It’s COSMO time!!!

So…ever wonder what guys notice about you immediately when you first meet them? Well, wonder no more, dolls!

Cosmo breaks down what the darling gents pay attention to, as soon as they set their eyes on us

Cosmo’s “The 6 Things Guys Notice 6 Seconds After You Meet”
by Ky Henderson – source

1. Your Smile

Does it seem sweet and genuine? Does it seem awkward and forced? Does it seem like you ate a sesame-seed and parsley salad for lunch based on what’s lodged between every single one of your teeth?

2. Your Hair

Guys have no idea what split ends are, and if you mention roots, they just think of the band. But they do look to see if your hair looks 1. soft and 2. as though it would smell good. So don’t request “The Gosselin” at the salon, and wash it every so often. That’s all guys ask.

3. Your Cleavage

Newsflash: Dudes like to look at your chest. Now, that’s not to say they think all women should unbutton their shirts to their bellybuttons at funerals. (Though really, who are guys to judge?) But they will notice how you’re showing off what you’ve got.

4. Your Makeup

If you’re wearing so much makeup that it looks like you’ve painted an entirely new face on top of your actual face, guys will wonder if you’re trying to cover up some bizarre deformation — or if you’re Gotham City’s most dangerous criminal mastermind.

5. Your Skin

You know that blemish you’ve been obsessing over all day because it’s so huge? Chances are guys won’t even notice. What will they notice? If you look like a jaundiced Oompa-Loompa because of overenthusiastic tanning.

6. Your Bag

Are all women who haul around big purses — in other words, cavernous rucksacks stuffed full of old receipts, emergency sweaters, and half-used bottles of hand sanitizer — high maintenance? Maybe not. But guys will go ahead and assume they are anyway.

Let Your Mini Flirt for You

Sooo…

There are a few options I still have avail to me for NYE. Yes, I still have not decided what I am doing yet or what I AM WEARING. For shiz. I feel tired already…

Ok, let’s see – I can choose from the following options:

1. Chic Celebration @ Stone Rose Lounge in the Time Warner Center;

source
I’ve been to Stone Rose Lounge a few times already and it is FABULUSH. I can only imagine how much more fabulush it will be on an eve such as New Year’s with the celebratory vibe and an unbelievable view of Central Park…STUNNING.

Problem is – I don’t have a date. You know, one that I would actually want to spend NYE with, not a filler-guy (sadly, they are more than eager to attend). The rest of the gals will be with their sidekick-fellas, so I am not so sure about this option.

2. Fabulous Soiree hosted in my gf’s townhouse apartment on the UWS;
source
My gf’s townhouse apt is UNREAL. With a Riverside Drive view of the Hudson River (fireworks?) and a celebration filled with industry peeps/up & coming designers/restaurant owners and such…I am thinking, drinks & schmoozing?

But that kinda feels more like work then a celebration. Plus it’s all the way on the UWS (yes, I’m serious – lol).

3. Exclusive NYE Party @ Soho House, courtesy of my gf K.
source
Just finished up a phone convo with my gf K. She is newly single, having broken up with her bf a few weeks before Christmas (the hell’s up with pre-holiday break ups.?? SUX x 100!!!). Since she is single, she is in total mingle-mode and asked me if I’d like come with her to the fabulously exclusive Soho House.

Darling K is an FIT grad and an emerging couture lingerie designer who resides in Williamsburg. She decided to MAKE HER OWN NYE DRESS. Seriously? Done. She designed a sultry, plunging v-neck navy number that will not only make her look ferosh, but will showcase her sick talent.

SO….WHAT WILL I WEAR, DAHLINGS?!?!
Date Night Outy -’New Year’s Eve in NYC’
Evening One-Shouldered Dress, Silver Peep-Toe Pumps, Cuff Bracelet
So dahlings…what are your plans for New Year’s Eve?

Mid-week kissies,

p.s. – My pink Nano finally arrived (officially twinsies, Liz!) & I just downloaded JM’s Battlefield Studies…track list works perfectly when blogging abt dating, hoo-wah!

My fav is ‘ASSASSIN’, about both lovers being heart-breakers.

Fashion by He, who herein shall be referred to as HE, is one of my abs fav male fashion bloggers & stylists. His witty & forthright commentaries on Street-Style looks, keeps me comin’ back to FBH cada dia, for shiz.
In his guest post, HE shall let us know what to and what NOT to wear, when going on a 1st date. Take it away doll…
Congratulations! You have secured a first date. Now the question becomes: what the hell are you gonna wear? Gotta ask yourself a question first: What do you want out of this date? If you want to get laid, dress and/or act slutty and it will probably work every time. If you want something a little more meaningful, read on.

You want to feel good on your date, so dress to impress. Always start with heels. Personally for He, if a girl shows up to a date and she isn’t in heels, she’s already dug herself a hole.

Unless you are going to be on an active date, wear heels. They make everything look better, plain and simple. After you have a pair of heels everything else is easy, or should be. What you wear will say a lot about you: dress too conservatively and the guy will think you’re not as fun and possible a ton of work; dress too whore-ish and, well, see paragraph 1. He says be comfortable but classy, show some skin, jeans are always a safe bet. Dresses are good too if you’re going to a classier joint.

Oh and if you’re gonna be cold, bring a damn jacket or something. He hates hearing a girl complain all night about being cold (providing He doesn’t have a jacket to give). Unless you want He to come warm you up (fine by He), bring something to keep you warm.

Now that we covered what to wear, lets get another thing straight. Blind date, first date, whatever date – You do not shake hands on a first date!!! Welcome to 2009, give a hug and/or a kiss on the cheek. He knows from first hand experience, some girls try to shake hands, give He a break. Unless the guy is foaming from the mouth, or some other clear disorder, you look date-retarded if you don’t give the kiss on the cheek. It’s harmless.

Don’t offer to pay, save your energy. Its a first date, the guy should always pay, and that’s for everything, none of this 50/50 sh*t either. No guy deserves a second date if he lets a girl shell out money on date one.

Best of luck on getting a second date. He isn’t a fan of all the “wait two days” bullsh*t. With bbm and texting and whatever else there is, people talk so much, not talking for 2 days would be weird after a good date. Call her, bbm her, text her, let her know you had a good time. Also doesn’t hurt if the girl sends a little thank you when she gets home: “had a great time, thanks again.”

I adore HE. Period.
