The Intern Who Wears Dries Van Noten and YSL

According to POPSEOUL SM Entertainment wants the blogs that posted up Boa’s leaked track, “I did it for love” taken down. The song was supposed to be released on February 18th on 5 U.S. based sites, including Myspace, and Facebook, but since it’s everywhere, their plans for promotion has been thwarted. If anything, the “early” distribution has promoted BoA’s music.

Listen to the 1:30 preview of BoA’s “I did it for love” here (in Korean)

Enjoy it before its released in MARCH BABY!

MWHAHAHAH!!

Whitney Port needs to go home. I am so sick of seeing her.

WHY?

1. She’s U.G.L.Y
2. doesn’t have a celebrity presence.
3. her fashion is shit.
4. talks uneducated.
5. no personality.

1+2+3+4+5=
DIASTER

Go home whit

Shoulder pads baby!!

MARC JACOBS has the biggest shoulder pads of the week.

ARE YOU READY KIDS??

Microsoft is going to start opening retail stores.

i’m only confused with the fact that they sell primarily software. a store just for software? or are they going to expand?

enlighten me gates

absolutely LOVE IT.

Too replicated. Even though Boys Over Flower is from a Japanese manga anime, the fashion and cinematography is in the likes of Gossip Girls.

Unfortunate. Props go out to Gossip Girls for the better version of the 90’s OC.

according to one of the ads from my blog…

1. Vibrant White, the obvious #1 Choice. The 60-day money back guarantee is a bold claim and any company that can advertise that must be certain their product is effective and efficient.

2. In Office - Professional Teeth Whitening has been on the market for several years now and is available at most dental offices.

3. Crest Whitestrips Premium Plus showed results of 3-4 shades after 2 weeks of use even though it was more expensive than the Vibrant White Pen.

4. Crest Original Whitening Strips performed as expected, 1-2 shades noticed after 2 weeks of use, however the good news is that the tooth sensitivity was reported to be bearable and not overly irritating to finish the full 30 minutes required of wearing the white strips.

5. GoSmile revealed results of up to 3 shades in 2 weeks, although the price was double that of its competitors.

TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s ABOUT TIME.

$500 Retail. Perfect to support the recession.

Back in 04, they were nobody’s (sorry boys, i still love you), but now theyve made it to McD  Commercials. I’m so proud of FM!

The U.S. Postal Service announced Tuesday that the price of a first-class stamp will rise to 44 cents on May 11.

Buffeted by rising costs and declining mail volume, the Postal Service lost $2.8 billion last year and, unless the economy turns around, is headed toward much larger losses this year.

The agency could have cited extraordinary circumstances and asked the independent Postal Regulatory Commission for larger increases, but officials felt that would only result in a greater decline in mail volume.

The post office has been cutting costs, reducing work hours, and has asked Congress to ease requirements for advance funds for retiree benefits and to allow mail to be delivered five days a week instead of six.

Other changes taking effect May 11:

* The postcard stamp increases 1-cent to 27 cents.
* The first ounce of a large envelope increases 5 cents to 88 cents.
* The first ounce of a parcel increases 5 cents to $1.22.
* New international postcard and letter prices are, for one ounce, 75 cents to Canada; 79 cents to Mexico; and 98 cents elsewhere.

Most Postal Service shipping services prices were adjusted in January and will not change in May.

U serious?

After the Marc Jacobs Condoms, now AWANG?

Wang has teamed up with Proper Attire to create the packaging for the limited edition condoms. The condoms will be in goody bags at Wags New York Fashion Week show on Valentines Day.

Those not lucky enough to be attending the show can also but the condoms from Thompson Hotels, and Proper Attire’s website for $5.99.

How sad… Really.

Rihanna was planning on celebrating her 21st birthday on Feb. 20 with a big, splashy party in New York City.

The bash for about 200 or so guests was to have had a carnival theme with various “sideshow” attractions, says a source familiar with the planning.

“They were talking about it being at Gotham Hall, but I don’t think it was definite just yet,” the source says.

Gotham Hall is perfect for a Carnival Theme party, I think….

As a former Public Relation account executive, I am flabbergasted by her new swarovski jewels line. Despite all the trouble and lack of popularity among her fashion jewelry line that was available only at Macy’s and better Dillards, it was a complete utter failure.

Now…

The line, named Cactus Flower, will feature a fun assortment of Swarovski stones, charm bracelets, and chains inspired by Saint-Tropez. Adornments range from $18 to $24 and will be available at department stores nationwide in the Spring.

