I'm a 17 year old girl. That's all you need to know, now ask me Q's!

how cam i be a fashion designer?

you've got to learn sewing skills and how to sketch designs. then maybe take classes at college or something. you have to have the passion and if you want to make it big you'll have to move to a major city in most cases. just google information about it and it will help a lot. good luck!

I'm creating a bit of a poll/survey, and wondered who you'd consider your style icons for 2010? Or people you think will become style icons in 2010?

Thanks, x

selena gomez and lea michele

say if youre somewhat fair complected and you were to go to a tanning bed around 2-3 a week for a month and then quit going (for health/safety & money reasons) about how long would that tan last? would it last just as long as a natural tan?

yes it would last the same. even though its like artificial sun, it still does the same thing the sun does, just faster. i remember reading that 10 minutes in a tanning bed is like spending 5 hours on the beach. (i'm anti tanning beds so i really recommend that you stop going! it's so bad for your skin and going tanning doesn't allow your skin time to recover. you'll get wrinkles early in life! get a spray tan lol)

Hey!
When you get your hair done at a salon, how much are you supposed to tip the stylist? Thanks in advance. :)

i agree with the other person who said tip 20% but also... if the stylist did a really good job then give them 20% (or more if you wanted to) but if they did a bad job then knock it down to 15%.

do you know any good beauty products that will help get rid of blackheads? i have them all over my nose and i'm afraid if i don't get rid of them they'll get deeper and i'll have these ugly dots on my nose when i get older :/ thanks!

my friend uses some strips by Biore that go on your nose and then after a while you take them off. they work really well. also i hear you can rub baking soda all over your face after you wash it, then wash off the baking soda and i guess it gets rid of blackheads.

so i have side bangs and by like half way through the day there already all greasy and gross looking and they dont look how i want them too :( but the rest of my hair is still good! ive never really had bangs before this, like everyone loves my h=bangs now and everyone wanted me to get them before but i think my forehead like puts all its grease on them or something and makes them gross (sorry that sounds gross but its true). does this happen to anyone else? is there anything i can do? i put baby powder on and it seems to help a little but its not like i can bring baby powder to school or anything!

buy some blotting sheets. you can find them in the same aisle as face washes. you can just keep them in your purse and blot your forehead and it makes it less greasy/shiny. you can also use them on your scalp or hairline to get rid of the oils. the sheets i use are by neutrogena and heres a link. http://www.drugstore.com/qxp168374_333181_sespider/neutrogena/shine_control_blotting_sheets.htm

So I get the Delia's catalog, and I totally love it. But its way too expensive. There are a pair of boots in there that i LOVE, but they're $50. Here's the link, please let me know if you can find them, or a similiar pair, somewhere else cheaper. Thanks!

or:
http://treehillfan.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=212&pos=306
and i really like it. Only problem is I can't really find anything like it. Anyone have any ideas on where I could find one similar?
Thanks!

k well, i'm one tree hill obsessed so i looked around for this for a while but no luck. i found some jackets that i could see her wearing though...

hey i wanted to dye my hair blonde but i have really dark brown hair so i kind of want to see it before i do it ... so is there any program (for free) that i can get to change the hair color? thanks.

I don't know of any programs that let you change your hair color, but there are ones that let you put different styles on your head, so you can use a different style just to see the color. Try this one, or search on google for something similar.

In school, I was totally expecting to see everyone wearing wideleg jeans, Crocs (ugh!), and all the other trends for this season. But to my surprise, they were all wearing what I was wearing; skinny jeans, Uggs, and all last season's trends. Obviously new, but according to latest news, it was outdated. Why was my small, yet wealthy town not affected by the season's reports? I am totally confused.

I don't think skinny jeans and Uggs are completely last season yet. And, well, if they are then my school isn't up to date either.

