Well then it must be excellent (I did try it years a go but couldn't get a colour match, wonde rif that's improved?). Your skin looks superb in the pictures, you photograph very well.

aw, your so sweet! Hers in the only foundation I've found (other than laura mercier) that comes pale enough for my ghost like pallor!

Welcome to newcomers.

I'm afraid I haven't a clue about high waisted knickers.....as outerwear I gather? Terrifying!

LOVE THIS! Tee hee!

I do quite like those high waisted spangly pants (gonna call them pants as knickers as outerwear sounds terrifying as LiR says!) and totally agree with Goan's outfit suggestion. Also, if you went for leggings rather than tights you'd get more coverage and wouldn't have the 'shorts' bit at the top. Although I think very high denier tights, like 120, don't have the lighter tops. Open a few packs and see!

I loved it too! Made me smile . I shall be opening packs of tights on the market tomorrow, not sure about leggings because they have an elasticated waist and I think it would show through. Plus, might be a bit bulky in addition to my spanx! Just browsing through asos now looking at t-shirts

Great idea about the leggings - guaranteed non-sheer. I've just found these tights (expensive but to die for) which are the same up to the waistband (I fancy the midnight blue)

As for rock band tees, the best source if you're feeling flush (or if it's a pressie) is definately Urban Outfitters - there's a Grateful Dead one I may drop a few hints for my birthday -but have a look on eBay and there's usually lots on the high street (TopShop, New Look, etc)

Dance wear leggings/tights? i.e. modern dance, not ballet...rofl. Can be fairly 'thin'' and thing, and bare feet are better for heels. There is no way on earth I'd go out insomething that could be described as knickers with out the highest of high heels!

Do normal footless tights have the ''shorts'' thing at the top?

Got the high heels LIR! Think normal tights will be fine, the shoes are round toe so doesn't matter about the tights having feet in them. I'll have a look at the dance tights, should have thought of that as I have several pairs from when I used to dance. Definitely coming on this thread more often with all the good ideas!
