How Common Is Female Nipple Hair?

DearSugar — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 10:00:00 -0800

Hair on a guy's chest - now that can be sexy, but when it comes to women, hair on your breasts is not something you want to find. Or worse, it's not something you want someone else to point out. I'm sure you think that hair on a woman's nipples just shouldn't be happening, but it's more common than you might think.

According to Cosmo, a few stray strands is extremely normal. It's typical for a woman to find as many as 15 or so dark, straight strands at one time. Generally, if you have darker hair on your head, you'll have more hair on your nipples.

But just because it's common doesn't mean you're OK with it. To find out what to do about your nipple hair, read more.

If you have an abundance of strands on your girls, waxing is a good solution. Don't be embarrassed, because like I said, I'm sure your technician has seen tons of ladies with hair there. If you only have a few lonely strands, then plucking them is a good option. Clean the area with alcohol first, use clean tweezers to pluck each hair, and then wipe the area with alcohol once more to prevent infection.

I Need a Massage!

DearSugar — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 08:00:00 -0700

There are times when I am so stressed out that I just need a massage. It's totally relaxing and calms my mind and nerves brilliantly. We spend so much time giving of ourselves and helping others that sometimes, we need to stop and let someone else give to us for a change.

I've realized that not all kinds of massages are the same - some are more relaxing than others, so here's a little clarification so you can figure out what kind of stress relieving treatment would suit you best:

Swedish Massage: This is the most common type of massage. The therapist uses massage oil to apply long, gliding strokes to increase circulation towards your heart. They use firm but gentle pressure on your muscles to improve flexibility and rid tension. Everyone likes different levels of pressure so be sure to let your therapist know what makes you feel the most comfortable.

If you want to see the others then read more

Shiatsu: This type of massage involves applying pressure to specific zones on the skin that are located along the energy meridians. Therapists use their fingers, palms, elbows, and knees on your muscles to increase blood flow and circulation. It feels wonderful and allows you to relax deeply.

Thai Massage: Also called lazy man's yoga. You keep your clothes on and the massage therapist actually picks up parts of your body and stretches them for you. It feels absolutely amazing, and your muscles and bones feel completely spacious and relaxed afterwards. A session can last from 1 1/2 to 2 hours long so if you're in the mood to just lie there and drift off into dreamland, this may be better suited for a day when your muscles are really sore or if you have a specific injury.

Aromatherapy Massage: This type of massage combines soothing and deep-tissue touch with the therapeutic properties of essential oils and their scents. It's extremely relaxing and afterwards, you can take a hot steamy shower to wash off the oil, leaving you soft an enveloped in scent.

Wild Thai Light Bulb Commercial

GiggleSugar — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 13:00:00 -0700

Sylvania sells light bulbs in the U.S., but their Thai ads are way better! In this ad, a family has a picnic while Thai ghosts (and one transvestite) haunt the proceedings. The father calmly explains them, one by one, to his son--the gist being that nothing's scary when the lights are on...

Lovin' It? Thai Students Happily Work at McDonald's in US

LibertySugar — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 07:30:22 -0800

Every Summer thousands of Thai college students come to the US and change into McDonald's uniforms. They not only do it with a smile, they pay money for it.

The reward? Slapping foreign work experience - American work experience - on their resumes. Thai employers value foreign work experience, seeing it as initiative, in the country's ultracompetitive postcollege job market.

Agents (seems like the polite term) set up work visas, secure job placements, and, maybe, include plane tickets for $3,000 plus - a large sum when converted into Thai bahts. Students typically earn about half the money back; however, most consider the work experience and language skills worth it.

One student, who wound up in Mobile, AL, because she heard it was cheap, found the small town to be far from her image of America. Yet, she doesn't regret it. "Honestly," she said, “If I had money, I’d go back.”

Front Page: Protesters Trap Thai Legislators, Fed Considers Plan to Buy Debt, Report of Western Plane Down

CitizenSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 06:58:36 -0700

Thai Legislators Trapped:
Thousands of anti-government protesters surrounded the Thai Parliament today, trapping legislators inside for more than five hours. The incident followed a day of street clashes that left more than 100 people injured. The siege was an escalation of a six-week sit-in seeking to change the country’s democratic system to weaken the electoral power of the rural poor.

