About the photo. There is always "that guy". This is a California Quail - they're ground birds, like chickens. But there's always "that guy" that has to be different. "That guy" is identifying as a house finch (bird feeder bird). We love "that guy" doing his thing, his way. This is the "My Way" blog - I started it when I got my dx for diabetes, but there has always been a fashion/color thing going on. You'll still read about the medical piece, but far more about the color and fashion part of my life.

"Best Red Lip"

 I don't remember which facebook group I got this idea from, but I think it might work

Take a closeup of your lips (done)

Open it with a photo editor (I use paint.net - it's free)

whatever method you use (I just eyeballed it) crop the photo down to the darkest part of your lip.

Ratchet the saturation to 100% - 

that's your best red.

Yikes???

Or...Wowser?

Or...MAC Lady Danger? (the lipstick is closer to the red in person than it is in the pic)

REthinking DYT (T1/s???)

 So...it was suggested that I rethink my secondary 2, and consider secondary type 3.

It fits, and also suits my preferences for fabric types and style lines.
