Q: So, tomorrow it's decades day at my school and my class has the 60's.
What did hippies where for shoes? lol, I have my whole outfit together but I don't know what to wear for shoes.
Thanks!
Hippies usually didn't wear shoes at all. But you can wear some of the sandals and other shoes shown here: http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4ADBR_enUS232US233&q=hippie+shoes&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi

Q: my cat's about 8 months old, she's a girl. she's been whining for the past two days, nonstop. meowing so freaking loudly... she breaks down and starts rolling around on the floor and has these convulsions..., waiting for a male cat. we have a male cat, but he's older and castrated.
i'm supposing she's in heat...?

how long does this usually take and is there anything a person has to do to help her..?
Yes. She's in heat, and heat in cats usually lasts anywhere from 14-21 days. Heat occurs every 3 weeks in autumn and early winter. It'll pass, and you don't need to help her.

Q: my friend has these feel comfortable shoes, but i dont know where she got them! there kind of like ugg slippers, you know the ones you can wear outside, except they have these strapes on both sides od the shoe, and their brown, real soft and fuzzy on the top, but it has a hard soal.
does anyone know where i can find these kind of shoes, and how much they cost?
I thought this one might be it:

Umm... the person below me is right. It IS "Get Up" by Superchic(k). Here's the iTunes link to the song: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=5360150&s=143441&i=5360128

Hope I helped.

Q: There is a picture that the guy I like friend drew for him. (It's a re-enmactment of the Last Supper as him as Jesus) and there is a girl next to him. The thing really bothering me is that I dont know who this girl is. It might me be but I have glasses or his sister which makes sense. Then there is a girl who he's friends with that she could also be.

here's the pic:



I need advice!
Sorry, but no one but him could really answer this. I know you wanted to see if anyone could help you, but I'm not a psychic (contrary to popular belief), and I'm sure no one else is. The best way to find out is to ask the guy "who's the girl in that picture you drew?". There's really no way around it.

Q: im dating this guy whos two years younger than me. Is that bad? OPINIONS PLEASE
Depends. If you're like 26 and he's 24, it doesn't matter much since you both have matured and are at the pretty same level now that you're older. If you're like 15 and he's 13, I would see some problems with that since you both are so young and haven't gotten to each other's level yet.

Q: I searched it up but google gave me craqzy results: Where do mascara and/or eyeliner come from?

I was walking pass this couple in the park and they're argument was so funny!

"By the way, you did not just waste another amount of black oil coming from the endangered species of whales to darken your eyes again, right?"
http://www.healthy-communications.com/mascaraingredients.html
Mascara used to made of coal dust and petroleum jelly, but now it's made of carbon synthetic resins that sometimes contain beeswax. IT IS NOT made of bat poo, which some people will tell you. The link I gave you is the ingredients for natural mascara.

Q: okay this sounds wierd but.. my stomach makes really wierd noises during the day at school. I eat a bowl of cereal before school.. by 845 my stomach makes loud noises, itll do that for the whole first period, then second and third im okay and then 4th period it does again, my mom says its like gas or somethign? i dont know but is there anyyway to get it to stop doing that its embarrassing.
That growling sound is actually air in your stomach and bowels being moved around by peristalsis and gurgling just like it would in a pipe. Fill your belly up with food. Less air in your tummy equals less noise.

Q: Alright, I'm the one who asked about itunes and a cd with a dvd with it.
Well someone told me since i put the dvd in, and windows media player pops up it means i prob
ably don't have it as my default player.

well how do i set Itunes as my main default player?


and if i can do this, make it play the music videos on itunes instead of windows media player then can i put the music video on my ipod
ofcourse it'd hafe to be a ipod with video well can i?
THanks and sorry if this is long!
Go to Edit then to Preferances. Click the Advanced tab then click General. Make sure "Use iTunes as the default player for audio files" is selected. But you can't import DVD movies onto iTunes. You can import them from LimeWire, or you can buy them on iTunes, but you can't import from DVDs.

Q: has mandy moore and shane west gone out as gf and bf?? in real life

No. They only starred together in "A Walk to Remember".

Q: okay so i know the song is called robbery but who sings it? it goes like this "all my thugs cock your knives like this, shoot a b**** and don't you miss" and " your money, your keys, get on yo f-in knees." thanks!
The artist is 50 Cent featuring Lloyd Banks, Prodigy, Young Buck and Super Loc.

