Q: okay, my friend gets her songs on her ipod for free and i cant get in touch with her to ask her how. so does anyone know what webstie you go to and all that stuff to get the songs put on for free?
please help!
i get songs for my ipod for free too. all you need is to download a program that lets you download music for free

many people use kazaa, but I dont like it because its totally filled with spyware and pop up ads.

i use win mx. there're no pop up ads or things that'll give you viruses or parasites.
http://www.winmx.com/

try it, and once you download the songs, you just need to upload them onto your ipod by using a music program like windows media, or real player(i use that)

hope i helped!

Q: I was just watching the Britney & Kevin: Chaotic series and I saw that while they were doing Britney's makeup, they used some kind of concealer stick pencil thing to cover up her mole...I was wondering if anyone knew what it was called and where I can get it? -thanks
i'm not sure if there is a specific item you can use to conceal your moles, but I kno what you can do to hide them.
first just use your skin tone foundation on the area where your mole is. then use a concealer on the mole to make it look less noticible. and then use blush to even it all out.

you can buy all these products at your local drugstore like duane reade, or target or walmart.

Q: what are pilate?
it's just this exercise work out thing. it's a little like yoga, but it helps to tone your muscles and stuff, and it also makes you more flexible. it's really cool, and it keeps your body in great shape

Q: i made out with my boyfriend last night. could i be pregnant? please reply quickly because i am so worried!
noooo

it's impossible to get pregnant just by making out. millions of people make out every day. you only get pregnant when a guy's sperm enters your vagina or uterus. if his penis wasn't in your vagina, and if you didnt have sex, then you definately wont get pregnant

Q: I what to become very skinny because i like this guy and he only looks at the skinny gurls!!! Its like im not even there!! like all me friends say im normol for my age! i dont like so! Im like so fat. they say im not fat atall do i what to go on a starvation deit but my friend say NOOO! but i really like that guy~ I WHAT TO BE SKINNY!!!
Court
i used to be bulimic and anorexic, like half a year ago. first i would stick my finger down my throat after i ate dinner. n then i started doin it more often. and when i started losing weight, i started eating less and less. and whenever i ate, i would throw it all up. :(

dont be like that because if you want to change yourself for this guy, it isnt worth it. no one can be anorexic/bulimic their whole life, and when you stop being that way, you'll gain the weight back and even more.

it's not healthy, and if you become anorexic or bulimic for too long, your body will be extremely vulnerable, and you might even die

and even if you do go out with the guy, he might dump you for another skinny girl. and when that happens, you'll soo regret having the eating disorder. and it's harder to heal from the disorder than it is having the disorder

hope you make the right decision

Q: HELP! I"m breaking out on my chest, back, and face. I have graduation coming up in less than 2 weeks and i'm wearin g a strapless dress. i need something to get red of my acne that will do it fast with out alot of irritation. WHAT SHOULD I USE?!
definately proactiv. after i used it for 2 weeks or maybe less, my skin cleared up soo much.
but sometimes it might take 1-2 weeks for the product to ship to your home, so if you dont have much time, then try using clearasil ultra for your face. i use oxy acne face wash for my back, and it really helped to clear up my back in a week. i dont kno what you can use for the acne on your chest, but oxy acne face wash will probably also help to clear it up

:)

if you need more help, just ask me cuzz i kno a lot aboutt getting clear skin

Q: ok well i really want my hair chemically straighted but all ym friends say it is really really bad for you. i kno its kinda true but i hate my hair! like whatever i do it wont get straight. becasue i have really wavy hair its not curly its just like wavy and i hate it! i have a really good straigtner but it still dosnt get my hair straight. so i was wondering how chemically straigtning works.

like how much does it cost?
will it hurt?
how long will it last?
and like other things like that so help me please and thankyou!!
i got mine chemically straightened twice already, and I'm gonna do it a third time in a few months. i kno it's bad for you, but it's not like THAT bad. I just have some split ends, but other than that, my hair's pretty decent.