She put 2% of her opinions into her Jessica Simpson jewelry and never promoted it to any TV or publication press releases that most of America didnt even know of her jewelry collection.

Best of luck to this one… SIIIIIIIIIIKE.

Is the economical situation THAT BAD?

A recent survey from consulting firm Brand Keys found that Americans will spend an average of 15 percent less this Valentine’s Day than they did last year, marking the first such drop in years.

A separate study, conducted by BIGresearch for the National Retail Federation, found that consumers plan to spend an average of $102.50 on Valentine’s Day this year, down from $122.98 last year.

Overall, the International Council of Shopping Centers is expecting U.S. chain store sales to be down 1 to 2 percent in February, as compared to the same period last year.

A drop in Valentine’s Day sales would mark yet another blow to retailers who are still reeling from a weak winter holiday season, in which nervous consumers tightened their belts because of the recession. The Valentine’s Day survey demonstrates that economic uncertainty continues, said Robert Passikoff, the founder of Brand Keys.

John McHugh, a self-employed financial planner, used to regularly spend about $300 sending Valentine’s Day flowers to his daughters and granddaughters, and treating his wife to a special dinner.

This year, he’s opting to send only cards.

Sad story:

Until a year and a half ago, the 28-year-old said he was earning $40,000 a year as a sales manager for an alarm company. He was let go from that job but soon landed another job, making $30,000 a year working for a call center company.

Jones, who lives in Las Cruces, N.M., was laid off from that job as well, and now he’s working as a customer relations representative, earning just $8.08 an hour — less than half what he once made.

Luckily, Jones said his fiancee’s job as a paralegal is secure. Still, Jones, who was recently treated for skin cancer, has had to turn to state aid to keep up with food and child care costs. It’s something he always vowed he would never do after watching his mother struggle as a single parent raising three kids. But now, as a parent himself, he felt he had no choice.

“It sounds like a really sad story, but it’s not,” he said during a recent break from work. “We’re able to make it day-to-day, but it’s not like it used to be. Valentine’s Day is a joke because it’s a luxury, you know?”

General Motors cutting 10,000 salaried jobs.

General Motors Corp. is planning to slash another 10,000 salaried jobs this year, saying the cuts are unavoidable with a government restructuring deadline looming and industrywide sales in one of the worst downturns in history.

Most of the cuts announced Tuesday are expected to take place by May 1. GM said the cuts will vary by global regions depending on staffing levels and market conditions.

GM has yet to announce its fourth-quarter and full-year 2008 financial results, but analysts expect the automaker’s losses to total in the billions of dollars for both periods.

GM reported a $2.5 billion loss in the third quarter alone and said it burned through $6.9 billion in cash during that period, adding to urgent warnings that it would run out of cash without government aid.

my question is… who buys GM cars? They so gone.

Octuplet’s mom on food stamps, publicist says.. WTF

Nadya Suleman, the mother of the octuplets born last month, gets $490 a month in food stamps, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday evening.

During the interview with Curry, Suleman said, “I’m not receiving help from the government. I’m not trying to expect anything from anybody. [I] just wanted to do it on my own. Any resources that someone would really, really want to help us, I will accept, I would embrace.”

Curry told Suleman that many people think she had the octuplets in the hope of making money off her story.

Someone please tell this psycho to STOP.

so sad…

Rite Aid. (Ticker symbol: RAD; about 100,000 employees; 1-year stock-price decline: 92%). This drugstore chain tried to boost its performance by acquiring competitors Brooks and Eckerd in 2007. But there have been some nasty side effects, like a huge debt load that makes it the most leveraged drugstore chain in the U.S., according to Zacks Equity Research. That big retail investment came just as megadiscounter Wal-Mart was starting to sell prescription drugs, and consumers were starting to cut bank on spending. Management has twice lowered its outlook for 2009. Prognosis: Mounting losses, with no turnaround in sight.

Claire’s Stores. (Privately owned; about 18,000 employees.) Leon Black’s once-renowned private-equity firm, the Apollo Group, paid $3.1 billion for this trendy teen-focused accessory store in 2007, when buyout funds were bulging. But cash flow has been negative for much of the past year and analysts believe Claire’s is close to defaulting on its debt. A horrible retail outlook for 2009 offers no relief, suggesting Claire’s could follow Linens ‘n Things - another Apollo purchase - and declare Chapter 11, possibly shuttering all of its 3,000-plus stores.

[See 5 pieces missing from Obama’s stimulus plan.]

