Q: You know those tops that kinda like.. have a little connected sweater thingie that tie in a knot? Does anyone know where I can find one inexpensively online? Hollister used to have them, but the site no longer carries them. Thanks!

I got mine at the store, forever 21... www.forever21.com - except I dont know if they have it on their site. But you could go to the store. You can also go to Charollete ruse or any other girl store! good luck !

Q: Does anyone know if Gwen Stefani or Jessica Simpson will be doing meet and greets or promotions in the area [NYC, NY, NJ, PA, CT] where you can meet them and get their autograph or w/e.. I've been looking all over and I know that sometimes radio stations and some stores do promos. Thanks!

You just need to be on the look out, your local radio stations and news stations will 100% for sure say something if there is anything going on like that. And you'll most likley hear about it at school and stuff..and try to go on Gwen and Jessicas websites they probabaly have tour info and info that you need.

Q: What do you think are must have items for Spring or Summer? I need more cute clothes for my closet! Thanks!

Hollister, Abecrombie and Fitch, American Eagle are the "must haves" ...everyone loves it!

Q: Im 17 and i know ill be losing my virginity this summer. But apart of me still thinks HE is too good for me. And that im not that beautiful and skinny enough to have sex. Has anyone ever felt this way? How should i get over these feelings?

Yeah, your critical about your body thats all...every girl is. Honestly, the fact that your boyfriend will be getting sex..he wont even cake what you look like naked. He'll just be happy hes finally gonna have sex with you, so yeah! Really, its not like hes gonna stop and be like "I cant do this, your not skinny enough.." So dont worry!!

Q: i am 13/f and i have a boyfriend even though i'm not really supposed to. anyways my little sister who is 10 found out and now she is threatning meand i don't know what to do.i don't want to break up with him. i tryied talking to her but that made it worse! what do i do?

Okay this has always worked for me. My 10 year oldd sister loves to hang out with me, no matter how much she deny's it. Your sister looks up to you, and she wants to be just like you. Has she ever wanted to hang out with you but you said no? Say if she doesnt say anything at all, you'll take her to the movies, or mall with you and your friends. Take her along when you hang out with friends. Sure it might suck..but do it a few times and she'll probabaly shut up. So yeah bribe her and good luck !

Q: okay well i like this guy and he says that he would go out with me next year because we're both going to be in highschool together but he said that now he has to think about it...it's been about a month and he's always been flirting and talkin to me but i don't know if i should wait around anymore...should i wait for him to make up his mind or just move on?

Move on. I think you should have boyfriends now and if in high school, you still feel the same about this guy..go out with him. But you shouldent be waiting around, being lonely...until high school! You should be happy sp go out with guys for now and wait till High school to see what happens..good luck!

Q: I love this guy and im not sure if i should tell him because we r friends and i dont wanna ruin our friendship and we are REALLY close but ya help me please

-very confused

I already answered this, you sent me the question twice =)

Q: I love this guy and im not sure if i should tell him because we r friends and i dont wanna ruin our friendship and we are REALLY close but ya help me please

-very confused

Personally, I wouldent tell him. Get a friend that you trust, and make her ask him if he likes you more than a friend. See I was going to tell my friend I liked him, but I got a friend to ask for me...and it turns out he doesnt like me. But I saved a good friendship, and being friends with this guy is better than having no relationship at all. So yeah, get your friend to get you the details. If he doesnt like you, then act like nothing happened and be friends! if he does, then you can tell him you like him ! good luck!

Q: Does you know a place that I can get layouts for MySpace? I just started an account there and I barely understand it. I just need a good site for layouts. Thanks.

Hey sorry but unlike xanga and stuff, myspace doesnt really have cute layouts but actually there is a site and theres a few ones to choose from...i can prolly find it for you..just send something to my inbox so i find it and dont forget!

Q: ok im really hungry and im home alone. there really isnt alot of food in the house but we have tostito corn chips and i wanna make some kind of dip with them. if you have any easy dip recipes for tostitos with stuff that can be easily found in the house please give me one!! i have alot of mexican shredded cheese but thats really not enough to make a good dip. i have some more stuff on hand..just any dip recipe for tortillas would work. thanks!

Sour cream and top it with some shredded cheese or Sour cream and salsa mixed together makes an awesome dip !

