about

I'm a photography major at a community college. I love music, fashion, art, my friends, books, films, theatre...and vampires. Ask me anything. I especially like questions about my opinions on something and questions that aren't even asking for advice.

Does anyone know how to figure out your bra size at home? I hate going into the stores and having the people measure you.

Go to Victoria's Secret and have them measure you. It's really accurate and then you know what size to get. But if you're really all that uncomfortable about getting measured by someone else, just go to wherever you buy your bras from, grab a range of sizes that look like that might fit you and try all of them on.

I'm reading "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" by Betty Smith and I stumbled across a strange paragraph:

"It so happened that Professor Alegretto had a slight peculiarity concerning his girl pupils. He made them take off their shoes and stockings and stand in their bare feet while they sawed away. Instead of beating time or correcting their fingering, he spent the hour in a revery staring at their feet.

This made Evy jump. She knew nothing of Freud, and her scanty knowledge of sex did not include any of its deviations."

Back in the Victorian Age, were men like, sexually attracted to feet?

That's one of my favorite books and when I read it I wondered that too haha. I think he did have a minor foot obsession and knew he could maybe get away with it...like back then I guess.

ok so im wearing skinny jeans the first day of school and im trying to figure out what shoes go good with them? any suggestions?

p.s-no heals, please.

Avoid sneakers and bulky shoes like that. The cutest skinny jean outfits I've seen recently included ballet flats, pointy-toed flats (and high heels, just so you know anyway), and Classic Vans Slip-Ons.

Hey :) i am 14 years old and i collect stickers........ i was just wondering, am i too old to be collecting stickers??? i love it..... am i too old? or is it all in my head??

thx

Nope, not at all. Lots of people your age and older collect stuff like stickers. I'm 15 and I collect sharpies of different colors. You're never too old to do something like that if it's fun.

Hey!
Im 14/f
I have this prolem where people keep pointing out that i have rather large boobs. It is really embarassing and it makes me feel very uncomfortable. I am a 34B.
So i guess i want to know if there is any way to appear smaller or make my breats less noticeable.
I wear a lot of polos and dont really like very baggy clothes.
Thanks so much!

Hey 34B isn't that big anyway so they should shut up!!! Haha my boobs are the same size and my ex-boyfriend makes fun of me anyway too. If they're not joking then wow, they're mean. Just wear a bra with no padding.

Yeah.

okay so i heard that celery has negative calories. is this really true? and if it is what exactly are negative calories and do you know any more foods that have them. thanks

Well they're not really like "neative calories", it's just that it takes more calories to eat the food than the food actually has in it so it's like the calories just never get processed by your body. Celery is a great diet food in this way because it fills you up even without the calories.

I want to know how to biuld up upper arm mucsle w/o my parents knowing. this is b/c they would go into shock b/c i am smart not athletic. thanks to those of you who respond.

You know you can be smart and athletic at the same time, right? Don't be stereotypical, please, it's retarded. Anyway, do push-ups, pull-ups and lift weights daily.

hi. I am a 13/f and i started my period about 6 months ago. I play soccer alot and do track in school. I have never used a tampon, only pads. My mom wont bring the subject up and i'm too nervous to ask her how to use it or if I can use them. PLEASE HELP!!!! my soccer tournament is in a few weeks and thats when my next period is supposed to come! any advice on how my mom can bring up the subject? or how i can get the nerve to talk to her about this?? should i just not tell her and just use one?? but i've never used one before and i'm nervous and dont know how to use one. PLEASE HELP!! thank you sooooo much

Don't listen to xoIDOLox, she's wrong about them hurting, they totally don't. You don't feel them at all when you use them. Ask your mom to buy you tampons and if she won't then buy them yourself. If you buy Tampax Pearl, they come with instructions for first-timers. And like I said, if you do it right, they don't hurt at all. The only way they could possibly cause you harm is if you were to get TSS, which would only happen if you didn't change it ever 4-8 hours, which is easy to remember to do anyway. So just change it regularly and you'll be fine.

i was just wondering what would be the average cost of a public and private college charge per year. well thnx

I would suggest visiting the website of the college or university that you are considering and clicking over to the financial aid section to find out the cost. If you don't know the college or university's URL to their website, google the name of the school. Good luck!

