Archie comics to introduce first gay character
Now it won’t be only about Archie, Veronica and Betty. The world’s oldest teenager comic book is to introduce its first openly gay character Kevin Keller, announced the publisher Friday.
“The introduction of Kevin is just about keeping the world of Archie Comics current and inclusive. Archie’s hometown of Riverdale has always been a safe world for everyone. It just makes sense to have an openly gay character in Archie comic books,” said Jon Goldwater of Archie Comics on its official blogsite http://www.archiecomics.com/blog/news/
The “Veronica #202” edition will introduce Kevin as the new hunk in town and Veronica just has to have him in the full-issue story “Isn’t it Bromantic?”
In the new story, when Kevin defeats Jughead in a burger eating contest at Pop’s Chocklit Shoppe, the rich and spoilt Veronica latches onto him. Mayhem and hilarity ensue as Kevin desperately attempts to let Veronica down easy and her flirtations become increasingly persistent.
The blogsite states that the introduction of Kevin’s character is part of the commitment to keep Archie properties reflective of the current world of teens and teen media.
The edition will hit comic shops Sep 1 and news stands Sep 14.

NFL DRAFT Round 2: Oakland Raiders Would You Mind Drafting...?
The Oakland Raiders get it right in round one. Tom Cable mentioned that he wanted a rookie that would instantly become an impact and he received just that by taking Rolando McClain.
Its not a secret that the Raiders have some glaring holes on the Offensive line, but with Russell Okung and Trent Williams off the board, McClain not only was the best player available at number eight, but fit a defensive need.
Many people will talk about how the Denver Broncos took Tim Tebow number 25 overall, but the two stories in the draft is Kansas City taking S Eric Berry, and Jacksonville reaching for Tyson Alualu.
In my opinion that left a lot of unexpected good talent on the board causing some teams to trade down, and others to keep reaching.
Now in Day two rounds two and three there are many players the Raiders could end up with that could help there teams instantly.
QB Jimmy Clausen
This is what I think may change the entire outlook of not just the draft, but also the future of the Oakland Raiders. It says that the days of Jamarcus Russell are over and we are investing in a franchise QB, paying him back-up money.
Mel Kiper Jr had the Raiders taking Clausen eight overall, but with him slipping to the second round makes him look a whole lot more attractive.
With Tim Tebow going to Denver being picked ahead of Clausen, that makes the Raiders vs Bronco games a little more of intense for the next generation. Besides, you would think Clausen would have a chip on his shoulder being the third maybe even fourth quarter back taken.
A chip on his shoulder being an attribute that Al Davis likes in his QB's...see Ken Stabler, Jim Plunkett, and Rich Gannon.
OT Bruce Campbell
Another player that the Raiders were rumored of taking eight overall is Bruce Campbell. This guy no doubt is an athletic freak, who looks like a Pro-Bowl left tackle right now.
Campbell's problem is lack of playing time. Due to a lack of playing time he has a lack of technique.
Durring the Combine, fans concern was that Al Davis would take Campbell in the top ten. But like Clausen, Campbell's potential looks a lot better with a second round investment as opposed to a first.
I still think this would be a reach in the second round, and we could still get him in the third, but im not sure that Al Davis feels the same way.
OT Charels Brown
If the Raiders do want to address the offensive line in round two, this is the guy to pick. I think everyone had him in the first round penciled in to Dallas until they traded up to get WR Dez Bryant.
Personally, im shocked he is still on the board. He's athletic enough to play in the ZBS, but powerfull enough to play in the power scheme. Brown is scheme diverse who has the college productivity to be a first rounder, let alone a second.
DT Terrance Coty
If you want to make your first round pick look like a genius, why not pick the DT he played with in college and won a National Championship with. That would be instant chemistry with two players that fit a need, that both have winning credentials.
I like Coty a lot, and I would support the pick 100%. My only concern is whether or not Coty can stay in shape. He showed me some good signs by loosing twenty pounds before the NFL Combine, and he may have lost even more for his Pro-Day.
That shows me that he at least has some level of respectable work ethic. I just hope he can stick to it for years to come.
I know some fans want to trade for Albert Haynesworth, but picking Coty helps the team gel overall from a team chemistry point of view.
There are many ways the Raiders could go in Round Two and Three. If there are any players you would like to see, please let me know.

Tips and Trick News : Ini Dia Biang Hilangnya Prototipe iPhone Gizmodo
Gara-gara keasyikan dugem di bar, seorang karyawan Apple menghilangkan sebuah barang yang disebut-sebut sebagai prototipe iPhone generasi keempat. Barang itu pun membuat heboh setelah situs teknologi Engadget dan Gizmodo membeberkannya.
Adalah Gray Powell (27), seorang software engineer Apple yang melakukan keteledoran tersebut. Powell adalah lulusan North Carolina State University tahun 2006. Oria inilah yang mengembangkan iPhone Baseband Software, program dasar agar iPhone bisa digunakan untuk melakukan panggilan telepon.
Pantas saja prototipe iPhone dibawanya ke mana-mana termasuk saat masuk ke bar untuk menikmati malam. Terakhir kali ia membawanya ke Gourmet Haus Staudt, sebuah bar bergaya Jerman di Redwood City, California, AS, yang letaknya sekitar 30 kilometer dari kantor pusat Apple.
Pada 18 Maret 2010 malam itu, Powell kelihatannya sangat menikmati bir di tangannya di bar tersebut. Hal ini terlihat dari tulisan dalam aplikasi Facebook di prototipe yang sempat dibongkar Gizmodo.
"Saya terlalu meremehkan kualitas bir Jerman," tulisnya di iPhone tersebut. Itulah tulisan terakhirnya dalam iPhone yang seharusnya masih rahasia itu. Malam itu pula, kali terakhir ia melihat iPhone rahasianya yang lalu tertinggal di toilet bar.
Orang lain yang ada di bar tersebut memungut barang tersebut dan melaporkannya kepada Gizmodo. Foto yang dirilis Engadget sebelumnya dari kiriman pembacanya diduga juga berasal dari barang yang sama. Apple pun harus mengirim surat resmi ke Gizmodo untuk mengambil alih barangnya tersebut. Tapi, bagaimana nasib sang software engineer itu?

