		<description><![CDATA[Every time I see a make-over show or article one of the biggest questions is "What should I wear on a date?" and inevitably the same black dresses get wheeled out, a pair of boring mid-height heels, and an oh so risque neckline gets slashed into the top of a dress. Yawn yawn yawn. Dressing up for any occasion should be about fun and japes! Stop thinking about what will cinch your waist in or deflect from your big thighs and wear whatever the hell makes you feel happy and look amazing.

In this vein I have decided to start plundering some of the best date-worthy looks from my favourite movies, starting with Rachel out of Blade Runner. Now, admittedly, I watched half of this on a tiny telly at ATP back in November, and the rest of it yesterday afternoon, but I can firmly say that style wise this is one of the best films I have ever ever <em>ever</em> seen. Rachel's sharp retro-futuristic look is to totally die for.

<a href="http://nightmaresandboners.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/bladerunneroutfits.tiff"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-604" title="Sean Young Blade Runner Shirt" src="http://nightmaresandboners.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/bladerunneroutfits.tiff" alt="" /></a>

See? Even as someone who doesn't normally wear shoulder pads I am salivating over that suit. Although the steep lines and close cut may seem hard to handle, there's nothing better than the savvy cut of a tight skirt to make you swing your hips as you walk. Here are some pieces to take Rachel's razor clean tailoring from the celluloid world into date territory:<br />

As for the make-up, well, ok, there's a lot of it, but hey, if it's a first date 'look don't touch kind of thing' (I hear they happen...) then you are totally in luck.

<a href="http://nightmaresandboners.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/rachel1.tiff"><img class="size-full wp-image-607 aligncenter" title="rachel1" src="http://nightmaresandboners.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/rachel1.tiff" alt="" width="470" height="420" /></a> <br />Thick brows, dark smudged eyes, and flushed cheeks provide a striking backdrop for the most delectable scarlet glossy lips. Just grab the items below and start working on your best thousand mile stare.

So there you go, no LBDs, nude lipstick, or control underwear, just pure genetically engineered hotness!! Now all you have to do is get out the hairpins and anchor down those ginormous victory rolls...<br />]]></description>

Recently I was googling how to get rid of lovebites (aka hickeys) and came across a mine of confusing, contradictory advice. Some people swore by ice-packs and tea bags. Others by  toothpaste, arnica cream, or hot compresses. Some people even recommended making them worse so you could pretend that you had a real injury (these [...]]]></description>
