about

Long story short, I'm from Los Angeles, went to an amazing school, left the US and moved to the Middle East. I've been backpacking around Europe and the Middle East on and off since August 2013.


Would you like to converse? Here's my Forum




Quite frankly, I'm sarcastic way more than I should be. Read a few of my answers, and you'll see that I am not totally mean to anyone.

Type correctly or go home. Yes, that is an ultimatum.

Cocoa butter and sea butter both nourish skin and help stretch marks/scars fade.

how do you get picked to be the featured collumnist? and if you are the featured collumnist alot does that mean you are close to becoming a level 2 mod? like ive been a featured collumnist twice in what has seemed to be like the last month or so

It's semi-random. No, it has nothing to do with becoming a level 2 moderator. You will proabably never be a level 2 mod.

How can you tell if one of your contacts is torn? As soon as possible would be appreciated. Thanks!

Well, generally, if there's a rip in the contact or it's in 2 pieces, it's going to be torn. Contacts shouldn't have creases anyway.

http://advicenators.com/column.php?u=aDoRkAbLe_Co0kIe_ thats my advice column. I live in Middle Tennessee and really the only place of opportunity around here is nashville...but i would have no idea who or what to look for! how do i find where the agents are and what not? and would i end up singing country music? because thats not at all what i like. I mean if thats all they offered sure i would do it but i am more of a R&B type girl. I'm sure i'd be good at singing either one but R&B is more my style. Somehow I feel like I am going about this all the wrong way.

An agent would take you if you are good, and likely to get a contract. You can probably find them in the phone book or look on google.

only search advicenators.com


Maybe you'd sing country, I don't know. That's up to your agent.

Ok, my best friend is having a pool party at the end of the school year. I know it's far off but there are supposed to be a TON of people there. The problem is, I don't have much of a chest. I mean there's something there, just not alot of something. I want to wear a bikini but I don't know what type of top is gonna make my chest look a little more curvy. Help, I will rate 5's.

Can anyone give the info on the song "Colors of the Wind" from Pocahontas? Like what the range and voice type it is?

Alto one to a mezzo soprano. Why don't you just listen to it?

Hey! I have read a few of your replies and you seem like you know what your talking about so...I have a question (obviously)
I am interested in bettering my voice..in my opinion its pretty good already considering i've had absolutely no lessons except for chorus (which over the years shouldnt even have been called that but anyways...) my dream ever since i was little has been to sing...I want to get signed to a label and attend award shows etc etc. but before all of that can happen..I feel like i need to "train"...do you think training will help me reach my goal at all or what? I mean i would love love love looove to get lessons...and become famous and such...but I dont know...would lessons benefit me? is there anything you could teach me that would help?

Lessons benefit anyone who takes them! What general area do you live in? You should get an agent if that's at all possible, and they can help you sing professionally. It is not a fun job, though. The biggest thing I can tach you is to breathe correctly. Get a straw and sip in through it. Your chest or shoulders should not move at all. You waist/back should expand. What is your column name so thatI can alert you if I have any updates?

Recently my sister got a game for her PS2 that let's you sing. I've played it a few times and it got kind of addicting. I've done really good on it and I think I actually kind of have a good voice. My parents and sistre and brother say I have a good voice and so do the rest of my extended family. I think it needs some work. But now I was thinking about it and I want to get someones opinion who will be honest with em about it that's not like in my family or one of my friends. Can anyone tell me where to find someone who won't try not to hurt my feelings and just be plain honest? EVen anyone on here?

ok i am doing P.E this term and in 3 weeks i have to go swimmin. even when i am on my period. thing is i know that if i wear a tampon it wouldnt matter right? but see my problem is that my mom wont let me. she told me because it will make my cherry pop and it isnt supposed to pop until i am merried.(or so she says) but if i dont dress out and put an effort into swimmin then my grade will go done everyday by a letter grade. so basically (since we got 3 wekks of p.e) it can be possible that get an F and fail P.E completely.. and another thign at my school is that the guys swim wit the girls. there isnt a speration thing.. someone help me.. i dont about sneakin them bc i dont know hoa to use them..

p.s.

