@raindancing-with-the-stars-above in reply to your post “how weird is it to watch youtube fashion videos about olive complexions...” said:

can u tell me the results of ur research when ur done, cause i have olive skin & am never motivated enough to google such stuff

WELL so far I’ve found:

for make-up advice:

Alexandra Anele (pale olive Caucasian, great, very chill queer vibe tho a strate)

Olive Embrace (Asian, sounds about 12 tho so YMMV?)

for clothing colour advice:

(both very soothing voices for some reason)

Meriam Style (Indian cool-olive, seems the most in depth/clued up)

Audrey Coyne (pale olive Waspy McWasp)

All this is based on the idea that your skin has an undertone and the best colours to wear are the ones which match that undertone.

So far what I think I understand is:

olive people can be cool (blue) or warm (yellow) undertone.

cool people have blue veins in their wrist or look better in silver jewellery

warm people have green veins and look best in gold jewellery

neutral people have mixed veins and/or look okay in both

undertone can change during the year if you tan strongly

(eg. wear warmer, lighter colours in summer when your skin has gone over to the warm-undertone side and your teeth/eyes/hair are lighter)

within those undertones there are five kinds of olive, as far as I can see:

cool + saturated (vivid cool green)

cool + de-saturated (muted cool green)

warm + de-saturated (muted warm green)

warm + saturated (vivid warm green)

neutral (straddling de-saturated cool+warm green, varying through year)

cool olive need to wear blue-undertone colours

warm olive need to wear yellow-undertone colours

neutral olive look good in a mix of some blue and some yellow colours

And it actually seems that it’s most important to match your contrast.

EG:

Lupita Nyong’o has cool dark hair and dark skin, so that’s low contrast, BUT she has a high contrast between her dark skin and her white teeth / sparkling eyes. So she can wear an equally-pale colour (high contrast against her dark skin, just like her teeth) and look harmonious.

(And because her eyes and skin are bright, bright, saturated colour looks good on her. She has a cool undertone, and those 3 things -- cool + pale + bright = mean a saturated light blue is her best colour. Remember that Cinderella-blue dress she once wore? That.)

This is also why Chris Evans looks great in dark blue, despite being pale. That dark blue is highly contrasted against his pale skin - and so is his dark brown hair, so they match!

But as Cap, with his hair honey blonde (medium contrast) he looks best in medium-tone bright blue. (Because his eyes are vivid/saturated and sparkly, he can pull off highly saturated colour, which is why the bright red, white n blue Cap suit looks good on him, but his best colour is vivid jewel-tone teal, which also brings out the blue and slight green in his eyes.)

Seb Stan, IMO, is a neutral olive ( cool + de-saturated when pale, warm + de-saturated when tan.)

He looks good in medium tone colours because he often has medium contrast between his hair/skin/teeth, but when he’s very tan his skin looks very yellow and his eyes/teeth suddenly look super pale (become higher contrast) and, like Lupita, he looks amazing in (high contrast) equally pale colours.

His eyes are not a vivid/pure/saturated colour (because they’re so grey), so he cannot pull off vivid colour like Cevans can -- although he often wears it. Similarly muted, de-saturated versions of colours look best on him (camel, grey, beige, cream, charcoal, navy, burgundy, dull purple, puce, etc. and -- when he’s pale -- emerald green and ruby red. Basically he suits the classic Chanel colours!)

The paler his skin is, the more sallow, the darker his hair looks, the higher the contrast, therefore the darker/higher-contrast the colour he can pull off; so, ironically, Winter would be the time he’d probably look best in black! (Though it would look better if his hair was black, too). Perfect for a New Yorker.

Tips:

match your undertone (cool green, neutral/both, or warm green)

AVOID wearing cool-undertone (jewel) colours when very tanned

the saturation level of the colours you can pull off depends on how ‘bright’ and pigmented your skin and eyes are:

if you look bright & vivid, wear saturated colour

if you look delicate, wear muted/desaturated colour

match your contrast

dark tones look best on the high-contrast of dark hair/pale skin (in winter).

pale tones look best on very high contrast people (so dark skin/tan when the teeth/eyes look very light), OR NO contrast people (both pale hair/pale skin), but NOT on everyone else.

medium tones look best on medium-contrast people.

the best way to find your most flattering colours is to find your olive-twin celebrity and see what they look best in.

