I don’t know about you, but I’m so glad it’s Friday. Work wore me out!
Speaking of Friday…
- Would you rather give up concealer or give up blush? YOU MUST CHOOSE!
- Doomsday approaches… Aliens have landed, and they’re toying with us all. To save the world, you’re told to either make out with Ben Affleck or Matt Damon. YOU MUST CHOOSE!
- Would you rather be missing every other tooth (jack o’ lantern style) or have hands that are totally covered in fur (palms included)? And, no, you can’t wear dentures or shave/wax your hands. YOU MUST CHOOSE!
- You’re forced to spend 72 hours alone in a dark closet with either Heidi Montag or Spencer Pratt. YOU MUST CHOOSE!
- The supernatural world beckons; you must answer the call. Would you rather be a werewolf or a vampire? YOU MUST CHOOSE!
- Whom would you most want to have a cup of coffee with (living or deceased)? YOU MUST CHOOSE!
- You *finally* land your dream job as an (insert dream job here)! Turns out, though, that a new company policy requires you to wear a uniform to work. You’re given two choices:
1. The black spandex unitard (complete with red boots, leather jacket and thick gold chain) featured in Salt n’ Pepa’s Push It video:
2. Hammer pants:
YOU MUST CHOOSE!
Your turn. Just copy the list below and paste it with your answers in the comments. 🙂
YMC 1: Concealer or blush?
YMC 2: Ben or Matt?
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands?
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer?
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire?
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with?
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

