How to be a sex goddess
How to guides: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me". Vamp screen icon Tallulah Bankhead was a sex goddess with some bite to her, and she even managed to keep her clothes - most of the time. With some nips and tucks to your attitude, not your body, you can be a bona fide sex goddess too.
7 Ways To Survive Being an Alternative Jobhunter
Careers: "Two years after writing 10 Ways to Survive being an Alternative Student, Roswell Ivory has left university with a degree and a debt. It's time to either take another course and defer the outside world for three more years, or get a bloody job... The thing is, she's still an alternative student at heart and some jobs just don't accommodate that. So for current students looking for holiday work, or uni graduates seeking a career, here are...

Cheating - Is it worth it?
Opinion: There is no doubt - we are ladies, irresistible, intelligent, worth dying for and we can do anything... right? Life is the most wonderful thing there is, and it gives us the chance to thrive and... fuck up.

Magical spell for beautiful hair
Pagan magic: A good magical spell needs faith, a strong will, determination and a sense of ritual. If you've got the determination to gather 3 gallons of rainwater and all sorts of other ingredients, and to brush your hair a hundred times, and to chant an incantation, then maybe you will attain your heart's desire... magically beautiful hair!
Love Is All... 9 times that same song
Music: 'Love Is All' are a bunch of skronky Swedes who somehow got missed in the day-glo rush of 2006. The lead singer is rightly compared to Karen O and the new album should prove a bit of a gem. Can you have a band that knowingly sings entirely about love and also about keeping your boyfriend in a freezer? Let us answer that with another question - wouldn't it be wrong not to?
How to make a pillowcase skirt
Indie arts and crafts: Pillowcases come in lovely fabrics, so why not make a skirt out of one - either elastic waisted or zipper? Oh, and it's probably a fine idea to make one out of a pillowcase that isn't see-through...

How to get pale skin
Beauty tips: Her dark hair shimmered in the moonlight - and it struck her admirer that her skin reflected the colour of that pale orb so perfectly as to seem almost bloodless.
Not pale yet, but want the illusion of pallor? Well, all beauty's an illusion. So here's to cheating...
