When dealing with lipstick, you want one with the "fat digester", lipase.How to make a French pleatThe hairstylist Nicky Clarke tells you howThis look can be a timeless classic or be brought bang up to date with a more unstructured finish.For a perfect French pleat the hair must be at least shoulder length and, ideally, have a few long layers through the front. I would suggest a pre-treatment specialist product such as Stain Devil or Dylon.Don't wait to see if the stain "comes out in the wash" before investing in a specialist product, because the heat of the wash, especially if you tumble dry, can "set" the stain.It is important to treat the stain as soon as possible, but don't try and deal with it on the hoof. Water will just run off the stain, and rubbing will only spread it Wait until you're at home with all the correct equipment The solvent must be applied with a clean, white cloth. If you were to dab at it with a red napkin, for example, the solvent would dissolve the red pigment and make the original stain even worse.After pre-treatment, wash with a biological detergent.
Illiterate postings will look like the postings of an illiterate. And if you're sending a message to a group of people, scroll through the thread to make sure that somebody hasn't already said what you want to say.How to get lipstick off your collarby Suzanne Wilkinson of the Good Housekeeping InstituteThe difficulty about lipstick is that you've got pigment wrapped in grease, and that makes it very hard to remove. Before you add one to your own messages, remember that not everyone receiving e-mail from you will be convinced that you read all the works of Jefferson before selecting the one which sums up your own philosophy best.If you can, write off-line and read what you've written before sending it. (For the same reason, a milky coffee stain is much harder to remove than black coffee.) With lipstick, you're dealing with a heavy fat, so you will need a really efficient solvent. The best compromise is simply to write the addressee's full name - or forename if you've spoken before - at the top of a message, press "return" and start writing. At the end write your own first name or, if you expect to be addressed by both names, your first and second name.
Some correspondents routinely sign off with "regards".Some e-mail programmes allow you automatically to add a personal signature - commonly either a libertarian quotation, the sort of smirky joke that appears as graffiti above student union urinals, or a New-Age musing on the nature of life. Your readers can't see your face or hear the tone of your voice, and so there is no way of knowing whether "you old bastard" is meant fondly or insultingly. And for lack of any other evidence, Net users always assume the worst.If you write in capital letters, you are presumed to be shouting Don't do it. If your writing skills aren't up to conveying nuance, you can use asterisks around a word or phrase to convey the sort of emphasis you'd normally set in italics.Salutations and valedictions are always difficult, given that the dearness, faithfulness and sincerity of posted letters are taken for granted on the Net. Think of it as a high-speed postcard, and you're almost there.Remember that, as in all written language, your meaning has to be conveyed in the words you use because, voiceless, you can't give them any inflection. But the main thing is, the horse has got to look at you kindly.How to behave on the Internetby John Diamond, journalist and broadcasterThe Internet is a medium of correspondence, but - as nobody ever tells new users - it is unlike any other medium. Net messages are less measured than letters, more asynchronous than the telephone, more verbose than a telegram.
It mean's he's fed up and probably isn't going to do his best. If the horse is sweating behind the saddle - particularly if it's a filly - it probably means that she's got a touch of the collywobbles and is a bit jumpy.Don't look at some bloody thing with a wild eye and say, "Christ, there's a high-mettled thoroughbred, I bet that'll go like the wind." That is the biggest mistake you could make. You're looking for a nice, bold, calm eye, and it's always better if the horse has won a couple of races in the past year. If you see a horse who's got a bit of white about his eyes and he's kind of looking backwards, have nothing whatsoever to do with him. Don't even look at the rest, and you will win many, many more times than you lose.If you want to pick a winner in the ring, make sure your horse has a bloody great crease right down his backside, behind his quarters.
