the next trend: donuts the size of your hand
I dreamed I ordered up a dozen deep-fried donut goodness, some of which were shaped like seahorses, but they were all about hand-sized. I have girlish hands that are rather small. I suppose the dream was inspired by this dessert we had at Palomino, which were deep-fried balls of dough put in a white paper bag to get powdered sugar coating them evenly. At the time I said it reminded me of French...

Change the dupe’s mode to multiply and vary the opacity. If it’s still too dark, copy the dupe, invert the layer mask, and change to screen. Run the Dodge and Burn filter. (Pretty sure PS has it built in, get...

Dear Coquette: On dreads. →
dearcoquette: I’m worried that my dreads are wrong and that it’s wrong for me to have them. Historically my culture; be it American, Mexican, or Dutch, does not include dreads. They are also of no spiritual importance to me. I feel that by me having them I am misrepresenting a culture that I do not, in any… “No one gives a fuck about your stupid hair.”
