don't organize fashion shows!!!

shekharj @shekharj (296) • India 16 Feb 07

during fashion shows those kinds of outfits are on display which we can't use in real life. i think fashion shows are nothing but only a means to show flash. girls hardly wearing anything make long parades in front of a number of...

pinkskies I'd like to believe that fashion shows are designers' means of expressing themselves, so I don't see anything wrong with organizing these shows. The functionality and wearability of the clothes featured is a different story, although I'm quite sure the...

Supermodel dateless

MsTickle @MsTickle (25180) • Australia 13 Feb 07

Elle mcPherson states she is unable to get a date. She's very tall of course and some find her beautiful but are men overwhelmed by her celebrity perhaps. Why would she be unable to get a date do you think?

pinkskies It might just also be because people are intimidated by her supermodel status and the fact that she's really tall and beautiful? Or maybe she just hasn't come across someone she's also interested in? I don't know--but if someone like her can't get a...

pinkskies Most of the time I'm in flip flops coz where I live, the weather and environment is just right for beach wear. Flats and sneaks are also staples, although I appreciate nice heels as well. I just have a hard time finding those that don't hurt.

eatyourtofu @eatyourtofu (50) • Philippines 7 Feb 07

Is credit card necessary?

frosthon @frosthon (2249) • Singapore 31 Oct 06

I have friends who owes the bank plenty of money with credit cards. A few even went bankrupt. So is it any good at all?

4 responses

pinkskies A credit card can work to your advantage if you can control your spending. The golden rule for me is to not pay anything via credit card if I don't have the money to pay for it in cash. The reason I use the card is to save up on rewards points which can be...

pinkskies I'm sure you have talents too, they're just not developed yet or you don't know that you have them. :) Mine is probably dancing. Or if you could count making friends or being a good PR person, then that too.

pinkskies I don't have issues with body types so yes, I do think that overweight girls can still be very attractive. As Dove's campaign for real beauty says, we have a long way to go in trying to change society's limited perception of what beauty is, but for now, 1 vote...
