I need something like this: (its a portrait editor)

but I don't want to pay so much for it! 50 dollars...
anything free? online? (link)
Do you have photoshop? Because I looked at the before & after photos that they showed on that website, and honestly I can do the exact same thing with Photoshop, and it doesn't take hours like the website claims. Sure you have to play with the airbrushing a little before you get it perfect, but once you know what you're doing, it literally takes 2minutes to airbrush a photograph.


I really need my hair to grow because of this fashion show I've been chosen to be in.How do I get it grow VERY fast??please i need that ASAP.its a emergencyyyyy .thanks in adavnce! (link)
If you were booked for a fashion show, then they are already well aware of what your hair looks like. If they have a problem with your hair, they will fix it themselves, with extensions or wigs or styling it a certain way or whatever. There is no magical hair growth product, so there's no point in stressing over it.


How can I go out looking scene but not being over the top? FOr example; imagine seeing someone going around dressed like audrey ketching.. that's a tad over the top. How can I dress scene but not be way too ott?

thanks (link)
People who are TRULY scene, and not just poseurs trying to fit into a stereotype that they think is "cool", wear whatever they want, whatever they think is nice or comfortable, regardless of what other people think of it. They dress for themselves, not other people. They don't try to mold themselves into a pre-determined image. So stop getting other people to tell you what to wear, and wear whatever you feel comfortable in.


does anyone know a song about a girl who is in love with this boy but he's gay? i want a song like that, if you could help id be very appreciative (link)
I've got some I've written, but I don't have any uploaded versions that I could send you to listen to.

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head that is even remotely close is a bit backwards, more about a gay guy who finds out that his ex-lover is now in a straight relationship. So it's different, but still the same sort of situation.

has anyone adopted a horse from pmurescue.org? if so, are they sound and good tempered horses? also, how did the adoption proccess go? about how long did it take? im considering buying a foal from pmurescue.org, but i wanted to make sure it is a good place to adopt.


thanks! (link)
First of all, can I just say THANK YOU for thinking about saving a PMU foal. You're a wonderful person for considering it.

I can't tell you how the adoption process works, or tell you how long it takes, because I don't know. I CAN say that the horses are WONDERFUL! I had a friend who bought a Belgian-cross a few years back, and he turned out to be a former PMU foal. Buddy was a WONDERFUL horse - comfortable to ride, affectionate, sound, and talented.

Most PMU foals are part draft horse. Draft crosses are known for their easy-going temperments, comfortable gaits, good bone structure, and usually good feet. I've known draft-crosses who have excelled at practically every discipline, from eventing to barrel racing. The other common breeds used for PMU horses are Quarter Horses and Paints, both of which are EXCELLENT horses - they didn't become America's most popular breed of horse for nothing.
I checked the site & noticed that some of the foals are Thoroughbreds. I know that off-the-track Thoroughbreds (as mine is) can tend to have soundness issues due to being forced to race before their bones were fully developed, but I really don't know how the breed's feet and legs would normally hold up if given the chance to develop fully before being ridden. They ARE more highstrung than most horse breeds, though, so take that into consideration before choosing to adopt a Thoroughbred. Even if you've formed an incredibly close bond with your horse, a scared Thoroughbred can still get out of control every once in awhile. But if you have experience with hot-blooded horses, then that probably wouldn't be a problem for you. I'm just saying that Thoroughbreds aren't for everyone (although I personally love them).

I have always wanted the opportunity to rescue one of these foals, so I think that as long as you have the proper experience and patience needed to work with a young horse, or a good trainer who is willing to work with you and your new horse, then go for it!

EDIT: Good luck, & don't hesitate to ask if you ever have any questions!


ok i get enough sleep and everything like that. but i still have dark circles under my eyes!! i want them to fade away but they won't. im a very self concious person. is there any ideas how i can help these dark circles get away? please, help (link)
The advice that the person below me gave works for puffiness around your eyes, not for dark circles.