Tips and Trick News : Space shuttle set to land Tuesday morning
After spending an extra day in orbit, the seven astronauts aboard the space shuttle Discovery prepared for a Tuesday morning landing at Kennedy Space Center in Florida as NASA officials closely monitored weather conditions in the area.
Bad weather prompted mission managers to scrap two landing opportunities at the space center on Monday.
Officials were ready to redirect the landing to Edwards Air Force Base in California if Florida's weather proved unfavorable during the two Tuesday morning landing windows.
The shuttle was on schedule for a 7:34 a.m. ET touchdown at Kennedy if conditions allowed. A second opportunity at Kennedy if a delay is necessary would lead to an 8:08 a.m. landing.
If the site becomes Edwards, the first landing opportunity would lead to an 8:01 a.m. ET touchdown, with other possibilities for 9:35 a.m. or 11: 11 a.m. landings.
The astronauts were awakened at 10:21 p.m. ET Monday to begin landing preparations, according to NASA, with mission control playing Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again" as their wake-up call.
On Monday, overcast clouds and a chance of showers in the Cape Canaveral, Florida, area forced the wave-off of an 8:48 a.m. ET opportunity. A scheduled landing at 10:23 a.m. ET also was canceled.
The volcanic ash from Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier, which has caused widespread flight disruptions throughout the world, did not affect the landing plans, NASA said.
The shuttle's re-entry course was not near the ash cloud, the agency said.
The shuttle launched on April 5 and docked to the International Space Station two days later.
It marked the first time four women have been in space at one time.
Three women -- mission specialists Stephanie Wilson, Dorothy Metcalf-Lindenburger and Japanese astronaut Naoko Yamazaki -- comprised part of Discovery's crew.
NASA astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson was already at the space station.
The astronauts' trip included three spacewalks and delivery of more than seven tons of equipment and supplies.
There are only three shuttle missions remaining before the space shuttle fleet is retired.

Harus Tegas, Pezina Dilarang Ikut Pilkada
Belakangan ini artis sering digunakan sebagai daya tarik penjual guna merekrut pembeli sebanyak-banyaknya.
Hal ini terjadi pada pemilihan kepala daerah, semenjak artis sukses mendampingi kepala daerah dalam pilkada. Sebut saja ada Wakil Bupati Tangerang, Rano Karno dan wakil Gubernur Jawa Barat, Dedi Yusuf yang telah memenangi pilkada.
Kini, masing-masing bakal calon kepala daerah yang diusung oleh beberapa partai politik peserta pemilu semakin giat mencari figur keartisan untuk mendampingi balon kepala daerah tadi.
Bahkan, tak jelas segi kualitasnya, kecakapan dalam memimpin, intelektual, pendidikan, kecintaan terhadap daerah yang akan dipimpinnya, parpol dan balon pengusung artis tersebut main tembak saja, yang penting dapat menarik suara sebanyak-banyaknya.
Maka, tak heran bila sebagian masyarakat menjadi resah dengan munculnya beberapa artis panas mencalonkan diri menjadi pemimpin daerah. Setelah Julia Perez, kini muncul artis panas lain yang akan maju mencalonkan diri menjadi pemimpin daerah, yaitu Maria Eva.
Melalui media televisi, yang begitu gencar dengan infotaintmennya, sosok Maria Eva telah begitu menonjol dalam pemberitaannya. Bagaimana tidak, ia lebih dikenal sebagai (sekali lagi maaf) artis yang video panasnya beredar luar ditengah-tengah masyarakat.
Bahkan, Menteri Dalam Negeri sendiri dengan melihat fenomena itu malah mengusulkan agar seorang calon kepala daerah untuk tidak memiliki cacat moral. Sebab, seorang kepala daerah selain sebagai kepala pemerintahan, tapi juga merupakan tokoh panutan pada warga masyarakat dari segala tindak-tanduknya.
Mendagri, Gamawan Fauzi, mengusulkan akan merevisi Undang-Undang Nomor 32 Tahun 2004 tentang Pemerintahan Daerah. Usulan revisi itu, yakni penambahan syarat wajib mempunyai pengalaman berorganisasi dan tidak boleh cacat moral bagi para calon kepala daerah dalam Pilkada. Cacat moral yang dimaksud, salah satunya adalah dikenal tidak pernah berbuat mesum atau berzina.
Kiranya benar apa yang dikatakan oleh anggota Dewan Pertimbangan Presiden, Jimly Asshiddiqie, yang mengatakan, bahwa seorang pemimpin harus menjadi teladan bagi masyarakat, sebab pemimpin itu lembaga eksekutif yang harus mempunyai syarat lain. Dan, hal ini berbeda dengan anggota Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat.
Melihat fenomena di atas, hendaknya kaderisasi partai politik pengusung bakal calon kepala daerah berjalan dengan baik. Jangan asal mencomot sosok tokoh terkenal begitu saja, yang nantinya justru masyarakat luas yang dirugikan.

Kim Kardashian in Unretouched Nude Photoshoot
She has become the poster girl for the anti-size zero brigade. And now Kim Kardashian is joining the campaign for celebrities to show themselves in their true light as she posed nude in an unretouched photoshoot for a glossy magazine.
The unapologetically curvaceous celebrity posed for former wildchild turned celebrity photographer Amanda de Cadenet in US Harper's Bazaar.
It follows Britney Spears' recent release of unretouched photos from an advertising campaign.
In the photo of Kim seen lying on the floor against a grey backdrop, her enviable figure - which has helped propel the 29-year-old reality television star into a multi-million dollar franchise - is seen in all its glory.
And clearly she has little to worry about.
The Harper's spread is not Kim's first nude photoshoot. In 2007 she was on the cover of Playboy, a moment she now regrets.
She admitted to US Harper's Bazaar: 'I'm sorry I did Playboy. I was uncomfortable.' But this time around, Kim was much happier.
'It's definitely scary, but it's very liberating,' she says.
'I think the message is embrace your curves and who you are. I feel proud if young girls look up to me and say, "I'm curvy, and I'm proud of it now".'
She added: 'I might have a little bit of cellulite. I might not be toned everywhere. I might struggle in this area or that.'
But she reveals that growing up a petite brunette in Los Angeles surrounded by statuesque California girls, she had to search hard for role models, and settled on bombshells Sophia Loren and Raquel Welch.
'Those became the healthy bodies to look up to. Then came Salma Hayek and Jennifer Lopez. I related to them,' she said in the May issue of the magazine.
However, as an 11-year-old, she was fearful of the changes happening to her body and her burgeoning curves were a source of distress.
She told US Harper's: 'I was wearing a C cup by the time I was 11. I would go to bed and pray, "Please, Lord, don't let my boobs grow any bigger". I hated what was happening.'
As one of Hollywood's starlets, she still receives undue attention because of the lack of curvy women on the red carpet. But she still doesn't understand why everyone is always going on about the size of her bottom.
She said: 'My butt is probably not as big as you might think, because I have small legs and a small waist, which makes it appear bigger.'
Meanwhile the reality television star dodged questions about a recent date with Real Madrid football star Cristiano Ronaldo.
The pair enjoyed a lunch together in Madrid, and were allegedly spotted kissing. But she told a Sydney radio station: 'According to the US media, I’m kissing a lot of people.
'Every time if you are just in the same place as someone, they always say you are dating them so at this point I’ve given up.'
She added: 'I think I’m such a relationship kind of girl for years, I think it would be really refreshing and I’m having a good time being single.'
Kim recently split from American NFL football star Reggie Bush. She is currently in Australia promoting a new range of Motorola mobile phones and the Optus phone network.

