Hi, does anyone know any stores that carry purses with Marilyn Monroe on them? I know there a tons of places to order from offline, but I'd much rather go to a store and pick one up. It doesn't matter what store, name anything. Thanks!

I'm not sure if you have one where you live, but 'Sam Moon' has a million purses with just about anything on them. I've seen them in there before so you're bound to find one.

Also there's a place called 'The Hand Bag'. Once again idk if you have one where you're located but it's all purses and I know they have them!

I just got a blow dryer with a Diffuser on it. I was wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks on how to best dry my wavy hair with the diffuser. Also, isn't it used to like protect curls/waves? Thanks so much!

Dry it the same way you would if it wasn't there. The diffuser is there just so your hair doesn't blow everywhere when you don't want it to. Like for curls or frizzy hair.

Don't hold it too close to your hair, like normal. Whenever I use it, I start at the top and slowly go to the ends, that seems to help it dry straight.[kinda like when you brush your hair, except you aren't touching it]. If you have the diffuser on it the whole time, it really doesn't matter how you hold/use it, it's gonna dry the same way. & if you put it on a high setting it might still blow them around a little, depends on the drier I guess.

Lets say you are getting a tatoo with a sentence of Chinese symbols (about 5 of them). Is EACH symbol considered one tattoo or would you say all of those symbols together equal one tattoo? Thanks.

I'd say it's one tattoo. When they make and draw the stencil to put it on your body, [unless they free-hand it] they'd do it all at once, therefore it's one tattoo.

&& also, if it's a sentence, then it's meaning to be all together, so that's all one tattoo. If they were individual symbols NOT in a sentence, then they'd be 5 diff ones. Hope this makes sense! haha

i need to know, how can you become a pretty person outside? i dont think im pretty or anything,i want to be a girl some guy would like. but how? tips? gerneral stuff? im a kinda preppy person,i dont dress bad,i wear makeup,but i dont know how to be pretty. i have brown hair,big brown eyes,long eyelashes,dark eyebrows,kinda light skin,kinda circles under my eyes,oval face shape,4"9 13...please help i want to look nice and aprochable,and pretty.

Everyone's pretty in their own way, even if you/others don't see it.

You can tell alot about someone by their personality. If you smile alot, be friendly, people will WANT to get to know you.

Have you noticed how some pretty girls are always so bubbly and happy? Think about what they would be like if they weren't. People would probably think they were a bitch or just stuck up, not pretty.

So my point is, your personality can make you pretty or not on the outside too. Just like makeup can.

But if you wanna know how to makeyour makeup pretty, try making your lashes dark. Thick long lashes are always gorgeous. Don't go too heavy on the eyeliner if you wear it, but dark enough to know it's there obviously. Make it smokey if you know how. annnd always wear eyeshadow, match it with what you wear that day to make it cute.

As far as your hair, try side bangs. If you don't want them permenatly, use the flat iron to get them to stay. Or try big loose curls some days and straight other days. Mix it up and it won't be so boring.

& Also, if you think of yourself as pretty, other people will too. If you need anything else let me know!

I changed my gauges gradually, going up a step each time so i dont tear or anything...i was just wondering if it was bad that i'm only waiting about a week to change the gauges to the next level. i just changed from a 12 to a 10 gauge. also, i've heard of "blowouts" with gauging your ears...and i may be wrong but when i changed my gauges a little bit of skin or tissue or whatever was pushed by the 10 gauge....is that concidered a blowout? it doesnt seem to be a problem right NOW...but then again i just did it. i cleaned both ears with bactine right after.

if you have any other tips, please feel free to tell me...i really want to gauge my ears the right way and i could use help from people who acually KNOW what they're doing.

aim: blow up bad guys

thanks!

"Typically you should wait no less than a month between stretches.You may cause blow outs or not be able to stretch in the future. Listen to your body though. Also, try massaging your lobes with small amounts of coco butter lotion or vitamin E, the massaging will entice blood flow and the lotion will allow for a more flexible lobe. Salt water soaks (8 ounces of very warm water with a half tablespoon of SEA Salt, *not table salt*) for 10-15 minutes a day will remove impurities such as dirt, lotion, soap, and other build up that makes your ear look unhealthy." - From a professional on BME

Hey im 15/f. I was wondering how do you use hair rollers. Are they hard to use, do i need somebody helping me? Will they work if you have semi-straight hair? Basically i just wanna know how to use it and what to do. Thanks a bunch!!!

Whenever I use rollers, I use a spray bottle and just mist a little water on my hair [not alot just a few sprays, if you curl dry hair and they aren't hot rollers, the curls aren't going to stay very long.] Then keep the rollers on as long as you like, depending how curly you want your hair. Then take the rollers out gently so you don't mess up your curls, and if you want hairspray it when you're done.

[If you use hot rollers, don't leave them in too long, it'll burn your hair badddd, and don't use water for this kind.]

It really isn't that hard and the only reason you would need help is if you couldnt reach the back or something. Otherwise it's pretty much a one man job. And yes it'll work for almost any kind of hair if you do it good.

halloween costume ideas --

my best friend is throwing a halloween party, where guests should come in costume, and has elected myself and my other best friend the co-hosts. we've decided that we all want to have matching costumes, just the three of us, since we are the hosts. i know it's early to be planning a halloween costume since halloween is nearly 2 months away, but we want to make sure we have an idea of what costumes we want before they are all gone.

so my question is, what are some cute, reasonabally priced costumes, or ideas, for 3 people? thanks mucho!!