Q: I have a boy friend and my perants are cool with it but then my friend said that he was going to ask me on a date my parents say that I can't date till I drive what should I do

Tell your parents that going on dates is apart of the boyfriend/girlfriend thing. Try to compromsise with them. Ask if you bring a few friends a long with you..on the date, would it be okay? Ask if he comes over to meet you, would that be okay? Try to make a deal with them ! good luck !!!

Q: Im just wonderin, do like a lot of people get messages straight into their inbox??? I hav eonly gotten 1 REAAL question from someone...thats all. Some one else that obviously know me wrote somethin in there but it wasnt a real advice question. Is there somehting i need to know? I mean i do answer many questions...

No, most people on here rarley get questions sent to their inbox. You know why? Well for one, there are so many columnists to choose from. And two, people would rather have as many people as possible answer their questions..rather than one person. You know? So yeah...most people are in the same boat as you(including me). But dont worry, answer lots of questions and someone will ask you something eventually!

Q: ok so i here people saying that they have like hooked up with their bf or gf..but does that mean that tey have had sex?? or kissing or what, because i was answering another question and in it is said that the two people wherent dating but have hooked up....and then they said they were virgins....so wats it mean?

Most likley if a person said "we almost hooked up" Their talking about sex. So yeah hooked up= sex. =D

Q: my bf fingered me and im not sure if he had cum on his fingers before he did. this was last month-feb 9. i got my period feb 28 and i was really worried i was pregnant and i was like soo relieved when i got my period LAST day of feb!! it lasted till i think march 7 or 8. my friend said you can get your period and still be pregnant though. my stomach feels like its getting bigger..i dont know whats up...i took an 8$ test yesterday and it said i wasnt pregnant..but i havent got my period for march yet...im soo worried..helpp...could i be pregnant if the test said no and i had my period last month..and this month i didnt do ANYTHING what so ever?? but it feel s like my stomach is getting bigger!! and it kinda of looks bigger too and i didnt get my period for march...

Your not pregnant. You cant get your period if your pregnant, no matter what. And you did get your period, so its okay. Your just thinking your stomach is bigger when its really not. Dont worry!

Q: I have a large and painful canker sore in my mouth that won't seem to go away. I've tried salt water and o-zone water (water that has anti-bacterial purposes). Are there any other remedies that'll help that I don't need to go and buy stuff for?

I think the best thing you can do is wait it out. Canker sores usually stay for 5-7 days and just disappear I guess. Whenever I have them, I just be careful when I eat and wait it out !

Q: is it true that chocolate makes you break out??? tell me plz! i dont know if to give up chocolate to look better or not!! -i RaTe HiGh-

It depends on the person. For some people, it makes you break out...and for others, it doesn't even affect them. But you should be fine! Because its only if you have lots and lots and lots of chocolate. lol..so dont worry !!

Q: hi i'm 13 and a Christian but i have a bad habit of lying...i know that its really bad like i dont lie big time just like little white lies but they r still bad so do any of u know any bible verses on lying, not lying,how lying is bad and stuff like that? plz help!! ~i rate high~

Okay before I used to swear a lot, and I found this verse that was like you worship God with your mouth, and then you swear with the same mouth. Which is wrong. So think of it this way...you worship God, you tell people your christian with the same mouth you use to lie! Get it?

Q: this guy friend i have, who i like, he always says i smile too much. and so do a lot of my friends. when i was little i always smiled and all my teachers would tell me that, but now my life pretty much sucks, drugs, cutting etc. so i dont get why im smiling so much. i mean its not like i want to, i feel like im lying when i smile. is it bad to smile so much?

LOL no! Just means your always a happy person, just tell your friends and stuff..that you cant help it. Dont worry, You should get help for the drugs and cutting and stuff though.

Q: Ok..i went sorta on this date last night with this guy i have been chatting on line with. My friend has met him so hes no harm. Well that whole night he would try to talk to me and i just didnt talk much. After the date..i got online and he didnt talk to me at all. My friend called me up a few min later and said i was really boring and didnt show my personality. Do you think this guy should give up? Or do you think he should let me have a second chance?

Second chance. I think you should call him up or IM him and tell him how you were nervous, or tell him all the reasons why you didnt talk much. Then ask him if you could go out again ! I'm sure he'll let you have another chance, because you just explained to him why you werent talking a lot. Anyway, you might have something so talk to him about it !
