Black seamed nylons are making a huge comeback. Isn't it a curious fact of modern life that things go in and out of fashion? Just like they say "what goes around comes around" and it is especially true of fashion. Stockings and suspenders must be the of the most evocative pieces of lingerie ever designed so it is no surprise that they have a huge fan club especially amongst the male population.

The feel of smooth nylon or pure silk against the skin is something to experience and will make any women feel special. The sensation of a satin suspender belt pulling those yards of silk or nylon taught over smooth soft skin is a truly exciting feeling. Maybe there is just something totally feminine about wearing sexy black seamed nylons under a slinky satin skirt or your favorite satin party frock. The way the silk or satin brushes lightly over those silky satin stocking tops whilst caressing the exposed flesh at the top of your legs is divine in the extreme.

Ask any red blooded male about a woman wearing stockings and suspenders especially black seamed nylons to get the full picture. Most men will agree that the worst thing to happen to women's legs was tights. They must be the most un sexy piece of women's underwear ever designed. The guy (or gal) that came up with them managed to spoil the last bastion of male sexual intrigue in one foul swoop. Gone was that promise of a flash of bare flesh and stocking top, the delicious exploration of what lay hidden from the eyes but was glimpsed almost by accident. But don't despair because these slinky silky niceties are back with a vengeance.

Ladder your tights ladies and they are ruined but the great thing about stockings is that they come in pairs. Why shouldn't you adorn your lovely legs in something smooth soft and elegant? Maybe it's time for you to once again revel in your femininity and make yourself feel sexy all through the day. Imagine the thrill of wearing those delicious silky black seamed nylons beneath your work clothes. Your own naughty secret that will make you feel so feminine as the silky nylon brushes against the shinny satin linining of your smart office skirt.

Remember girls that there is a huge range of styles and colours available from the many online stores that have sprung up recently. Many of these outlets specialize in stockings and suspender belts alone. With so much on offer you are sure to find something to complement every outfit or occassion. Spare a though for the men too, many of them are still mourning the passing of the glamorous age of the stocking. Give him a surprise the next time you go out for that romantic dinner for two or when you have an intimate night at home. Slip on those silky black seamed nylons, a smooth satin suspender belt and watch the temperature rise.

Guest Article By Dr. Annie Dennison, Ph.D

If fights happen in your relationship every once in a while, don't worry -- provided that both of you stick to some fair fighting guidelines.

Ideally, if you're single and getting involved with someone new, it's a good idea to start laying the foundation for fair fighting BEFORE you have that first major blowout.

How do you do that?

By discussing important topics with your partner to see if the two of you are basically on the same page. Some of the dirtiest fights in relationships happen when two people get seriously involved and then discover that they have surprisingly different expectations about basic things like money, sex, housework -- and how to handle conflict.

So, long before you're about to move in together, find out where your partner stands on topics that could have a huge impact on your relationship somewhere down the line. If you're not on the same page, please don't convince yourself that it won't matter because you love each other. Discuss those differences realistically upfront, rather than fighting angrily about them later.

Or, here's a radical concept:find someone who matches up with you better on the basics from the get-go.

And no matter how long you've been in a relationship, a great way to keep laying the foundation for fair fighting is by not allowing problems between you to fester -- and anger to build. Once all that anger builds up and explodes, it's harder to resist the urge to fight dirty.

---

Here's how you and your partner can keep it FAIR:

Fight about what you need to be fighting about.
There's nothing more exhausting and pointless than hours spent bickering about everything BUT the core problems you and your partner need most to address. And the more exhausted and annoyed you both get with the bickering, the more likely you are to spiral into dirty fighting.

Thats why it's important to be as honest and clear as you can with each other about what the fight is really all about. Don't drag in a hundred other little issues or past grievances. Keep it as focused as possible.

In other words, conserve your energy for the important work that can happen during fights. As in, dealing with those top priority problems that put distance between you and your partner, and potentially threaten your relationship.

Attack the problem, not each other.
I'm not saying don't be angry. Of course you're angry when you're fighting. But that doesn't give you license to be disrespectful and rude.

That means no snarky sarcasm, name-calling, or putdowns. Although it can feel so good, in the heat of battle, to say something that will make your partner feel one-upped and defensive, it's a really dumb idea. Know why? Because once that stuff comes flying out of your mouth, your partner probably will never, ever forget it.

And then the damage is done.

During a fight, think of your words as potential darts. When you're not fighting fair, on some level, you know that your words are hitting the target with their sharp, piercing metal tips. In a fair fight, no matter how much you'd like to make your words into darts, you have to figure out how to make them into those ping pong balls covered with self-adhering Velcro instead!

Oh, and it does help to use specific "I" statements during arguments (e.g., "I feel threatened when you yell at me like that," etc.), rather than generalized personal attack statements (e.g., "You're a stupid Neanderthal bastard," etc.).

Speak for yourself.
When you're pissed off and the stakes are high, you're going to have a hard enough time accurately describing your own position. Concentrate on doing that well, staying as focused as possible -- and not going into attack mode. Use those "I" statements, even if doing so seems a little corny to you.

