week. This thread has caused the shopaholic in me to come out... and I never even knew it was there!!

i got this sweet dress from Walmart last night, for $15. ;D I love it. I can even go braless, which is unusual for me. not sure if i'll bring it to Roo though...
Walmart had a bunch of other cute ones for $15, too. There was one that felt like heaven, it was so soft. The only reason I didn't get it is 'cause they only had it in pink, and i'm not really into pink.

Has anyone else used this stuff...?? When I used it it really didnt work to well. But then again I probably didnt do it right (which I dont doubt.)
I tried it once but didn't work well for me either. Not sure if I did it right or not, but wasn't what I expected.
same with me. i tried it and it didn't work like i expected. i stick with shaving.. and if i'm feeling like hair removal cream i just stick with Nair.. even though it smells like death.

I'm allergic to any of that stuff...if I try to put it on my legs, I itch like CRAZY and wind up practically clawing my skin off
Which would be better to use before Roo: shaving or Nair? I really don't want to bother shaving or using Nair while I'm there... which keeps you smooth the longest??? I've used Nair before and it keeps (the parts of me that it actually removes the hair from) me relatively smooth for a few days. Just curious if anyone has any advice on this?
For me, I don't think Nair or Veet is worth it, because it burns and smells awful and is basically yucky. Shaving might grow back a tad quicker, but who cares if its simpler? Also, if your hair is at all thick or coarse, Nair and the like usually won't get to the root, so you'll have 5 o'clock shadow anyway.
I say, wax before Roo. Yeah, hurts a little, but its over quick and then you're super smooth. If you can't and/or won't wax, just get in a thorough shave beforehand (complete with pre-shaving exfoliation so its extra close) and then don't worry about it. Or if all else fails, there's always a razor and a bottle of water on Saturday.
