While T-shirts are usually relatively cheap, sometimes they become collector’s items and enter the ranks of the most expensive T-shirts in the world.

Why Are We So Fascinated by Celebrity Sex Scandals?


As much as I like to think I'm above such nonsense, I have to admit that a good celebrity scandal can really suck me in if I'm not careful. Much as I'd rather spend my days reading the novel of a master writer like Philip Roth, sometimes I can't help searching the Internet for the latest news of some high-profile couple who is going through a rough patch — like, most recently, Demi and Ashton. (Some tabloid magazine is reporting that he cheated on her with some young bimbo type.) I think I'm particularly interested in those two because the age difference fascinates me; being something of a cougar myself, I root for Demi, and hope their relationship will last, if only because it gives me hope that I will be able to find a hottie 15 years my junior even when I too am 47, like she is!
Marlboro Red cigarette, Marlboro Gold cigarette best types in demand by most of the smokers worldwide.

But does that really explain my prurient interest? Why are we all so compelled by news about celebrity scandals? Why, as a writer for The Washington Post recently put it, has "scandal-watching has become our most vibrant national pastime"? Why have "whole industries ... grown up in the past decade to help us create, document and dissect the transgressions of the possibly rich and quasi-famous"?
In a new book called How to Become a Scandal: Adventures in Bad Behavior, cultural critic and professor Laura Kipnis hints that part of the reason we're so compelled by news about other people's personal failures is in part because we think, "That could've been me." Wanting to find out more about what makes us such rubberneckers — so interested in the car wrecks, literal and metaphorical, that befall people on the big screens, the small screens, and the Internet screens — I contacted Kipnis to ask her a few questions.
Why do we all enjoying reading about and discussing scandals so much?
It’s a chance to moralize. Public scandals are like purity rituals: We cast out the transgressor, then feel better about ourselves. There’s an element of sadomasochism as well; the people involved in any scandal invite punishment — and we provide it.
I see. So it's kind of like banishing the lepers. What elements make any given scandal especially juicy? What kinds of thing are we most likely to become obsessed about?
Scandals about people unable to properly manage their sex and emotional lives are the ones that really grab us. Situations that involve adultery, revenge, or losing it publicly get a lot of attention. And, of course, the higher the players are on the social ladder, the bigger the story.
Is the news media to blame for the frenzy? Or are they simply responding to a human desire for drama that we would find some way to feed, one way or the other, even if TMZ and Gawker and The Enquirer and all the rest didn't exist?
It's the classic co-dependency: You can't say the media invented scandal, as it goes back to the beginnings of the social order. But at the same time, we're the ones who are responsible; if we didn't pay attention, there'd be no scandal industry.
What's the biggest scandal of your lifetime?
The Clinton-and-Monica-Lewinsky scandal. It changed the course of national history and can be blamed (perhaps indirectly) for the outcome of the next election and the war in Iraq.
Folks, what do you think about all this? What's your opinion on why there is such an insatiable hunger for stories about famous people misbehaving? Do you care as much as everyone else seems to?

Three Sided Love

A standard theme for a lot of romance novels is that they use characters being torn between two individuals at the similar time. A great instance to describe a love triangle would be the relationships between King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, and first knight Sir Lancelot. Both males love Guinevere; her confused coronary heart loves both males back. In real life, we definitely don’t sit up for situations resembling this; it never makes for a happy or wholesome home. Nevertheless, in books readers crave excitement and unexpected twists. The love triangle is a device that provides pressure, causes drama, and provides spice to whatever different plots is perhaps present.

Let’s talk about some explanation why authors use ‘love triangles’ in a romance story.

Why have the characters compete towards each other for love?

Good romance stories usually use conflicts and overcoming obstacles to maintain their readers in suspense. Inserting a love triangle is an easy solution to complicate the relationship without sacrificing the romance. The indecision of the character in question might have your readers connect with the story and the occasions taking place. It’s much more than only a story when readers find themselves emotionally invested in the character’s selections and what’s going to happen to them because of those choices.

Why does someone develop into extra attractive once they’re unavailable?

For some purpose there are individuals who find others more fascinating or engaging when someone else is already taken. It could possibly be that the ‘chase’ is what they find most desirable. Folks want what they cannot have. They generally do not discover what has been underneath their eyes your entire time until another person factors it out. It is like when stock goes up, suddenly everyone needs a share. Since this typically occurs in reality, it appears natural when it occurs in story, making it easy for the readers to narrate to each side of the coin.

How do you resolve a ‘love triangle’?

If characters are concerned in a love triangle, clearly somebody’s feelings need to change. Your readers are going to desire a decision to the issues occurring. If the story stays the identical and you end the story with the character nonetheless unsure of who to decide on, then there is not any actual progression. You may’t build the readers expectations up and then by no means fulfill them with a proper conclusion. They won’t be happy with the outcome. As your story progresses, the readers could change their opinions about who they need the character to be with romantically. If you’re the writer and are unsure about how to resolve the triangle, then you could want to let the characters’ interactions lead you to the shock ending! We might not welcome indecision with regards to love in real life, nevertheless it’s straightforward to appreciate why we welcome them in stories.

Dating Advice


When it comes to conversation, sometimes less is more. People who speed-talk, interrogate, brag, blab the family secrets or don't allow you to have one single moment's peace of mind are control freaks. It's like they think that if they are not talking, that they don't somehow exist. It also makes you wonder if you are allowed to have a thought that is NOT about them.
Also, never get too sarcastic. One sure turn-off, for most dates, is the over-use of unsolicited sarcasm. A sarcastic type will tell you that sarcasm is actually a device that is used to charm or woo the opposite sex. That it is a form of humor or discourse that many find witty and entertaining. That it is a way to demonstrate superior intelligence, or your prodigious powers of clarity, precision and personal observation.

Sarcasm is an obvious defense mechanism that is used to mask or disguise something deeply twisted in the personality. Instead of being sarcastic, why don't you just wear a T-shirt that says "Needy, approval seeking and insecure." Most sarcasm sounds like criticism, and criticism (especially if it isn't asked for) is recognized nowadays as verbal abuse.

Never ever lie about your past. Let's face it. Not everyone comes with a clean resume when it comes to relationships. Almost everybody has big mistakes, embarrassments and down right tragedies in his or her past. The question is, how much do you tell your new partner and how much do you lie about it?

There are two schools of thought about this. I tend to lean on the side that says it is a big mistake to talk about your exes to the new amour. For one thing, it can arouse unnecessary jealousy. Take it from someone who has gone out with someone whose previous girlfriend was a supermodel. Believe me, you lie there wondering all night how you could possible compete with the past...

I believe that the less your partner knows about your sordid past the better, yet it is still a bad idea to lie to them if a certain subject that relates to your past comes up. The only possible exception to this rule is the "How many people have you slept with" question. If the number is over seventy and you are only twenty-five and female, it might be a good idea to subtract a few paramours.

"Never ever say I love you (unless you mean it)"

It is a cliche, but apparently playing "hard to get" actually works. It seems that the primal baby that is within all of us just can't stand being left out and ignored and will actually start seeking approval from those who seem to be withholding their affections. Both sexes are apparently turned off by displays of neediness and emotional security, so whatever you do don't reveal how lonely you are, don't reveal anything about your intentions and never ever beg for sex. And if you want to kill the potential relationship, completely, just utter these words "I love you" too soon into the relationship. As most women will tell you, it makes men run screaming for the hills.

Although most of us often feel compelled to be honest, it is not always the best approach when it comes to being a strategist in love. As twentieth-century wit Dorothy Parker said, "Spilling your guts is as ugly as it sounds...."