Chrysler. (Privately owned; about 55,000 employees). It’s never a good sign when management insists the company is not going out of business, which is what CEO Bob Nardelli has been doing lately. Of the three Detroit automakers, Chrysler is the most endangered, with a product portfolio that’s overreliant on gas-guzzling trucks and SUVs and almost totally devoid of compelling small cars. A recent deal with Fiat seems dubious, since the Italian automaker doesn’t have to pony up any money, and Chrysler desperately needs cash. The company is quickly burning through $4 billion in government bailout money, and with car sales down 40 percent from recent peaks, Chrysler may be the weakling that can’t cut it in tough times.

Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group. (DTG; about 7,000 employees; stock down 95%). This car-rental company is a small player compared to Enterprise, Hertz, and Avis Budget. It’s also more reliant on leisure travelers, and therefore more susceptible to a downturn as consumers cut spending. Dollar Thrifty is also closely tied to Chrysler, which supplies 80 percent of its fleet. Moody’s predicts that if Chrysler declares Chapter 11, Dollar Thrifty would suffer deeply as well.

Realogy Corp. (Privately owned; about 13,000 employees). It’s the biggest real-estate brokerage firm in the country, but that’s a bad thing when there are double-digit declines in both sales and prices, as there were in 2009. Realogy, which includes the Coldwell Banker, ERA, and Sotheby’s franchises, also carries a high debt load, dating to its purchase by the Apollo Group in 2007 - the very moment when the housing market was starting to invert from a soaring ride into a sickening nosedive. Realogy has been trying to refinance much of its debt, prompting lawsuits. One deal was denied by a judge in December, reducing the firm’s already tight wiggle room.

[See why “Wall Street talent” is an oxymoron.]

Station Casinos. (Privately owned, about 14,000 employees). Las Vegas has already been creamed by a biblical real-estate bust, and now it may face the loss of its home-grown gambling joints, too. Station - which runs 15 casinos off the strip that cater to locals - recently failed to make a key interest payment, which is often one of the last steps before a Chapter 11 filing. For once, the house seems likely to lose.

Loehmann’s Capital Corp. (Privately owned; about 1,500 employees). This clothing chain has the right formula for lean times, offering women’s clothing at discount prices. But the consumer pullback is hitting just about every retailer, and Loehmann’s has a lot less cash to ride out a drought than competitors like Nordstrom Rack and TJ Maxx. If Loehmann’s doesn’t get additional financing in 2009 - a dicey proposition, given skyrocketing unemployment and plunging spending - the chain could run out of cash.

Sbarro. (Privately owned; about 5,500 employees). It’s not the pizza that’s the problem. Many of this chain’s 1,100 storefronts are in malls, which is a double whammy: Traffic is down, since consumers have put away their wallets. Sbarro can’t really boost revenue by adding a breakfast or late-night menu, like other chains have done. And competitors like Domino’s and Pizza Hut have less debt and stronger cash flow, which could intensify pressure on Sbarro as key debt payments come due in 2009.

Six Flags. (SIX; about 30,000 employees; stock down 84%). This theme-park operator has been losing money for several years, and selling off properties to try to pay down debt and get back into the black. But the ride may end prematurely. Moody’s expects cash flow to be negative in 2009, and if consumers aren’t spending during the peak summer season, that could imperil the company’s ability to pay debts coming due later this year and in 2010.

Blockbuster. (BBI; about 60,000 employees; stock down 57%). The video-rental chain has burned cash while trying to figure out how to maximize fees without alienating customers. Its operating income has started to improve just as consumers are cutting back, even on movies. Video stores in general are under pressure as they compete with cable and Internet operators offering the same titles. A key test of Blockbuster’s viability will come when two credit lines expire in August. One possible outcome, according to Valueline, is that investors take the company private and then go public again when market conditions are better.

Krispy Kreme. (KKD; about 4,000 employees; stock down 50%). The donuts might be good, but Krispy Kreme overestimated Americans’ appetite - and that’s saying something. This chain overexpanded during the donut heyday of the 1990s - taking on a lot of debt - and now requires high volumes to meet expenses and interest payments. The company has cut costs and closed underperforming stores, but still hasn’t earned an operating profit in three years. And now that consumers are cutting back on everything, such improvements may fail to offset top-line declines, leading Krispy Kreme to seek some kind of relief from lenders over the next year.

