So…what is the Monday Poll?
Well, it isn’t exactly a poll. It’s more of a constantly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past 10 (!) years. (It’s like a kickstart for your brain.) I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
HOLY CRAP! 500 Monday Polls.
This is the 500th one… That is totally blowing my mind right now.
1. Assuming you “went there,” what mascara are you wearing today?
Diorshor Pump’N’Volume, which is, admittedly, kind of gimmicky, and I never really use the pumping aspect, but it’s an overall pretty great mascara for curl and length, notwithstanding said gimmick. I’ve been using it a lot lately, and I’m liking it more and more every time.
I feel like a couple coats perks up my eyes and makes me look like I just had a shot of espresso.
2. When was the last time you hosted a dinner party?
Oh, I remember it like it was yesterday! The last time was, um…never?
Honestly, I haven’t done the dinner party thing because, while I think I’m a decent cook (I mean, I can follow a recipe), I don’t think I’m a good enough at it to have my food be the centerpiece of a shindig or get-together.
Mind you, I have hosted Thanksgivings before at our house (with the help of a pre-made T-day meal from Nugget Market), and I’ve made dinner for my parents and friends, but I’ve never really done a coordinated dinner party.
3. Would you fare better in a dance battle or a rap battle?
Well, right now I would suck at both. 🙂 But when I was getting my sweat on in hip-hop dance classes three times a week back in the day, I would’ve been able to hang in a dance battle… But I’ve lost all my moves, man.
It all started a few years ago… For years I gently poked fun of El Hub’s favorite dance move (he does this one-two-step move), and after years of teasing him about it, that goofing-off move of his must have permeated into my real dancing, and so now all I can do is dance like him…
Serves me right, LOL!
Anyway, if I had to choose…at this point, I’d choose the rap battle.
Not by much, though!
4. Where are you in the world right now?
Like Carmen San Diego?? 🙂 Right now I’m 28.4 miles north of San Francisco in the rural, hilly town of Novato, California, along with about 56,000 other peeps.
5. If you had the chance to go into space as a tourist, would you go?
Ooh, this is tough… I love the idea of space exploration, but I have a minor case of claustrophobia, and I think I’d have a huge issue with being on a space ship for any amount of time.
BONUS QUESTION >> What’s your favorite kind of soup?
Clam chowder! But not the red kind… Ewww. I like the white clam chowder, and I like the clams to already be out of the shell and chopped up.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

Fieran says
November 6th, 2017 at 7:24 amKaren! Congrats on 500 polls!
1. Assuming you “went there,” what mascara are you wearing today?
MAC’s In Extreme Dimension Waterproof. It’s quite clumpy though, so I’ve had to use a lash fan brush to paint it on so I don’t end up throwing the whole mascara away.
2. When was the last time you hosted a dinner party? A few months ago with two friends. It was really fun. We live in a glorified studio apartment while we wait for the apartment that we purchased to be built. So we only have enough space for 2-3 guests. We made a Risotto with Sage and Chestnut and our friends brought a traditional North Indian dessert known as Rasmalai.
3. Would you fare better in a dance battle or a rap battle?
I have two left feet. So I’ll pick rap battle. Though, I can’t sing for my supper either.
4. Where are you in the world right now?
Literally in the middle of Berlin, it’s actually called “Mitte” which means “Center”.
5. If you had the chance to go into space as a tourist, would you go?
Depends on who else is going 🙂 It might be fun with my husband and a nice group of friends. If it’s just me, I’m not sure.
BONUS QUESTION >> What’s your favorite kind of soup?
Potato soup with Chestnut, drizzled with a little bit of truffle oil. It’s heaven in a bowl. I could eat it every day if I had to.