Q: What brand of eyeglasses are really popular right now with teenagers? And brands that aren't ridiculously high please. I'm going to get a pair for my cousin for christmas. She really wants new glasses but her parents only pay for them once every two years.

If physical appearance helps, she has sort of a diamond shaped face, black curly hair and light bron eyes, and sort of a golden brown skin tone. She's really pretty.

She's 15. She's artistic, she draws and she's an amazing singer and actress.

Can anyone help me?
Candie's eyewear is really popular right now, and so is Vogue eyewear. They're both super stylish, and come in a variety of shapes and colors. If you want to spend a tad more, try D&G eyewear. I know it's a bit expensive, but the styles are cutting edge.

Q: this isnt really advice.
but i just wanted you to know that i think you are really bad at giving advice. and i hate your attitude.
how old are you?
Screw you. I'm 13, and give awesome advice. I don't know what kind of crack you're on. I'm actually very insulted that you have the audacity to say this! Have I answered any of your questions? Who exactly are you? WHO ARE YOU? It is really bugging me that you can criticize me like this and I JUST DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE. PLEASE just message me or something back.

Q: What dose shea butter do for the body?
"Shea butter can be found in many high end moisturizing skin products. Shea butter is known for its skin softening effect. It is also used in hair conditioners to add and maintain moisture in dry brittle hair, in addition to revitalizing and preventing breakage."
It also helps with stretch marks.


Q: i heard that hungarians and koreans were once related in the past, is that true?
I don't think so. Hungary was only ever affiliated with eastern European nations and peoples, like the Turks, Germans, Slovaks and Romanians.

Q: sooooo, i need to buy a new straightener but i dont want to spend more thatn 40$ on one.
right now i have a conair one and its okay. i need to find one that straightens my hair really good becaue my hairs course and frizzy.
I was going to recommend Tigi Bedhead hair straightener, but it goes over your price limit. You can try Revlon, it's the second one down in the left-most column: http://search.ulta.com/cosmetics/Tigi%20Hair%20Straightener

Q: whats a reliable website that i can get realtones and ringtones from?
You can use iTunes to turn songs that you buy into ringtones, and I hear ringtones.com is pretty good too.

Q: Is there a perfume similar to Paris Hilton's Heiress that isn't as costly? I want to ask for it for Christmas but I don't want my family spending alot of money. Thanks.
Victoria's Secret "Love Spell" is very similar, only a tad stronger. Here's a link to the prices:

Q: so i grew up in the 90's and i cant remember any of the good 90's songs but i miss them lol. so, help please? any good songs from the 90's til like now would be good. thankss =]
I didn't know a lot of people who grew up with rap music, but here:
"Gangsta's Paradise"- Coolio
"Check Yourself"- Ice Cube
"Sucker MCs"- Run-DMC
"Nuthin' But A G Thang"- Snoop Dog
"Juicy"- Notorious B.I.G
That's all I could think of. Hope I helped!

Q: 17/F
Does birth control help to clear up your acne? If so, how long does it usually take? I've only been on mine for about 12 days and I've found my acne to be getting worse.
It depends. A minor side effect of most birth control is increased acne, but I know that brand of birth control, I can't remember the name of it, is supposed to clear up acne.

Happy 2008! My name is Dana for those of you who don't know, and I obviously love to give advice, because if I didn't, I wouldn't be here. I will pick at anyone who doesn't bother to capitalize their "I"'s or the beginnings of sentences. Proper grammar and spelling is very important to me. bcuz it Just loooks soooo sloppie when u type lyke this. So a word to the wise, and for the majority of you that it doesn't apply to, think about it, and watch yourself. Second of all, I will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever write something that is not true. So therefore I am always right. So stand down and accept it. (Note: that also means that my "opinions" are actual facts. At least the ones I bother to write.)

Never ask me anything about how fat you are or love life. Cliched, I know, but I am heartless when it comes to the truth. If you don't know what to do with your cheating boyfriend that you still love, go ask someone else since I could not care less. Seriously.

Have a nice day!
Love,
missbananafontana

WARNING:
My answers will be based on a preppy lifestyle. I am the clean, preppy sort, like the person who looks clean and classy and doesn't really notice anyone who isn't, regardless that some weirdos think that preppy people hate them. Also, if you wonder about the corrections on the answers I give, no worries; they're just simple corrections to those who don't know where to put a period, or that they have to capitalize the beginnings of sentences. Please don't be offended.
