Wondering where she got the idea of  gluing pearls to her face….and her body. Well it’s by Canadian Artist Terence Koh. He designed the whole set – Piano, make-up & clothes!

Lady Gaga attended the amfAR benefit gala (The Foundation for AIDS Research) last Wednesday night – in the middle of a blizzard – to kick off New York Fashion Week.

Dear Shazam,

Everyone in my school is doing New Years Resolutions.

Do you feel that they actually do work? I am a 16 year old teen. I would like my resolution to be to lose weight. However in the past I seem just to go up and down. Losing way too much weight.

Is the “so called” New Years Resolutions a good thing for me or is there another way for me to achieve my goals??

Sincerely Teen Troubled.

Dear TT,

I for one in my many years have learned that New Years Resolutions work for nobody. In a matter of less then a month all the hype just doesn’t work.

In our society today we have learned that to fit in we need to follow certain paths that pave our society. This is not the case now.

Our lifstyles have changed for the better in the last decade. Instead of having a “New Years Resolution”
I believe it would be better to make a life change towards food and diet. Change your mind set
and just go with the basic’s of eating healthy and exercising. This shall always work,
You just have to put your first foot forward and the rest will follow. Also you might want
to keep a log or diary of food and exercising to see progress.

Best of luck!

Shazam

Dear Shazzam,

I am in 7th grade. I like this boy Shane a lot. My friends say he is just
my first “crush”. But, I am a little confused about what a “crush” is?

For he likes me too. So some friends are telling me it’s “puppy love”.
But, I thought “puppy love” was when you’re younger, cause, we
do go and hangout along with going to the movies.

Is it really just a “crush”?

~Embarrassed Beyond Belief.

Dear EBB,

I can understand your frustration with the theory of “puppy love”.
By no means at you age are you in “puppy love”.

You are past that stage.  Labeling what you are with
your guy friends is just a “label”.

Look beyond the words of peers and family. And, just enjoy
the time you have together. Then you will be more confident and
happy.

Shazzam