-You guys could do the charlies angels [like the movie, not the old episodes].

-Even though there's 4 girls on the fanta commercial, ya'll could dress up like them, and just leave a color out. Or invite another girl to do it too.

-Or you could all just get really pretty, and dress up in something like miss america and wear tiaras and wear sashes, and do your makeup really heavy.

-You could each be a different disney princess. Like snow white, sleeping beauty, and cinderella.

-Wizard of Oz characters..

-Singers, each one of you pick a singer that you like and dress up like them.

If you need any more ideas let me know!

14/f. my mom always told me that it is better for your skin if you don't wear foundation, or any makeup on your skin. so in the summer i dont wear foundation. but normally for school i would wear foundation everyday because i have oily skin, i get a few pimples, and my skintone is uneven (my cheecks are redder then the rest of my face).

is there any foundation out there that you have PERSONALY used and like that won't make me break out, and isn't bad for your skin, and won't clog my pores. i want something that i can buy at CVS, that isn't too expensice, like around $5.

oh and don't tell me to buy the maybelline matte mousse foundation, because i don't like that stuff, i feel like it is too heavy.

THANKS SO MUCH [=

I used MAC for a while but then it started getting expensive, so I switched to Almay and it works way better and is about $4.99-$6.00 depending where you get it at.

=] Evy

EDIT-

I use clear complexion, medium 300. It's kinda dark, so if you aren't very tan I think there's a light/medium 200, and even just a light. Just depends how heavy you like to put it on!

My hair is really really frizzy It would be pretty straight if you minus all the frizz but magazines always have ideas for diffrent kinds of hair but not frizzy hair. Have any ideas on how i can style it without using an iron. or websites where i could get ideas. that would be great! thanks!

For a shampoo- Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine..

It's for "frizzy, dry, or unmanagable hair."

Or you could try blow drying your hair before bed. When you wake up try putting Terax Gloss (about $16) on your hair from roots to tips.

OK so currently I have brown hair to my lower back (I'm east indian) with caramel streaks that I got two months ago so they're growing out. I just got my hair layered and got side bangs.
Now I want to change my hair colour and make it look very -in- without cutting my hair or making a -huge- change (i.e. dying the entire length one colour). I have a limited budget but I'm going to a salon.
But can someone give me some ideas on some very edgy long hair? What colour can I put on it and how do I style it after to make it look cool. I want it to look hip but not totally crazy.

I'm not really sure how your layers look, but you could get the top of it blonde, and let it go down to where the section of your first layers stop or where ever you want, then underneath get it a darker shade of brown or even black.

Or get all blonde and add black streaks but don't start them from the roots, make it where they kinda fade from the top and get darker at the bottom, or pink would look pretty hot too.

If you don't wanna go that far just keep the colors you have now, and maybe add a few blonde highlights or another shade of brown.


As far as style, i love straight hair but it does get a little boring. Try scrunching some of it and straightening your bangs and a few strands here n there. Just mix it up a little and experiment. Make up your own style!

Right now I have long grown hair 3 inches below my shoulders with choppyish side bangs. They grew very long so I can put them behind my ear. I want a new hair cut. I love this girls hair and this is what it looks like.... http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k226/sexiigurl94/ashhh.jpg

I'm getting my hair just like her but I don't know how to explain it to the hair dresser. I'm deff. bringing in the pictures but how would I describe that girls hair. Like is it layers or bangs, I need details? I can't really tell how she got her hair cut I just think it's really pretty so if you could help me out that would be great.

This probably won't help you much, but if you just take the picture to whoever is doing your hair, they can probably get it almost like you want it without having to explain it. Watch he/she do it as they go and you can tell them anything else you want done. They've seen alot and know what to do.

Or you could try asking the girl that those pictures belong to if she's willing to tell.

I wasnt really sure what catogory this was but this was closest. Im 15/m and have always gotten my hair cut real short. My sister and her friend say long hair on guys is better. What do most girls like best?

Different girls like different kinds. To me it depends how well the guy can carry the look. But for me, if it's long it can't be curly, if it is it looks kinda gross to me. I think im gonna have to go with short hair. Messy or not it can still look good either way.

Ok i have a size 38C breasts and i am in 8th grade i always wear a shirt over my bathing suits and i never wear 2 peices becasue my boobs hang out....i hate big breasts! so here are my questions:

1.) How do i make my boobs look smaller?
2.) if i do crunches will they shrink??

It is possible that your breast size would decrease if you lost weight. However, it's also possible that it wouldnt change at all. there are lots of ways to minimize the impact you think your breasts make — and keep in mind you are the person who notices them the most! The easiest is by what you wear. First of all, getting a good bra is important. Go to a department store and let the women who work there take out a tape measure and measure you. Yeah, it's a little embarrassing, but they do this all the time, so don't stress. Once you know your correct size, try on a bunch of bras. Look for ones with lots of support, usually with thicker, wider straps. Some girls love wearing sports bras every day, because they are usually quite comfortable and offer a lot of control. There is also something called a minimizer bra, which, well, does what it sounds like. Try on a bunch, and see how your t-shirt looks over each one.

As for clothing, try not to feel so self-conscious that you end up wearing your favorite baggy sweatshirt 24/7. You can still wear tank tops — just pick ones that allow you to wear a bra underneath. No spaghetti straps or anything too flimsy. Instead, go for more athletic tanks with a wider strap for support. You can also draw attention to other parts of your body that you want to play up.
