    Why is it a shame? Its how I feel about this whole overblown performance, being able to be honest and maybe give some effective advice is a skill I believe, this skill is also the basis for my knowledge on fake tan but then others who are regulars on the fake tan thread have equal if not better knowledge than me a great example is FelinePrincess. A person cant please everyone all of the time and if my advice has helped some of the posters who were very distressed then that makes it time well spent:)

    I sometimes can't believe what I read on here........

    Who posted a reality check/getting things in perspective reminder the other day?

    Can people truly not manage their own lives or make a decision these days?

    Very distressed about fake tan? Really does sum up the narcistic world people live in.:rolleyes:

    Distressed about comments on the daily fashion thread not the fake tan one.

    Sometimes people need a bit of support, I read your post the other day on another thread suggesting someone take a shower:rolleyes:

    Despite what you say, you're very argumentative, aren't you? You constantly, CONSTANTLY say you're done with the topic, leaving well alone, backing away reverently etc etc, yet here you are again, making a strange comment on a post that didn't involve you in any way shape or form, and dragging some other unknown poster into it too?!

    I was JOKING. I'm trying to lighten the mood because frankly, this is all very depressing and is ruining my 'I'm wearing new clothes' vibe.

    Hhhmmm, just noticed you thanked me. I am wholly confused by this exchange now.

    Apologies if you were joking too and I am the one being argumentative! I think I need to back away and get on with my work... :rotfl:

    Did you read the entire post?
    Did you read - fully - what it was in response to?
    Why the sarcastic smiley? Did you understand the context of what I was saying?


    If anything I have said/written has caused distress to anyone, then I must be one tough cookie (which I AM NOT by the way), and they need a bit of ah-poor-you support by the way of fake tan, then yay - go for it.

    I was trying to help some people who were upset just like you believe you were.

    So the remark that you made about ab's inability to spell narcissistic didn't come out of nowhere...?

    Your wry (I assume, it couldn't possibly have been argumentative) comment was made out of thin air - in a superior manner; yet I'm sure that you meant it tongue-in-cheek.

    You know by now that there is a three-way clique that involves ab, Suki and myself (not, but we are at least on the same page), so I "joined in". Are invitations required? Have I missed a new rule about not speaking until spoken to?

    I have tried to back away - I get criticised and referred to when I have. Trust me - even if it makes me seem as though I don't know my own mind - I will not let that go. Some of it is way out of proportion. The "reverently" remark was meant with humour. I am serious about what I think about the fashion take-over but beyond that I am sure an intelligent person like you can see dry humour when it is intended.

    You pick up on narcissism, why NOT sandles?

    Sorry - particularly blonde day... I'm still not getting you?

    Seemed to me as though you were trivilialising what I said to the person I spent a lot of time replying to..

    Tell you what, maybe she should slap on some St Tropez - cures everything.

    I have not at any point said that I am upset. Even if I was, it would not be something I would divulge on the internet, this forum in particular.