Landry’s Restaurants. (LNY; about 17,000 employees; stock down 66%). This restaurant chain, which operates Chart House, Rainforest Café, and other eateries, needs $400 million in new financing to finalize a buyout deal dating to last June. If lenders come through, the company should have enough cash to ride out the recession. But at least two banks have already balked, leading to downgrades of the company’s debt and the prospect of a cash-flow crunch.

Sirius Satellite Radio. (SIRI - parent company; about 1,000 employees; stock down 96%). The music rocks, but satellite radio has yet to be profitable, and huge contracts for performers like Howard Stern are looking unsustainable. Sirius is one of two satellite-radio services owned by parent company Sirius XM, which was formed when Sirius and XM merged last year. So far, the merger hasn’t generated the savings needed to make the company profitable, and Moody’s thinks there’s a “high likelihood” that Sirius will fail to repay or refinance its debt in 2009. One outcome could be a takeover, at distressed prices, by other firms active in the satellite business.

Trump Entertainment Resorts Holdings. (TRMP; about 9,500 employees; stock down 94%). The casino company made famous by The Donald has received several extensions on interest payments, while it tries to sell at least one of its Atlantic City properties and pay down a stack of debt. But with casino buyers scarce, competition circling, and gamblers nursing their losses from the recession, Trump Entertainment may face long odds of skirting bankruptcy.

BearingPoint. (BGPT; about 16,000 employees; stock down 21%). This Virginia-based consulting firm, spun out of KPMG in 2001, is struggling to solve its own operating problems. The firm has consistently lost money, revenue has been falling, and management stopped issuing earnings guidance in 2008. Stable government contracts generate about 30 percent of the firm’s business, but the firm may sell other divisions to help pay off debt. With a key interest payment due in April, management needs to hustle - or devise its own exit strategy.

No.10 - Admire yourself in the mirror

Sure, Adonis, your biceps are big and your abs are tight, but your love affair with the gym mirror is just plain creepy. The bar narcissist who fixates on his James Bond poses in the mirror before, during and after he talks to a woman is equally funny and disturbing. By all means, check the mirror to make sure you haven’t got broccoli between your teeth or a stream of snot across your cheek, but if you can’t get enough of yourself in the mirror, chances are other people quickly will.

No.9 - Pick yourself

You see it all the time: the guy in the parked car next to you picking his nose like he’s grabbing for a coin that’s just out of reach, a salesman at a hardware store scratching his crotch like he’s getting wax off a table or a guy at the urinal driving a finger into his ass like he’s trying to read his own temperature. Sure, we all get itches, but satisfying some of them in public can spell more harm than relief, and is just one of those things guys shouldn’t do in public — ever.

No.8 - Sit with crossed legs

You’re talking to a guy at work, he’s telling you about a new project you’ll be working on and then it happens: In the middle of his ramble about the crucial importance of the project and your much-needed “buy-in,” he crosses his legs, one over the other. Hmmm, suddenly his bold, tough pronouncements lose some of their ferocity. True, some guys can pull it off. However, on the wrong pair of legs, what’s intended to express comfort and ease can quickly turn into a pretentious way of sitting. Better to keep your feet on the ground.

No.7 - Blow your nose without a tissue

Unless you accidentally inhaled Agent Orange, this is one of those things guys shouldn’t do in public. Always have a pack of tissues handy, or, if you don’t and have to blow your nose, ask for one from someone nearby. If you feel shy about asking for a tissue, consider that the people around you would no doubt appreciate it more if it will prevent a river of snot from shooting in front of their feet.

No.6 - Play wrestle

You’ve tried out your best DDT, suplex, bodyslam, and piledriver on most of your friends, but here’s the thing: you did it in grade school and high school. If you’re still play wrestling with your buddies in public, maybe join a gym to do Greco-Roman wrestling or try out for the WWE instead. What have you got left to lose? Most of your dignity and audience will be long gone after you perform this stunt guys shouldn’t do in public.

No.5 - Puke

We’ve all had too much to drink and thrown up the contents of our evening. While you may be amazed at your mass of spaghetti, red wine, the purple shot you drank for that hot girl’s birthday, and foam from two pitchers of beer on the ground, the public would rather keep drinking and not see the contents of your stomach. If the room’s spinning out of control, do your best to find a closed bathroom stall to save your evening (and everyone else’s). You’ll not only avoid the humiliation of puking in front of an audience, but if you freshen up your breath and stick to drinking water, you could keep partying (and keep your dignity).

