Dear T$ (lol). I'm curious...how do you not sound like a pathetic male when you find out from a friend that a girl you used to date has a column like this one and the only way you think you can get back in touch with her is through this? I've tried calling and writing emails and really want to see her and maybe see if we can go out, but she never answers. I have a feeling you know both the guy and the girl. They seemed to get along pretty well, but things just fizzled. And I've been thinking about this girl for a while. Since that's the case, what do you say I should do? Be the persistent guy that won her over the first time at the risk of my own pride, but for the affection of a one-of-a-kind? Or should I just forget it? You tell me...
Drossos

I'm not quite sure about the "I think you know the guy and girl".. I don't know anyone on advicenators. T$?

But I think you should take the risk, deffinetly. Like you said, the girl isn't answering your e-mails, phone calls, ect. So you have nothing to lose. Even if she truns you down, you'll never have to wonder what the outcome may be. And with the chance that she does- it's not like you'll have to face any public humiliation. Yes, ask her.

my boyfriend and i have only had sex twice.. but he can only last literally like 5 seconds.. how can he last longer?

I'm guessing you're younger than 20? Usually guys who aren't fully mature, still maturing, or not expierenced enough then they don't last so long.

Tip: The reason why he doesn't last so long is because he gets a boner fast and looses it fast. Try and keep him in the mood which is hard when you are ontop of eachother. Make the actual sex movements slower and sometimes do like 2 second brakes when you're in action.

Does anyone where I can buy a fake or offbrand chanel purse? Like the big ones with the chanel logo one. In either brown or black. Under $100.
Thankss.

A good one? No where. A good Chanel Knock-off can run from $150-300. Without knowing where you live I can't give a a good place. But places they will always have them is at places like the Swap Meet, they have on in Los Angeles where I live and they have the most nice fakes I have everseen, however, I refuse to buy haha. Otherwise you best bet for a cheaper one is Ebay or street venders which they have in larger cities downtown (i.e: new york, los angeles, san francisco, san diego).

That purse is from last season so you won't find it any other place but venders or ebay FYI.

How long do you personally keep a tampon in? Like how many hours before you have to change? Also, about how many do you go threw in an average day? Because it seems like i'm constantly changing mine, and its annoying. This is for girls obviously, lol=].

Some people change them everytime they use the bathroom. But that being said, you shouldn't keep them in longer than 4 hours. I change mine every 4 hours or so.

i was looking at the iphone and really really want it.. but my whole family has verizon. is it true that the iphone is only with at&t? and if it is.. does that mean it would cost more for one family member to be in at&t while the rest of the family is in verizon? thanks for any help you can give =]

Yes, it's true. It oly comes with AT&T. Yes, it will cost more because when you call someone from a different company it takes away from your minutes but when you call someone from the same company it doesn't use them. Also, there would be two bills.. one for you and one for the rest of your family. And that bill would be approximatly 40-60 dollars a month plus bill takes. And the phone is like another 400 bucks. It's really pointless to switch just for a cell phone because there is always going to be a cell phone you want. And maybe the iPhone will come to verizone too, just wait.

what mascara should i use if i have straight, medium length lashes?

'cause with my current mascara that a friend gave me, it kinda lifts my lashes but only far enough to stick straight out [because without it slants down] .

how much would your recommended mascara cost & where could i find it?

ps. i hate using eyelash curlers, so keep that in mind.

Lancome and MAC both make great mascaras.

The Lancome brush i use is this one http://www.lancome-usa.com/makeup/mascara.aspx but they are all great, except with the FATALE mascara brush, you have to angle it right or else it gets very clumpy.

As for MAC, I use the ZOOM lash or Fiber Rich.

Alright so when I was thirteen years old I had braces for about a year and a half and got them taken off. It is now bugging me that my teeth aren't straight straight, they're straight, but it doesn't even look like I had braces, because when people have braces they're teeth are uber straight. Is there anyway where my teeth can be a bit straighter then they are right now without having braces? PS I put in my retainer everynight, but it's not helping. I also remembered seeing an ad for invisible retainers to make your teeth straighter. How is that? I'm looking for something that isn't very expensive because my family is on a budget right now.
Thank You!

If you still have the retainer and it's not making your teeth straight then it's not doing the job. Go to your orthodontist and have him check if your retainer isn't brocken or too big/small for your mouth. If it doesn't fit properly then it won't do the job. Ask him about tightening the retainer because that might help.

You're talking about Invisalign. Invisalign is a see-through tooth gaurse which slowly makes your teeth straighter (but works). I know a lot of people who used them, however, if you're on a budget then they are not right for you. They tend to run to $5000.