Fed Considers Plan to Buy Debt:
The Federal Reserve is considering a proposal to buy large amounts of unsecured short-term debt that companies use to finance daily activities. The plan is a radical move to jump start the financial system, and though it puts more taxpayer dollars in play, a radical move is seen as necessary to reinvigorate the financial system. The Dow finished below 10,000 yesterday for the first time since 2004.
Report of Western Plane Down:
Iranian news is reporting Iran has forced down a Western plane that entered its airspace. After initial reports that it was a US military plane, a claim refuted by the Pentagon, a senior Iranian official says the plane belongs to a European aid agency. Apparently the occupants of the plane have been released following questioning.

Front Page: Bush to Announce Troop Levels, Thai PM Told to Resign, Kim Jong-Il's Health Questioned

Bush on Troop Levels:
In moments, President Bush is set to order a reduction of 8,000 more combat and support troops out of Iraq by February, leaving about the same level for the rest of the year. Bush's address today may be the final stamp on the war during his presidency. Of the 146,000 US troops in Iraq, there have been hints that troops could come home in the first half of 2009 if conditions improve.

Thai PM Told to Resign:
The Thai Prime Minister has been ordered to resign after being found guilty of constitutional misdeeds on a TV cooking show. He was found to have violated the ban on ministers having outside interests by accepting money to host the show. His entire cabinet must step down as well.

Kim Jong-Il's Health Questioned:
North Korea's 60th anniversary today is marked by boasts of its "war-deterring" nuclear capabilities, and questions whether its leader, Kim Jong-Il would appear. No plans for the massive military parades usually seen have been made, and Kim Jong-Il hasn't been seen in public since mid-August. The conspicuous absence raises questions of his health.

Thai Teen Kills Taxi Driver, Video Game Pulled Off Every Shelf

LibertySugar — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 14:30:18 -0700

The strikingly violent video game Grand Theft Auto IV will no longer be sold in Thailand, after a teenager murdered a taxi driver while trying to bring the virtual violence into reality. Video retailers have pulled the game off the shelves, and replaced it with other games. As for the teen who played the game for hours a day over a few years span, he now faces a possible death sentence.

Bangkok's police chief said that the teen wanted to find out if it was as easy in real life to rob a taxi as it was in the game. He said the boy planned to use the stolen money to play the game at arcades.

While I have a low tolerance for violence (I closed my eyes during most of The Dark Knight), I can't decide if I think Thailand is overreacting to this individual's crime. To see what experts might say, read more.

Some empirical research has shown that high levels of violent video game exposure have been linked to delinquency, fighting at school, and violent criminal behavior. I wonder which is the cause, and which is the effect. Still, other research maintains that there is no connection between violence and gaming.

If the distributors of Grand Theft Auto start self-censoring, will movies, cage fighting, and other forms of violent entertainment be expected to follow?

Italian Town Bans "Ethnic" Restaurants

LibertySugar — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 06:00:13 -0800

Lucca, Italy has barred new ethnic restaurants from opening in its medieval center - but there's still no word whether an establishment could get away with putting moo shu pork on a pizza. The conservative city council says it wants to protect local specialties from an exotic-food invasion.

Hoping to clear things up, a spokesman said: "By ethnic cuisine we mean a different cuisine." Oh different, that helps? He continued: "That means no new kebabs, Thai or Lebanese restaurants." And making it even more confusing, he said a French restaurant would be allowed, but probably not a Sicilian restaurant, since they usually use Middle Eastern ingredients.

Do you think towns should be allowed to pass laws like these?

Thailand Protesters Shut Down Airport and Tourist Economy

LibertySugar — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 10:00:59 -0800

Thailand's opposition is set to form a new government, after protesters help wrestle power from the prime minister. Thai courts banished PM Somchai Wongsawat from politics thanks to electoral fraud. Shutting down Bangkok's airport proved to be the most successful protest tactic, but it also left 300,000 foreign travelers stranded.

The timing of the airport blockade couldn't have been worse, as it came during the holiday season. Tourism makes up 12 percent of the Thailand's GDP. Since the country just started to recover from the tourism slump following 2004 tsunami, it would be a shame if the latest blow leaves long-term economic damage, too. Check out these pics of Thailand's empty, but beautiful, resorts.
