Q: Hey guys. I'm 15 years old (female) and I'm going to my first party where there's alcohol tonight. I've never done it before, but I've made sure I know exactly how to get home, every other drink is gonna be a glass of water and so on, I've tried to make sure I'm as safe as possible tonight. My question is, what do you wear? From your experiences, what should I NOT wear, and why? Any good tips or advice?
Thank you if you answer this with honest advice and try not to preach.
Don't wear a micro mini my friend had a really bad experience once with a micro. Don't wear something made of shear material or that's really light colured(like white or pastel). Don't Drink to much or you'll end up doing something you will definately regret.

Q: How do you survive a horrible haircut that is short and curly? My hair is shorter than my brothers, and im a girl. Skool is tomorrow and we cant wear headgear. I look like a man, so what do i do?

Q: I have really thin hair that basically does NOTHING. I try to curl it with a curling iron and the curls fall out after two hours, even with hairspraying and all that jazz. I straighten in and that is the best hairstyle I can get, but I get bored of everything my hair does. I want to get a really unique haircut that is straight and would work with thin hair. If you would like to see a picture of me to look at my headshape or anything, heres urls to two pics:

on the right curlier hair http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v96/jenymca/menikdrunkme.jpg

I will take ANY photo examples or ANY suggestions, any anything because I am desperate. I've had the same hairstyle for YEARS and I'm sick of it!! Thanks for any any any help!!
one idea is:
-comb all your 'bang' hair to the front
-take it all in one hand like a pony
-then pull it to the back of your head
-then comb it back so it's slightly puffy
-then pin in place with bobby pins.

For more ideas go to www.gurl.com (my fav website) srry for sounding like a billboard

Q: hey, i was wondering if there was anywhere you could get that bare mineral makeup, or something like it for relatively cheap. i went to sephora.com and it was wiked expensive.
thanks
Try www.urbandecay.com or www.hardcandy.com they are from relatively the same supplier so most of the stuff is the same except hardcandy is for the preppy kind of ppl and urban decay is for the goth/punk/other ppl. And you can mix and match too.

Q: i sweat like all the time! it's really emabarresing to have these huge sweat stains in school. i don't know what to do, i mean deoderant and antiperspirant just don't work. i went to the doctor and there's nothing wrong with me, i just need good deoderant and/or antiperspirant. does anyone know the name of a REALLY good one? thanks!
instead of using deoderant, use baby powder on really bad areas. Then sometimes mix a little sceneted lotion in with a bit of baby powder so it's almost solid then smear like on your arms or something. For the steat stains mix a little windex and water with laundry powder and put on the stain, then after a few minutes wipe off mix ans Wal-la you are clean. then you stick it in the washing mashine. I think you should find advice with a different doctor because it sounds like your sweat glands are working overtime.

Q: flip your head over. Wash your hair. Flip your head over agian. blow dry sections of your hair mostly the bottom though. filp your hair so you shake your head like a punk rocker hehe.

My fav recipe is for Shrimp Curry. I made it up myself one day when I was experimenting.

Firstyou get a ring of shrimp (or a bag) itdoesn't matter as long as you hve a least 50 small shrimps or 40 big shrimps.

Heat up a tabblespoon or so of butter in a frying pan.

Let the butter sizzle a little bit. When it starts sizzleing add a little bit of crushed garlic to the frying pan.

Add the shrimp to the frying pan and cook the shrimp untill almost done then add a whole lot of curry powder, paprika, chile pepper, black pepper, tumeric or any combination of your fav spices but keep the curry powder or it wouldn't be 'curry'.

Easy Version : buy a small jar of curry paste.
cook shrimp, dump the curry paste in with what ever you are cooking the shrimp in and cook untill most of the curry paste is gone add a little water if it's to thick.