I have sensitive teeth, and I was born with not enough enamel on my teeth. My mom told me I can't get my teeth professionally whitened because the dentist said it wouldn't be a very good idea for me. I was wonderinng what are the best way to have your teeth whitened when you have sensitive teeth. I tried simply white, oral-b white strips, and crest white strips, but they're not doing a whole lot for me I found this

http://www.amazon.com/Hollywood-Smiles-Plasma-Whitening-System/dp/B000JV39IK/ref=sr_1_1/002-8787740-6845647?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1186081781&sr=8-1

does anyone know how that is or can give me other suggestions...Thanks!

They're right. Teeth whitening takes off even more enamle which will make your teeth even more sensitive. All those products havete sme chemical in them but you probably aren't using them correctly. You have to use them for atleast a month to see results. There are other things you can talk to your dentist about. There are these teeth gaurds that are molded to your teeth and you fill them with whitening paste and you just wear them for minutes, hours, or overnight and I know that those do give you results. I'm not sure what they are called but ask your dentist or research it.

Is there any kind of software or anything that makes it possible to add yourself to another picture (and make it look real) ?

EX: Lets say I have a picture of myself and one of Leonardo Dicaprio (both on the computer) and I want to have us both in the picture, possible or not?

What if I find a picture of him with someone who has a similar body to mine next to him, anything that could just add my head to her body and make it look real?

Silly question, I know! But if there's a possible for it I have to know! Just think of the fun stuff you could do! Haha :D

Yes, you can do it with photoshop and make it look 100% real (don't worry, you're not a freak, i've done it before.) I got my version of photoshop really cheap because I got it from a copy. If you're willing to shell out the money for it, it can run you 100+ dollars depending on what brand of photoshop (Adobe, or a generic brand. Adobe runs really expensive). It's difficult if you don't know how to.

lately, i have been cutting my arm.. because i get really drepressed and, my boyfriend found out. he told me to stop but i cant.. its the only thing that releaves me.

what should i do?
(and im not emo)

I went through a cutting fase around the age of 15. I didn't need a therpist or some councelor to tell me how to stop. Realizing that I had a problem and then thinking about how stupid I was for hurting myself because of the problem made me feel like a total idiot. But I was addicted. So instead of stopping cold turcket which I tried and never worked, I switched from cutting to ruber-bands. I would just snap it against my skin. Then one day, I stopped. It is really mind over matter. Just because you get depressed doesn't mean you have to hurt yourself, because that is how you start to cravings for it. Maybe the depression is caused by an outside source (parents, friends, ect.) and if it is, that is even less of a reason to hurt yourself because all of that you can change by standing up to the issue.

Your question is, what should i do? But you know that everyone here will tell you to "STOP", "see a therpist". You have to be willing to stop.

alright so im on my period had a tampon on... kinda fergot about it caught in the moment sorta thing aha and well now its stuck up there and yeah how should i get it out hah nothing able to grab on to but i know its ther cause its hurting and not down to go to a doctor so please give me some ideas on how to get this out of me...

I know this sounds really gross but.. take a mirror one that is small enough to hold in your hand and large enough to see clearly through. Sit down on the floor/bed and position the mirror so you can see your vagina. This way you can look inside the hole you put it in to see if it is there. It can possibly be far in there (if it is still there) so feel around. If you had sex with it in, it could be pushed up so far that you can't even reach it. Ask the guy you had sex with to reach in there too (you may feel comfurtable with him) because sometimes someone else may be able to reach it.

Unfortunetly if nobody can get it out, try going to a gynocologist. Because the longer it is in there, the greater your chances are for getting TSS (toxic shock syndrome).

Hey, my identical twin and I are 14 and we are looking for a modeling job, we live in the Dallas, Tx area... we are used to being in front of a camera and are very determined. Also...we have dirty blond hair, hazel green/brown eyes, and we are average hight. Thanks!

Before you find an agency, you have to start a portfolio. This is a book/folder of photographs of yourself on photoshoots which you show to perspective agents or agencys- this is called a Go-See. A go see is when you meet agents/agencies/clients in a minimal amount of time and they might measure you, take your photo with a poloroid, and they will look at your portfoilio. I suggest you higher a photographer to take some photographs of yourself and sister (seperatly and for more options, together) in different looks, clothing, makeup, positions, ect. Then choose your favorites, get them printed, and put them into your portfolio. When it's complete, then find agencys/agents REAL ONES and go on some go-see's.


TIP: if anyone but a photographer has you pay them money, it's fraud, don't fall for it. make sure you have a parent present with your photographer because sometimes the cheap kind will go dirty. I use to model and know of such things.

Hello everyone, (14/f)

I really need to fix my eyebrows! I want them more arched but i am not shure if my eyebrows will ever be able to. Heres a picture of basically what my eyebrows look like now if you need an idea:

http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/ap/5dab2197-86f9-4e60-b840-0c0dd2e912fa.widec.jpg

And i want them more arched like this:

http://www.palmbeachpost.com/blogs/content/shared-blogs/palmbeach/streeter/media/photos_fergie2_html_fergie128.jpg

I heard that you can get an arch at home, just by holding up the tip of your eyebrow. I dont think thats true, but is there anyway i get my eyebrows more arched? Hair doesnt really grow on top of my eyebrows to make a shape, so i dont know what to do.