When i did it in china, it costed like 34 u.s. dollars, and when I did it in the u.s, it costed like 250 dollars. wow. and it was sooo much better when I did it in china too!!

it actually DOES hurt. like when they pull the hair down, they pull it really hard, and it feels like someone's just yanking on your hair. and sometimes the hair salon ppl suck at handling the straightening iron, so it burns your scalp.

the straight hair usually lasts for 6 months - 1 year. for my hair, the bottom is like straight and all, and since hair is still growing out, it's really frizzy at the top and stuff

i think you should try getting it chemically straightened cuz it'll look really nice and all.

Q: I recentley bought an iPod.
I only have 44 songs on it, and I can't think of any more songs to add! Mostly all the songs I have on there are emo/rock. Im looking for some good songs that are in the Indie and Techno genre. Thanks!
oooo cool, I have an ipod tooo, it's a green minii...

anyways, I don't really listen to techno, but there's this new techno song that I think is really good. it's called technologic and it's from daft punk. I hear the song everyday cuz it's the song for an ipod commercial, and it was also playing in an OC episode a few weeks ago

sry i cant be of more help, but I hope you'll like the song :)

Q: do guys like... care about a girls body size... like i have c boobs and a big but and my bellys flat... but im not like 100 % thin... so what are guys' expectation in a girls bodies?
you're about the right size. many guys like hour glass figures, meaning a body with a big chest, small waist, and a big butt/hips. Even if your belly might be a little fat, I dont think many guys will care because atleast you've got big boobs and a big butt. and if you dont like the shape of your stomach, you can always try sucking in when you're around hot guys.
stop worrying about yourself, you're fine the way you are :)

Q: what are some good hair dye products that last long? i tried dyeing my hair a dark brown but it faded(to a light brown) in barely 3 weeks. Suggestions?
loreal paris hair products are excellent. I used loreal feria to put highlights on my hair, and they've lasted for a long time, without even fading. so just try it, and if that doesnt work, then you can try clairol. I dont kno much about it, but I think it's good

:)

Q: does getting your belly button pierced hurt? like be honest im scared if i get it done its gunna hurt really bad! and do you really have to wait 6 months for it to heal..
I got mine like 2 days before the beginning of 2005, and I lovee it. when I got it, I was really nervous and scared too, but dont worry. the whole process took less than a minute, and I only felt pain for a few seconds. afterwards it might feel stingy, but other than that, you'll be totally fine.

the guy that pierced my belly button said that it normally takes like 3-6 months for your belly button to heal, but sometimes it can take a whole year. but this guy that sold belly button rings at the mall said that it would take like a few weeks. but I trust my piercer more because many websites support what he said.

good luck! I'm sure you'll look totally awesome wit your new belly button!

Q: Ugh...okay I HATE my clothes. I went through this whole phase recently of "I care what everyone else thinks and my opinion doesnt matter". And that includes clothes. I wear the same old crappy polo tees from hollister and stupid jeans and stupid shoes. I just look like every other boring un-unique "prep". Well, i've finally grown out of this. I now want to start dressing like my personality which is edgy, unique, and artsy. I like rock/emo/indie music if it helps? I'm looking for some fashion tips (example...stuff like wearing your belt to the side, etc.) And some stores online I could check out to help me dress more "edgy". Also, i dont have alot of money. How can i rock out a plain polo? Any hair ideas? Makeup ideas? I hate dressing "preppy" when inside im not like that. THANKS!
if you wanna dress "edgy", then yellow rat bastard is definately the store for you. it's so awesome, and the clothes are really great for your style.
hot topic is another store that sells edgy/punkish clothes and hot accesories, so you can check that out.
also spencer's gifts is a good place. it doesnt sell a lot of clothes, mainly large t shirts with funny and maybe perverted pics/words on the front, but that store is really cool and it's kinda like hot topic, but more funny.

if you need advice on clothes or fashion, I'm here for you cuz I lovee clothes :)

Q:
I want to buy a coach bag .. but there really exspensive is there anyway to get a real one cheaper ? ... but new (( not ebay)) thanks !
if you want one that is a lot cheaper, you should go to the factory outlet. it's always cheaper there.
my brother went to an outlet mall in upstate ny, n he bought a coach bag for my mom from the factory outlet, n it was like about 200 bucks. but when i when i wanted to get my mom a coach wallet that had the same style n color as the bag, i went to the coach store in the queens mall and the wallet was like 170-190 bucks!! and it was sooo much smaller than the bag too