Your dark circles are probably genetic, which is why they won't go away. All I can give you for advice is to say that you should invest in a good coverup stick & blend it into the area around your eyes.


ok so everytime i get near my kitten she bites me alott. and really hard. i dont know what to do. liek if i just want to pet her she'll just bite me really hard out of nowhere. she doesnt liek me. and i try to be nice to her. like she trys to control me. how can i let her know that i want her no be nicer, and that im the boss? thansk alottt. (link)
Just because your kitten bites you, it doesn't mean that she doesn't like you. I have a new kitten as well, and he bites. He is a very sweet cat though, so he's not being mean. Kittens bite because they are teething, and also because it is their way of playing.


well im kinda concerned because i looked up my ideal weight range, and while im still in the range, im on the heavier side. this only concerns me because i have a really small frame. the thing is is that i dont have hardly any body fat, but im at the gym pretty much every day and im assuming that most of the added pounds are muscle mass. i still cant help but wonder if im over weight. do i still need to worry about losing a few pounds?? (link)
Not everyone can go by those types of ideal weight charts. Everyone's body is different. Those charts don't take into consideration things like bone structure, muscle mass, etc. If I were you, I wouldn't worry about it. It sounds like you were perfectly happy with yourself before you saw the numbers on the chart, and being happy with the way you look is all that matters. Ignore the chart.


is there any site where i can get free music? for example, music such as rock, indie, screamo, metal, poppunk, etc. (link)
go to www.purevolume.com
A lot of indie & unknown bands will put up their songs to be downloaded for free.
I have discovered a LOT of amazing bands on that site over the years, & some of them have even gone on to become quite famous (Fall Out Boy, Cute Is What We Aim For, The Spill Canvas, etc.). It's really fun to find a great new band & then watch them get famous.
Plus, sometimes they'll post early demos when they're starting out, & then you won't be able to find those songs anywhere else once they "make it big", so it's always fun to have something most other people dont have.


I'd love to be linked to a site that can teach me the basics of guitar playing.

I haven't purchased one just yet because I'm not sure I know the difference between a classical and an acoustic. I understand that they both fall under the acoustic category, but hopefully I'm making sense. Physically, I know what makes the two different from eacother, but could you give examples of songs played with them that I would know of to figure out which I'd be happier with!
xThanks! (link)
One big difference between a classical & a normal acoustic are the strings - classicals have nylon strings that don't hurt your fingers like normal guitar strings do. If you want to master a classical & play it like the spanish type guitar players do, then it's HARD. But if you're just looking for something to play around with & learn some chords & favourite songs & whatnot, then learning to play on a classical is just fine. If you ever wanted to switch to a normal guitar, though, your fingers wouldn't have any calluses built up because of the gentle nylon strings, so that could actually be a drawback, depending on how you want to look at it.


I want to learn how to play guitar. i only have 300 dolars to work with. I want to know weather i should learn to play acoustic guitar or electric guitar first. And i have no idea where to buy it from do if you could give me an inexpencive brand name that would be good. Thanks

(link)
Acoustic vs Electric is really a matter of personal preference. I happen to be a sucker for acoustic guitars, so that's what I bought. If you want something that won't hurt your fingers, you could even try a classical acoustic. They have nylon strings, so they don't leave your fingers feeling sore after you get done playing. If you have any friends who have guitars, see if they'll let you play theirs a bit, so you can get a feel of the different kinds of guitars out there & see if you have a preference.
I'd suggest looking for a guitar made by either Gibson or Fender. And definitely change the strings right away when you get it, because the factory strings are always really cheap.

ADDING TO WHAT I JUST SAID:

Go to this website:
http://www.musiciansfriend.com

And look up Gibson (especially the Epiphones) & Fender guitars. Some of them are wicked expensive, and others fall within your price range. You can get cheaper guitars than that, of course, but you run the risk of getting a cheaply made guitar that won't have a very nice sound. Gibson & Fender are both famous for the excellent quality, which is why I suggested them.
You might also look on ebay as well. That's actually where I bought my guitar. The list price was over $500, but I got it brand new for less than $200.


hey,i need your help ahh.. well ive been wanting a emo haircut so badly.but i really dont know where can i get it, since i live in FL and theres really not much emos around here..so i was wondering where can i get it, because i went to 2 salons.. and they "think" they could cut it like that[cuz i showed them a picture] but i really need help..l0ok i want it like this

http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p256/mariana1992/l_bedbc0b919e94f4996898b1e70635c35.jpg (link)
Where in FL do you live? If you're in Orlando, go to The Wave, which is right across from the Fashion Square Mall & schedule an appointment with Bob, who owns the shop. He's AMAZING with hair.

