thanks ladies for the responses. i now remember why from my active ebaying past. apo/fpo is seen as extra effort by some, but why won't you, even just as a favor to those who serve.

alaska/hawaii can cost more. which is fine by me as long as i got something sold. alaska/hawaii residents must be unhappy about this discrimination laugh out loud what i'm more worried about is that these take longer to arrive, the longer the transit time, the more likely to get lost.

Yes, I always use a debit card, & they process it like a CC.
Thank you so much. This is good to know. Now I can return my Sephora order that has not even arrived yet LMAO I bought a palette yesterday, but I realized I'd rather have a train case.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm going to try it.

Quote from annicus :
ah, thanks, good to know about the APO/FPO. : )

also, i forgot to check in here. i got the backless dress yesterday and tried it on.

i'm torn - it runs a bit smaller (i should have gotten a 4 - i'm usually a 2 for bottoms and a 4 for tops i guess, and the dress is fitted on top so go with your top size! i ordered a 2 unfortunately : ( ) - i was able to zip it up, but it was pretty tight. the waist was about an inch above my natural waist also, and it's pretty short (dress fell to a little above mid-thigh for me, which is TOO SHORT for a dress like that, imo!). the straps were tight for me as well, so i am thinking if the straps were more normal-fitting the dress might be a tad longer on me, which is good.

i'm not sure if i'm going to reorder it bc it seems it'll be too short altogether for me (but it may work perfectly for you shorter ladies!) but i really really LOVE the straps in the back. the teal color is gorgeous also. GH - i'm not sure if the gorgeous would work with that dress actually. the way it's cut, it may still show. you may need to find nu-bra stickies or something...

the fabric is a slightly stretchy cotton. it's not thick but not *too* thin. i don't think there will be any issues of being see-through (the only one i'd worry about is the yellow, but i think it's thick enough that it won't be).
Thanks for the warning. I have a Very Sexy multi-way that I was considering exchanging for the low-back version. If neither will work, I'll probably pass on that dress. I don't think pasties would be enough for me. Frown

I haven't thought about styling my hair with bobby pins in years. Thanks for the tuts. This is being picky, but they should have used lighter bobby pins on that girl's hair. It was a great day, when they came out with a lighter color bobby pins for those of us with lighter hair. Stick Out Tongue

Have you worn them for a full day? I'm always looking for jeggings that stay in shape and don't "grow" throughout the day. nod

I thought about that too. But they may be trying to prove the point that you can hide them. But I don't think they mentioned that being the purpose.

Any news about the robe GWP? look around Hope we get an online code soon!
I asked today when I got the water bottle. All the manager knew was that it went thru Mother's Day, wasn't sure when it started, and that it's a thin robe.

check out the nu-bra [jcpenney.com] like i mentioned. it's more support than pasties - it's 2 gel things that you stick on your skin under your girls, and then you bring the 2 gel things together to hook in the middle. so i think it actually provides a lot more support than normal stickies. i've never tried it tho kuz i'm too cheap to buy something like that. someday i'm sure i will need to try it!