Shannon says
November 6th, 2017 at 8:05 am1. Assuming you “went there,” what mascara are you wearing today?
I’m wearing Maybelline’s Colossal Bigshot Volum’ Express Mascara in Poppin’ Purple (from the Shayla collection). The mascara itself gives a pretty, feathered look… but the purple isn’t really delivering for me! Kind of a bummer. Oh well.
2. When was the last time you hosted a dinner party?
Hmmm…. I’m gonna count last year’s Christmas dinner, because we had a very small gathering with a couple friends. 🙂 It would be fun to have a non-holiday-related dinner party, though!!
3. Would you fare better in a dance battle or a rap battle?
Man…. probably… probably a rap battle. I’m pretty confident I’d suck at both options, though, lol!
4. Where are you in the world right now?
Newwww Yooork Cittyyyyy!! Sitting behind a somewhat-boring desk on the upper east side and gettin’ paid, lol.
5. If you had the chance to go into space as a tourist, would you go?

Hardest question ever!! Man… I really like Italian Wedding soup, but I also really like chowders (I make a leek and potato chowder with prosciutto that’s super delish). I think I’m gonna go with leek & potato chowder this time!
Jaclyn Levy says
November 6th, 2017 at 9:02 am1. I think Revelon, which was a good from a friend. ?
2. A couple years ago I invited my vegan friend and her husband over for dinner. I’m a wannabe vegan so I had a blast going all out making some good dishes!
3. I’d bomb both, unless the dance was the macarena.
4. About an hour West of the Smokey Mountains in East Tennessee! The trees here in Knoxville are really showing off this year for Fall. ❤
5. Hard pass. But my husband is convicted he’ll get to go to Mars someday.
BONUS QUESTION >> What’s your favorite kind of soup? Any veggie stew you can eat with a fork. Mmmm. Or Roasted Butternut Squash and Apple. YUM.

1. Assuming you “went there,” what mascara are you wearing today? YSL Faux Cils – of course!
2. When was the last time you hosted a dinner party? Oh, geesh, we’re not a very dinner party-y group. I don’t think I’ve ever hosted or even been to a formal dinner party. I do cook for all the holidays, but it’s just family. With my friends, we’re most often at the house of our Hostess with the Mostest, though we all pitch in with a dish or help to cook when we arrive. It’s a group effort. 🙂
3. Would you fare better in a dance battle or a rap battle? I would be equally horrific at both, but I’m probably a better rhymer than dancer.
4. Where are you in the world right now? Upstate NY on the border of Vermont and Quebec, Canada.
5. If you had the chance to go into space as a tourist, would you go? For sure.
BONUS QUESTION >> What’s your favorite kind of soup? French Onion and thank you for making me laugh about the Manhattan Clam Chowder. I don’t know who likes that either. I was a New England fan before the shellfish allergy. But, back then, I would have picked Lobster Bisque as my fave.
Lulle says
November 6th, 2017 at 10:32 am1. Assuming you “went there,” what mascara are you wearing today?
Not wearing mascara right now! I’m on week 2 of a 3-week fitness challenge so I’ve been working out every day, and I don’t feel like doing my makeup just to wipe it off a couple hours later.
2. When was the last time you hosted a dinner party?
Hmm that was a long time ago. Maybe a couple years!
3. Would you fare better in a dance battle or a rap battle?
I’d do poorly in both but the dance would be less mortifying.
4. Where are you in the world right now?
San Diego, at the bottom left corner of the US!
5. If you had the chance to go into space as a tourist, would you go?
I think so. I’d make sure to write a will before the launch though, lol!
BONUS QUESTION >> What’s your favorite kind of soup?
I like chicken noodle soup. I also love veggie soup that’s heavy on the leeks. I love most soups really!

Berlin, Germany.

2009 inauguration day (also my 23rd birthday) was the only real one I’ve done.
3. Would you fare better in a dance battle or a rap battle?

4. Where are you in the world right now?
Bloomington, Indiana, in a hilly valley just west of town.
5. If you had the chance to go into space as a tourist, would you go?

5. If you had the chance to go into space as a tourist, would you go? Yes!
BONUS QUESTION >> What’s your favorite kind of soup?

Karen says
November 6th, 2017 at 3:57 pmThank you for the recipe, Rachel! I’ve never tried making French onion at home, but the hubs loves it so I might give it a go for him.