August 1st, 2008 at 11:14 amYMC 1: Concealer or blush? Oh gawd! This would kill me. Probably blush. Really, my dark circles are certainly more frightening than pale cheeks. And I suppose I could just substitute blush with bronzer… but giving up MAC Dollymix would bring a tear or two to my eye, I can’t lie.
YMC 2: Ben or Matt? MATT! I don’t trust Ben’s beady, beady eyes.
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands? Hairy hands.
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer? Hmm. Both would impart equal mental pain. Heidi, I suppose. Maybe I can be her intervention and save her from herself.
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire? Vampire. They wear cooler clothes and have better technology.
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? Mother Teresa
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants? (professional money spender/novelist); Unitard. Hammer pants decrease my mobility; you never know when you must execute a high kick.
Amanda says
August 1st, 2008 at 11:21 amEiiieeii-great way to spend a lunch break on Friday! 🙂 here ya go.
YMC 1: Concealer or blush? blush
YMC 2: Ben or Matt? oooh tough choice, love em both. Ben
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands? hairy hands, ya know we are both “teeth” people
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer? easy-Heidi, at least I would be entertained instead of pissed off
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire? wow, umm werewolf.
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? another toughie. too many choices. I guess I’ll say Natalie Maines from the Dixie Chicks
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants? dream job, owning a wedding venue-and hammer pants. they look non-binding and i love me some comfty pants.
Karen says
August 1st, 2008 at 11:24 amLOL Amanda! Did you have braces when you were a kid? I suspect that’s my reason for being so weird about my teeth.
Elle says
August 1st, 2008 at 11:24 amMan, this is tough!
YMC 1: Concealer or blush? I’d rather give up blush, thanks to the dark circles I have to cover up.
YMC 2: Ben or Matt? Matt, hands down. The Will Hunting/Jason Bourne combo is too good to turn down.
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands? Hairy hands.
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer? Heidi, with one condition–no singing on her part.
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire? Vampire! The whole undead thing would be kinda cool. Plus I really liked the Anne Rice books.
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? I would go the noble route and pick someone cool and important, but since I’m feeling shallow today: Alan Cumming. You know he’d be fun to hang out with.
YMC 7: (musician); Unitard or Hammer Pants? Hammer Pants. A bit more breathability. 😉
Tekoa says
August 1st, 2008 at 11:29 amYMC 1: Concealer or blush? Concealer. Don’t use it.
YMC 2: Ben or Matt? Matt! Mmmm….and if my fiance objects I’ll say that the fate of the free world hangs in the balance.
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands? Hairy hands. My worst nightmares are of my teeth becoming loose and falling out. *shutters*
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer? Heidi. Theoretically we could talk about makeup.
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire? Werewolf man! I always wanted the ability to turn into animals. Wolf works for me.
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? Jesus. I’d ask him personal questions like if he had acne as a teenager.
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants? Hammer Pants. Ugg! They’re theoretically salvagable with the right top.
Karen says
August 1st, 2008 at 11:35 amHi Elle,
Oh, good call on the Heidi vocal ban.
Do you play any instruments/sing?
Karen says
August 1st, 2008 at 11:35 amHi Tekoa,
I have those dreams, too. They’re really scary!
Laurie says
August 1st, 2008 at 11:40 amSome of these are really tough!
YMC 1: blush
YMC 2: Matt! (This one’s easy although I wouldn’t turn Ben away either)
YMC 3: hairy hands (I can wear gloves right?!)
YMC 4: Heidi
YMC 5: vampire (which is ironic, conisdering I choose hairy hands!)
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with my grandpa. He passed in 2004.
YMC 7: Dream job: Samantha Brown’s job for travel channel! Hammer Pants (they seem more travel-friendly!)
Lauries last blog post..Female Trouble
Glosslizard says
August 1st, 2008 at 12:10 pmYMC 1: Concealer or blush? Concealer, I flatter myself that I don’t need it that much. Give me 10 years and I’ll probably change my answer! LOL!
YMC 2: Ben or Matt? Matt. Jason Bourne wins it for me too!
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands? Hairy hands, no yokel smile for me! Besides, I could rock the gloves!
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer? Heidi, and a roll of duct tape just in case!
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire? Vampire, let’s go with immortal goth! Although, I have to admit, the choice would depend heavily on which book/movie versions we’re talking….
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? Mike Myers!
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants? I’d love to be a makeup artist/consultant, so the unitard might not even look that much out of line! 😉
hazeldazel says
August 1st, 2008 at 12:17 pm1. Blush for my round face
2. Matt, is it just me or did Ben go seriously wierd?
3. Hairy hands
4. Heidi. She doesn’t have to talk does she?
5. Vampire and hope to gawd I don’t end up like Nosferatu
6. Eddie Izzard 😀
7. Hammer pants – comfort quotient
Tammy says
August 1st, 2008 at 12:18 pmYMC 1: Concealer or blush? No blush…I have some serious dark circles and I still have an ‘acne’ problem so I much rather cover those up then have the I just ran a marathon glow..
YMC 2: Ben or Matt? Ben..I really don’t know why though..lol
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands? Jack o’ lantern teeth..I just wouldn’t smile showing my teeth…