HOT and Sexy Football Suporter Girl PICTURE
Nothing beats a sexy female sports fan…or two! Sometimes it seems as though you can find one in just about any city in the world, rooting for just about any team, whether it be the Boston Bruins, FC Barcelona, or the Florida Gators.
So, with that being said, should we simply assume that all sports cities are havens for hot chicks? The answer to that is an emphatic NO! Unless, of course, you are into fat chicks with gremlin faces and giant saggy tits. In Liverpool, it appears as though they are. Or at least you would hope that they are. Otherwise they may not have much else to chose from.

Step up and green it up for Earth Day - Top Ways to Celebrate Earth Day’s 40th Anniversary
Greetings and greenings to everyone,
Humans, pets, plants and all walks of life are as different as the seasons. However, as unique and different as we all might be, we share one giant think in common-the planet! That said, wouldn't it be a good idea for all of us to give a special thank you to the wonderful round ball beneath all of our feet?
Earth Day 2010 is a time to remember the environmental challenges facing us, but it is also a time to see these challenges as opportunities for businesses to provide solutions. The bitter discord about environmental and economic problems we face often misses the point. All of these problems are massive opportunities for us to live better lives, help the planet, and build a strong economy. We don't have to choose to have either a healthy environment or a strong economy - we can have both. While many say that steps to solve environmental challenges are too costly, solving these problems is a great opportunity for businesses to thrive by providing cleaner energy, greener buildings, efficient transportation, and less wasteful ways of living. The fate of the environment is our own fate. I hope that Earth Day 2050 finds that we have opted for a better world in all respects.

Bocah 5 Tahun Punya "Tangan Ketiga"
Sekilas tak ada yang aneh pada Rendi Sihurer (5), buah hati Faisal Sihurer yang tercatat sebagai warga Kampung Islam (Kampis), Kelurahan Papusungan, Kecamatan Lembeh Selatan, Pulau Lembeh, Bitung, Sulawesi Utara. Gelak tawa dan keriangan terus menghiasi wajahnya.
Sehari-hari Rendi juga terlihat asyik bermain dengan sebayanya. Namun siapa kira di balik pakaian yang membalut tubuhnya, persisnya di bagian punggung terdapat daging tumbuh yang menyerupai tangan. Disebut demikian, karena terlihat kuku di bagian ujungnya.
Rendi mengaku tidak terganggu dengan keganjilan itu. Dia juga mengaku tak merasa sakit dengan daging tumbuh di bagian punggungnya. "Tidak sakit," ucapnya lugu, ketika ditemui, Sabtu (17/4/2010).
Hebatnya, dia juga tak lantas rendah diri dengan keadaan tubuhnya. Sebaliknya, dia tetap mengisi hari- harinya seperti lazimnya bocah seusianya, seperti bermain sepak bola di pantai. Ketika bermain bola pun dia tak mengenakan baju, sehingga "tangan ketiganya" terlihat menonjol di punggungnya.
"Tidak," jawabnya ketika ditanya apakah dirinya tidak merasa terganggu. Menurut Faisal, daging tumbuh menyerupai tangan di punggung anaknya ada sejak lahir ke dunia. Dia juga mengaku, sewaktu istrinya hendak melahirkan, dirinya juga tidak merasa ada keanehan, apalagi pertanda seperti firasat.
"Sudah sejak dari lahir," jelas Faisal yang mengaku mempunyai empat anak, dengan tiga di antaranya masih berada di tengah keluarga lantaran si sulung sudah lebih dulu kembali ke pangkuan Tuhan YME. "Rendi anak saya bungsu," akunya. Dia mengungkapkan, sehari-hari tidak ada keluhan dari buah hatinya itu.
Namun memang katanya, kalau tangan itu ditarik. Baru Rendi merasa kesakitan. Karena di tangan itu terdapat tulang rawan yang menyatu dengan punggung anaknya. "Kalau ada yang tarik dia kesakitan," jelas Faisal menirukan pengakuan buah hatinya.
Faisal mengaku ingin sekali anaknya dapat dioperasi sehingga daging menyerupai tangan yang tumbuh di punggung buah hatinya bisa disingkirkan. Namun pendapatannya sebagai pekerja serabutan membuat keinginan itu, untuk sementara dipendamnya dalam-dalam.
Dia mengaku ingin sekali membawa anaknya ke dokter. Bahkan, meski mengaku tergoda hendak menggunting kuku yang tumbuh di "tangan ketiga" buah hatinya, dia terus bermimpi membawa anaknya mendapatkan perawatan dokter.
Namun sejauh ini, dia hanya bisa memendamnya lebih dulu lantaran tidak ada biaya. Pekerjaannya sebagai pekerja serabutan membuatnya berhitung kemampuan kantungnya, meski ingin betul tangan anaknya itu bisa dioperasi. "Saya tidak ada uang untuk membiayai operasi," ucapnya dengan mata menerawang.
Sehari-hari dia mengaku menghidupi keluarga dengan menjadi kuli bangunan, itupun tidak setiap hari ada pekerjaan. Dia mengaku, keinginannya mengoperasikan anaknya lantaran tidak ingin kelak dewasa buah hatinya menjadi rendah diri (minder) dengan keadaannya. Namun kini dia hanya dapat berdoa sembari menunggu uluran tangan dermawan yang ingin membantu menjawab mimpinya.
"Sekarang dia tidak merasa minder karena masih kecil. Yang saya takutkan kalau dia sudah besar nanti merasa minder," jelas Faisal. Anda ingin menjadi dermawan itu? (Reza Pahlevi)