Thanks!

It's not formed by muscle, it's formed by hair. The natural shape that your eyebrow has is always the one that looks best for you. You can change the overall shape of your eyebrows by letting them grow in and either waxing (which i recommend more. and make sure to be done by a pro.) or plucking them into the shape you desire.

14/f.
i have hair like above the edges of my mouth and right beside the corners of my mouth,and under my bottom lip(not alot there just a tiny bit) but for the hair at the corners and above my lips(at the ends) how can i get it to go away? besides shaving because wont that make it grow faster ? and tweezing because it takes to long.and waxing because i cant go get it waxed or buy strips.


mckenna byrn

PLEASE, DO NOT FOLLOW THE ADVICE BELOW. DO NOT SHAVE WHATEVER YOU DO!!!!!!!!!! SHAVING IT WILL MAKE IT GROW FASTER AND DARKER!!

WAX, WAX, WAX. It's quick and though a tiny bit painfull you can't mess up. It's not like your eyebrows where you have to fallow the shave. I suggest you go to a nail/wax salon and get it done. It'll be about 12 bucks max.

i want my hair to be long like miley cyrus.. how can i get my hair to grow faster?? and longer? please help me

She has hair extensions. Nothing is proven to make your hair grow faster. I DON'T RECOMMEND HAIR EXTENSIONS AT ALL. I'm completley against them but in beuty salons like Sally's they sell clip on extensions which are always good with mixing up your hair and can help with your long hair effect.

[view]


ok well i'm about 2 start shave down dere
and idk if i should use a normal racer??? and do i like put lotion after???

Expoiliate the area first or just use a rough lufa. Then shave with a shaving cream. There are some moisturizers that shouldn't be put around the vaginal opening so read the CAUTION on your moisturizer to make sure. They also make "women" moisturizers that are okay to use there.

my boyfriend asked me to marry him but i thought i was under age so i said i cant then he asked to get engaged to me and i dont know what to say
im 15 and hes 16 is it ok or not?

You should always have respect and sympathy to another persons feelings, especially when someone cares about you enough to propose. But you are much to young, and usually (not to sound like a complete downer) doesn't last long. You should explain to him that you are so young you can't make that commitment yet. If you really love him though, and feel like he is the best guy you have ever met and never have feelings for any other guy then you make that commitment with a promise ring. A promise ring is a ring that means when you are ready for engagement/marriage you want to make that commitment with him.

not sure if this is the right category.
I am a golfer and i have the cutest clothes to wear for it. I can't wear them because i sweat too much .. mostly my lower back which drips down and shows around my beltine/below
how do i stop sweating there? or any tricks to help this? and please dont say go to the doctor.
thanks !

There are several products that you can experiement with- prior to the golfing. That way you can get a feel of what you like best.

Try using some antipersperant-deoderant there. I recommend Ban and apply it to that area.

Also you can try some baby powder.

One last thing, when celebebrities are going to special events and wearing tee-shirts or jackets they put thin pads (yes period pads) underneath their armpits. It stick to the clothing and soacks up all the sweat. You can try it for your lower back if it doesn't show.

ok 15/f..if that helps. im not a slut ((for lack of a better word)) right now, but i kinda want to have a slut reputation. I know that sounds totally bad but I kind of do. I don't mind being called a slut or being known as one either, is that bad? or what?

I've never wanted that reputation and never aspired to that, however, I understand what you are talking about. You want guys to want you, and you want girls to be jealous. You want some action and you want people to know your expiercenced. (If any of that you said a no to, then you don't want to be a slut haha)

However, you are 15. And when someone is 15 and get's around a lot your peers will be grossed out a little, and actually be turned off by it in a way. Because once a guy gets some in the "friend with benefit" sort of way, he will always just think of you as a quick fix.

15/f

so since ill be going to highschool, i really want to get extensions to make my hair longer. my hairs a little past my shoulder. but, ive never had extensions or anything, but i dont really want it too much longer, but longer. if you know what i mean. is it expensive?

Please, don't get hair extensions just to fit in at high school.

Hair extensions are bad for your hair. There is the glue-in kind, the sew-in, and clip on. The glue on kind is HELL to take out, my friend had them. And both the glue-in and seew ones make chunks of your hair fall out. If you want to just experiment with extensions buy the clip on kind, I know it sounds cheasy but it's worth it for playing up your hair styles. Plus they are WAYYYYY cheaper. When you have extensions, if it's not human hair which sounds so gross then you can't wash your hair normally and it's harder to manage.

I had extensions for two weeks when I was modeling but I got them for free. Human hair extensions are more expensive, and if you have a more difficult hair type to match it also makes it more expensive. A good extension runs 400+. Just buy the clip ons.