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer? Spencer’s flesh goatee freaks me out so Heidi it is
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire? Vampire!! No doubt..they’re just cool
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? Lucille Ball (celebrity) My grandfather who is deceased (my personal super star)
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants? Book Editor; Unitard–it would force me to keep going to the gym. haha
I love these You Must Choose!! Have a nice weekend!
Tammys last blog post..How do you make yourself feel like a princess..?
Butta says
August 1st, 2008 at 12:29 pmHa! This is hilarious…
YMC 1: Blush
YMC 2: Matt
YMC 3: Hairy hands
YMC 4: Heidi
YMC 5: Werewolf, then the hairy hands would make sense.
YMC 6: Oprah, and hopefully she’d pay.
YMC 7: Bestselling author; Unitard doesn’t sound too bad for me. It would definitely be a draw at book signings.
Seymone says
August 1st, 2008 at 12:33 pmYMC 1: Concealer or blush? I would give up concealor because I could use a blush to cover up darkness undereye…
YMC 2: Ben or Matt? I would make out with Ben Affleck. There is something cute about him.
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands? I would say hairy hands because I could buy some fierce leather gloves.
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer? I choose Spencer. Heidi is annoying.
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire?I would be rather be a vampire. Vampires are sexy.. I could do the smokey eye look at anytime during the day.
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? Damn this is a toughie.. I would say Oprah.
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants? I am the new makeup artist for fashion week in NY and Milan and my uniform of choice would be hammerpants. The right top would make this all work
Seymones last blog post..I Have Been Hoodwinked, Bambozzled and I Am Mad as Hell!!!
Brittany says
August 1st, 2008 at 12:33 pmYMC 1: Concealer or blush? Hmmm…well, I think I could give up concealer. I love blush. A lot. It just makes me look so much better.
YMC 2: Ben or Matt? Definitely Matt. Something about Ben just weirds me out. Plus, I don’t find him very attractive.
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands? Hairy hands. I’d rock gloves like nobody’s business. I’d bring back the 80’s 😛
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer? Spencer is the biggest douche in the world, so I have to go with Heidi. As long as she didn’t start singing, I’d probably be ok!
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire? Vampire. I could still blend in with the rest of the world if I had to 🙂
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? Right now, my mom. I haven’t seen her in about 2 months. I know that’s not the best answer ever, but I just miss her.
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants? Hmm..something makeup related, like a pro makeup artist…and I guess, I’d go with Hammer pants. They’re probably pretty comfortable. lol!
Loni says
August 1st, 2008 at 1:27 pmYMC 1: Concealer or blush?– I’d ditch the blush for sure. NARS Orgasm will not cover up a pimple, so don’t even try.
YMC 2: Ben or Matt?– If it was about dating, I’d choose Matt, hands-down. But just for making out??? I’m gonna hafta go with Ben on this one. If it’s good enough for Jennifer Garner, it’s good enough for me.
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands?– Hairy hands. No question.
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer?– Ugh, I hate that Spencer. Heidi is the lesser of two evils.
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire?– Werewolf! Because you only have to be a “monster” a few days a month, which I’m already pretty used to. The rest of the time, you can do what you like.
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with?– Conan O’Brien
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants? The dream job is world-famous, millionaire playwright. The uniform is unitard. I have worn one before, and they’re surprisingly comfortable.
Lisa says
August 1st, 2008 at 2:08 pmYMC 1: Concealer or blush?
Who needs blush when you can artfully apply concealer? Bye-bye blush.
YMC 2: Ben or Matt?
Matt. Its the Bourne Choice.
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands?
Hairy hands. I can wear lovely gloves, and nobody would know.
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer?
I guess Heidi.
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire?
Werewolf. If I already have hairy hands, I just do the whole hairy thing.
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with?
My Mom. She has been gone nearly six years, and I miss her every day. Just one more cup of coffee would be a gift.
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants?
“Can’t Touch This” Hammer Pants!! I think it would liven up the courtroom.
Ale says
August 1st, 2008 at 2:19 pmYMC 1: Concealer
YMC 2: Matt
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth
YMC 4: Heidi
YMC 5: Werewolf
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with much cream and sugar
YMC 7: getting paid to do nothing; Hammer
meimei says
August 1st, 2008 at 2:25 pmYMC 1: Blush – I’ve been too lazy to wear it lately!
YMC 2: DEFINITELY Matt Damon. Always loved him better. And considering how much my Mom loved Good Will Hunting, he’d be great to take home to the ‘rents!
YMC 3: Hairy hands. Always was a glove kinda gal.
YMC 4: Heidi. But if I’m forced to make out with her, I’d wish the jack-o-lantern teeth on her first.
YMC 5: A vampire… as long as I get to hang out with vamps as cool as the ones that Anne Rice or MaryJanice Davidson always writes about
YMC 6: Gosh, I have a loooooong list for that. Right now, though, I wish it was my friend D., who’s in Hell-Ay right now.
YMC 7: I can deal with the Unitard. And the dream job would be working as an editor at a publishing company where having coffee with amazing authors is part of my job.

