Q: My 14th birthday is comin up soon and i want to get my belly button pierced for my birthday because i have a nice body and with my belly button pierced, it would look really good. My parents said i couldn't get anymore piercings cuz i already have three piercings on my left and right ears and one more piercing on the top of my left ear. I really want my belly button pierced and i dont know how to convince both of my parents to let me get it done. Can someone please help me out lol? One more thing, if anyone would like to tell me how you get your belly button pierced like how they do it and etc, that would really help so i can show my parents and maybe they would let me get my belly button pierced.

Thanks

Q: Everyone at school thinks it is REALLY weird for poeple to wear pure black outfits and black make up. Black is the only color that really looks good on me, so I prefer to wear it.

is there any other color that has the same slimming effect as the color black? im not fat, but im not the skinniest. ive got big boobs and a kinda chubby lower stomach. i want to hide this, so i wear the black stuff.

i just need another color in clothing that looks good with almost anything and is slimming in those areas i mentioned.

I dont know about another color... but dont wear all black... wear jeans too... anyways u could try white or um... maroon colors... those usually look good on everybody!!! :) HOPE I HELPED!!!

Q: what's good make-up that i can wear 4 going back to school?

Q: hey i'm a 13 year old girl, and i'm really petite(and dont have that much of a chest lol), and i'm like 4 foot 11. evry time i try on jeans, theyre 2 baggy around mi butt.lol. where can i find jeans and shorts n stuff that

Q: Ok...I bleached my hair blonde and it looks really good but my aunt is a cosmotigist or however u spell it and she said it would look better if i got dark highlights put in it...what color highlights do u think i should put in it to make it look better?A chose between red,brown,or black.Thanx!

Okay i would chose a light brown because that way they look more natural then red or black or even a dark brown!!! HOPE I HELPED!!!:)

Q: hey. im really skinny so its hard to find tight fitting jeans like i want. i shop everywhere and i cant really find jeans that arent a lil baggy. i shop at hollister, abercrombie, pacsun, nordstrom, marshall fields, some designer stores u havent heard of and more.. and i cant find any good tight fitting jeans. even the slim sizes arent tighter, they just fit better around the waste. where should i shop? thanxx

Okay... I used to have the same problem and i find REALLY great fitting pants at EXPRESS and Buckle... Buckle can tailor ur pants for free so if they dont fit exactly right it's great to buy from them... HOPE I HELPED!!! :)