Goldman Sachs finds $5bn for pay and bonuses amid fraud investigation
Goldman Sachs is expected to earmark about $5bn (£3bn) for staff pay and bonuses this week, days after being accused of securities fraud by the US regulators, fuelling the controversy over bankers' rewards in the teeth of the financial crisis.
Chief executive Lloyd Blankfein is expected to unveil revenues of $11bn for the first quarter of this year on Tuesday, up from $9.4bn in the same period of 2009. About 47% of that will go into a "compensation pool" for bosses and employees.
The bank, along with Fabrice Tourre, one of its vice presidents, is the subject of a civil fraud complaint by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It denies the accusations and is understood to believe they are the result of a politically motivated witch-hunt – timed to coincide with a drive by President Obama to get tough on banks, and to come just ahead of its results.
The bank has been aware of the SEC's investigation for two years but had not spoken to investigators since September 2009 and is thought to have been taken by surprise by last week's events. Tourre has been interviewed by Goldman's internal compliance department but is still employed by the bank and has not been suspended.
Speculation over Blankfein's future is seen by insiders as "silly". However, the episode is likely to have incurred the ire of US investor Warren Buffett, who lost more than $1bn on paper in 24 hours on warrants held by his Berkshire Hathaway investment fund as Goldman shares plunged. Buffett endorsed the bank by loaning it $5bn at the height of the crisis at 10% interest. He is an outspoken critic of Wall Street sharp practice and excessive pay. Senior Goldman executives have held talks with major investors, thought to include Buffett, over the SEC accusation.
Blankfein is also anticipating tough questioning later this month on Capitol Hill. Along with other financiers he is expected to testify before the Senate's permanent subcommittee on investigations. The panel's head, Democratic senator Carl Levin, said it had discovered levels of greed that were "frankly disgusting".
Goldman made record profits of $13.4bn last year, after net revenues more than doubled to $45.2bn, racking up at least $100m in net trading revenues every other working day. This came after the demise of several rivals and despite the bank coming close to disaster itself when the crisis was at its height. It took $10bn of US government money, which it has since repaid.
Amid widespread popular anger against the banks, Goldman last year shrank its bonus pool to 36% of revenues rather than the usual 50%. Despite reining in, however, it still paid out a total of $16.2bn. Blankfein was awarded a $9m bonus in shares in 2009, down from the $68m he received in cash, shares and options in 2007.
Due to accounting rules, Goldman sets aside a higher proportion of revenues for staff rewards at the start of the year. The rate at which they are accruing for 2010 overall is likely to drop in subsequent quarters, to end up at about the same as in 2009.

Volcanic Ash Grounds Flights All Over Europe
April 16, 2010
The cloud of ash billowing from the volcano that erupted in Iceland is now reaching more than 11 kilometers into the air.
Flights across Europe have been canceled due to the volcanic ash cloud and residents are being advised to remain indoors for their own safety.
The volcano, which is located near the Eyjafjallajoekull glacier, blew on Wednesday and since then, dust and a weird odor have been identified in multiple European countries.
People in the UK who have respiratory conditions such as asthma, are being urged to remain inside for now.
According to WHO spokesman David Epstein, they are monitoring the situation very closely but are unsure of exact health risks associated with the ash cloud.
As for air travel, there is no timetable regarding when flights will be allowed to resume.

Weird News: Huge Green Fireball Meteor in Wisconsin
A giant green fireball assumed to be a meteor freaked out residents in Wisconsin and Iowa Wednesday night. The fireball lit up the night sky like it was delight and reportedly caused multiple sonic booms over the state.
The object blazed across the skies at around 10 p.m. CDT, spurring a frenzy of calls to local media. The National Weather Service reports it was probably a meteorite that shook houses under its path. Meteor showers were expected over the area over the past few days.
Not only was the meteor in Wisconsin a shocking sight in the sky, it also probably scared a number of people who didn’t even see it just from the noise alone. “Several reports of a prolonged sonic boom were received from areas north of Highway 20, along with shaking of homes, trees and various other objects including wind chimes,”The National Weather Service said in a statement.
It is unknown whether any portion of the meteorite actually hit the ground – if it was a meteorite, of course. You know there are plenty of folks out there who will be going all conspiracy theory over this thing!

"Glee" Almost Doubles Audience on Return to TV
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - High school musical comedy "Glee" nearly doubled its audience on its return to television after a four-month absence, drawing 13.7 million viewers, the Fox network said on Wednesday.
The award-winning series about a group of misfit students in a struggling competition choir saw its biggest audience ever Tuesday night, positioning the TV show for a move from cult fan status to mainstream hit.
Fox said that Tuesday's episode of "Glee" outperformed the prior season average for the show by 88 percent in total viewers, or 13.7 million people compared to 7.3 million.
"Glee", a quirky, larger-than-life comedy series that features its cast singing cover versions of pop, Broadway and rap songs, has already won Golden Globe, Peabody and Screen Actors Guild awards since its 2009 debut.
The show has been off the air since December 2009 to make way for the annual Fox ratings juggernaut "American Idol".
Two albums of "Glee" songs have hit music charts in the U.S., Australia, Ireland and the U.K., and more than 4.5 million songs from the show have been downloaded in the United States alone. Cast members will embark on a sold out U.S. concert tour in the summer.
Singing competition "American Idol" remains the most-watched U.S. TV show with an average audience in its current 9th season of 24.9 million viewers.

Charlie Sheen’s Affair with Angelina Tracy
Angelina Tracy Affair
It happens all the time in the entertainment industry—actors and actresses have affairs. But I have to say that Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen wins the awards for the worst way to have an affair.
Sure, Sheen is in rehab for his “sex addiction.” That’s one thing I could talk about for hours. I’m not saying that sex addiction isn’t a real disease—I do believe it is. But lately, tons of celebrities are using sex addiction as a scapegoat for their cheating ways. And it’s enough to piss me off.
Anyway—Sheen has been routinely leaving rehab to cheat on his wife, Brooke Mueller, with lingerie model and part-time paid escort Angelina Tracy, according to the tabloids. But what’s really sad is the “disguise” Sheen is using when leaving Tracy’s apartment: a fake moustache, a pair of sunglasses, and a hoodie. Really, Charlie? That’s one of the best disguises I’ve heard of. (I hope you can sense my sarcasm, folks.)
Now let’s talk about Angelina Tracy. Yes, you read my earlier statement correctly: Tracy is a lingerie model and part-time paid escort. She charges up to $3,000 per hour. My only question is: where do I sign up?