cynthia says
August 1st, 2008 at 2:44 pmYMC 1: Concealer or blush? I would give up blush. I have high cheek bones and dark circles, so what do you think.
YMC 2: Ben or Matt? Make out with Ben. He seems like he would be more into the sisters.
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands? Hairy hands because I can keep my hands in my pocket and when the winter comes it’ll keep me warm
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer? I choose Heidi she may not be so bad without Spencer. Besides if I chose Spencer I would probably kill myself after 5 minutes
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire? Vampire,they’re sexy. I would have a killer wardrobe
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? Barack Obama. Yes We Can!!!!!!!!!!!
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants? Unitard. I wore hammer pants as a kid and I swore I would NEVER do it again.
Elle says
August 1st, 2008 at 2:51 pmHey Karen!
I do play a few instruments–started out with piano then learned
violin, and then was a big ol’ band geek and played the sax. I’m trying to teach myself the guitar, but it’s tough! I can sing too–I’m decent, not great–but it would be awesome to make a living as a musician! Some of my friends are musicians and while it’s pretty tough they do love what they do. Sigh, someday 😉
okyanus says
August 1st, 2008 at 3:01 pmYMC 1: Concealer or blush?
YMC 2: Ben or Matt? Matt
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands? hairy hands…perhaps a depilatory cream or an epilator? OR laser hair removal–the greatest invention ever!
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer? Heidi, she’s probably less annoying and pompous/arrogant. I’m sure she could amuse me for a while.
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire? Vampire
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? Marilyn Monroe. I could use a few tips from the most gorgeous woman to live.
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants? (writer); Unitard–of course I’d have to up my workout routine but it would be just the motivation I need to do so
okyanus says
August 1st, 2008 at 3:03 pmYMC 1: Concealer or blush? Blush; concealer is a necessity
Karen says
August 1st, 2008 at 3:07 pmHi Laurie,
I love Samantha Brown, too! Have you watched her Passport to Latin America series?
Karen says
August 1st, 2008 at 3:08 pmHi Glosslizard,
You’d so rock that unitard. And if anybody messed with you, you could just bust out some martial arts moves! 🙂
Karen says
August 1st, 2008 at 3:08 pmHi Hazeldazel,
LOL, I’m afraid you will have to converse with her in the closet!
Karen says
August 1st, 2008 at 3:08 pmHi Tammy,
You have a good weekend too. 🙂
Karen says
August 1st, 2008 at 3:08 pmHi Butta,
Yeah, Oprah better pay for that latte!
Don’t forget to invite me to the book party when you make it big.
Karen says
August 1st, 2008 at 3:08 pmHi Seymone,
The Hammer pants seem to be getting a lot of love today! You’re totally right — a good top will make it work.
Karen says
August 1st, 2008 at 3:08 pmHi Brittany,
I loves me some blush, too. They are my major weakness. However, seriously, I rock the UNDEAD look like nobody’s business when I don’t wear concealer. It’s quite frightening.
Ben freaks me out, big time!
Karen says
August 1st, 2008 at 3:08 pmHi Loni,
I have to give you props for rocking the unitard. I’ve never had to wear one, but I suspect the stretchiness is quite comfortable. 🙂
Karen says
August 1st, 2008 at 3:09 pmHi Lisa,
You’d so rock the courtroom in those pants. They’d have to be really obnoxious, though. I’m thinking gold lame, or perhaps sequins?
Karen says
August 1st, 2008 at 3:09 pmHi Ale,
Ha! I like your idea of dream job!
Karen says
August 1st, 2008 at 3:09 pmHi Meimei,
Are you in the publishing business? Dunno if you already know this, but Big Apple Tuttle Mori has offices located in Honolulu…
Karen says
August 1st, 2008 at 3:12 pmHi Cynthia,
LOL, did you grow up in the 80s/early 90s, too?
Karen says
August 1st, 2008 at 3:21 pmHi Elle,
I was a big ole band geek, too, back in the day. It didn’t occur to me that marching around on a field with an instrument was kinda dorky until three years ago. It was like a sudden bold of lightning hit me, too, when I realized it, and I actually had to call my best friend, Jen, when the revelation hit me (“We walked around on a field with instruments and uniforms and we were being SERIOUS!”), ha ha ha!
But yah, I’d love to be a musician, too. In a parallel universe I think I’d be in an orchestra as a flute player, or as a singer in a piano bar.
Did you play alto sax? The other day I was listening to the Duran Duran’s greatest hits album, and it hit me that the alto sax solo virtually disappeared in pop music after the 80s. Ahh, good times.
Karen says
August 1st, 2008 at 3:21 pmHi Okyanus,
Good call on Marilyn. I’d like to ask her how she really felt about being famous.
I’d probably end up causing Spencer bodily harm if I was stuck with him in a closet.
What kind of writer would you like to be?
Rachel says
August 1st, 2008 at 3:22 pmYMC 1: Concealer or blush? blush, i don’t use it too often
YMC 2: Ben or Matt? mmmmm matt
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands? hairy hands, i like the glove idea.
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer? i’ll be honest, i don’t know who they are :\
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire? vampire! i’m actually from transylvania :]
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? cbale would be nice, but i think i’ll go with my grandpa, i never knew him.
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants? dream job would be a painter, i guess i’ll go with the unitard, would say it fits the “artist” look better, haha
Karen says
August 1st, 2008 at 3:36 pmHi Rachel,
So true — the unitard screams “painter.” I’m thinking we’d have to get you a beret, though, to complete the artsy look.
LOLAlaPISTOLA says
August 1st, 2008 at 4:35 pmLove your blog, I’m from the bay too! Love how you say HELLA 😉
okis here are my choices
YMC 1: Concealer or blush? CONCEALER! I can always pinch my cheeks!!

YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer?
Can I bang my head on the closet door until a give myself a concussion? hahhah… no but seriously Hiedi. She seems like she has NO opinion on anything and would just pick at her split ends… or if worse comes to worse. I can take ‘er down. One punch to the face 😡
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire?
I alwys thought vampires were sexy.
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with?
Gael Garcia Bernal. rawr 😉
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants?
Unitard… hands down.
lollipop says
August 1st, 2008 at 5:00 pmYMC 1: Concealer or blush?
Concealer, there’s nothing better than glowy healthy cheeks, besides, it covers a bigger portion of your face 🙂
YMC 2: Ben or Matt?
Matt, dude, they guy Ben is married, not interested in being a 3rd party 🙂
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands?

YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants?
ionno what they are :S but i’ll choose whatever is the most comfy
okyanus says
August 1st, 2008 at 5:15 pmI’d really like to be a novelist but I writing articles for magazines (and possibly newspapers) is also something that interests me–I could do both of them but my main focus would be novels. I have been working on a novel but I felt it wasn’t living up to the way I had planned so I gave it a break, but I’m eager to get back to it and steer it in the right direction. As far as magazine articles, I thought the best sort of experience for this would be to pick a topic(eg., social issues that challenge young girls), research it and write an article that could be featured in a magazine and then just send it to a few magazines to see who would be interested in publishing it. Does this seem plausible? I know you have some experience with this arena 🙂
ines says
August 1st, 2008 at 5:48 pmhi karen! hope you’re weekend is filled with much makeup fun! i love these YMC columns, i especially like doing them at work with my morning cup of coffee!
YMC 1: Concealer or blush? blush. i would rather look like a member of the living dead rather (which looks cooler with MAC russian red) than have to give up concealer (but keep the glowy blush) that would hide my perpetual dark circles (too many late nights partying at shady salsatecas cubanas) – no concealer, no blush anyway!
YMC 2: Ben or Matt? ben! matt has always looked kind of juvenile to me!
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands? mmm this is a very very tough one… i’ll have to go with the hairy hands, i have this phobia of losing my teeth, so that would be my worst nightmare confirmed!
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer? eh, heidi? i don’t even know who this spencer guy is.
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire? vampire! i can make MAC russian red/dubonnet and lancome jezebel (a deep, black rose-red) my permanent look!
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? second on gael garcia bernal… or on second thought, an unattached, unmarried, SINGLE antonio banderas (a la once upon a time in mexico/take the lead)… DROOL at both.
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants? dream job – fabulously succesful restauranteur (i.e. you can’t get a reservation, ever!) who is also a pro ballroom dancer! i’ll take the unitard, it’s better for movement.
Hannah says
August 1st, 2008 at 7:37 pmYMC 1: Concealer or blush? I’d give up concealer..don’t really have dark circles!
YMC 2: Ben or Matt? Easily Ben, Matt is kind of ugly in my eyes.
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands? Hairy hands. I don’t know how I’d give up eating solid food.
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer? Hmm..hard one but I have to say Spencer çause I would enjoy punching him in the nose immensely.
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire? Vampire.
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? Probably the young version of Axl Rose from Guns ‘N Roses…then again I wouldn’t mind Freddie Mercury or Mick Jagger..
YMC 7: (runway makeup artist); Unitard or Hammer Pants? Unitard. At least I won’t look like half of a hot air ballon.
Miss QQ says
August 1st, 2008 at 7:49 pmYMC 1: Concealer or blush? Blusher. I cannot live without my concealer. My dark circles are perennial.
YMC 2: Ben or Matt? Matt. I sort of like Matt Damon ever since I first saw him on screen. Ben – NO.
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands? Hairy hands. At least I can speak.
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer? Heidi.
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire? Vampire. Kind of fun to be The Count.
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? Coco Mademoiselle.
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants? Professional Critique (on everything and anything). Oh man… this is tough. I hate both of them but I choose Unitard for the same reason. I don’t think I can move much in Hammer Pants.
Marisol says
August 1st, 2008 at 7:53 pmYMC 1: Concealer or blush? Blush… I can pinch my cheeks to get some color or use some Benetint but I can’t do anything else to cover imperfections.
YMC 2: Ben or Matt? I am ^%$#@!* Matt Damon.
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands? Hairy hands
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer? Heidi because she would have the better closet.
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire? Vampires… Brad Pitt in Interview with the Vampire. Need I say more?
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? Bono. I just think he is so amazing.
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants? I don’t know what my dream job would be but I know that I would want it to fulfill me in so many different ways. I would wear the Unitard — you never know when you need to push it real good. The Hammer Pants can get in the way.