I'm 15 and i've had my period for about 2 years now maybe a little more & in Late May/Early June I was still a 34A and now I am a 34B.. is it weird to go up a full cup size in just a few months or no? Is it normal? Are they going to keep getting bigger?

Nope. It randomly happened to me over the course of a few months too. My friends all made fun of me and called me a "late bloomer" for having 32A boobs and then like 3 or 4 months later I got to be a 34B. It's normal, just a growth spurt.

is it normal for people to cry over nothing? like seriously! i think something is wrong with me, maybe depression or something? but i can just sit here and start crying for hours. and so many things will just run throug my head.. do i need help?!

It's completely normal and happens to everyone. Sometimes you just get really stressed out or start feeling really shitty and well...it feels like everything sucks for a while. But if you let yourself cry and get it out you'll feel better pretty quickly. If it happens really really often, you should talk to your parents about it because you might suffer from more than just acute depression. I hope you feel better!! Just remember, you're so not alone.

Is it just me? Or questions on this site getting stupider and stupider? I mean, you should come to this site and talk about your problems, and try to get them worked out. More and more I'm seeing people talk about Myspace and things that they could really find else where. Is it just me? Or dose someone else out there agree that this needs to be cut down jus a bit

It's not just you. It is. Hahahaha.

i mostly shop at ae, but now im starting to like hollister. if im a small in shirts at american eagle, what will i be at hollister? like are the sizes different or the same? thanks a lot:]

American Eagles sizes are a little bit bigger than Hollister sizes so you might be an extra small or maybe a small. I'd suggest trying clothes at Hollister on before you buy them just to be sure!!

okay, well, this is more of a poll than a question. i have kissed several guys, and i think kissing is JUST kissing, but you always hear, "oh hes a good kisser", or "hes not a very good kisser". i think thats a myth. how many people actually believe that there are really good in bad kissers. i mean, i can understand if a guy is like, all over you, thats a bad kisser, but just normal making out? i dont get it!!

I guess other people probably see it the same way you do sometimes. But to me a bad kisser is like someone who is really slobbery, shoves their tounge down your throat, bites too hard on your bottom lip, have bad breath...etc.

judging by one of the answers earlier it looks like you are a christian so here is my dilema.
I met my ex gf at church. She is three years younger than me and we dated for a year and a half. out of no where she broke up with me. i totally feel like a loser, she broke up with me in february and i am still not over her. now she is talking with some guy in new york which is across the country and it seems like everything i do to show her i love her he does better than me i am all out of ideas and i just want to quit. please help!

Of course you're not over her yet. If you really loved her, which it sounds like you did, it's very painful and takes a while to get over. Keep in mind that she might not really be interested in this guy from New York. She might be trying to make you jealous. Show her that you really love her by going out of your way to be there for her and make her smile. Good luck!!!

Today I recieved a copy of Cosmo Girl instead of Elle Girl. Instead was a letter stating why. Apparently Elle Girl is no longer in publication and I will be issued Cosmo Girl magazines in place of Elle Girl until my Elle Girl subscription runs out. Why is Elle Girl not in existence anymore? I am confused!

The same thing happened with YM. I'm guessing they lost their company due to lack of subscribers or something like that.

14/f i'm scared to try tampons again and its not because im scared they will hurt or anything because the last time i used them (when i was 13) i couldnt feel anything. anyways when i was 13 i was wearing a tampon and i was supposed to change it at 4 or something and i totally forgot and i ended up changing it at 6. its just that whenever i wear them i always forget to change them because i can't feel the tampon inside of me and im scared because i dont wanna get TSS or anything. can somebody please help me on how to change them sooner? thanks soo much

Get into a routine, that way you won't forget. Like I always change mine when I wake up, right before or right after lunch (depending on how heavy it is), around four in the afternoon, and then before I go to bed. Sometimes more often.

I'm tired of listening to the same things already.
I need new songs.
Genres: Techno; Indie; Electronica(the type that's mixed with like Indie or Rock).; Rock/Punk. Also I wouldn't mind girl bands.

If you like indie/electronica/techno go for Shiny Toy Guns, they're pretty interesting. I'd also suggest some new bands I found like FLyleaf, Angels and Airwaves and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
