Who's on your laminated list?

A laminated list, sometimes called a freebie list, is a list of 5 celebrities that your significant other must let you sleep with them if the unbelievable opportunity ever arises. I would never be able to commit to laminating my list since the fifth spot is more of the current crush of the moment. The Top 3 are set in stone for this gal and since I am single I guess I always have a open pass.... Does anyone know where I can hook-up with Leo? 

1) Leo DiCaprio - I have loved him since 'Growing Pains'. Back then he was such a cutie and now he is just so damn hot, if I got the opportunity I would make him reenact the love scene from the Departed with me...HOT!!!!

I know this clip is not in english but who cares what they are talking about...

2) Anthony Keidis - I love dirty rock stars and if I had to pick just one, he is it hands down. I love the hair, the tattoo's, his lips and his dirty hotness.

3) Georges St. Pierre - This man is just signifies everything manly about a man. His bod is smokin, he has a sense of humor,and he is 'The Ulitimate Fighter' god can a man get any hotter.

 4) Wentworth Miller - I love tall skinny dudes (hence my love for dirty Rock Stars), and he has the Rock God look without the dirtyness. 

5) Mark Wahlburg - I think this pic says it all.

 Who's on your list?


Cheers!

How old is he? And why is he single?...

Over the last 4 years of singledom  I have received many comments regarding my dating life or lack thereof. One thing I do find is that relationship people forget what it’s like to be single; especially those that have not been single in the last 5 years. Relationship people will say off handed things like “How old is your date? Really so what’s his problem?” this translates back as “So you have met someone your age that is also single, there must be something wrong with him!” It’s the same with married people who’ve had kids, saying to the couple that’s been trying for 5 years, “so when are you having kids, or do you want them?” Or saying “ I can’t imagine having kids at 35 – 40 plus”, to the 37 year old Single Gal who has wanted kids but it looks like that may not be in the cards for her. Whether you realized it or not you have just passed a judgement.

That’s the funny thing about words; just floating out there on their own they don’t mean much, but put them together you have power to inspire, inform, or hurt. Words are very powerful together, but I don’t think people realize what responsibility that power brings. We can all learn to choose our words wisely. If someone is single, never assume they have issues or something is wrong with them; face it there is something wrong with all of us if we were to look for it. If the married couple does not have children don’t assume they never tried or wanted any. Or don’t assume that because a Gal is single she has chosen that because she just wants to party. If you are happy with your life be happy but do not assume that because someone else with a different lifestyle is not happy. Our life is our own; it’s not for others to pass judgements or assumptions on. What we should do is watch what we say, never complain about those 10 pounds you think you need to lose to someone that has been struggling with their weight all their life.  Never say I hate my job to someone who is unemployed. Never say ‘I bet your ex has found another idiot to date”, to the Gal who was smart enough to get out of that bad relationship. You get what I am saying, just take a moment and think about what you are going to say before you say it because once those words leave your mouth the damage has been done.

I know I have said things that may have hurt someone without meaning to because I spoke before I thought about what I was saying. I am positive that my former boss did not appreciate it when I told her “That would be a great place for you to find a date” in regards to her volunteering at the men’s homeless shelter. 

Let your words be words of kindness.

Cheers!

No Glove ...No Love

Is it just me or have has society deemed it acceptable to have no glove lovin? It seems that more and more guys out there want to have unprotected sex. Is it because we hardly hear about AIDS any more, or the dangers of STD’s. Dudes today are all up in the advancements of technology but they have digressed to the free loving ways of the 80’s. They whine that it reduces the pleasure, no shit Sherlock but a little pleasure reduction is better than a lifetime of crotch rot! 

I had one misrepresentation say “I don’t use condoms because there are none big enough to fit me”....Really!? Well my interest was piqued, can you blame me. Here was this stocky dude, telling me that he was bigger than rock god Tommy Lee (admit it you have seen the video), I’m sure even Tommy has worn the occasional condom....right?

Curiosity was killing me so I stuck my hand down his pants, and kept reaching and feeling around, it took a few minutes and I finally found his balls however last time I checked you don’t put a condom on your balls...Oh wait I finally found the little guy, oh my aren’t you a wee little thing. He was right, a condom would not fit!!!

