Cresm8r1908: Thank you for the validation. If feels as if everyone left when they started their own website. I see, after having tried to participate in the seemingly innocuous discussions, particularly in Beauty Banter, exactly why they left. The racist comments go uncensored. There are large groups who call themselves families, friends who deliberately give the old cold shoulder to anyone trying to join in in their conversations.

On Topic: During the discussion of Tyra Banks a lady wondered if there'd be anything for white women or just for .... Interesting don't you think? The thread I started about the limited selection here at QVC was deleted entirely. In all honesty it had become an ugly, argumentative brawl rather than polite conversation.

I was relieved beyond belief when I found the MAC color charts! Finally! but that's only one. I ran into a big gap in LANCOME's darkest three colors then they withdrew them. I hope it's a temporary move. Better even , if they just sold out .But hope is displaced in this category.

I hope you are well, happy. I hope you've found another group of women who can freely discuss matters of concern for them/us . If you do please let me know too? The members of the WEN group of WOC are arguing about which variety is best etc. Sometimes the posts are less than helpful though I don't think its done with malice, just failure to consider the others' opinions as valid. That's the only one I know of that remains.

CoG! Good Evening!

'Tis the reason I was led to *dip out*. I would check in periodically...but mostly to get reviews prior to a purchase...and even then, some posts could just *turn left*.

I went looking for the old WOC DIVA thread to see what the Ladies were up to/catch up/etc...and saw NOTHING(?) exists...nothing??? Based on what was going on I can see why a website was created. Currently I subscribe to various *Natural* sites/sites (big chopped in 2013).

I saw what you saw re: TB and her line. Speaking of which, have you tried *MakeUp Forever*? They have a pretty extensive pallet and a Sephora, a beginners selection is offered ($79).

It is a bit disheartening that the more things change...the more they stay the same. However, culturally based questions exist and conscious answers serve us all in this ever narrowing global multi-cultural/multi-hued society.

Have a most lovely Saturday evening!

We were a group that found our positive thread was being compromised. So many lurkers with evil intentions coming and starting nonsense. We kept it moving and have a happy home now. Yet, it is nice to come back and check in with some positive ladies from time to time. I'll just that it works for me. There should never be drama on these boards. It makes me sad to see it. I don't regret moving.

Happy Sunday Tina W!!

Please do give the Ladies my best! I do hope to run across more as I ease my toes back in *these here waters*! We may no longer have a *thread-home*...but I hope to periodically chat-it-up. NEVER *woulda/coulda* gone *big chop/twa* without y'all....the info/laughter/support provided was priceless! Recalling those stories from you, Miss Daph, PBJ, DR, Mirage, et al. LATrainer had me on the road to whittle-my-middle!! (kinda fell off that train tho'....think it even backed up over me lolol). CoG has provided a *learner's guide* to MAC...so still....it remains...Each one Teach one!!

Enjoy your day Diva!!
