Here they are:

ruffles, layers, lace … try them, love the and wear them. You’ll look incredible and very feminine.

transparency and soft, light dresses … You will look very stylish and touching, even a bit naive and so fragile …

shorts. Shorts are back again – all kinds of them.

patterns. All kinds of patterns: graphic, geometrical, techno and all kinds of prints: navy, abstract, floral are in this spring.

white colour is a must-have.

Are you looking for ways to live your fantasy? Whatever you do, the key word here is, challenge.

It may seem that the best way to get a guy to chase after you is to simply dress sexy, wear tons of make up and strut your stuff. This only works within a very confined context. You see, he’ll only want to chase you as far as the bedroom. After that, you’re on your own.

The thing about getting a guy to chase you is that you want to catch his eye, attract him and interest him, but you have to remain just elusive enough to make him work a bit. The mistake many women make it they suddenly open their heart and throw themselves at the guy who shows the least amount of interest in them. ?How can he chase you if you just make yourself easily available for the taking?

Once a guy is interested in you and comes over to talk to you, don’t be overeager or too enthusiastic. Be pleasant and attentive. Show him your sense of humor and let him glimpse your silly side. Converse intelligently and give him a hint of the intellect you hold. All this will draw him in further and further.

But keep it all very light. No pressure. No insinuation of wanting more. Just hang back and let the conversation flow. The more elusive you remain, the more eager he’ll be to try to get you.

Some women sometimes put up a self-validating wall. That is to say that they suddenly feel an overwhelming need to prove that they are as good as they are. Instead of just letting the time they spend with the guy speak for her, she constantly points out all her great attributes. She can even go so far as to elevate her own ego by putting down the guy she’s trying to impress.

That’s not going to impress him much. Know yourself and love yourself enough to know that you don’t have to go out there and make all your accomplishments evident to him. Give him the chance to find all this out on his own throughout dates with you.

Remain elusive as you keep it fun and interesting, and he’ll have no choice but to pursue you.

This time, though, he wants to turn things around, and his lawyer is reaching out to the one man that DMX believes can save him … Dr. Drew Pinsky.

The details of the arrest are unclear, but attorney Gary Jenkins tells us “He has been battling addiction for some time and he’s in need of treatment.”

Jenkins adds, “We’re hoping that maybe Dr. Drew might be able to help him.” Maybe now that he got that crazy stalker off his ass, he’ll have free time.

Can Dr. Drew help DMX get clean?

DMX mug shots over the past two years are almost too numerous to count. Jenkins added, however, “He’s a talented man … we’re praying for him.”

While unconfirmed, two reports suggest that DMX violated his probation by using illegal drugs and was booked on five counts of probation violation.

It’s also being reported that he let fly a few expletives during his initial court hearing last night, which wouldn’t surprise us in the least. This is DMX.

Iwill be posting more of the available options, but wanted to note that the classic black version Bryan Boy carried is now available online at Bloomingdale’s.

This bag entails two aspects of many Be&D bags; whipstitched detailing and supple washed leather. Lately, I have really been digging the Be&D bags I have seen. I still love the studs that they offer, don’t get me wrong, but their Americana feel which much of their line showcases pulls me in. It seems so perfectly fitting for spring and summer, which is just touching most of the world with a slight warm up and knocking the snow off our boots.

The bag offers a single shoulder strap along with a longer detachable crossbody strap. The silver tone hardware always lends a casual touch to a black leather bag. The inside is equipped with a zip and cell phone pocket along with a key ring. Buy through Bloomingdale’s for $1095.

Trust me, having men flock to you at occasions and events can really boost your self esteem. I decided to compile my personal list of how to attract not random guys, but the most delicious men out there.

1. Smell good.
I hate to break it to you, ladies, but guys can’t smell our personalities. Attraction is instinctual. Smell is one of the most primitive senses both men and women. Use this info to your best advantage.