Elle says
August 1st, 2008 at 8:32 pmHahaha, oh yeah, Karen, it was totally alto sax! (And you’re right–it’s totally non-existent in pop music nowadays. Guess that explains my obsession with Michael Buble…well, ok, to be fair, his band. What a hot bunch of guys–and they’re sweet too! Most of them, at least!) My best friend, who lives up in Vancouver, also played the alto sax in band, and yup, those flashes of “OMG I can’t believe we did that” hits us every now and again. 😉 Hey, it builds character!
Betty says
August 1st, 2008 at 10:08 pmYMC 1: Concealer or blush? Blush

YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands? Hairy hands

YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? Living – Angelina Jolie, Deceased – Audrey Hepburn

August 1st, 2008 at 10:50 pm1) Give up the blush and just pinch your cheeks red.
2) Wasn’t really into Matt…but I’ve seen the light since then. Ben was a non-factor.
3) Hairy hands! At least they’d be soft.
4) Who’s Heidi Montag? Who’s Spencer Pratt?
5) I’d have to go with werewolf. Cage me up when the moon is full!
6) Coffee with Tim Gunn. Fashionable, Talented and Chic-Gay. The trinity of personalities.
J-Money says
August 1st, 2008 at 10:51 pmOOps 7) Hammer pants! They look comfortable and you wouldn’t feel bad during bloated days.

August 1st, 2008 at 11:06 pmI better check Tuttle Mori then. 🙂 My background is actually in education – which is why I’ve been interviewing at schools here in HNL before fall starts for the private schools around here. I actually don’t mind teaching, since I love kids… but someday, I’ll get around to working on my own book, since I’ve been writing fiction again.