No.4 - Argue with your girlfriend

You could have a valid reason why you’re arguing with your girlfriend, but everyone around you will only see you one way: as a hothead. And if you’re with other couples at a party, you’ve now cranked up the discomfort by creating an awkward atmosphere for everyone by engaging in this thing guys shouldn’t do in public. By trying to solve your nuclear debates at home with your girlfriend, you’ll help save the public from the negative fallout.

No.3 - Write longhand in a journal

Unless you’re a calligrapher or a Mennonite, you can use a laptop to write your metaphysical poetry and emo heartbreak. You may not believe it, but your writing won’t lose its meaning if it’s not transcribed in longhand. Most cafés have Wi-Fi now so you can just add to the symphony of other people tapping away on their laptops. True, while you might not be able to dry blood on your diary pages, you can still slap a big fat ankh sticker on the back of your jet-black laptop to let everyone know how mysterious and tortured you are.

No.2 - Pee conspicuously

As you know, one of the top 10 things only men can do is pee anywhere. However, that doesn’t mean you should. A hidden spot behind a dumpster or alleyway to relieve yourself works fine (kind of), but if you simply turn your back behind a car thinking you’re hiding yourself, remember there are tons of people in front of you that can still see you clear as day. Plus, no one cares to sidestep a river of piss just to get into his or her car.

No.1 - Cry

Yes, it’s a given you might cry at a funeral. However, do you really need to shed a tear at the latest romantic comedy you took your girlfriend to go see? We all get emotional and have our ups and downs, but having empathy doesn’t mean having to turn on the waterworks. If your girlfriend weeps at a movie or while she’s reading, by all means comfort her. However, if you’re also drowning in a pool of tears, it’s going to make it a much harder job.

From what men said

1.  Apply full make-up
OK, look. Refreshing your lip gloss after a meal is one thing, but putting your whole face on while riding the bus or subway (where no one should do any proposing!) is so not cool. Set your alarm 10 minutes earlier, and do your makeup before you leave your apartment. A woman has to retain a little mystique, you know.

2.  Pull out your thong from your butt crack
If it’s so uncomfortable in the first place that you have to go digging in places you really shouldn’t, maybe it’s time to switch to underwear with a little more coverage, hmm?

3.  Sit cross-legged while wearing a skirt
Just don’t.

4.  Show off your midriff
I don’t care if you’ve got washboard abs, if you could bounce a quarter of your belly, or if you’re only 16. Unless you’re on the beach, at the pool, or working for tips, no one, I mean no one, should be running around with an exposed midriff. It’s just not classy.

5.  Talk on your phone in a public bathroom or dressing room
Bathrooms and dressing rooms are sort of like Vegas. What happens in them should stay in them, and you with your phone broadcasting every sound to God knows who and subjecting the rest of us to some inane conversation that can absolutely wait until you no longer have your pants around the ankles is not honoring that sacred code.

6.  Ask your boyfriend if he loves you
It’s uncomfortable for him, it’s uncomfortable for us, so save your strange pillow talk for when you’re horizontal.

7.  Tweeze errant hairs or pop a pimple
While I understand the temptation of removing any evidence that you’re less than perfect, doing so in public not only underscores your imperfections, it makes you look, well, kinda nasty.

8.  Criticize your boyfriend
Sure, he may deserve it—especially if he’s treating a waitress like crap or ogling other women, but there’s a time and a place for everything and in public when everyone can hear your private conversation is not it.

9.  Adjust the girls
We’ve all been there before: a boob slips below your underwire or heads too closely to your armpit, but until you find a private spot, resist the urge to reach into your bra and readjust.

10. Pee all over the toilet seat
If you do happen to have bad aim, remember the old adage: If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat!

He’s not that into you. Sorry! from Forbes.com

He Dates Other People

Again, it is appropriate for both of you to “play the field” until a commitment is made. “But even so,” says Dr. Marshall, “you shouldn’t discuss your respective dating lives. If he’s not connected to you, he will forget about you whenever you’re apart.” If he talks about other women to you, it could be a sign that he doesn’t take your feelings seriously.

He Doesn’t Mind If You “Date Other People”

Of course, when you first start seeing each other, it is totally normal to date other people. But after some time, if he wants to keep it casual and could care less what you do when he’s not around, then it’s time to say goodbye. “If he doesn’t consider you a prize,” says Dr. Marshall, “then he’s not that into you.”

He Only Wants To Hang Out On His Turf

Dr. Marshall says to really look out for this one. “This is a biggie!” If he’s not willing to make the effort to come to you, then it implies that he wants you to do all the work in the relationship. “If he’s into you, he will be interested in your home, your friends, your life. If there is no interest, it is not a relationship.”

