Staying healthy is super fashionable! Although, Cancer awareness Day was on February 4th does not mean we forget about the disease, its survivors, and the people we so much love that it has taken away from us. Please, please, please get your checkups early Fashkiddos and do not forget to make a donation to a charity of your choice. Cancer is a malignant disease, but if it is detected early the better your chances will be of fighting it. Cancer attacks men and women of all races and ages. No one is 100% safe. Make an appointment with your doctor today! Are you a survivor or know someone who has/had Cancer and would like to share it with us? Please do and we will feature it on FashAddiX. XoXo
Ladies, you need to start your day, everyday, feeling beautiful. And it is impossible for you to do so when waking up, putting on your undies (if you wear them) and they are grandmama panties! We tend to buy lingerie for our partners or a special occasion, but everyday should be a special day for you just because you’re one of a kind doll! So go ahead and start the day by wearing the most comfortable (go for brushed cotton or micro-denier fibers) sexy underwear ever! You have to start feeling gorgeous inside out, and what lies beneath your clothes should feel as sensual as your garments on the outside.
PLASTIC SURGERY: It should come as no surprise that many women tend to have low self-esteem, especially young women. They want to get work done just to feel wanted/accepted. Now, we’re not persecuting those who go under the knife. We promote plastic surgery to an extent, and feel women should get cosmetic work done if only it makes them happy, not because someone wants them to do it. For instance, I have a friend who got her breasts done because her boyfriend wanted her to have bigger boobs, now she’s miserable with her extremely large breasts for her small frame, but she did it to make him happy. Bad move. This is now something she has to live with whether he stays or he goes. You should always do what makes you happy. If it is something you want, go for it, but don’t do it for somebody else. I cannot stress enough how the most important person in a relationship is YOU. You should do what makes you happy and if you don’t have an understanding partner then maybe it is time to reevaluate your relationship. Many women are so naturally beautiful they don’t even see it. If you want to go for change, all you may need is something as simple as a new haircut, hair color, wardrobe or a bit of makeup for a shocking transformation. No need to call a local plastic surgeon. Celebrities and models are what many women idolize, and this is another reason why women get surgery done not realizing many celebs are highly Photoshopped and far from perfect. I even dare say that many of you are probably even more beautiful than many stars on TV.
DATING LOSERS: If you’ve ever dated a player, hold your hands up high *I’m raising both of mine*. Life is a learning lesson, and we should make these lessons as fun and painless as possible. It’s great to have a good time and enjoy yourself. What’s not great is staying with a player who treats you like a game. Games are for little boys. And every woman deserves a real person who is mature enough to value a woman’s worth. That’s where us women go wrong. The player needs someone to play with. If you drop out of the game, he is going to have to play solo or look for a bimbo who will put up with it. You are not that bimbo. If a man/woman can’t treat you as the gem you truly are, you don’t need that person in your life. Most of the time players are just insecure individuals who need to play with other people to boost their low self-esteem. Don’t be a pawn or allow yourself to be used to alter someone’s ego. If you’re looking to have a great time, then by all means, have FUN. But if you’re not, value yourself, know what you want, be aware of what you deserve and keep on moving. Women have so much to offer, the world is filled with many wonderful and beautiful people. Don’t settle for crumbs when you can have the whole pie, which leads us to our next topic…
SETTLING: I see it all the time, women married 15-30 years (sometimes even less time) and they stay with a partner for all of the wrong reasons. Either because you feel comfortable with them, you are doing it for the kids, it has been so many years you don’t think you can find anyone better, economic situation, etc. There should be a law that nothing or no one should stop you from being happy. I have an older friend who was married 25 years. She was in a toxic relationship. This man gave her mental, physical and verbal abuse. She said she has taken it for so long it became second nature to her, and at her age she was afraid to leave, or find someone else that she feared could be even worse than her husband. I’m no psychologist (God knows I look at people’s clothes instead of their problems), but I wasn’t going to judge her way of thinking, she only could express what she knows. However, I knew I didn’t need a PhD in Psychology to let her know she needed someone better. I persuaded her, assisted her and she finally divorced this man. It has been 5 years since. She converted into Christianity, met a great Christian man, and at 54 years old she has remarried, but now to this wonderful person who I’m sure isn’t perfect, but he treats her with the respect she deserves. She wasted 25 years of her life, she did not need to waste another 25. She didn’t have to settle, and I’m glad she didn’t. You have to take risks if you want to be safe. Moral of the story is don’t be afraid to walkout of an engagement, marriage, or a relationship if it doesn’t feel right to you. Forget the consequences. Your happiness is worth everything. If you’re not happy you can’t make anyone else happy, including your family. And that’s unfair to them. Your loved ones would rather see you in pure bliss alone then miserable with someone you don’t want to be with.
SELLING THEMSELVES SHORT: Live life to your own standards. Don’t live up to anyone’s expectations. Many women don’t see what they’ve got to offer and they allow other people’s perception of them bring them down. I know many women who allow other people to demean them, and it’s usually other women who are JEALOUS of them. Only you can make yourself feel that way. Never feel less smarter, prepared or attractive than anyone else. My mother always told me, “Remember, you are NOT better than anyone, but DON’T forget, no one is better than you.” And I love her for that. Every person has something beautiful to offer don’t let anyone tell you different. Many people will try to put you down, so they could elevate themselves. Never question your abilities. You are the most special person ever and you deserve nothing less than the best. We’ve all got something wonderful to contribute, don’t second guess it. When one door closes, in any angle of your life, it is because a better one will open up and trust me, what may seem to be the end of the world, will turn out to be the beginning of a wonderful journey.
LIVE how you want, SAY what you want, DO what you want *as long as you don’t hurt nobody, including yourself*!

Drag Queens have the best of both worlds! Men don’t know how truly hard it is being a woman. Besides the fact that we get a visit from the ENEMY once a month and that we suffer labor pains, this does not suffice. In addition, we have to go to extremes to attract others. I see it all the time. It can be zero degrees outside and women wear 5-6 inch heels (in the middle of the snow) with mini skirts (showing their gorgeous legs, yet freezing to death), and they do all of this for attention. It is not to say that we do it for ourselves, YES we do. We want to look pretty for us, but we also like to look good for other people. Below are things you may think are entertaining to us, but in reality they are daunting tasks.
SALONS- Going to a salon isn’t fun. Tell us what is so great about waiting to be attended to so you can get your hair cut/done. Staying hours at one place (when you could be doing something else), gossiping (about people you don’t know), and sitting under a hair drying machine (a.k.a. torture chamber) for 1-3 hours… it is rough! It doesn’t STOP there. Once we’re done with that session we’re off to another meet and greet with heat and irons, and need we mention the merciless hot air of a blow dryer that burns our scalp and fries our brain? ALL of this just to look pretty for one day or two and then back again for your next appointment. Read more »

The following is an E-mail from one of our readers: Peter P. of Chicago, IL was smitten, but now is brokenhearted over a girl that he realized wasn’t “genuine” the night she stood over:
Pissed off Paul writes,“I loved her eyes, she later admitted to wearing contacts, her rosy pink cheeks were tons of blush and those lashes she seduced me with, were FAKE!When one of those things fell off I thought it was a centipede crawling up her face.Forget the slim shape I so much liked, she had some granny-shorts on she called “SPANX”.Did I mention she had weave on?Those long silky curls snapped right off! I was hoping for the worst when I got in between her legs! I love women who are simple, yet I was falling for someone who doesn’t exist, how can I see a woman’s true colors without it being too late?”Read more »