Trik Licik Pria Ajak Pasangan ke Ranjang!!
ADAKAH pasangan yang merasa mitra ranjangnya meminta hubungan seks terlalu sering? Entahlah, tapi kenyataannya, pria punya taktik hebat untuk bisa mengajak pasangan bercinta.
Pria jauh lebih mudah terangsang daripada wanita. Tak heran jika ajakan dan keinginan bercinta sering kali datang dari pria. Untuk Anda para wanita, berikut beberapa trik licik yang biasa dilancarkan pria agar Anda mau berhubungan seks dengannya, seperti dibeberkan Redbook.
Meminta dan ditolak
Pria menemukan waktu yang paling tepat untuk meminta seks, tapi kemudian, mereka langsung menyangkal bahwa permintaan itu hanya bersifat pertanyaan. Sebagai contoh, istri merasa frustrasi karena partner kerja yang lebih terakhir masuk darinya sudah mendapat promosi sementara ia belum.
Setelah mendengar segala kekesalannya, fantasi pria tergelitik hingga memutuskan bahwa momen itu akan menjadi saat yang tepat untuk bercinta. Pria pun mengutarakannya. Alih-alih mendapat respons positif, sang istri balik bertanya, "Kamu serius?” sambil melotot. Dalam situasi itu, pria tak tahu harus menjawab bagaimana dan memutuskan melarikan diri.
Menyalahkan
Dalam taktik ini, pria menyalahkan istri karena lamanya durasi antara pertemuan seksual. Percakapan yang muncul, misalnya:
Suami: "Kamu ingat enggak, kapan terakhir kita bercinta? Dua minggu? Sekarang kita mau jadi pasangan yang berhubungan seks cuma sebulan sekali?".
Istri: "Kamu lupa hari Senin kemarin kita mandi bareng?".
Suami tiba-tiba ingat.
Istri: "Jadi, kalau kita bercinta di kamar mandi pada hari Senin, dan ini hari Rabu, artinya baru dua hari."
Suami: "Eh, oh, aku tidak bermaksud…kamu salah dengar."
Suami pun melarikan diri. Taktik ini hanya akan efektif saat istri menyindir soal durasi antara percintaan.
Depresi
Taktik ini agak mirip dengan taktik kedua. Suami tiba-tiba diam bermuram di sekitar rumah sambil menghela napas panjang sampai istri memberikan keinginannya di ranjang. Tapi menurut pengakuan pria, cara ini jarang berhasil meskipun tak sedikit yang tetap melakukannya.
Tawar-menawar
Biasanya, ini adalah trik rayuan favorit istri dan hampir selalu berhasil. Pada dasarnya, daripada putus asa, suami menawarkan untuk mau melakukan apa pun demi hubungan seks. Tak jarang istri hanya mau bercinta saat suami menjanjikan sesuatu yang bernilai untuk dijadikan barter, misalnya, "Aku janji bantu mencuci pakaian besok”.

China Earthquake Kills At Least 300 People in Qinghai
A series of strong earthquakes struck China's western Qinghai province Wednesday, killing at least 300 people, injuring thousands and burying many others under toppled houses in a mountainous rural area, officials and state media said.
The U.S. Geological Survey said a magnitude 6.9 temblor struck an area in southern Qinghai, near Tibet, on Wednesday morning and was followed by several aftershocks.
The main quake sent residents fleeing as it toppled houses made of mud and wood, said Karsum Nyima, the Yushu county television station's deputy head of news, speaking by phone with broadcaster CCTV.
"In a flash, the houses went down. It was a terrible earthquake," he said. "In a small park, there is a Buddhist tower and the top of the tower fell off. ... Everybody is out on the streets, standing in front of their houses, trying to find their family members."
The quake hit the county of Yushu, a Tibetan area in Qinghai's south, said the China Earthquake Networks Center, which measured the quake's magnitude at 7.1. A local government Web site put the county's population in 2005 at 89,300, a community of mostly herders and farmers.
State broadcaster CCTV said the death toll had risen to about 300, with an additional 8,000 people injured.
The China Earthquake Administration said phone lines were down, hindering rescue efforts, while workers were racing to release water from a reservoir where a crack had formed after the quake.
In Jiegu, a township near the epicenter, more than 85 percent of houses had collapsed, while large cracks have appeared on buildings still standing, the official Xinhua News Agency cited Zhuohuaxia, a local publicity official, as saying.
"The streets in Jiegu are thronged with panic and full of injured people, with many of them bleeding from their injuries," he said.
There were also students buried under the debris of a collapsed vocational school, Zhuohuaxia said.
State television showed footage of paramilitary police using shovels to dig around a house with a collapsed wooden roof. A local military official, Shi Huajie, told state broadcaster CCTV rescuers were working with limited equipment.
"The difficulty we face is that we don't have any excavators. Many of the people have been buried and our soldiers are trying to pull them out with human labor," Shi said. "It is very difficult to save people with our bare hands."
Five thousand tents and 100,000 thick, cotton coats and heavy blankets were being sent to help survivors cope with strong winds and near-freezing temperatures of around 43 degrees Fahrenheit (6 degrees C), the Qinghai provincial government said in a statement.
Wu Yong, a local military chief, said medical workers also were urgently needed but that roads leading to the airport had been badly damaged by the quake, creating difficulties for people and supplies to be flown in. He said rescue efforts were hindered by frequent aftershocks and strong winds.
The epicenter of the first quake was located 235 miles (380 kilometers) south-southeast of Golmud, a large city in Qinghai, at a depth of six miles (10 kilometers), the USGS said.
Ten minutes later, the area was hit by a magnitude 5.3 quake, which was followed after two minutes by a temblor measuring 5.2, according to the U.S. agency. Both the subsequent earthquakes were measured at a depth of 6 miles (10 kilometers). Another quake, measuring 5.8, was recorded at 9:25 a.m.
Xinhua cited officials at the China Earthquake Networks Center as saying at least 18 aftershocks have been reported and that more temblors exceeding magnitude 6 were likely to occur in the coming days.
In 2008, a magnitude-7.9 quake in Sichuan province left almost 90,000 people dead or missing

Kayden Nguyen Sues Steven Seagal for Sexual Harassment & Female Trafficking...!
Steven Seagal is being sued for sexual harassment as well as illegal female trafficking for sex. Steven Seagal is well known for his popular 1990’s martial arts movies. According to Radar Online, Steven Seagal is being sued by his personal assistant that he found on Craig’s List. The personal assistant’s name is Kayden Nguyen and she is 23 year old former model. Nguyen was hired to be his personal assistant to live in his house for his A & E reality TV show Steven Seagal: Lawman.
When Nguyen arrived from Los Angeles to New Orleans, the sexual harassment began even the night that she arrived. At times, Kayden Nguyen would have to run from the sexual advances of Steven Seagal.
Kayden Ngyuen is suing Steven Seagal for “sexual harassment, illegal trafficking of females for sex, failure to prevent sexual harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination and false representation about employment.” The court documents also indicate that Steven Seagal is holding 2 young female Russians whom he calls his “attendants.” Nguyen is claiming that Seagal uses the girls for his sexual pleasure anytime, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
I find it quite interesting that Steven Seagal's show is called Steven Seagal: Lawman and he is being accused of some pretty horrendous things.

