okay so im a freshman dating a junior, meaning im going to junior prom. and its this weekend. im so stressed. anyways i got my dress and shoes and now im looking at hair styles, but i was wondering is there anything else i need to do? like a corsage? or whatever it is hahaha i need help im so nervous! thank you

I'd get a boutonniere for your boyfriend, find one that either matches your dress or his tuxedo/suit/vest.

other than that, maybe get a small purse [a clutch purse] to keep gum, a camera, phone, money, other small things.

have fun :)

I'm looking for a great hair website that shows detailed photos of different styles. Does anybody know of any? Also I would love it if the site was well updated. Like I don't want to have to go through 30 90s hair dos to find one good modern hair do. Thanks!

check out this site:

A lot of it is "scene" hairstyles, but there's also more modest styles. And it is always up-to-date.

my boobs are kinda saggy and i have tried push up bras just not from victoria's secret and they kinda help.. so i was wondering which pushup bra from victorias secret is the best ..and price thanks

ok, I really like the "Angels by Victoria's Secret
Secret Embrace push-up bra", here is it on their website:
http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/application/prodDisplay/?namespace=productDisplay&origin=onlineProductDisplay.jsp&event=display&prnbr=3H-194398&page=1&cgname=OSBRPTEEZZZ&rfnbr=3763
As you can see, it is pricey at $45.00, but Victoria's Secret makes really great quality bras that will last for a good amount of time without breaking or tearing.

I'd go to a VS store though, they can get you the right size and you can try on every bra in the store if you want. If you're gonna spend the money on a good bra from VS, make sure you try it on and it fits comfortably and you're not popping out of it.

Good luck, I know bra shopping sucks haha.

i've seen these slipper-sock things around like at stores like Loose Lucy's
they're knitted and have a suade-ish bottom
and come up to about your knee
does anyone know what these are called or any stores or online stores i could order a pair from? thanks!

Like these?: http://www.footsmart.com/P-Mukluk-Fairisle-Slipper-Wmn-71161.aspx

that's really all I could find. Maybe a store like kohl's would have them, or even sears, jcpenney, or other department stores, sorry I couldn't find more :/ .

I kinda wanna be emo, but not really. like, i love the style, but i have ALOT of preppy clothes, and they are getting kinda cluttered in my wardrobe. it's almost like i want a whole different style change. what would i have to do? i know i need things like skinny jeans, studded belt, hoodie, etc. and please dont say im being dumb by saying "emo"... i just dont know what else to say. please answer with kindness and advice.

I think with the skinny jeans, belts, etc, that's more of an emo/scene style, not like it really matters what you call it though haha, but anyways...If you have a lot of 'preppy clothes' now, you could still keep them, but just change the way you wear them and what you wear with them. Like if you have a polo shirt, pair it with some skinny jeans, converse sneakers, and a lot of accessories [and I mean A LOT, go crazy with them]. Find some long, striped shirts and pair them with colourful, tight hoodies, or a plain black hoodie which is always a classic emo look. Layers are good.
The emo/scene style is usually detailed and involves a lot of different pieces that come together for one look, I'd suggest that you go to a secondhand shop like goodwill or salvation army, and look for items like tight tee shirts with "80s" looks, like bright colours and pop art, and pair those with skinny jeans. You can also look for sweaters that would normally seem 'dorky', but if they fit your shape well, you can make them 'emo' with what you wear with it [skinny jeans, accessories, layers, maybe even get glasses as an accessory].

Then of course there's different emo and scene hairstyles and make up styles, you can find all of those by searching google, facebook, or even myspace.

Hopefully that helps a little bit, just go for what you like.

Ok, so my school has a uniform, and you can wear colorful knee socks with your skirts, but i cant find any. Does anyone know where i can find cute, somewhat cheap COLORFUL knee socks? [ argile, striped, patterns, pokadots? ] THANKYOU(:

I get all of mine at Kohls. There's also Five Below, Wal Mart or K Mart, or even the dollar store. Places like Hot Topic and Claires have them sometimes. But I think Kohls is the best, especially in the fall.

this is the shoe i want
http://www.tillys.com/tillys/images/catalog/thumb/121940210.jpg

i cannot find it anywhere, not even etnies.com has it.
it's not common so not a lot of stores have them either. can someone please help me find a site that has these shoes in stock? thanks.

I checked at least ten websites and didn't find them in stock anywhere. The only thing I can tell you is that PacSun carried them at some point.

This website http://essence.zlio.com/Skate-Shoes-p4496976-ETNIES-GIRLS-SHOES-EASY-E.html redirects you to the PacSun site here http://essence.zlio.com/tracking?productID=4496976&p=4341759&z=56398&framed=yes , maybe try emailing them to see if the shoes are still available.

hey, well i'm 14/f. how old do you have to be to get a tattoo?? i know i'm to young now, but how long would i have to wait?? cause i really want one. a small one on my foot. see, my cousin and half-sis both have a tattoo on their feet, and i think it looks soo cute!! my cousin has her sign (leo) and my sister has that one thing sign from the video "Where is the love?" with the little box with the question mark, and around the box it says where is the love, and i can't remember what is on the other foot. and also, how bad does it hurt?? it looks like it would hurt pretty badly, and i don't always handle pain very well. like, what does it feel like? is there any examples? if and when i get one, i want it to be one of those Fleur-de-lis and it would probably be in pink. would that be cute?? i know i'm thinking of this too soon, but i think its fun to just think of different things that would be cute. anyways, thanks a bunch!!! LUVLUV!!!!

To answer the question about the pain: I have a tattoo on my shoulder blade, and in that area it basically felt like I had a really bad sunburn and then a cat was scratching all over it. Eventually it went numb. Then mine hurt for like two weeks after, just like a bruise. The foot is gonna hurt because it's all bone, but if you really want it you can tolerate the pain.

And yeah, most places will let you get one at 16 with parent permission, that's how old I was when I got mine. Some places go as low as 14 with parent permission, but most places won't.

ok im 15m and i gave my self a tatoo how do you care for a tatoo like i did sterilis the neddal and use ink from a pen but other than that idk wat else should i do

Keep watching it for infection, if it gets too inflamed [some redness, soreness, or swelling is normal] I'd suggest seeing a doctor. Even with a sterile needle there's still plenty of chances for infection since you did your tattoo yourself.

If it's not infected, get this stuff called 'tattoo goo' or something similar to it, it will preserve your tattoo. You can also use regular lotion, just make sure there's no alcohol in it [it takes out the ink]. Cover it with gauze the first few days.

Yeah and also I'd say next time just go to a professional place to get a tattoo done, pen ink just has a high chance of bleeding into the skin and your home-made tattoo might not look that great after a few years [maybe less].

Where can I get long tube socks
that are white with a stripe color at the top?

I need stores, not online places.

:) Thanks!

Kohl's also has them, that's where I got mine.