I’m not sure when this shift in sexual recklessness happened; but it is happening all the time to me and my single girlfriends. Do we need another sexual epidemic to scare people again? I believe in safe sex; ladies you can have as much sex as you want and with whomever you want just be smart about it. 

Just because the stats on STD’s have gone down does not mean that they are not an issue. The stats have declined because people have been practicing safe sex. So beware of the smooth talker who uses such lines as:

“I’m clean, and you look clean”

“I’m not worried; you seem like a nice girl”

“You’re so hot I want to get the full experience”

“There are no condoms big enough”

Have you encountered this? What lines have guys used on you?

Positive Changes

Hey Ladies, guess who is newly employed???? It’s me, Queen B and I’m happy to report that I will once again be in the land of the working. If you’ve read my previous posts you know that I was laid off in early December and I wrote that I was giving myself until March to find something and was looking at the positive’s rather than the negative’s. Well maybe my attitude and dedication to finding something new paid off because I have accepted a position that not only challenges me but will provide me with the opportunity to refine skills and learn new things.

As I mentioned before I think things happen for a reason and I also feel that you have to contribute to the changes you want out of life. What I mean by this is that you have to make things happen for yourself and set targets that you can aim for. I can’t tell you how many jobs I applied for and how many interviews I have been on but I changed my attitude and decided that if something didn’t work out it just wasn’t meant to be and to not dwell on the bad but to focus on the good. (I know easier said then done).

What are the top things I have learned from being off work for the past 6 weeks.
1. Be kind to yourself and don’t stress about the things you can’t change.
2. If you have a bad day don’t let it ruin others.
3. Apply for any job even if you don’t meet all the requirements, if you make it to the interview and you wow them with how fantastic you are, they will let it slide.
4. Be assertive and ensure that you are being treated fairly. If you don’t think you are then consult with a lawyer and/or others to make sure you’re getting what you deserve.
5. Last but not least your family and friends are always there for you and will support you through the good times and the bad times.

You may be asking did the energy healer have anything to do with this new outlook and outcome? Who knows but as I said, he made me feel like a million bucks and if that helped me get a new job then well done.

Hello Biatches,

"I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I can say: It is to wage war”...(Winston Churchill)

Yes Ladies we are going to wage war! War against technology! War against online dating! Most of all war against Pussies...you know the men that have no balls or back bone! I have told Hopeful, that the Single Gals Team, while quite bitchin’ are just too Fuckin’ nice!

Don’t get me wrong I love men. I love sex and rock n roll. While on the topic of sex, what’s your favourite song to do it to?

Black leather boots, glass of red wine, and Closer by NIN playing in the background makes for a great night in! Be warned if your performance is not up to par, I’ll bite your head off and bury you in my underground cellar with all the other useless misrepresentations of the male species.

Happy Hunting Ladies!

Golden Globes

Being the fashion junkie that I am, I love the key awards shows one being the Golden Globes the other being the Oscars. Of course I like knowing if the movies/tv shows etc…that I love are there but my true desire is to see what people are wearing and what we will be seeing in toned down versions in real life. The Globes did not disappoint and it seems most people stepped it up this year.

The colour trends were diverse, think black, nude, greens and red and the styles went from over the top to sleek and stylish. Some of my favourites included Mila Kunis, January Jones, Sophia Vergara and Olivia Wilde. Some of my not so favourites included Halle Berry, Scarlett Johansson and Sandra Bullock. Some people may include Helena Bonham Carter on this list, but she’s quirky and if you’re expecting cookie cutter from her you’re living in a different world.

As for the men the black tie and suits were fine and some of my favourites included Jon Hamm, Mark Wahlberg, Johnny Depp (just because he’s so cool) and Christian Bale because he’s British and his speech was fantastic. As for the men I didn't like well since they are wearing suits nobody did anything that made me think what the f*ck was he thinking so I'll say they all pass.

I love the colour black and I’m so glad it was presented in full force as to me it’s always the go to shade. With that said seeing all the green and red on the carpet has now got me thinking that I need to get out there and shop. It’s really not a bad idea considering the spring trends are showing vibrant shades in all hues. After this winter we may need a little colour in our lives so think flashy and long.

Energy Healing

I realized I never updated you on my experience with the Shamanic energy healer. Well it is unlike any experience I have ever had and to be honest it’s too hard for me to explain because 1. If you don’t already think I’m nuts you will think I’ve gone over the edge and 2. It’s something words can’t describe. I hate to have to say it but you really do need to experience it to truly understand what happened to me.