(a piece of clothing that doesn’t suit will draw attention/look like it’s floating on top of you in photos; in extreme cases it can also make your arms/skin look grey and dead.)

mix green colour-corrector with foundation to get the best match?

Colour Variants in each Undertone:

Cool + Saturated:

Red - pure red, fuschia pink

Green - teal, turquoise, mint green

Blue - royal blue, electric blue

Violet - amethyst

Black, white

Cool + De-Saturated:

Red - ruby red, burgundy

Yellow - beige

Green - emerald green, forest green

Blue - navy, powder blue

Violet - dark purple/puce

Silver, grey, charcoal

Neutral is a mix of ^ + v

- Warm + De-Saturated:

Red - blush pink, peach, coral, salmon

Orange - amber, mahogany

Yellow - camel

Green - olive green

Ivory, cream

Warm + Saturated:

Red - tomato red

Orange - blood-orange, orange

Yellow - gold, mustard

Green - lime green, leaf green

Hello! So there's something I've been looking for for a while now. In my previous theme I've managed to find a code makes stars (or sparkles if you wish) fly from the centre of the backgound outwards (kind of like in star wars when a ship went into hyperspeed, only less blurry), you could also adjust the speed of the stars and whatnot. Now I can't seem to find it now for the life of me. Do you know how to help me? Thank you!

As a lesbian I would have loved to have bought a lesbian bow from you but since you like being a biased lesbophobe I'll happily give my money to someone who deserves it. Btw you can't be in a """"lesbian relationship""" if you're pan. You're either a lesbian or you're pan. You can't be both.

Well I got about a 50/50 guess at who this is so I’m gonna say hey @raindancing-with-the-stars-above.

But yeah, being an asshole gets you no where in life. If someone politely called to my attention that I forgot to include a lesbian flag bow, I would have been like “cool you’re right. I should include this”. Instead you called me a lesbophobe and were overall very rude.

So no, I don’t feel like making one anymore. You don’t walk into a McDonald’s and scream at the cashier that there’s no McRib being served right now.

Nice people get what they want. Assholes get shit. Have a nice day.

(Btw that’s some swell gate keeping you’re doing there. I like women and I’m a woman. I also like guys. I like literally everyone. Except assholes)

☆ ( There was a star that danced…

Blue eyes blink open, the sun streaming in from the window, falling onto her sleeping form. Alyssa lets out a small yawn before making herself move up, stretching her arms above her as she tries to shake the last bits of sleep away from herself. She knew that she slept rather long at times but she felt like she had been sleeping longer than she had in a while.

There’s what feels like fog over her mind right now, and she wonders if it’s still because she’s waking up or if it’s something else entirely. Rubbing at her eyes, Alyssa blinks and looks around the room, eyes widening as she takes in her surrounds.

This isn’t the room she feel asleep in last night.

She gets out of the bed she was sleeping in to find a note alongside a cellphone, a key and what appears to be a welcome package on her nightstand. Pairing Project? She reads over it and while she does understand what it means, it just causes so many questions to appear. Well, there’s only one way of finding out, right?

Alyssa leaves the room, only to hear noise from within the apartment. The note did say something about a roommate didn’t it? Perhaps they’re already here?

She steps farther into the apartment only to find a girl that appears to be her age within it. “Oh? Would you by chance happen to be my roommate?”

and it danced it’s way into @raindanced’s path ) ☆

CheckOut: Kapital Inn, Budapest, Hungary

CHECKOUT: Kapital Inn, Budapest: Top/bottom line

The Kapital Inn, Budapest, Hungary reigns as the #1 bed and breakfast on TripAdvisor for the past 10 consecutive years. That might be because it’s gay owned/operated by Albert, a local Hungarian and former 5-star hotel exec and Paul, a South African and former advertising exec. You’ll find the Kapital Inn on the penthouse floor of an elegant 19th century apartment building. They recently renovated the Inn blending the neo-renaissance architectural interiors with contemporary furniture, to create modern living spaces. This is the place to stay when you are in Budapest, and here’s why:

Location

Nestled in 6th district of the Pest side (east of the Danube River), the Kapital Inn is set one block back from the city’s Andrássy Avenue, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Budapest’s answer to Paris’ Champs-Elysées. The Avenue is home to an abundance of upscale shops and restaurants and it’s side streets have just as much action. The Millennium rail line, the first subway line in continental Europe, is just steps away to access the entire city.

