to think I may have just been unfaithful?

I'm really VERY new to MN. But v v v into it. But I've only ever done AIBU. It's the first thing I found. It's where I have lurked, the reason I joined and where I have exclusively posted.

I have never explored any other part of the MN site (am I a fool? Are you laughing at me now? I found AIBU totally satisfying up until now)

However, I have just done a post on Style and Beauty. The only reason I even KNOW about Style and Beauty is because it was mentioned in a thread on AIBU, and I checked a zombie thread (incidentally, that was Yoni - it was awesome! Envy).

But I had an issue... a problem... a worry, and it wasn't suitable for AIBU.

So I posted on style and beauty, which WAS suitable. I was honest about the situation. I told them immediately and upfront (well, in the second, clarifying post) that I am neither stylish nor beautiful.

I had some helpful responses. I was grateful. Yes - I'll say it - I was appreciating the comments I received.

But I feel a little bit soiled. Slightly ashamed.... I went to S&B and posted on the internet. Have I behaved badly, and compromised my morals?

Will AIBU have me back again? I WANT to come back again. I WANT to be viper on a Friday and Saturday night. I want to judge and condemn or champion and support. I WANT to make amends. I want it to work! I WILL change. People DO change. (I want Worra and Welsh to cheer me on) Is this an impossible hope?

Also (insert emoticon for woolfish laugh) what else am I missing????

Sorry, Kleptronic... couldn't find your post. (did look, but it's late. Can you give more direction?)

Got LOTS of helpful advice for mine.

The women oh S&B are so nice....

Do you know, after a refreshing 8 hours of sleep, and waking with bright eyes, and skin that literally glows, I'm thinking.

Have you noticed how shiny the usernames are over on S&B? They're so stylish. And some of them are really quite beautiful.

I'm not being rude, i'm sure some of the user names on AIBU are... um... neat, and some of them are attractive enough, in a kind-of rough-round-the-edges way.

But, you know (and I'm not being rude here), does EatShitD really sound like a women with a recent manicure? Do you see the name FannyFifer and assume she's got a perfectly coiffured head of hair.

And Welsh, it's quite a pretty name, but doesn't exactly scream of sophistication. I mean, if she were to change her username to "BrightLightsofLondon", wouldn't we all have a different view of her?

Worra, you've been on MN a long time. I'm not saying it's bad to be old, it comes to us all. Just a quick question... Back when you first posted was your name actually Morra?

Gravity, I know, is no-one's friend. But some women (and, yes, I'm sure they are the ones on S&B) just carry it a little bit better.

OMG... there are usernames on AIBU which are "chippednailvarnish" and "dirtyknickers". S&B here I come.....

Kin L Worra that's beautiful.

WorraLiberty · 25/05/2015 00:47

I'm embracing my feminine side TooOld and it's all the OP's doing.

I'm typing this, dressed as Elsa from Frozen xxxxxxxx

TooOldForGlitter · 25/05/2015 00:52

Just beautiful. I almost want to call you hun. I think I can keep it in. For now. Don't tempt me further though.

CrystalMcPistol · 25/05/2015 02:02

I'm always slagging myself out to S&B. They have very lax morals though so don't mind.

Except when it comes to nude shoes, very moralistic about nude shoes.

TooOldForGlitter · 25/05/2015 02:18

What is the position on nude shoes? EBay has just provided me with a lovely pair of patent nude wedges. Am I overstepping a. mark here? If so, does Mark know?

Fatmomma99 · 25/05/2015 11:16

Sigh. Assume you also keep your coal in the bath, Worra/Morra?
And, I'm afraid, I picture you more like this: (no offense!)

TooOld - Nude shoes are just wrong. Esp because of some of the images I got when I googled the term Shock

Oh dear, you'll now miss out on the sludge coloured sack for ££££ that they always link to, when someone needs a going out dress.

I do lurk there, on the anti-wrinkle threads, though, to my shame.

WorraLiberty · 25/05/2015 13:02

Errrm posting my passport photo is not cool OP Hmm

The next time you bugger off to S&B I'm going to lock the door, so you'll be forced to wander the streets in shame, wearing your white linen mummy trousers and tunic top...

Welshmaenad · 25/05/2015 13:17

You seem to have realised the error if your ways, so I figure we can let it slide just the once.

I went into chat once. Everyone was...NAICE. I ran away.

Fatmomma99 · 25/05/2015 16:59

Sorry, M/Worra, I didn't mean to 'out' you.

Welsh - you ARE nice. Except when you talk about a certain dog....

Fatmomma99 · 25/05/2015 20:10

Yes, coughing. I can tell style and beauty is a little - ahem - lacking. Stay on here

Just popped over to my LURVERLY spiritual home.

Some beautiful and stylish discussions, which I wouldn't expect any of you to understand.

But a wonderful and stimulating discussion on what shape our nails should be (don't bother, M/Worra. TRUST ME, you can't contribute)

and some fabulous topics on Breton tops, and casual shoes for wet summer/spring weather. Those stylish ladies certainly know how to get a conversation going!

Off to slip into my silk pjs onsie.

Goodnight, plebby ones!