90% Of The Time, You Call Him

All relationships are built upon mutuality. It’s important to take these little signs into consideration, and remember that you deserve better. Dr. Marshall advises, “If you do all the calling, he’s not that invested. Step back, and put yourself on phone restriction. If he’s interested, he’ll call. If he’s not, he won’t.” Yes, it will be painful when you realize that he hasn’t called in a few weeks. But it will allow you to realize that you do, indeed, deserve better, and eventually, you’ll be able to move on.

He Always Has An Excuse To Get Out Of Meeting Your Friends And Family

This relates back to the reality that if he’s interested, he wants to be a part of what is important to you. He wants to meet the people who you grew up with, who raised you, and who you spend most of your days with. “If he’s not willing to meet your family and friends,” says Dr. Marshall, “it is because he does not envision himself being a part of your life.”

He Doesn’t Plan In Advance

“If he’s interested,” warns Dr. Marshall, “there will be a future-mindedness to the relationship.” This doesn’t just apply to the long-term future. Obviously, if you haven’t been dating for all that long, you’re not going to talk about your plans for next year’s Thanksgiving. But if he can’t even book you a night next week, it’s a problem. “Healthy relationships are always forward-moving,” says Dr. Marshall. “Even if he’s busy the next weekend, he will acknowledge his busyness and mention that he wants to see you at some point.”

He Only Answers When He Doesn’t Know It’s You

It may seem obvious–clearly, he’s avoiding your calls. You should never have to trick a man into picking up the phone. It’s easy to make excuses. (He has to answer no-caller-ID calls; they could be from work), but the bottom line is, he should answer your calls because he wants to, not because he has to. Another red flag, says Dr. Marshall, “He only calls from restricted numbers. And because you don’t know his last name, address, mother or best friend, you cannot call information and get his phone number.”

He Forgot Your Birthday … Three Years In A Row

So three years is a little extreme; hopefully, by this point, you’ve realized things are not going to change. But whether it’s your birthday, your anniversary, your Friday night dinner date, or simply picking up the dry-cleaning that he’s forgetting, when it happens more that a few times, it’s a real problem. He doesn’t have the consideration to think of you when you’re not there. And Dr. Marshall points out how this can take a toll on you: “Birthdays and anniversaries become painful reminders that time is racing by and nothing has changed.”

Most Time Spent Together Is Between Midnight And Sunrise
ust like most living things, a relationship needs to see the light of day. Only seeing you late at night means you’re not a priority. He’s spending “normal” hours with other people, and knows that he can simply give you a ring when he’s done with them. Once this happens two or three times, it becomes routine, and it’s a difficult pattern to break.

He Told You, “I’m Just Not That Into You”

This may be the most important of all. It’s easy to rationalize his feelings and tell yourself that he’s going through a hard time and will change his mind soon, but, when it comes down to it, you’re only making excuses. “Believe everything he tells you about himself–unless he is bragging,” says Dr. Marshall. “In other words, if he says, ‘You’re not really my girlfriend,’ believe him. Besides, if you think he’s a liar, then why are you with him?” Face it. You deserve someone better.

10 Signs She’s Just Not That Into You

1. Message in A Message
You call her, you leave a voicemail, and she texts you back. If she really wanted to reach out and touch someone, she would have rung you.

2. Conflict of Interests
Sure, everyone has a busy schedule, but it’s the quality of the excuse that counts. If it’s, “I have to clean my apartment,” she doesn’t want to get dirty with you.

3. Private Eyes
Whether you’re having dinner for two or getting down on the dance floor, if she’s not looking at you, she’s not looking for you.

4. Please
You’re generous in the sack. She doesn’t return the favor. That’s the only clue you need.

5. Easy Access
At a party, if she’s talking to Joe Schmo and Wendy Whatsherface more than she’s chatting with you, you’re nothing special to her.

6. Rider’s Block
You shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to get her to give you the time of day. If you have plans, and she invites other people along, it’s time to say bye-bye.

7. Friend in Deed
She tells you what her friends think about you—and it’s not all good. This level of regurgitation is TMI and intended to drive you out the door.

8. Cuddle Monster
She has sex with you, but that’s it. She’s using you. Say adios—unless that’s all you want, too.

9. Multiple Choice
If she so much as mentions other sexy guys, you have to forget her—because she won’t forget about them.

10. Dressed to Kill
From lipstick to low-cut tops, if she never uses any of the tricks of the lady trade to look her best for you, she doesn’t think you’re worth her effort.