Here are just some of the top attractions within walking distance:

Hungarian State Opera House: Um. Madonna filmed the balcony scene from Evita here. If that’s not enough, there’s vocal and orchestra performances throughout the year.

The House of Terror Museum: The only of its kind dedicated to those victims of two terror regimes.

360 Bar: An iconic Budapest rooftop terrace with 360° panorama views atop the tallest building on Andrássy Avenue. They recently installed six themed heated igloos with designer furniture to sip cocktails in during the winter months.

Széchenyi Thermal Bath: Budapest is known for their baths and this one is the largest medicinal bath in Europe. Tip: Dip in once the sun goes down to let the steam rise around you into the night sky.

Jewish District: Emerged as one of Budapest’s hippest neighborhoods, known for its quirky ”Ruin Bars”, cafes, art galleries and design shops.

Room/Bathroom

The Kapital Inn is a quintessential BnB boutique housing just seven rooms. Each is spacious, clean and smartly renovation and designed. The best I’ve seen in Europe. Even with an intimate feel, you won’t find yourself uncomfortably close to any other guests. And you’ll get a good night sleep; there’s a refined and calming stillness from being up in the penthouse that silences the bustle of Budapest below.

The rooms to book:

Deluxe King Room: This is the largest room and boasts a relaxing contemporary design, high ceilings, large French style windows and a comfy king-size bed. It has a big en-suite bathroom, his and his or hers and hers vanity, a walk-in shower and a two-person bathtub. The shower design is sexy, sleek and where you’ll want to spend your time.

Deluxe King Suite: For those traveling with family or more than one couple, this spacious 65sqm suite two bedroom has a living room and a large en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower. It is furnished with an eclectic mix of contemporary furniture and lighting, and features high ceilings, queen size beds and four large French style windows for a light and airy atmosphere.

Deluxe Double Rooms: Very spacious rooms, each with their own en-suite bathroom fitted with “RainDance” showerheads and walk-in showers large enough to fit two. They both feature contemporary design, which blends modern and vintage style furniture.

Amenities

Breakfast: Each morning head to the elegant kitchen for breakfast (8:00am and 10:30am) where you’ll sit at the huge island with other guests from around the world. There you’ll find Albert or Paul ready to take your order for eggs, bacon or one of their must have omelets (Albert is a Hungarian trained chef). A choice of coffee or tea is available, alongside apple and orange juice, traditional pastries, a selection of cereals, fresh fruit, yogurt, cream cheese and Hungarian salami. *Breakfast is included in the price of your room. They accommodate specific dietary requests too.

Roof Top Terrace: After checking in I was completely surprised to find a 600-sq. ft. private terrace with rooftop views. Weather permitting, this is where to sip a cocktail before heading to dinner or to relax after a day of sightseeing. There’s also a fully fitted guest kitchen area located next to the terrace.

Guest Office: A private guest office comes equipped with laptop and printer if you need to connect with the real world. There’s free Wi-Fi throughout the property and the office is packed with books, games, DVD’s and more.

Other room amenities include: All air-conditioned room, daily housekeeping, hairdryer, shower gels and soaps.

Local Experience

From the moment you arrive, you feel the love.

Arrival Love: Albert or Paul will graciously welcome and sit down with you to chart out your Budapest experience. They’ll pull out a map, pen and begin marking up things to do that best fit your interests.

Local Love: Albert, a native Hungarian, knows the city, it’s people and politics. You can’t ignore the passion he holds for the city. Breakfast time is when you can learn the most from Albert and Paul about Budapest and make up of its culture. You may be a thousand miles from home, but you’ll never feel you’re that far away with the conversation and hospitality provided by Albert and Paul.

Gay Factor

LGBT owned and operated

Conveniently located near gay bars and clubs (ask Albert and Paul for recommendations)

Started out as a strictly gay BnB, but now open to all – but still caters to many gay guests.

Rates

Rooms start at €65 for Standard rooms start and slide up to €99 for the the Deluxe Suite.
