This match has me playing against the Alekhine's Defense. As my opponent was rated significantly higher than me, I tried something a little risky in the beginning with a bishop sack. My opponent probably should have been able to win, but I think the sack through him off guard and probably made him feel like this would be an easy win, which caused him to make some positional mistakes that I was able to capitalize on. Watch and store it in your own arsenal.

Yes, it takes a lot of work to be a girl. Before a big event like prom or a wedding, it's almost unheard of to step foot outside your door without a beautiful head of curls pinned up into a low bun, rouge dusted on lightly so as to impart a healthy sheen rather than a ruddy, feverish red, your nail manicured into sparkly, glossy perfection, and a delightful dress with matching heels you spent hours shopping for.
What you wear to school, work, or even to go shopping with the girls is an expression of who you are - your personality, tastes, and interests. So why wouldn't you also want to clothe your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in a unique wrapper?
Christina Hendricks has (relatively) short hair and pulls off the bob look beautifully. But that doesn't mean that longer-haired girls like you and I can't achieve bob edginess.
Unless you've been living under a WiFi disabled rock for the past year or two, you probably know about Nicole Richie. And if you've heard of the It girl, then you probably also know that she's been setting trends left and right with her bohemian, waif-y tendencies of dress and hair.
Before Bon Jovi caused teenage girls to spontaneously and simultaneously burst out of their clothing at his concerts he was just a kid in his basement, strumming chord after chord until his fingers turned red.

Facials are like magical wonders in a jar - slather some on at home, or get one professionally done at a spa, and you instantly go from tired and beat to a girl ready to take on the world. But purchasing a spa-quality facial, or even buying a "facial in a jar" at a store, can cost quite a lot of money.
When you were a little girl, dressing up as a devil lady meant painting your face red with that kit you got from the Halloween store, clipping on some horns, and giving your best snarl. But these days we think you can do the devil look in a much sexier and chicer way.
In her new music video for "Dance in the Dark," Lady Gaga continues her wild performance art with looks that will no doubt soon be copied by girls all over for Halloween.

Applying black false eyelashes is scary enough for most girls. But if you've been one of the brave few to venture out and stick on that wad of fake hair to your eye then you know that falsies can easily take your eyes from blah to wow. Falsies make your eyes look wider and more awake and are pretty easy to apply, so what reason is there not to use them?
Poison Ivy is one of our favorite female antagonists from "Batman." Sure, girl was a little crazy about her precious plants, but she was hot as hell and wore cute, skimpy outfits that flaunted her bodacious curves. She was also pretty damn gorgeous, all the more perfect for ensnaring her victims.
