Scarlet

I say gothic for lack of a better term. We will have darker themed home decor, like candelabras and skull and dragon items. We will have glassware and dishes and a small selection of jewelry and clothing. I am looking for a name to draw people in. The crowds who like this style don't typically go to places like Bed, Bath & Beyond, but lean toward online shops and chain companies like Hot Topic, or my personal favorite, the Renaissance faire. I need a name that lets them know we have what they're looking for! :)

In a sense, to share the love. Yes, this sounds cliche. But today, the woman in front of me at the drive-thru paid for my meal. She was long gone before I could thank her-- before I'd even known she had done it. I went through a toll booth shortly after and paid the person behind me's toll. I was inspired by this random act of kindness a complete stranger gave me. Something as simple as holding a door for someone, picking up something they've dropped... it's made me feel like one person really CAN make a difference.

What are some random acts of kindness you've done or have been given to you?

Long story short-- I shoot pin-up, burlesque, boudoir, and tasteful nudes. It's a hobby I'd like to turn into more of an actual job. I want a creative studio name that is tasteful but sexual but does not sound limited to just pin-up. I thought maybe focusing on the well-known red lips of your classic pin up...

Is Scarlet Kiss Studios cheesy? Any other ideas are greatly appreciated. I am a traveling studio, not that it really matters... but I carry my studio with me and bring it to my clients.

Thanks in advance!

Usually, I'm the one answering recipe questions on Yahoo! Answers... but I need a little help with this one. I was looking for a different idea for Christmas dinner this year besides the same old ham or turkey with mashed potatoes and stuffing...

I am making a marinated pork loin with a baked macaroni and cheese, stuffed potato skins, grilled shrimp, baked asiago broccoli, a Caesar salad, garlic biscuits, and deviled eggs. My question is, I want to also make stuffed mushrooms (which I've never made)-- I need a recipe that will pair well with the meal. I'd like to make something using portabellas but any type of mushroom will do. :)

Thanks in advance from one cook to another!

I only installed the required discs to get my computer back up and running. Which of the discs included with Vista has the theme options on it? None of them really ring a bell to me...

I have a tank of five turtles. There are two paints and three false maps in it. The last few weeks I have noticed the maps appear to be trying to mate. In the wild, I know they mate shortly after hibernation, but my boyfriend and I do not allow our turtles to hibernate, keeping the tank at 80 all year round. Also, I know they need land to lay eggs. Our tank is a full aquatic tank with a dock. What do we need to do to set a new tank up to allow the maps to breed? And how should I incubate the eggs? Thanks in advance.

And for the record, I have a lot of experience with turtles-- we have a total of seven, including a common snapping turtle. But breeding them is a whole new thing. I know the basics, but details would be really helpful. Thank you! :)

First six people to pick numbers, I'm playing your numbers for tonight's powerball. If we win, prepare for an email from me tomorrow, because we're rich!

Just for fun, people. :) I know some people are going to cry "SPAM" and think about reporting this. But it's just a game. And I will truthfully play the first six numbers.

I have this blue & gold macaw I've acquired. He seems very friendly-- talks a lot and takes food from me no problem. He'll even give me kisses! But he wasn't really handled much but his original owners. He's 18 years old and lived with them for 16 of his years. I want to be able to take him out of the cage and hold him on my arm. But he won't come out of the cage-- he snaps at me when I try to convince him to step up, even bribing him with peanuts. Anyone with bird experience-- is it possible to train him to "step up" after 16 years?

I love my boyfriend. God knows how much I love him. And I know he loves me... but he recently told me he used to suffer from depression. The reason he brought it up is because it seems to be back. The few weeks before he told me, I noticed he just never seemed quite as happy... every little thing bothered him and none of what he loves can make him happy. So I questioned it to him, and he told me his story.

I want to be there for him. God knows I love him.. but it's to the point that I'm hurting all the time when I am with him. He doesn't show the love like he did. When I am with him he is mopeing around.. but when I leave, he calls or texts apologizing for being so ungrateful to me... for taking me for granted.

I don't want to be the bad girlfriend who leaves him in his time of need. But where do you draw the line between someone elses pain and your own? I cry myself to sleep too many times a week over him.

I LOVE wearing animal print. But it's very tedious searching around all over the place the find it. Is there a website or store that specializes in animal print? I want a place I can go that only has prints so I don't have to sit at my computer for an hour skimming a website only to find one or two things.

Just curious. :)

I'm a Tasteful Treasures consultant. The theme to our convention this year is "Space Jammin'." I want a costume that coincides with the theme and the company theme... so my basic idea is to do the cowboy look but in shiny silver tones to make it space-ish and alien-like. You know, a "space cowboy." I've already ordered shiny silver chaps that reflect the light, and I am thinking I may do some silver glitter paint on my face. Got a silver cowboy hat. And I am going to wear a belt with holsters... and in the holsters instead of guns, I was going to hold two of our top selling adult toys, thus tieing in the company theme. Would love more ideas, please! Remember space theme... and whatever I can do to tie it in to the company theme "romance enhancement products." Thanks!!

This is not really Halloween related... but I can't think of a better category.

I am a Tasteful Treasures consultant. Our convention's theme this year is "Space Jammin'." We are to dress up according to the theme. But, I want to coincide with the theme of the company as well. Any ideas how to make a space costume work with the romance enhancement theme of our company?

They give out prizes for the best costume. And I think something that creatively links the two themes will more than likely get me an award as opposed to something that is just space related. So, creative voices out there... help a girl out! :) :) :)

I am having a masquerade style "ball" for my birthday this year. I have till November to prepare. I would love some ideas and color schemes. Websites to buy good, cheaper decorations would be great. I do not want the Mardi Gras styled items. I am looking more toward the Venetian Masquerade. I already have a lot of ideas but would love more. :) Thank you!

I am looking for a skirt for the Renaissance Faire but not sure what I should search!

Looking for something along these lines... http://www.bruteforceleather.com/store/ProdImages/...

I've been searching Ebay, but like I said, I'm not sure what to search for so I'm not coming up with anything! Any idea what this style of skirt is called? Or where I can find good ones?

Thanks in advance!

I don't know what's wrong with me. Or if it's him... or what. I've never had problems before. But with him, I have trouble getting started, and most times it ends with me getting frustrated and throwing in the towel. I am very attracted to him and he is very sweet to me. It's not that he doesn't turn me on because he does all the right things, but it seems to take me AGES to finally get started. Any tips?

I saw this movie a long time ago. I vaguely remember it. I am pretty sure it was a comedy. But I remember the person who was saving the animals running in and freeing the pets... and then came running out with a handful of snakes and passed out outside. He kept running past the snakes in the store until they were all that was left... any ideas?

I am having issues with my two year old daughter. She'll tell me when she needs to pee, and she always goes on the potty. But I can't for the life of me get her to go number two! I've tried offering her sweeties and stickers... any tips from other parents? Thanks!

Ok. I've heard a lot about this acai berry stuff. But every "first hand experience" I've heard is the exact same story as the first, but with the names and locations changed. Does it really work? I'm really looking for people who have tried this themselves or know people who have tried it.

I've been working hard to lose weight after having a baby (nearly two years ago now!) I'm not having much luck with it. Are these berries really the miracle food that they are claimed to be?

I have a daily exercise routine: I run a do twenty push-ups and crunches every morning and every evening. And I run a mile daily.

I eat fairly healthy. I tend to stay away from from greasy, oily foods. I eat a lot of fruits and salads, and I don't drink sodas.

But I am still over-weight! Any ideas on what to do?