And if you get the desperate urge in the middle of a fight to mind-read what's going on in your partner's own head, stop it! Instead, ask your partner to speak for him- or herself. Then listen without interrupting. And try to understand.

Speaking for yourself also means not dragging other people's opinions into your fight to strengthen your position. That includes opinions of your family members, friends, or therapist -- especially those opinions that conveniently make your partner out to be the only flawed person in the relationship.

News flash: there are two flawed people in every relationship.

Leave some wiggle room.
When you're in the middle of a fight, and mad as hell, you might think that the ultimate goal is to win at any cost. Take no prisoners and all that. But if you value your partner and the relationship, you'll get over that way of thinking!

There are two outcomes to hope for at the end of a fight: (1) Get through it with as little damage as possible and, (2) Effectively attack whatever problem is causing you to fight -- and threatening your relationship.

To achieve those outcomes, there needs to be enough "wiggle room" so that the fight doesn't go past that terrible "point of no return."

You and your partner might want to consider agreeing in advance on a "time-out" signal or code word. If a fight feels like it's getting out of control, the signal or code word allows either person to put the argument on hold for a later, designated time. This is a lot better than one person unexpectedly "abandoning" the argument!

---

Last but not least, there's nothing like genuine apologies coming from both people to turn a fight into something that makes a relationship stronger.

Being successful at love isn't exactly rocket science, right? But you still need to be smart about it.

ABOUT DR. ANNIE DENNISON, Ph.D

After 15+ years of relationship experience - including some bad mistakes - I figured out how to think about love in an intelligent way, without over-thinking it. That's when I stopped wasting my time in relationships with men who were all wrong for me (and me for them...), and fell in love with and married a wonderful guy. Along the way, I also got a PhD in psychology.

When I'm not writing advice for SmartatLove.com, I'm a Southern California dating and relationship coach for single people. I provide personalized, confidential coaching services by phone and email.

One of our oldest Christmas traditions is the last minute gift. Perhaps not the noblest of traditions but certainly common enough to raise a comment on two from anyone who has had to brave the check-out counter of any retail establishment.

For as long as we've been buying presents for family and friends, there are those among us who just can't seem to get any real Christmas shopping done until the last possible minute.

In fact, I'll bet that the retail side of Christmas counts on the last minute gift buying frenzy for a good chunk of their sales. As for me, I blame my brother...

You see, my brother raised last minute Christmas shopping to an art form. To see him weave his way through the crowds was poetry in motion. It was a thing to behold. And since he's my older brother, I looked up to him in every way.

If that is how he did it then it must be right. Mind you, not all of us are 6'4" and 225lbs so here a few tips to help you perform your own last minute miracle:

1. Get organized. You're going to be standing in line in a short while so fight the urge to rush out the door. Make list, no matter, how general or short.

2. Know exactly who you are going to be buying for. There's precious little time left and you may actually have to prune your list. If you must drop someone, you can give them a New's Year gift instead. It will still be appreciated.

3. The big question, of course, is what to get. Let's start with where not to go. No matter how tempting, avoid the "Big Box" superstores. By now, they'll be picked over and full of stressed out Moms and Dads.

4. By avoiding the superstores, you must now think outside the box. Think about the likes and dislikes of whomever you're buying for. If that draws a blank, think of their friends and the things they have in common between them. If that doesn't create an idea or two, think of the work they do. And last but not least, you can always lean on old faithful. That is, you can either male or female.

5. Stop for a just a second right here. If you've not got a list, start over! If you do, great! You're on your way. Take your list, which should include names, gifts and possible stores. Head for the door knowing you've done most of the hard work already!

6. One last stop before you hit the stores. Get some cash! You can count on credit card machines and ATM terminals not working at the most inopportune times. And besides, there's nothing like real green to speed-up check-out.

6. Once you're in the store, don't browse. Remember, you're on a mission and the clock is ticking! Either it's there or not. Your list should be fresh in your mind so if you see something that is close or even matches something on the list, grab it!

Of course, a little practice goes a long way. By the time you're in your second or third store, you'll have it made.

The best part of grabbing a last minute gift is the experience itself. There's not much to tell about buying a Christmas gift in September! But you'll run into all kinds of characters if you venture forth sometime after December 21st. Oh, the stories you'll be able to tell!

And what better gift can you give than a smile?

Be brave my fellow procrastinators! There's no need to rush - You've still got time...

It, Yoga, has been praised for almost everything, however, very few people no that for even eating disorders. Some specific Yoga poses and derivatives can be used effectively for restoring better digestive and mental health which are perhaps the two types needing attention in regards to eating disorders.

Not so long ago, eating disorders, such as bulimia and anorexia, were thought to be purely the result of mental conditions.

However, some physical factors have been attributed to these conditions. It is now thought that eating disorders can be triggered by a multitude of factors, in combination, including those of a psychological, behavioral, social, or biological nature.

Thankfully, as with many conditions, eating orders can better be dealt with through a calm and focused mind and of course drug-free healing methods.