What Women Want From Men
Today’s women have achieved more than their great grandmothers could have ever imagined. Women are in politics, women are in space; women are excelling in every career imaginable. Women today are strong, independent and sexually liberated; Gloria Steinem would be proud.
Despite the females social evolution, however, you may be surprised to learn that women actually still enjoy being treated like women, and they still appreciate a little chivalry now and then. Cliche as some of these tips sound, they will score you big points with any lady who enjoys being treated well.
The following is a list of what women want from men.
What women want… :
Return her messages
Many women gauge a man’s interest level by how long it takes him to respond when she contacts him. If his response time is poor, she might assume he’s just not that into her. Now, it’s no secret that women and men have differing opinions on what constitutes good communication, and we’re not saying you need to drop everything the minute she calls. She knows you’re a busy man; she’s busy too. What women want from men is a call back as soon as they’re able, as opposed to sometime the following day. This doesn’t mean you have to send an e-mail or a text of epic proportions if you don’t have time; a sentence or two will suffice to make her feel like you care -- which is all she really wants to know.
Kiss her for no reason
As much as they love sex, women also enjoy a nice, deep kiss that doesn’t have any strings attached. This serves two purposes: It lets her indulge in kissing for the sheer pleasure of it, and it also tells her you want her, and not just sex. Yes, you’re charming and sexy and she loves being naughty for you, but sometimes she needs a different type of connection. To really do what women want from men, try a surprise kiss for no reason at all; she’ll love you for it. Combine this with a little hand-holding and she’ll be smiling for days.
Dance with her
Simply put, dancing with a woman makes her feel special. Unfortunately, most men are reluctant to put their dancing shoes on, especially in a public setting. Guess what? While she’d probably welcome the idea, you don’t need to visit a nightclub to dance with your woman. She’ll be just as thrilled if you slipped a little Marvin Gaye on and danced with her in the living room. This would actually be to your advantage, as you have total control over the music. You’re also conveniently located if the dancing starts to get dirty…
Dress up for her
Dressing up to take your woman out is an excellent way to impress her. It’s not about the clothes; it’s about the fact that you find her worth dressing up for. It lets her know that you think she’s worth that kind of effort. Besides, a nice shirt and dress pants can increase your sex appeal by leaps and bounds; you may feel overdressed, but your hotness factor will have magnified exponentially. It’s true what they say: Women really do love a sharp-dressed man.
Remember random milestones
As a rule, birthdays and anniversaries should always be remembered; forgetting something of this magnitude will send the message that you don’t find her terribly important. After all, she probably memorized yours early on in the relationship, so if hers goes unnoticed, she’ll be utterly heartbroken. Here's how to do what women want from men: To truly impress her, aim to remember the insignificant dates, as well as the big ones. The first time you told her you loved her, the first time you kissed, the first place you vacationed together, what she was wearing the first time you met -- any one of these will turn her to jelly and score you more bonus points than you can shake a stick at.
Take on an activity with her
What women want from men is to spend time with their man outside of the bedroom. They want to experience life with their man, and this is one of the best ways to develop a three-dimensional relationship. Don’t worry; we’re not recommending you join her yoga class; rock-climbing, hiking, tennis or cycling are activities both of you can enjoy. If neither of you are the sporty type, try something else that you already excel at. Teach her how to swing a 9-iron or to shoot pool -- she’ll love the personalized attention.
Propose a visit to her family
Women love it when a man gets along with her friends, but she simply adores it when he gets along with her family. Even if you’re not particularly fond of her busybody mother and father, suggesting a visit (even just a yearly one) can really make your woman’s day. It lets her know you recognize the importance of family. This is truly the kind of suggestion that leads to a warm and fuzzy feeling, so don’t be afraid to suggest it.

Crazy Things Women Do On Facebook
The Facebook phenomenon has allowed you to reconnect with your best friend from elementary school, keep up with your buddy’s travels and get out of hours-long phone conversations with your aunt. It truly is a remarkable tool. However, as with most things, there is a dark side to Facebook. While your male brain may not have tapped in to the full manipulation potential of this seemingly innocuous social networking tool, chances are several of the women you know have. Women are trained in the art of creating, maintaining and controlling relationships, and Facebook is just one more resource they can use to keep tabs on and influence people. Here's a list of some crazy things women do on facebook.
Women set up fake profiles to follow exes on Facebook
This one may seem a bit extreme, but it is certainly not unheard-of for a woman to set up a fake Facebook persona in order to creep on her ex’s profile. At the very least, she might get a mutual friend to allow her a little access to an ex’s Facebook page. Whether you broke up badly or it was mostly mutual, if you don’t keep in touch, she probably wants to know what you’re up to. Instead of calling or e-mailing you, it’s easier and less embarrassing to scope out your profile while you are blissfully unaware that she is checking up on you. If you want to prevent this from happening, don’t add any strangers to your friends list. If you have a friend you know is still in touch with her, keep your interactions limited.
Women manipulate through Facebook photos
The photos a woman posts on her profile can be innocent -- or they can be totally manipulative. Another crazy thing women do on Facebook is to put up embarrassing or compromising photos of people that have gotten on her bad side. When a guy breaks up with a girl and the next day photos of him in one of her dresses hit her profile, it’s not only vindictive, but also pretty immature.
A woman might also use her Facebook photo albums to present an image of herself that doesn’t exactly match up to reality. In her photos she might appear more sexy, more adventurous and altogether more exciting than she is in real life.
Women post passive-aggressive Facebook status updates
The Facebook status update can share big news with your friends or the mundane activities of your day, but for some women they can also serve an emotionally manipulative purpose. Whether it’s because she hates confrontation or she just wants the world to know what a jerk her boyfriend is, some women use their status updates to air complaints about their relationship instead of sitting down and talking it out directly. For example: “Valerie visited the jewelery store and is tired of waiting!!!!” could be a not-so-subtle clue that she doesn’t want to wait for that engagement ring much longer. Post-breakup, a woman might post status updates that hint at a crazy social life: “Melanie is exhausted from a crazy night!” or “Jessica is having a great day,” are both the types of messages that say a lot more when they come right after a big breakup.
Women post ambiguous relationship photos
It’s not uncommon to see pictures of women with their arms around their friends, kissing them on the cheek, whether their friends are men or women. For some, these may be innocuous expressions of affection for their good friends, but for others they could be an attempt to elicit an envious response from their partners. These ambiguous photos with other guys could also cause other people to question the strength of her relationship with her boyfriend.
If it’s a single girl posting pics of her getting close to guys without making it clear whether or not they are dating, it can throw people off when they are thinking about making a move, causing them to be unsure of whether or not she’s already taken.
Posting a fake relationship status
Some unattached women choose “in a relationship” for their profile just so people won’t start matchmaking or single-girl-pitying. A single woman of a certain age is a prime target for people who think everyone should be paired off in "happily ever after" relationships. Some single women even arrange with one of their close girlfriends to be each other’s “in a relationship with” person to avoid this kind of condescending sympathy. They’d rather raise questions about their sexual orientation than leave the space blank.
Women do crazy things on facebook
Facebook can be a force for good when it’s used responsibly, but it can also be destructive to a relationship or a reputation if the person who wields the power thinks she can do so with impunity. Unfortunately, if she’s determined to keep it up, there’s not much you can do about any of these behaviors other than expressing your displeasure and asking her to cut it out. If she’s your girlfriend she should have enough consideration for you to hear you out. If she’s your ex, all you can do is kick yourself in the ass for agreeing to try on that dress in the first place.

