Q: Ok, I'm going to the beach with my 2 gal friends tomorrow. We want to pick up boysss! People find us attractive, but how do we like show we're interested in guys on the boardwalk/beach and make them cover to us? Like without talking right away? Thanksss!!

look at the guy, when he cathches your eye smile and then shyly look down then look up at him again and smile then you'll be talking and lauging and going out on dates before you know it!

Q: I would really like to become a model. What are some good places to help jumpstart that career? Are there any good and safe modeling agencies or places to submit your photo?

well, what i did is...
... i went to a professional photographer in my region and asked him to take a number of photos of me with different clothes, different backdrops, in different poses, and a few head shots(close ups) too...
then ask him/her if he/she thinks that you are photogenic and if they know any good modeling agencies.
the photos cost quite a lot (but generaly the photographer will let you see them on the computer before he/she prints them out. thats if you want to keep some) but its worth it and you generally earn the money back in your first or first few jobs.
try it, it worked for me, &dont forget to get back to me and tell me how it went.

Q: i have a pink polaroid i533.
i'm still using the regular duracell ultra batteries that came with it. well, they are almost dead. so i'm wondering if i hook it up to my computer if it will charge? you know, like ipods and phones.

thanks.

i dont think you can charge it! 'cause all regular batteries have a one way current so it only gives out energy not recieves it. you have different batteries that have a 2way current! you should ask about those in an electronics shop.i think they are just called rechargeable batteries.

Q: I want to get my hair cut. I'm so unsure of what I want. I picked out my fave style for me.

Pic of me: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y294/mvinlover/Extra/l_8073facd243328ec72e2cfdf30145dbc.jpg

Style I want: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y294/mvinlover/Extra/theoneIwant.jpg

Would this look good on me??

Yeah! I think it'll look stunning on you! Only remember to keep your hair looking like that every day is hard work! My friend has the same style and she has to get up half an hour earlier just to fix her hair! But I'd say GO 4 IT!!!

Q: Can anyone tell me what the tuition is for the South Hampstead High School in London is????? (Also its an all girls school....if that helps.)

Thanks so much!!

no problem,
it depends on if you are in lower school or upper school.
the fees for lower school are £8650
and for upper school students they are £9300
Hope that helps, good luck!

Q: http://www.spiritwearusa.com/images/pointe%20shoes%20and%20ballet%20slippers.jpg

In this picture, there is a pair of pointe shoes.

Ive had my pointe shoes for like .. 2 months now. They are very very unflexible. They don't bend like the ones in the pictures do.

Is there a way for me to get them like that?
Thank you!

It all depends on the brand!
to break in my pointe shoes i find it easier to close them in a door. scraping the sole sometimes helps. If that didn't help you should consider using a different brand. I suggest :
Gaynor Minden.
you dont even have to break GM's in. They are a little more expensive but they last longer and there is a lower risk of injury when wearin them.
Go on www.dancer.com to get more info!
let me know on what you have decided!

Q: 14/f
today is sunday and i have a science project due friday. we are supposed to make up a lab to do and i kinda put it off so what can i do if im pinched for time?

make out a plan. If you have to do research, do it in the school library or during a free class.
you can also ask your friend to help.

Q: Okay... I am like.... in love with one of my really good guy friends. But I don't know if he likes me. I recently had a friend-M.- who I hate now, and she told him she likes him... and he didn't like her. Now they're not friends. I have two best friends... A. and L.. A. likes him as much as I do and he knows she likes him cause he figured it out but I don't think he likes her. I'm debateing wheather (sp?) or not to tell him.... I'm worried if I don't I'll burst... and I know he thinks I don't like him because he saw a note I passed to A. about how I like a guy with gold/brown eyes and he asked me if it was him and I chickened out and said no like 12 times. I'm so upset. I'm torn. And he sort of likes my best friend L. but he would go out with her to make M. jelous. I'm so torn and upset.. but I think I'm in love. And if you think I should tell him... how should I go about it?? WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????

Hello!
i also used to like one of my good guy friend(L).
actually it was more than like it was love!
so i asked one of the guys in his class to ask L to describe the girl he likes.
so L described me.
then i asked him out, he said ok and now we've been goin out for 3months!
good luck with that guy1 let me know if it works out!!!!

Q: Hey!
K so, I got a new babysitting job this weekend, and I havnt met the kids yet. All I know is that they are a three year old boy and a five year old girl. I have to babysit for about 6 hours, from 11 am to 5 pm. and I'm not sure if they are going to take a nap or not, but I need to try and find some things to do with them. Like I can take them out in the back yard and stuff, but six hours is a long time. Is there anything I can bring to get through the boring parts of the day? Oh, ps, it's supposed to rain, so I kinda doubt I will be able to take them outside for very long.
Thanks!

Usually when I babysitt I bring this box with me. its called a "kid kit" I have some toys and books and colouring stuff in there! i have found
out that kids prefere to play with something thats not theirs but they like it!
bye!

I agree. I think you should try to talk to your mum. If you dont wanna, you dont have to!
Besides you are who you are! There is not anything wrong with that!
Talk to her and let me know how it goes.
Good luck!
P.S.
My best friend is a guy too!