Q: Does anyone have any good advice on how to remove candle wax from carpets, wooden dressers, and plastic items? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you have a shag carpet then get and icecube and rub the wax with it. after it freezes get a pair of nail clippers and slowly clip away the wax I guess you can use this for away carpet. Instead of nail clippers you can use: cuticle cutters, sewing scissors, mini- pocket scissors, anything that is small and sharp. For wood if it has varathan on it take a blow dryer and set it on high and blow on the spot of wax untill it's a little soft and then peel it right off, u can use this for the plastic stuff too.

Q: I always have a dream where I am with a bunch of people and then an old man start chasing us trying to talk to us..then I end up running back home ahead of the other people and when I get home my house is totally differnet and isnt my hosue anymore...and I hvae to find like a totally different route to get to my house...and then when I do the other people get there shortly after and its like nothing ever happened.....what5 does it mean...???
If you really believe in the meanings of dreams and that they mean something important LISTEN UP!!!!! The group of people symbolizes being accepted, the running means losing something, the change in the home means that you feel either pressured to do something you don't want to or that you are going through a big change that you feel forced to do. Basically your dream signifies a feeling of being unwanted or pushed it something I hope I helped :P

Q: I am going crazy. I get embarassed so easily! School started on Monday. The only class I have with my boyfriend Brandon is first period. The teacher told us that we are going to have to do presentations a lot and I am so scared. When I get embarassed my face turns BRIGHT red and it doesn't get better for a while. I can feel it getting red and then I think about it which makes me feel even more stupid and my face gets even more red! I'm so nervous and I don't want to look stupid in front of Brandon. I can't get in front of the class without my face turning red. I can't even answer a question without getting embarassed. What are some ways that I can not be so obvious or cover it up!? Is there make-up, a certain way to breathe, or ANYTHING!? I'm so desperate. I need help!
breathing slowly helps. You can also ask the techer if you can either have friend precent whatever it is or get a freind to sit oh the ground in front of you for support that helps. for breathing just slowly breath in through your nose and out through your mouth and try to visualize something that calms you down or creeps you out so you forget about being nervous. Anyway just have fun with any thing you do.

Q: Sometimes... I feel so chubby.

Well, like most young teenagers, I'm obsessed with my weight and staying healthy. Actually, it's not exactly my weight... It's just that I look kind of fat. I'm 14 years old... I stand at 5' 1" and I weigh just about 105 pounds... I never thought that I was over-weight (but am I?)... It's just I look fatter than how much I really weigh. Is that even normal? Does that even make sense?(o.O) My friends are always telling me I look fine and that I'm "skinny" but I know they're just saying that so I won't feel bad. A lot of my friends weigh more than me and are taller than me... but they look more... normal. Sometimes I just think I'm insecure... or something... Should I exercise more often? Should I try to lose just a little weight? Or am I just going crazy?

Thanks...
you are absolutly positively not 100% not fat. When I was little I too suffered from what some people call 'shortie syndrom' where you look bigger because you shorter then average. If your only 14 you shouldn't be worried about your weight my god your only 14. When I was younger I was about 115 pounds and I thought I was the fattest thing on the planet. I think that (and i'm trying not to get all shrinky on you) but the media is to blame and i know you have probably heard this a billion times but love yourself for you and not what people say of you.

Q: I met this guy at work about two weeks ago, i think hes very nice and hes hot.We hit eachother playfully at work.
He goes to my school,hes a senior and im a sophmore-i never see him around school thought.
Last weekend during winter formal we freak danced & i felt like he was all over me when we danced.
Im startibg to like him & i keep thinking about him a lot.I dunno what to do, he has so many girls around him, they'e all gorgeous.I dont think i have a chance.My friend says i do have a chance with him.How can i tell if he likes me.What can i do form him to get to know me better. i dont want him 2 think im being annoying or obssesed.

::please help::
This guy sounds,dare i say it, a dink. He probably just wants to be with you for the attention. Believe me their are guys like that at every school. You should instead go out with a guy who like you and only you, that only has one girl around him (which would be YOU) thats the kind of realationship that last longer then one dance and a few flirting sessions.
