Halloween is a great occasion for reminding us how important looks are.  Whether or not you dressed up in a costume, your appearance gave messages to the people around you. Our appearance is ALWAYS talking so it is important that you pay attention to it and make sure it gives off the messages that you want to be communicating. I strongly recommend that you always present yourself in the best way possible because you never get a second chance for a first impression and you just never know when you will meet someone great.

Ask a woman what she looks for in a man whom she’d like to date and most women would say that they find success, among other things, as an attractive quality in a potential partner.  

But what if the man happens to be more successful than the woman?  Well, that would not be perceived as an issue. In fact, some women would see this as an added bonus. Luckily for us ladies, the notion that you should find a man who can support you is drilled into our heads via our parents, religions, and Disney movies

Ever had a couple of pals of yours who started to date?  It’s not totally out of left field. Your guy pal likes you and so does your female friend, so why wouldn’t they like each other? They’ve got at least one thing in common. But when they suddenly discover they have more mutual interests than just you, the situation can indeed become a slippery slope.

Here are five tips to navigate this tricky situation:

Get-Rich-Quick schemes are not a new concept.  After all, isn’t the “American Dream” the hope that one day, through hard work and determination, we will become so disgustingly rich that we will be able to afford to buy our dream house, and then turn around and sell that dream house for a profit?

If we get to skip the hard work and determination part, well, that’s even better now, isn’t it?  Unfortunately, there is usually some kind of shady business attached to these get schemes.  

Said “shady business” can be a number of things: from stealing your four-year-old’s identity (giving them bad credit before they are even able to pronounce “life ruining debt”), to soliciting your dog to buy the latest and greatest Frisbee (it smells like a squirrel AND it throws itself!), these get rich schemers will stop at nothing to “make” a quick buck.

But perhaps no business is shadier then that of the extortionist.  Their goal is to blackmail you into giving them money, and lots of it.  The tricky thing about these extortionists is that they can at first appear to be many things, an employee, a pal, or even a lover.

Especially a lover.

Meet Tammy. Tammy loves to wear dresses, play with dolls and is a seemingly happy 11-year-old. Tammy also happens to be a boy, whose birth name is Thomas. Thomas was adopted at the age of two and his parents, Pauline and Debra (yes, he has lesbian parents), noticed him identifying as a female from a very young age. At the tender age of seven, Thomas became severely depressed and threatened to mutilate his genitals. It was then he was diagnosed with gender identity disorder.

Let me get this out of the way. I’m a nerd. I’ve had a fascination with video games since I was old enough to write “Nintendo” on everything in the house so my parents would know exactly what I wanted for Christmas.

Recently, I thought I’d try online gaming. I have always been hesitant because I heard how addicting it was. I decided I’d follow the old addict cliché of “I can quit whenever I want to,” and gave the game Order and Chaos Online a try on my iPad. The game is basically a World of Warcraft (or WOW as it’s known in the industry) clone. WOW is a massive multiplayer online fantasy game where you create a character who is charged to do various quests in which you can team up with, or fight, other real life players.

It’s a fascinating concept. You are socially interacting with real people from all over the world, yet are doing so behind the safety of a self-created avatar. With only short bits of text as a way to interact, all my study in voice inflection, body language and pretty much all forms of nonverbal communication were useless. I’m a huge fan of real world interaction so this was a social experience unlike any I’d had. Imagine my surprise when I found myself in a life and death situation. A REAL life and death situation...

Speaking with Nicole Daedome, founder of One Taste, is always an exciting adventure. Her sex-positive speech on increasing your pleasure and your partner’s pleasure through OM techniques is always incredibly insightful. In this interview, we discuss her upcoming events and seminars, as well as what new, exciting ventures on the horizon for her. She is truly a powerful trailblazer and I feel so fortunate to speak with her on the incredible benefits of a healthy sex life.

Like a lot of women, I was taught growing up that my life would not be complete until I found a man, got married, and had babies. However, my life didn’t quite turn out that way.

Recently on September 11, a frisky couple on a Frontier Airlines flight took too long in the bathroom and started making other passengers nervous. Naturally tensions were high on the 10th anniversary of a very tragic day in this country, and so passengers alerted crew members that this horny couple could be planning something much more deviant than whatever was going on in the bathroom.

Every year, no matter how hard I try to avoid the gaping pop-cultural black hole that is the Miss Universe pageant, I am sucked into its world of fake tans, sequins, and thinly gilded narcissism.

It pulls me in with its promises of fantastical evening gowns, and the forlorn hope that I will get to see one of the contestants bite it hard on the runway, resulting in a wardrobe malfunction, which may or may not allow me to see a foreign nip slip.

“Good things come to those who wait”… or do they?

When it comes to marriage, some couples take their sweet time making that commitment, while others jump right in! Are you a girl holding out for a promise of “till death do us part” – or maybe your man is ready to walk down the aisle, and you would rather take some time to feel things out.
