Ahhh! I have a major problem! A good friend of mine is having a party for her 16th birthday and she's invited this guy I'm pretty into at the moment (he's pretty buzzed about me being there - the first thing he asked when he got told was "Is Kat gonna be there?".. BUT anyway I'm going off topic)

"So... that's pretty great then isn't it!" I hear you say, but no.

It's only a costume party. I hate costume parties! It's enough hassle finding a costume but then feeling comfortable in one is pretty problematic for me. I'm VERY self conscious, so although I wanna 'dress to impress' (if you catch my drift!) I don't wanna look like a slag in the process - the theme is "movie characters" and so I've been looking up Alice in wonderland. Dorothy from the wizard of oz. slutty.. slutty.. slutty.. slutty! Why does every reasonably nice costume have to be so short and 'sexy'!?

Anyway yeah, does anyone have any ideas for costumes - and it would be immense if you could show me a site which has reasonably fair priced, good quality, non-slutty costumes!

Remember - I wanna dress to impress!

Hm. For impressive in a courtly way, Cinderella's a good call, especially if you're gunning for the Disney set. Elizabeth Swann from in Pirates of the Caribbean would be impressive, but also difficult (and likely costly); you could also go for any of the Renaissance ladies (From the princesses in Shrek to the Guenevere variants) or something like the ladies dresses from 'Becoming Jane".

For the really distinctive, (and classy), you can't go wrong with Hepburn, or Jackie O.

Find your nearest professional costume store (ask the Drama teacher at your school). A night's rental shouldn't run you much, and should get you a good deal of costume; just be sure to sign up to rent well in advance.

Just try to find out what he likes. I say Marylin Monroe. She is pretty cool. I'm sure he will like what ever you are.

If you wanna impress a guy without appearing slutty, dress feminine and romantic. Long, full skirts rather than short, tight skirts. Maybe something with a petticoat. How about Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind?

The Wizard of Oz Dorothy isn't too slutty. Or you could be Nancy Drew, just by using stuff around your house. She wears skirts, loafers, and a nice top. You could even flip your hair out to look like her and carry a magnifying glass. That is not slutty, and nancy drew is in movies. Or if you aren't into that you could be Pippi Longstocking. Wear bright tights like orange or two different color long socks, black shoes, a reddish shirt and an apron over it. And you could do your hair in two pigtails.

Does it ever annoy you that you're single?
random-ren asked 12 days ago

Yes, most of the time! I really wish I had a boyfriend/girlfriend!

A little, because I feel left out.

Not really...

Nope! I have too much fun being single!

What's there to be annoyed about?

Describe your ideal first date; Where do you go? What do you wear? How does the date end?
I usually ask the girl where she wants to go and try to create something based on that. Typical stuff, dinner, maybe a movie, bowling. Ideally I would give her a short kiss goodnight if things went well but that's the most. I wouldn't push for too much more.

Afterwards..what will your date know about you?
I would tell her about my job and a little bit about my family to give her an idea of my background. I would hope she would think I am a genuine and caring person.

Would you date me?

A Girl Answered Is feeling and touching your partner sexually abusing? When I was with my boyfriend I used to touch him whilst he slept and vice versa. It shows he loves you and fancies you.