August 2nd, 2008 at 1:32 amYMC 1: Concealer or blush? Blush. I look dead otherwise.
YMC 2: Ben or Matt? Ben all the way
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands? Teeth. I usually smile with not too much teeth. But I’d miss them though.
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer? I actually had to google both. Lol. But Heidi it is.
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire? Team vampire all the way (oh Edward)
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? I don’t drink coffee. Tea it is with Vivien Leigh. I think she’s fascinating.
YMC 7: actor; Unitard or Hammer Pants? Unitard of course.
Karen Bs last blog post..flist is ♥
Beth says
August 2nd, 2008 at 1:55 amYMC 1: Concealer or blush? Concealer, I don’t wear it that often, I think I could get by without.
YMC 2: Ben or Matt? No question, Ben. Tall dark and handsome AND funny? Yes please!
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands? This is really difficult. Hairy hands.
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer? I actually have no idea who either of them is, so I’m gonna skip this one!
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire? Vampire. My logic is that Ryan Reynolds was a vampire hunter in Blade Trinity. If there was an invasion, the government would remember he’d played that part and recruit him because of his vampie knowledge – thus I’d get to at least be near to his gorgeousness….right before he killed me!
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? Kevin Smith. He rocks.
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants? This is awful, but I don’t really have a dream job. I still don’t really know what I want to do with my life. I guess I’d go with the unitard/boots combo.
Hope your weekend has startd well! I’m thrilled that I just have 3 & 3/4 more hours of work until my time off. Woo!

Joanne says
August 2nd, 2008 at 2:19 amYMC 1: Concealer or blush? Blush. I was always scared of blush when I started to wear makeup in high school. I’d rather conceal my imperfections.
YMC 2: Ben or Matt? Matt Damon! (Especially in the Bourne trilogies)
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands? Hairy hands!
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer? I would say neither, but if I must choose, it would be Heidi just as long as she doesn’t sing and raise her hand like she’s praising the lord or something. Spencer just pisses me off every time he speaks.
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire? Vampires, because they can be hot! and they dress better
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? Hmm… I guess my last living Grandparent, my grandma, in the Philippines. I’ve never met her before.
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants? My dream job: Nursing or Esthetician. I would go for Hammer pants, they seem comfy =)
Shefali says
August 2nd, 2008 at 7:46 amYMC 1: Concealer or blush? Blush. I can always get a natural flush.
YMC 2: Ben or Matt? Matt Damon, he seems to have a sense of humor.
YMC 3: Jack o’ lantern teeth or hairy hands? Jack O’Lantern teeth all the way. Hairy hands sounds scary.
YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer? I think this is the hardest one since they’re both so annoying. But I have to choose, so I’m going with Heidi.
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire? Vampire.
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? SJP!!!!
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants? My dream job is to be a makeup artist for celebrities. I would wear hammer pants and convince everyone they are a fashion statement (remember Joey’s man purse in a “Friends” episode? Same concept, LOL).
Louise says

August 3rd, 2008 at 8:34 pmHi LOLAlaPISTOLA,
Girl, I get so much flak for that word it isn’t even funny. But I’ll always use it, though! Which part of the bay are you from? I grew up in the East Bay!
Karen says
August 3rd, 2008 at 8:34 pmHi Lollipop,
Ha! You are a brave woman for taking on Spencer. Give him a good slap for me!
Karen says
August 3rd, 2008 at 8:37 pmHi Okyanus,
I have a few ideas for you:
Magazines usually like to see pitches, or query letters, first.
After you refine your story idea and do some background research, you’ll have to write your pitch and then send it to the magazines that you think would be a good fit.
A good place to start would be the Writer’s Market guide, which is a listing of magazines along with submission and contact information. It’s also available online.
One of the most useful books around that details entire process of is The Renegade Writer, by Linda Formichelli and Diana Burrell. Read it from cover to cover. They also host e-courses for writers, too, which you can read about on their blog.
Also, last but not least, prepare yourself to be rejected… A LOT. I actually keep all of my rejection notices is a big fat binder because apparently I am a masochist.
My favorite is a hand written one from Tia Williams (of Shake Your Beauty fame) from when she worked as an editor for Teen People, LOL. I hope to one day show it to her if we ever cross paths beauty blogging paths!