Kate & Zena says
November 6th, 2017 at 2:37 pmWhoop whoop 500!
1. Assuming you “went there,” what mascara are you wearing today?
Uh, none at the moment. I’m still in pajamas. I had an upsetting day yesterday and I am completely and utterly exhausted today.
2. When was the last time you hosted a dinner party?
An actual dinner party and not a family dinner? YEARS, my friend, years.
3. Would you fare better in a dance battle or a rap battle?
Probably neither as I haven’t danced in years and I can’t rap for crap.
4. Where are you in the world right now?
In my home office in Kenosha, WI. It’s actually really nice to have an office space!
5. If you had the chance to go into space as a tourist, would you go?
Intergalactic space is amazing and I love seeing photos, but I wouldn’t fare well *in* space. Between small spaces and with studies showing how long periods in time in space causes the brain to go higher in the brain cavity (plus the eyeballs flatten from fluid build up = HEADACHES which I loathe), I would not be a good tourist. I’d be in pain all day and never get to enjoy it! I’ll leave the space travel for the healthy people.
BONUS QUESTION >> What’s your favorite kind of soup?
I dislike soup (I just don’t like deciding whether I have to sip or drink something), but I love the beef stew my mom makes. Yummy!
Karen says
November 6th, 2017 at 3:55 pmHi Kate,
I hope things were better for you today. Keep your chin up. 🙂

Maybelline Full n Soft. And my lashes are full and soft, huzzah!
2. When was the last time you hosted a dinner party?
Um, never? I’m more a potluck type of chick.
3. Would you fare better in a dance battle or a rap battle?
Dance battle! Even in my current out-of-shape state, I could probably throw down. As for rap, I’ve been advised not to. By experts. ?
4. Where are you in the world right now?
In the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia.
5. If you had the chance to go into space as a tourist, would you go?
No, no way, nope, nuh-uh, no thank you! Maybe I’ve watched “2001: A Space Odyssey” one too many times, but it seems like a LOT could go wrong.
BONUS QUESTION >> What’s your favorite kind of soup?
Homemade cheddar broccoli. Yum!
Karen says
November 6th, 2017 at 3:53 pmHey Susan,
I’m a huge fan of Full n Soft Waterproof mascara during the summer months. How long have you lived in Philadelphia, and does it annoy you when people call it Philly? It bugs me when people call San Francisco “Frisco.”
Happy Monday!
Susan C. says
November 6th, 2017 at 9:07 pmHi Karen!
Full ‘n Soft is my cheap ‘n lovely jam!
I moved from bucolic central New Jersey to the Philadelphia area in 2003. Having grown up frequently hearing the monikers “Fooladelphia” and “Filthadelphia”, I can safely say as a transplant that Philly is not a bad nickname. No, not bad at all. It’s a brand of cream cheese. It’s a type of soft pretzel. And Boyz II Men sing about it in a catchy little number. ?
Erin says
November 6th, 2017 at 4:14 pm1. Assuming you “went there,” what mascara are you wearing today?
Bare lashed today!
2. When was the last time you hosted a dinner party?

Since my ankle is broken, probably a rap battle!

5. If you had the chance to go into space as a tourist, would you go?
Maybe. I don’t like small spaces 🙁 but I LOVE space!