Q: I need to make a cd for this dance/party. What are some good songs,like hip-hop or something you can dance to? Thanks a bunch.Oh, and by the way, what was that onesong from last year with trick daddy ... ahh i forgot who else and what it goes like. maybe someone knows? thanks a bunch. easy rating. =)
i lovee hip hop

-Nivea ft Lil' Jon n Youngblood, OK
-Daddy Yankee ft Lil' Jon, Gasolina remix
-Ying Tang Twins ft. Lil' Jon, Salt Shaker remix

Q: is there anyway u can naturally make ur breast bigger with out stuffin a bra?


i rate high
unfortunately no
if you're at a young age, like younger than 18, than your breasts are probably still developing. I have this friend whose mother used to be totally flatchested until she was 16, and that's when she got C cups.
how big your boobs will be will depend on your genes. if your sisters, or mother, or other female relatives have big boobs, then you'll most likely have big boobs

my mom told me last time that eating papayas will help make your breasts bigger, but then she also told me that drinking milk will make your skin tone lighter and eating chicken will help you grow taller... lol

Q: I really like supporting charitable organizations, and I want to buy bracelets for the tsunami relief, Livestrong, and breast cancer. I have heard the footLOcker and Sport Chalet sell them. I was wondering if this is true and where else I could fing these bracelets! Thank you!
i dont think footlocker has it cuz I went there recently and i didnt see the bracelets

the body shop has a lot, and they're all pretty hot, but most of them are pretty expensive
http://www.thebodyshop.com/bodyshop/browse/sub_category.jsp?categoryId=cat100002

probably stores like walmart and target will sell them because they sell almost everythingg, and i think you can go to macy's and get some of those "support a cause" jewelry or accessories at the jewelry department

it's awesomee that you care about and support some of the serious problems in the world, some people dont even care

Q: Can you get your belly button peirced at Claire's? i heard that from a friend but i dont think you can. thanks for your help.
nopee, they only pierce ears there, and if you're under 18, you need a guardian to come with you.

i got mine pierced at this body piercing place in flushing... lol... that might sound weird if you're not from nyc

Q: ok i have stretch marks on my legs (15/f) and i was wondering how the heck do i get rid of them? summers comming up and i dont want to be seen in a swim suit with stretch marks on my hip/legs...
please help i rate high
i heard that using coco butter is a great way to get rid of them. so just try rubbing coco butter lotion on places that have stretch marks once or twice a day, and they'll probably fade away or disappear in a few weeks :)

Q: 16/f--I don't have BAD acne, but I have little red bumps on my face (I wash my face twice a day, but I just somehow still get little pimples). As I said, its not that bad and its nothing makeup can't fix. I've been using two different kinds of face makeup (liquid stuff and powder stuff), but I just ran out. I don't want to use the same stuff, but I'm not sure what to use. I'm not that experienced with types of makeup and what they do. Whats the difference between concealer, foundation, compact, and any other face makeup, and what exactly do they do?

Thank you.
concealers are used to help conceal like dark spots, or pimples, or any other flaws on your face. foundation is used help even out the skin tone, and a compact is used to.. hmm.. i'm not really sure, but it can be used to help make you face look less shiny and oily, and make your skin look more even and smooth.

if you're going to wear make up, try buying some that are oil free and non-comedogenic, which means that they wont clog pores. it's better to stop acne before it happens than cover them up for the moment.

Q: Lately my zits have gotten really bad. I try various face washes, alcohol pads, etc. Nothing works and they're getting worse. I don't have the money to go out and buy expensive treatments. Are there any ways to make them go away faster using products I could find at home or products I could buy for not too much money? Thanks I rate 5's.
well.. one thing for sure if that food does NOT make you get more pimples or less. if you eat healthy, then your pimples might clear up better, but that's all. pimples are sometimes caused by stress, so try to relax more, like try yoga.
everyday you should try to clean, tone, and moisturize your face.
I dont know if there are any cheap products that wil really help to clear up your face, but you can try buying things from noxzema and clean and clear. every day afterschool, I apply an astringent from noxzema, and after that dries, and use clean and cear advantage acne spot treatment. it really works cuz I havent had like a huge pimple or anything like that for a really long time. now my pimples stay for only a couple of days or so
