Well it all refers to an expert website. Those are ideas for people who want to know without having an expensive appointment to diffently know what shade of red looks the best.

Unimatrix hasn't been banned, so I see no reason why anyone else should be banned. Okay, maybe a few reasons.

How can you tell if you're a winter/summer so on so forth? I think I might be a winter.

Duane, the best way is to have someone drape you.

Is anyone else deeply distressed by Catch's bum in the last video? Personally I think it was unnecessary.

I concur with the Lady Christine. Having Miss Catch's posterior suddenly looming large in the frame was a rather unpleasant surprise.

I meant 'large' in relation to the image. It was not meant to be a commentary on Catch's figure.

You can insult Catch all you want, but just be careful, she's not the only fat ass on this board.

Oh, that's rich. Okay, sure, everyone on the forum should be banned except you. Then G-net can be like another one of your retarded blogs.

I've been a member of many forums prior to this one and there always seem to be one 'Special' member, with some 'Special' talents, they want to show of in their own 'Special' way.
But this 'Special' little lady takes the cake.

Maybe some people on the forum dress okay already, but others need help. This is a nice way to assist in improving a person's look without passing judgement.
Others need help? This is NOT for you to decide. It is blatant that you are incapable of dressing yourself in such a way as to look nice, I hardly think you are in any position to decide that others need help.

No one is asking for fashion advice from you. If there were a thread containing such questions, specifically directed at you, then I could possibly understand why you would give such advice, horrendously bad as it may be. BUT NO ONE HAS.

If you don't like what someone is wearing ,fine but to make a video telling people how to dress because you feel you know this much about fashion and must save them, espescially considering your own immense "fashion" mistakes, is not only presumptious but downright laughable.

Now:

That green printed sleeveless top you have on in some of those pictures? Would not look out of place on a 50 year old office administrator. The neckline is extremely unflattering and the sleveless style is a BAD idea for someone of your shape with those arms. The whole top makes you look broader than you most likely are, and the colour and print also does not suit you.

That is my opinion yes? But am I for example, going to tell you to start pairing a 3/4 sleeve gypsy style top with a short waistcoat because I think it looks nice? NO. And nor would I advise anyone to do so .

DO YOU have any fashion based qualifications Catch? Do you have anything that respectively allows you to decide that people need your so called help? If the answer to this question is no, then for fucks sake STOP EMBARRASSING YOURSELF!

Despite giving bad advice, I guess this is a good way to kill time.

First look at the shadow of you skin. Beige looks kind of yellow. Olive looks kind of green. Ivory looks kind of peach or orange. Golden, warm beige is like a golden yellow.

Color theory divides the spectrum of colors based on warm and cool. Warm leans towards red, while cool leans towards blue. Biege is used often, because it is neutral. It is either warm or cool. Sallow Biege is a cool yellow. warm beige is a warm yellow. Olive is associated to green, which is the coolest skin tone. Peach and ivory are the warmest. No one is ever red or blue.

This variation determines what colors looks best on a person. Cooler tone demand darker colors or warm tones. Autumn and Winter have "olive" in the list for skin tone. Autumn is more neutral. Spring and Summer have ivory and pink beige. Summer is more neutral. With all of the things in mind, some colors look better on a person, though reds, blues and greens look good on everyone. The tint is what matters. Then there are promient colors: yellow, orange and violet that help define a person's season.

The tip in the blog is to buy something inexpensive and wear it around. If people have a negative response, eliminate that season. If they give you a compliment, then that could be your season. However, both spring and autumn have many shades of yellow and orange. The defining factor is the color black.

I'm a spring. Black has a draining affect. Felt compelled to write this blog because so many people don't even think about it. Determined that I should write it watching America's Next Top Model. Celia looked so young when she had mousy brown hair. Then they change it to a neutral blond. It aged her a few years. She made it to fourth place, but she looked old. I think she was a summer; therefore, dying her hair a deeper chestnut brown or strawberry blond would have been much better for her complextion.

Think I reversed something in the last post, summer and winter are more neutral. Read the website.