You can't have your period when you're in the water. The blood will not come out. Just in case, though, see if you can get a bathing suit with shorts attached.

If your mom honestly expects you to wait to have sex until you are married, she is kind of naive anyway.

There's this talent show coming up and I want to sing in it. I've been singing for a long time in a choir and I've been very well-trained, but one thing is that I'm worried about. I don't know whether I have a good voice. When I listen to myself singing I think I sound good, but I recorded myself on a tape recorder (mind you, not the professional kind). It sounded too horrific to describe in words. And I know it's not because I'm not trained/have no vocal technique/straining/no breath control and/or not breathing correctly/no support/whatever, because I am none of those things. It's just the sound of my voice. I heard that tape recorders don't record accurately and everyone things they sound bad on a recorder, but I'm still worried that I have a bad voice. At the talent show, it would be very embarassing if everyone thought I had a terrible voice and no one has the gut to tell me, so I need to know before this happens. Is there any other way I can find out what I really sound like without expensive professional tools? I don't want to go to my friend and say "Let me sing for you and tell me if I'm good or not" because I can never know whether my friend is being honest or just doesn't want to hurt my feelings. Any ideas? Sorry this was long, but I need help.

Choir directors don't take just anybody. You have to have a good ear and good pitch to be in choir. I can help you without ever meeting you, or hearing you sing. Please view my column to see other music questions I've answered. The tips in there are generic and will help you.

is it true tampons make your cherry pop? and does it mean you're not a not a virgin anymore?

Yes, it will pop your cherry, and no, it doesn't make you lose your virginity.

My best friend just got kicked off our school's cheer squad cause she failed math. This came as a complete surprise b/c the coach approved her when she showed the coach her report card. The principle informed my coach failing a class wasn't allowed if you play a sport so my coach told my friend to turn in her uniform she was off the squad. My coach said she ran into the bathroom and cried and refused to come out. ( She was also supposed to come home with me and spend the night after the game )

I feel horrible right now; me and her were such good friends on the squad and we dont have any classes together. I called her after the games I cheered at today but brother said she wasn't home. I personally don't know what to say to her; I'm bad at this sorta stuff. We have to wear our uniforms on game days and I'm afraid that will make her feel really bad to see us in uniform. What should I do? Please Please guys, I really need help.

Usually, you aren't kicked right off the team. I know at my school, you get 5 weeks to bring up your overall GPA. If you don't, the you are gone for good. See if this policy can quickly be implemented in your school. I wish you both the best of luck.

does eating fruit make u fat? since its just like, putting more food into your body?

No, fruit doesn't make you fat. It can impact your digestive system if you eat too much, though.

im on a diet, no im not starving myself, im eating healthily, cutting out the junk food.
My problem is i have big legs, like fat thighs and lower leg.

is there anything i can do to reduce the size a bit?
i want top loose atleast a couple of inches of fat on each leg any ideas?

i no you cant excercise to target one particular area but i need excercises that will benefit that area as well as the rest of my body

Dance is always good. So are squats. Actually, you can exercise to target one part of your body. Please improve your typing :).

Okay, well I'm not that good of a singer, and I know that. But, I have a beauty pageant coming up, and you have to have a talent, and singing is all I can come up with. I can also tumble pretty well, so idk if I should do that or not. I have a round-off back-handspring, standing back-handspring, round-off back-handspring series, and standing back-handspring series.
So I have 3 questions:
-Should I sing, or should I tumble?
-If I choose to sing, what are some tips to help an amature?

and BTW, the talent has to be 2:30 seconds long.

Thank you so much if you can help!

You should tumble, tumbling is more impressive than singing, as sad as that is. Read my column for singing tips, they're posted there.