November 6th, 2017 at 4:26 pm1. Assuming you “went there,” what mascara are you wearing today? I’m wearing the IT Cosmetics one. The superhero something-or-other one. I like it!
2. When was the last time you hosted a dinner party? Never! But I live in a tiny apartment and no table, so…. it wouldn’t be very fun even though I do like to cook.
3. Would you fare better in a dance battle or a rap battle? Oh god. I would be terrible in either, but I guess rap would be verrrrrry slightly less embarrassing.
4. Where are you in the world right now? Tucson, AZ
5. If you had the chance to go into space as a tourist, would you go? Definitely! I think that would be such an amazing experience.
BONUS QUESTION >> What’s your favorite kind of soup? pozole… and it’s finally almost cool enough here to eat soup.
Gloria Yang says
November 6th, 2017 at 4:36 pm. Assuming you “went there,” what mascara are you wearing today?
The L’Oreal one in the pink tube. It’s not bad at all. Way better than this super pricey YSL mascara I’ve been trying to make work.
2. When was the last time you hosted a dinner party?
Maybe 7 or 8 years ago. I cooked curry for my buddies.
3. Would you fare better in a dance battle or a rap battle?
Neither, but I would lose worse in a rap battle than a dance battle. I’m with your El Hub on the 1-2 step.
4. Where are you in the world right now?
In LA. I did have a crazy weekend trip where I flew to Toronto for 10 hours.
5. If you had the chance to go into space as a tourist, would you go?
No, I would feel trapped inside the space shuttle. Thinking about it makes me anxious. Plus breathing and yea, no.
BONUS QUESTION >> What’s your favorite kind of soup?
Corn chowder! Actually, any type of corn soup. I love all soups except for the lame ones like minestrone or Manhattan clam chowder (that’s the clear type you don’t like). There’s a chain called Hale & Hearty that offers 15-20 different soups every day. I miss that spot! It doesn’t get cold enough for a soup spot in LA (gazpacho don’t count in my book).
Allison says
November 6th, 2017 at 8:32 pm1. Assuming you “went there,” what mascara are you wearing today? none!! Lately, I’ve been wearing MAC Upward Lash and I don’t need to curl my lashes, yay!
2. When was the last time you hosted a dinner party? The word “party” throws me. I guess I had a dinner party in June when my book club came over for dinner. Or in early July when we had several friends over for dinner.
3. Would you fare better in a dance battle or a rap battle? dance for sure
4. Where are you in the world right now? north of Boston
5. If you had the chance to go into space as a tourist, would you go? Saturn

November 6th, 2017 at 10:23 pm1. Assuming you “went there,” what mascara are you wearing today?
essence The False Lash Mascara. Drugstore find and tricky to wear, you have to take off a lot of the product with a tissue first and then can do no more than 1.5 coats before it starts clumping, but when you get it right it is a beauty.
2. When was the last time you hosted a dinner party?
Two months before my daughter was Born. To be fair, Mr. Loca did the cooking part, but still. Ever since I had kids… No. I mean, I´d have to clean the whole house before that and it is not Happening.
3. Would you fare better in a dance battle or a rap battle?
In a dance battle, but I wouldn´t exactly do well in either.
4. Where are you in the world right now?
The beautiful city of Heidelberg in Southern Germany, famous for it´s architecture, university and Castle.
5. If you had the chance to go into space as a tourist, would you go?
Immediately!
BONUS QUESTION >> What’s your favorite kind of soup?
I like white clam chowder as well, but we don´t really have it much, so I´ll go with potato soup.

Too Faced Better Than Sex. I keep buying the small size because it dries out faster than I’d like, but it’s still my all time fave.
2. When was the last time you hosted a dinner party?
We have people over for D&D almost every Sunday, and we always provide dinner! It may not be very formal but we’re usually cooking something yummy.
3. Would you fare better in a dance battle or a rap battle?
Maybe dance? I’m not great at either.
4. Where are you in the world right now?
Reno, Nevada, where fall is in full swing and it was frosty this morning!
5. If you had the chance to go into space as a tourist, would you go?
Probably not, I’m such a homebody and I think my motion sickness would really make it a horrible trip!

Cauliflower leek. Yummmm.

2. When was the last time you hosted a dinner party? I don’t think I have ever hosted one, to be honest. Lots of showers and parties, but never strictly a sinner party.

4. Where are you in the world right now? The Texas Panhandle. I live in a small town near Amarillo.
5. If you had the chance to go into space as a tourist, would you go? I want to say yes, but I think I would have a panic attack stuck in the ship and not being able to get outside or you know, use gravity and walk around.
BONUS QUESTION >> What’s your favorite kind of soup? Creamy potato with cheese, bacon and chives. I made some last night. 🙂
