Wacky Laki: Sheer Tints by OPI, paint over white on black stamping! Over stamping - A stamped white rose with no Sheer Tints on nail 3 and the same rose topped with Be Magentale with Me on nail 4. This is my favorite use of the Sheer Tints because there are not many light colors that will stamp well over black and this gets the same result without having to purchase specialty stamping polishes.

She opened up Minecraft, A Kingdom for Keflings, Apples To Applesâ„¢, Castle Crashers, Carcassonne, Diablo III on 360, and before I even realized it, she was finished and I was sad.

Doing this – fucking the programming – is actually really freeing. It means I can stand up at a reading and give a performance in a loud, snarky voice. It means I can sit on and moderate panels without fear. Because I know how fat shaming works. I know that if somebody wanted to try and shame me using the “fat” call-out, the same person would say that whether I was 70lbs lighter or 70lbs heavier.