5 Lies All Women Tell
You trust her, you adore her, you worship the ground she walks on. However, make no mistake about it, gentlemen; all women lie in certain situations and your little angel is no exception. For the sake of this article and to help you out, we've narrowed the spectrum to the essential five lies all women tell.
Sometimes she's only fibbing a bit to protect her own feelings or yours. Sometimes her motives are less laudable, like lying to cover her tracks. Whatever the case, certain lies occur much more frequently than others. It's up to you to learn the five lies all women tell, and how to handle them.
"I'm not mad at you."
Oh, yes she is. Don't think you're getting off that easily. This lie is one of the most frequently used in relationships. Typically, women who have been hurt by men in their lives -- often inadvertently -- use this phrase as an emotional defense. For example, if a guy forgets his girlfriend's birthday, calls her by his ex's name or commits any of the other minor screwups that most men do on a daily basis, women usually can't just let it go. They dwell on it, letting worries whittle away normal feelings of well-being like a dog gnaws on a bone.
Instead of admitting that she's actually quite hurt by his relatively minor offense, the woman will halfheartedly pretend that she doesn't care at all. In reality, she does care, very much so, but doesn't want to look too anal-retentive or bitchy about it, so she puts up the flimsiest of facades to indicate otherwise and tells one of the five lies all women tell.
Lie radar: This lie is extremely easy to pick up on because women barely bother to hide their irritation in this situation. As unfair as it may seem, they basically want men to read their minds and learn that, in this case, "No, I'm not angry" actually means "I am shooting invisible hate laser beams at you right now, please pick up on it." Excessive eye rolling, mean tones and passive-aggressive behavior in general are dead giveaways.
What you should do: Save yourself some time and headaches later on by calling her on her real feelings and discussing why she's so angry.
"I don't mind if you go to strip clubs with the boys."
Wow, you have the coolest girlfriend ever! Not quite. If this one sounds too good to be true, that's because it is. Word to the wise: Virtually all women mind when their men go out to ogle other women at strip clubs without them. It's only a question of how much they mind.
This one of the five lies women tell is very similar to lie No. 1, in that it is another fib that only comes up in relationships and is told by women to make themselves seem less pathetically needy. In general, women are extremely wary of their boyfriends being in highly sexually charged situations without them. Also, they hate to feel second best to a boys' night out. In this case, she's either telling one of the five lies all women tell to save face or to test you.
For the same reasons, they are also lying when they say they don't mind you checking out other women in front of them.
Lie radar: This lie is usually a little bit more artfully concealed than the first because it's a little bit more pathetic to own up to one's insecurity. It's best to just always assume that this statement is a lie.
What you should do: You're probably better off just not going. Ask yourself: Are two hours of bare booty worth weeks, even months, of bitchy comments?
"I'm just not ready for a boyfriend right now."
Once again, this statement is almost always false, although at least it's told with the best intentions, in order to soften rejection. It might be followed by an additional excuse such as: "I just came out of a bad relationship, and I don't want to be hurt again," or "I'm just too busy with my career right now to have a boyfriend." The truth is, if the woman is single and at all interested in you, she will certainly make the time to date you. It's that simple.
Lie radar: Does she seem uncomfortable, avoid eye contact, talk too much, and come up with numerous excuses? Liar, liar, miniskirt on fire.
What you should do: Let it go. Don't bother letting her know that you see through it. Take the easy way out by pretending you believe her for your own personal dignity, and just walk away.
"I don't mind picking up the tab tonight; you always pay anyway."
Not true. Although this lie doesn't apply to all women, most still do expect men to pay for things, especially if the man asked them out in the first place. They will secretly think that the guy is cheap if he wriggles out of the bill on a regular basis. Men should always at least offer to pay for dinner if they have asked the woman out. If she protests vigorously , then go Dutch; if she just protests casually, she's only doing it out of politeness -- so pay for it.
Lie radar: If she says: "Oh, I'll cover this," but doesn't even make the motion of rooting around in her purse for her wallet, it means that she has no real intention of paying.
What you should do: Dude, just go to the date fully prepared to pay for the whole shebang. In later stages of the relationship, you can work out a fair way to determine who treats who when, but in the early, critical dating stages, don't risk looking cheap.
"That was f*cking great!"
This lie falls under the broad category of sex lies. When women are committed to a man, they focus on him, often believing, time and time again, that he is "the one." Because girls have this tendency, they also tell guys whatever they think they want to hear (like they just had an orgasm), just to make them feel good about themselves.
Sex lies are a dime a dozen. Other sex untruths women often tell are the following: "I only cum with you"; "You have the longest penis"; "Yes, I came"; and "I've only been with X number of guys before." (They will decrease their actual number of sex partners because they're worried you will think they're promiscuous.)
Lie radar: When it comes to sex, that most sensitive of topics, it's safe to say that you should take most things she tells you with a grain of salt.
What you should do: You shouldn't be asking her to rate her sexual experiences, period. That's just in poor taste. If she offers you one of the lies above on her own, however, laugh and change the subject, as if to say: "That's flattering, but I don't really take these things too seriously as long as we're both happy with our sex life."
Long live the lie detector king
Now that you know the five lies all women tell, be on the lookout for them, and react accordingly. Once she learns that you can't be tricked, she'll be more straightforward with you in the future.