If you don't live in Orlando, then sorry, I can't help :(


i am thin like 100 lbs and 5'4" (im not anorexic nor look like it) but i am really having a hard time finding jeans for the past year. I am picky but at this point, i don't have a lot of selection. I am looking for designer jeans if anyone knows of any brands that would fit

(rock and republic, joes jeans, lucky brand, sevens, true religion, citizens of humanity, AG, chip and pepper, immortality dont fit me)

paige, frankie b. do fit me but i'm kind of sick of buying the same brand you know cause its just a different version of the same jean and i dont own any frankie b's because there so low (unless someone can send me a specific link to a jean that isnt so low from frankie b) so does anyone know any designers that might fit thin girls? I really appreciate anyone reading and answering Thank You! (link)
I know this isn't designer, but as a last resort you could always try Express. They make jeans specifically for skinny girls.

I have a bit of the opposite problem from you. My thighs need a larger size than my waist, so I always have to buy my Sevens (they're my favourite) a size up & then get them altered. So altering might be an option for you too.


i want a liquid eye shadow but i cant find a good one anywhere i used to use wet n wild but they stopped selling it.. does anyone know a good liquid eyeshadow and where i can find it. thanks (link)
I'm not sure how much money you're willing to spend, but I use Chanel's liquid eyeshadow & I really like it.


how do you exactly tease your hair? (link)
If you're teasing it to get volume, apply a root volumizer, blowdry or scrunch it in with your fingers, & then backcomb your roots.


which one smells better? the "8" or "classic" perfume? (link)
Wow, so I disagree with everyone - 8 is my favourite! When I worked at A&F, it was our best seller too.


how do models and people get their mascara to look like this?

http://a966.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/63/l_63681325b01c091d1c228ac52e0a0245.jpg (link)
Those girls didn't do a very good job applying their eyemakeup, their mascara is horribly clumpy. Apply a couple of coats of Maybelline Intense XXL mascara (it has a white bottom coat for added length), and then apply a coat of Maybelline Lash Stylist mascara as your top coat. It has a built in comb that will eliminate any clumps.


how do you get your hair poofy on the top but then stick straight on the bottom? (link)
Do the layering and flatironing like the other person said, put spray in some root volumimzer and tease just the roots if you want major volume on top. For a piecy, bed-head look, I'd suggest getting some water-based pomade. It'll let you stylize your hair a bit more without being sticky or stiff.


OKay is there anyway to be a preppy scene kid? I so love the scene style and everything. But i also love preppy clothes. I already own tons of Lacoste and Burberry and such. And i dont wanna get rid of them. So I need some help. Thanks and im sorry if this question is so confusing. Oh and if you can help me find some websites with some good scene clothes, that would be most helpful. Cost is no problem.
Thanks

Just wear whatever you feel like wearing on a certain day, don't worry about what label you are falling under!
Someo of my friends used to call me the "emo prep", cos ne day I'll be dressed head to toe in A&F, and the next I'll do heavy eyeliner with like a CBGB top or something. I just wore whatever I felt comfortable in on that particular day.
Truly being "scene" is all about just doing your own thing, anyway.
But you might try these websites:
http://heartbreakerclothing.net/index2.html
http://revoltrevolt.com/store/
http://clandestineindustries.com/


So my friend showed me this website called www.hollywoodaccessory.com with like fake desinger stuff that looks real. Well my birthdays coming up and i planned on having my mom order me a bag that i really liked on there. Expect now its gone! Does anyone no any websites similar to the one above or that has fake chanel,coach or designer bags ?

thankss :] (link)
I wouldn't get a fake bag if I were you. Not only are they illegal to sell, but they're made in clandestine workshops in places like China, where young children are forced to work for 20 hours a day for hardly any money.

You could always check ebay or overstock.com for some really good deals on designer bags. Just make sure the seller offers a moneyback guarantee if you can prove the bag is a fake, otherwise you will probably get ripped off. Ask for pictures of the serial numbers, inner lining, etc before buying a bag off of one of those websites.