And as much Crocs are the new cool thing to wear, I personally HATE them (although I do admit, they're comfortable.)

its a simple enough idea.
get the side swept bangs out of your face, bobby pin them up on the top of your head.
everyone should know what im talking about there...some people have more of a 'poof' there than others as they please.
but EVERYtime i put them up i have the little short baby band that stick out of it and it looks really really bad.
i need to have my bangs up because i play tennis and they keep getting in my way.
what is a way i can put my bangs up in this fashionable way and control all the short little hairs???
xoxoxoxo

hairspray.

i just need a vote. which do you think is more popular, or do you like more?


straight or curly


thankss :D

I have straight hair, but I have to say that I like curly hair better. BUT the kind of curly I'm thinking of is the curling iron kind, not the poofy afro type curly haha.

Ok so is there any type of cream or anything for your skin that lightens freckles or dark spots?
If so where can I get it?

Or if you know of any home remedies that actually work, don't say the lemon juice thing.

Thanks.

I don't know how to lighten them, but if you go out in the sun alot, it usually makes freckles darker and stand out more. So use sunscreen or avoid the sun somewhat.

ok, so for my birthday, me and a bunch of my friends are going shopping on 5th avenue. (nyc, of course.) but... the last time I went shopping there was when I was about 5... so I'm not quite sure about many of the stores. I would love if someone could give me links to a map of 5th avenue, a list of shops to check out, or more info that you think I would find helpful. I have been googling phrases like '5th avenue nyc' and 'stores on 5th avenue' but it hasn't been very helpful.
And does anyone know if the store Strawberry has a website??? because I've been looking for it forever and I would really really love it if someone could give me a link to it or tell me that it doesn't have a website please!
Thanks in advance! xo

I love New York, and I'm going there in two days! I found this yahoo site with a list of 5th ave stores. I hope it's what youre looking for.

http://local.yahoo.com/results?fr=dd-local-more&stx=shopping+5th+ave&csz=New+York%2C+NY

And for the Strawberry website, I don't think it has one. I searched and didn't find anything. Unless it's a cosmetics store, then I think this is the site.

i need to see what i would look like with a certain hair color. clairol.com use to have it but now its going under maintenance. where you put in a picture and you cna dye your hair on there. not put a wig on it. do any of you know of another site like this or anything?

I actually got it to work. I've been looking for something like this for so long and when I saw this I was so excited.

http://www.clairol.com/try-it-on-studio/process_tios.jsp?dest=/try-it-on-studio/process_tios.jsp®loc=tios&popup=no

If you have a login, then do that first, if not, just register. It's free, and it asks for your address but I didn't use mine I just put ghasuighsagb. And it worked. haha. Hope I helped.

I love make-up!

I love using color, but don't really know how to. I always use more than one color.

I like brands such as MAC, YSL, Chanel, Benefit, and Smashbox.

If someone could give me tips, and even pictures where they label it, and tell you the steps on how to use and do the product its be great!

Also, I have blue eyes, blondish-brownish hair, and freckels. If that helped?

Anything is helpful, thank you.

Just to add to Marizzle's advice, orange shades (like brown or peach) bring out blue eyes. I think Marizzle said greens bring out blue, but I've always been told and read that it's orange.
Sorry I dont have any tips though. Hope I helped!

Hey! Well I know that this is in the wrong category b/c they didn't have any one for it so this is the closest I can get.

I was wondering what is the name of the hotel that the cast of Laguna Beach stayed at in Cabo? The one with the bar in the pool, slide, etc. Also, what's the name of the beach they went to?

Thankssss.

I dont know what beach they went to, but I'm pretty sure the hotel they stayed at was called Hotel Hacienda Beach Resort Cabo San Lucas. Hope I helped!

I'm looking for a crash bandicoot tee shirt, I tried google and didn't find anything. Does anyone know where I could find one? I'd like to avoid ebay if possible. Thank you for any help.

http://www.google.com/products?q=crash+bandicoot+t-shirt&hl=en&um=1&sa=X&oi=froogle&ct=title


That's the closest thing I can find. The first one says it's an iron on, so you just buy a t-shirt and then you iron it on. I don't think it brings you to ebay either. Hope I helped.