Top 10: Female Sex Fantasies
If you think women don’t sit around fantasizing about very naughty things, think again. Women are experts when it comes to dreaming up the sauciest of fantasies, and they don’t bother limiting themselves to the traditional. The top 10 female sex fantasies cover everything from fetish to threesomes, and you may be surprised to know that many women want to do more than just fantasize. Some women spend just as much time hoping their men will help put their female sex fantasies into practice. Sound interesting? Read on: we'll give you the inside scoop on the top 10 female sex fantasies, and what she’s really daydreaming about when you least expect it.
Number 10
Domination (her dominating you)
Women love a big strong man who can sweep them off their feet and carry them into the sunset -- but you may be surprised to learn that one of the top female sex fantasies is to have that same big strong man begging for sexual release in the bedroom. One of the top 10 female fantasies involves tying you down to a bed while she forces you to pleasure her with your tongue; the entire scenario revolves around you worshipping her body and begging for her attention. Why? She gets to be in control while enjoying total devotion from her man in the process. What more could she want?
Number 9
Domination (you dominating her)
The advent of the metrosexual is most commonly blamed for this top 10 female sex fantasy. It seems that modern, independent women actually prefer real men who aren’t afraid to embrace their testosterone. This woman fantasizes about you pinning her down, thrusting her thighs apart with your knee and penetrating her as savagely as you possibly can. She wants to feel your fingers snake through her hair and pull her head back; she wants to feel your teeth on her shoulder; she wants to be owned -- if only while in the bedroom (after which, she’ll want a clear return to equality). This win-win female sex fantasy scenario allows her to fully indulge her femininity, while still espousing the merits of feminism.
Number 8
Teacher/student
You’ll be thrilled to know that the Britney Spears fantasy isn’t just for men: Women love the idea of dressing up like a schoolgirl and parading about for your viewing pleasure. Many would even like to take it a step further, playing the naughty tart who won’t stop teasing you until you pull her over your knee and give her the spanking she craves. That’s right: Loads and loads of grown women fantasize about getting a proper spanking from their man. A spanking from you is exciting for two reasons: not only does this mild show of dominance hurt so good, but it also usually leads straight into hot, hot sex.
Number 7
Sex with a stranger
Most women wouldn’t have the chutzpah to act out this top 10 female sex fantasy, but you’d better believe that most have thoroughly enjoyed thinking about it. No-strings-attached sex is something many women would love to experience, but most are dissuaded from it thanks to a lofty load of self-produced guilt. Nevertheless, her panties definitely get wet at the idea of a gorgeous male approaching her in a dark, smoky bar and taking her back to his room for a long, hot night of wild sex. This female sex fantasy appeals to her naughtiest side -- the kinky one that rarely sees the light of day, thanks to a lifetime of religious and societal conditioning.
Number 6
Threesome with another woman
These days, it’s fairly common for straight women to get down with other women now and again, making this top 10 female sex fantasy a not-so-unrealistic possibility. That being said, this threesome fantasy rarely involves you getting playtime with the second hottie, as most girlfriends do not want to see their man touch another woman. In this scenario, you’re meant to play voyeur until your woman is ready for something more hardcore. This allows her to experience the best of both worlds without having to worry about things like jealousy or sharing.
Number 5
Threesome with two men
This top 10 female sex fantasy involves the woman being worshipped and adored by two gorgeous men. These men are typically heterosexual and, therefore, only interested in the woman -- which translates into a whole lot of action for her. Her sex fantasy might be as innocent as being penetrated by one man while performing oral sex on the other or it might go further, drawing on more hardcore aspects such as double penetration and the like. This female sex fantasy is the ultimate taboo for many women, which makes it all the more fun to imagine.
Number 4
Voyeurism
If you think women don’t enjoy watching other people get it on, you’re completely mistaken. Your woman likes to watch for the same reasons you do: it’s erotic, exhilarating and slightly taboo. She may fantasize about peeping through the neighbor’s bedroom window, spying on a kinky couple in the park or even catching a full-on orgy from the sidelines. Believe it when we tell you she enjoys "watching" just as much as you do; it allows to her be naughty without getting her hands dirty, so to speak.
Number 3
Rape
As mentioned in our Common Female Fantasies article, rape is a massively popular fantasy among women. Most psychologists believe this top 10 female sex fantasy allows a woman to have the wild, dirty sex she craves, without having to suffer the guilt that often follows. These female sex fantasies usually involve a gorgeous man carrying her off to his bedroom and quickly getting down to business. She’ll protest as he tears her clothing off and expertly arouses her body, but on the inside, she’ll love every minute of it. This continues to the point of penetration, and leads her to an incredible orgasm despite her earlier protests. This female sex fantasy allows a woman to be wanton and enjoy sex -- something society rarely permits.
Number 2
Exhibitionism
She might cringe when you bring up the topic of making homemade porn flicks, but your woman has probably fantasized about doing precisely that at one time or another. Unfortunately, most women are far too body-conscious to experiment with such things, making this a top 10 female sex fantasy, as opposed to a reality. Believe it or not, some women even take this desire to the next level, fantasizing about others watching as you shag her silly in a public place
Number 1
Private dancer
Most women wouldn’t have the nerve to strip in a public setting, but this top 10 female sex fantasy definitely involves taking it all off. She loves the idea of tantalizing you with a striptease, and she’d love to give you a private lap dance. Why? Your enjoyment tells her you find her attractive, and your erection tells her she has control -- a potent combination that women simply can’t get enough of.
fantasy can lead to reality
Some of these female sex fantasies may have little chance of progressing to reality with your woman, but some have more potential than you may realize. A little bit of coaxing can go a long way in terms of spicing things up in the bedroom. Ask her which of these top 10 female sex fantasies she finds most appealing, and see if she’s willing to experiment -- you may be surprised by her answer.