Often times, depression and low self esteem are problems associated with people with eating disorders, and Yoga can help with both. Moreover, as a mild restorer of physical vigor and a corrective therapeutic measure internally from abuse arising from eating disorders, some Yoga poses are extremely effective.

Have you ever told your partner or spouse how you would feel if you found out they had been cheating? Maybe your spouse or partner will never cheat on you! Are would they?

Ok, maybe they want cheat. But you must face the fact that your spouse or partner will be tempted with the "grass is greener on the other side" especially after all the responsibilities of parenthood have set in and things are not so carefree anymore. And you will be faced with that same temptation unless both of you have suddenly become really, really an eye sore.

Who knows? They may be attracted to the same thing you find attractive about your spouse or partner in the beginning and now! By realizing this now, depending on the type of relationship you are in, not only can you make this one of the healthy topics to discuss but you can possibly get back some of what was lost. You know before all of the many responsibilities set into everyone's life.

Cheating causes so much pain and grief and if you have not experienced it firsthand, take a look around - It affects everyone! Saying no requires at times the willpower to walk - no run away, the action to back up what you say and truly caring about your partner or spouse feelings.

Do not become obsessed with this topic but talk about things like this before it happens. Talk about how the both of you would feel and what would cause the both of you to entertain the thoughts of cheating. Would it involve something physical like not receiving enough affection or something emotional like not feeling appreciated or loved? You want facts that will help you both understand what your needs are so you'll NOT look elsewhere.

We seek love and acceptance in our society and this does not change once we enter relationships. We want it regardless of the changes we grow through with our body and spirit. So when we do not feel we are getting these things from the ones we love, we seek it from others! If you do not want to make the topic about the two of you just yet, talk about cheating in relationships in general before the opportunity presents itself to either of you.

If you are a celebrity, you will need to give your personal privacy more than just an extra thought. Gossip rags are always looking for dirt to dish out. Everything sordid always makes for good front news nowadays - what you eat, what your religion is, and what your sexual orientation is. I wouldn't be surprised if non-disclosure contracts are made mandatory for everyone that comes ten feet close to you.

You could be hot news today on the celebrity columns, and hopefully by tomorrow, it will all just blow over and become yesterdays news. But Tell-All books? They are a legacy that you will never be able to live up to as an A-list celebrity. So, who's talking about who?

Jason Alexander is writing about his marriage to Britney Spears. Remember him? Brit's childhood friend and husband of 55 hours? He'll be talking about sex, Brit's tummy tuck and what a lucky bastard K-Fed is for being there at the right time and the right place. Rumour has it also the K-Fed is also shopping for a book deal now that he's broke, and will be exposing a side of Brit that's never before seen by fans - her physical encounters with women, plastic surgery faux pax and use of drugs. Note to K-Fed: Better brush up on those writing skills, because if your rapping is any indication, it needs some serious work.

It looks like Britney Spears might have the last say after all. She is threatening to publish a warts-and-all book about her marriage to Kevin Federline if he doesn't play ball through their bitter divorce. Brit are you trying to say that there is more to K-Fed that has not been reported by the media yet? I am hoping one of these days I will open the television and find him in Fear Factor stuck in a glass casket with a million maggots. And to think he duped not only one, but two beautiful women.

It's really not Paris Hilton fault that she is the way she is. It seems that Paris Hilton's faux pax pale in comparison to the Hilton women that came before her. Jerry Openheimmer's autobiography "House Of Hilton" paints a not-so-pretty picture of the Hilton women from great grandma Dodo to Paris. The book talks about each generation's never ending obsession with money, wedding rings and divorce settlements. Oppenheimer has woven a trash tale based on estranged childhood friends, ex-spouses and family member. They are labelled as gold diggers with obscene spending habits and their despearte desire for power and attention. So can you blame Paris? Apparently, us common people would love to hate the Hilton women, for any reason. Here's my confessional: I really liked some of the songs in Paris' album.

JLo is fighting ex Ojani Noa's tell-all memoir. Ojani is challenging a preliminary injunction that prohibits him from casting a negative light on JLo. She does not want their intimate sex life placed in public display. He only wants to talk about the hot sex and nothing else. Why can't Jennifer Lopez understand that? His life has not been the same since the court injunction. I wonder why. Poor misunderstood Ojani.

Carmen Bryan, the women behind rapper the success of superstar Nas, tells in her book It's No Secret that she held down two jobs and paid the bills so that he could go into the studio. She is also the woman behind the Nas/Jay-Z rapper wars, dating and sleeping with them both at the same time. Bryan's book will "provoke readers to question society's double standard and the imbalance of power in the male-dominated entertainment industry" as reported by Ballerstatus.net. This book is a way for her to get her version of the story told and clear her conscience. Here is the fact Carmen - book deals and clearing of conscience do not go together.

Supermodel Kate Moss has cancelled her Tell-All Book on her love life and drug use now that she has her career back on track. It's a very smart move. I know curious minds would love get every detail on how she had fallen from grace and ended up on the cover of a British Tabloid snorting cocaine. But for now, I prefer to hear more about the wedding dress her beau has picked up from a second hand store. It must be so nice to be able to look great in almost anything!