August 3rd, 2008 at 8:38 pmHi Ines,
Girl, you know I would so party with you at those shady salsatecas. I can’t salsa for shyeet but I can fake it really good. 🙂
Karen says
August 3rd, 2008 at 8:38 pmHi Hannah,
While you’re pummeling Spencer, please get in a punch or two on my behalf!
Karen says
August 3rd, 2008 at 8:38 pmHi Miss QQ,
“Ben – NO.” LOLOLOL
Good choice on going to coffee with Coco. I’d want to go with her, too, but only on the condition that I completely understood French so I could tell if she was making fun of my Adidas shelltoes and my ratty Old Navy sweatshirt.
Karen says
August 3rd, 2008 at 8:38 pmHi Marisol,
OMG, girl. The scene where Matt Damon jogs down the beach in the second Bourne film… HOT.
And thanks for sending that link! 🙂
Karen says
August 3rd, 2008 at 9:23 pmHi Elle,
Oh! Here’s something fun to do when you’re bored: check you tube for old field shows! I found a few from our band.
“Band is cool!”
Karen says
August 3rd, 2008 at 9:24 pmHi Betty,
Hmm, I’m not familiar with your coffee pick. Who is Jade from AFI?
Karen says
August 3rd, 2008 at 9:24 pmHi Lehea,
“A Fendi bag with a bad attitude… that’s all I need to get me in a good mood.”
LOLOLZ! Ladies Love Cool J, baby!
Karen says
August 3rd, 2008 at 9:24 pmHi J-Money,
Oh, good choice. Have you been watching the new season?
BTW, I’m still ditching the bridesmaid’s dress for Hammer pants at yo’ wedding.
Karen says
August 3rd, 2008 at 9:24 pmHi Jana,

August 3rd, 2008 at 9:24 pmHi Meimei,
I don’t know how large their offices are but it won’t hurt to check. 🙂 You never know!
Teachers are awesome. I totally admire you guys!

August 3rd, 2008 at 9:26 pmHi Iheartmakeup,
Spencer sucks! Try and get Heidi to see the light…
Karen says
August 3rd, 2008 at 9:26 pmHi Karen B.,
I have to grab a quote from the notepad at the book event:
“Jacob is the coolest person/werewolf ever!”
TEAM JACOB!
Karen says
August 3rd, 2008 at 9:26 pmHi Beth,
Ahh, good call. Believe it or not El Hub and I spent 20 minutes today going over the Blade vampire lore. Yup, good stuff.
I will be forever traumatized by the scene in the first movie where the vampires go cra-zay in the meat locker club when the blood rains down on them.
Karen says
August 3rd, 2008 at 9:26 pmHi Joanne,
I agree. The Vampires def. have the better wardrobe. And for some reason they have better cars, too!
Karen says
August 3rd, 2008 at 9:26 pmHi Shefali,
I knew you’d pick Sarah Jessica! 🙂
Karen says
August 3rd, 2008 at 9:26 pmHi Louise,
Yes! I love that you can work those pointy teeth! 😉
Karen says
August 3rd, 2008 at 9:27 pmHi Michelle,
Ha! I want to be a professional shopper, too!
Karen B says
August 4th, 2008 at 12:56 amYou’re team Jacob? Well I guess the warmth does have some appeal.
Unfortunately I’ve been spoiled on LJ and… well. Have you finished the book yet?

August 4th, 2008 at 12:39 pmHAHAHAHA I love this one!
YMC 1: Blush, be gone! Concealer is my reason for living.
YMC 2: Matt. Just because he looks like an old high school crush.
YMC 3: Hairy Hands.
YMC 4: *gag choke* That one’s a thinker. *sigh* I’ll have to go with Heidi. Spencer is just creep-o-rama.
YMC 5: Vampire!
YMC 6: ROGER DALTREY. I would forget about the coffee and just stare at him. I’ve got it bad for that old man.
YMC 7: As geeky as it sounds, being a librarian (but not just any librarian, a MUSIC librarian!) is my dream job. Both outfits are epic but I’ll have to STOP! HAMMER TIME! And I would be at the counter doing The Hammer Dance all day =p
Kiana Jones says

YMC 4: Heidi or Spencer? ugghh…spencer..maybe I could seduce him or something???
YMC 5: Werewolf or vampire? Vampire..Instant sex appeal. Period.
YMC 6: Cup of coffee with? Oh man…ummm…Shia Labeouf?? He’s just miniature sex right now.
YMC 7: (insert dream job here); Unitard or Hammer Pants? Actress…I’ll have to take HAMMER TIME!!! I would make those pants a new fashion statement!!1