2. Be Megan Fox, not Paris Hilton.
Megan Fox’s appeal derives from being a symbol of pure sex. She’s gorgeous, dresses well, and…well, that’s about it. Megan represents sex without explicitly flaunting it, and guys want her. On the other hand, Paris Hilton has been road hard and put away wet. Tabloid escapades, sex tapes, and disposable men make you look slutty rather than sexy. Don’t label yourself as a woman of impudent excess. It’s demeaning and unhealthy for your hoo-ha.

3. Know what a Wookie is.
From my experience, guys hold a special place in their hearts for some sort of fantastical escapism like Star Wars. Respect that. Don’t insult what they hold in high regard. How would you feel if a guy told you that The Notebook meant nothing because it was fantasy?

4. Respect men in tights.
Guys love athletics. The guys that I’m attracted to are usually fanatical about sports. Don’t undermine what they enjoy and don’t try to change them! It’s just a sport!

5. Do NOT talk about lady problems…period.
Talking about surfing the crimson wave is verbal repellant to guys. This is uncomfortable subject matter for guys. In fact, when I’m on a bad date with a total loser, I can easily end the date when I mention my period. It works every time…and I got a free dinner!

6. Inspire confidence.
Attraction for guys is instinctual. Do you think a frumpy sweater will land his eye? No. Dress your best. You’ll feel good about yourself, and guys flock to that.

7. Eat food.
From the guys that I’ve liked, most tend to love their meat. Do you think Ryan Kwanten got those beefcake pecs and delicious abs from a stem of broccoli? NO! Beef. It’s what’s for dinner. If you are a vegetarian, that’s fine. Just don’t starve yourself. Anorexia is unhealthy and grotesque to watch.

8. Boobies.
If you want to attract a guy, don’t hesitate to flaunt what assets you’ve got. I shall warn you not to overdo this one…especially with drunks.

9. Smile.
Many guy friends tell me that they are intimidated by gorgeous girls who don’t smile. Get some Crest White Strips and show him those lovely pearls.

10. Be true to the truth.
If a guy’s not digging you, move on. Even if he only wants to remain friends, just shrug and look elsewhere. Always hold yourself in high regards, especially with a beefcake you barely know!

11. Inspire a chase.
Be chased and don’t chase the guy to the point of suffocation. Enjoy the thrill. He’ll most likely want you more. If he just ditches you early, then he’s just a Don Juan following his pecker. Trust me. It’s best for your well-being to avoid those men.

Ladies, enjoy the dating scene. Look lovely, be lovely, and, most importantly, have fun. The ideal guy might not run to you on hand and knee with delicious abs and a bouquet of roses. However, just have fun and keep a happy face!

Aas they accept the Oscar for Best Picture for their film The Hurt Locker at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday night (March 7).

The 58-year-old director said in her acceptance speech, “This really is… There’s no other way to describe it, it’s the moment of a lifetime. First of all, this is so extraordinary to be in the company of such powerful, my fellow nominees, such powerful filmmakers who have inspired me and I have admired for, some of whom, for decades. And thank you to every member of the Academy. This is, again, the moment of a lifetime.”

Kathryn is the first woman to win the Best Director Oscar in the Academy’s history.

At the end of her acceptance speech, the 44-year-old actress thanked her husband Sidney Hicks.

“To my amazing husband Sidney, thank you for showing me that sometimes you have to forego doing what’s popular in order to do what’s right,” Mo’nique said. “And baby, you were so right. God bless us all.”

The 36-year-old How I Met Your Mother actor, who hosted the Tonys and Emmys in the past, wore a black sequin three piece tuxedo, white shirt and bow tie by Dolce & Gabbana during the performance.

Earlier in the week, rumors were flying that Neil was going to perform at the Oscars. But those rumors were presumably squashed based on his Twitter.

“I will not be performing a duet with Martin Short to open the Oscars,” Neil tweeted. “Misinformation, I’m afraid.”

After his surprise performance, Neil got back on his Twitter and quipped “I told you I wasn’t doing a duet…”