I understand that to some of you I may have already lost it by going to see someone like this but truly I figure if it doesn’t hurt you or anyone else you should do whatever you need to deal/understand/cope with things. To clarify I didn’t go to the healer to find a man, I went because my life both personally and professionally was at a standstill. Considering I have done other forms of therapy both traditional and alternative I thought why not try seeing an energy healer? Well I can say of all forms of ‘therapy’ I have done this experience was very freaky/weird/out of this world. According to the healer the type of feeling I had doesn’t normally happen in the 1st visit but the way I felt was unlike any other feeling I have ever had and trust me I have been on trips before (I’ll leave it up to you to decipher the types of trips I am talking about).

So did it work you’re asking? Really I had no idea what to expect or what I wanted afterwards but what I do know is that things have changed in my life and for the better. Did the healing play into it? I’m really not sure but does it matter because I feel lighter and happier and that is all that really counts. I’m not going to concern myself with what any one part means I’ll leave that to a higher power but what I do know is that if anything psychologically I am in a better place and as the healer said to me I need to learn to love myself more (get your mind out of the gutter!!! LOL) which is what I keep reminding myself.

She Shoots .....She Scores!!!

I think we should all set goals for ourselves. One reason being if you have goals in place it will help you get over the hurt to the ego when you discover that "He was just not that into you". Also goals keep you focused that your life is more than being single, that you have ambitions and dreams. I have set goals in one form or another my whole life, and it is true what they say if you write them down you are taking your first step to putting those goals into action.

Last year I found this very cool goal setting tool on the Lululemon website. You fill in your short and long term goals with a date you expect to achieve them by and when it gets close to that date you get a goal reminder sent to you.  I just received such a reminder and my goal was to have taught my first spin class by end of January. It is now January 11 and I am nowhere near being close to achieving that goal. I mean I have my certification but I am not prepared for that first class just yet. I have reset the date for the end of March, by than I will be done school and back from my vacation. I plan to put a killer class together so that my first time out I feel confident I will teach the spin class that I have dreamed of teaching for the last two years.

Here it the link to the lululemon goaltender http://goals.lululemon.com/Default.aspx?timeout=true

I highly recommend that you give it a try and set your goals..Hey even if you don't achieve them it could be fun to get that 5 year goal reminder that you were going to stalk Johnny Depp and have him tired up in your basement by July 2014... Even better if it comes true!!

Good luck with all your goals!!

Cheers!

Are you interested in a three way?

On Saturday Single Chick and I hit the town. We went to one of our favourite watering holes in downtown TO.  We were hanging by the bar when this very drunk dude after making several attempts to hit on us finally he comes straight out and says “I don’t do this often but are you guys interested in the three way?”  NO!!  Then he shoves 5 dollars at us and tells us to buy a drink on him.  We tell him to keep his money; PLEASE $5 dollars can’t even buy you a beer in downtown TO.  He responds “what if I shove it down your bustier" (btw I was not wearing a bustier but a tank top) I tell him politely that if he touches me he will get punched in the face, he left shortly after that. 

This did get us talking about the infamous threesome, we both decided the neither of us want to share a man or have our bits and pieces touch. I’m selfish I want it to be all about me! However I could be persuaded if I were sandwiched between these two hotties. Who am I kidding I don't have that kind of self confidence!

We did agree that if Colin Farrell had approached us for a threesome we probably participate but there would need to be lots of booze and we probably need to drop some E to make that happen. 

Would participate in a threesome? Or are you more like us and just like to pretend you could if it involved Leo DeCaprio and Brad Pitt?

Cheers!

Message Sent, Message Recevied!

Recently my boss was complaining about his 15 year old son’s phone bill. It seems his son has sent over 5500 text messages last month. 5500 WTF?! As it turns out this is the norm among teens, his son is just your typical teen after all. I feel it is so sad for kids today, they will never know what it’s like to be excited about anything because they live in an age of instant gratification. Everything is literally at your finger tips, whatever you need to know or do can be done on your phone. We can pay our bills, shop, check e-mails, and can message anyone at any time.  

This generation will never know what it’s like to meet someone; give them your number then have to wait until they call you. It was SO exciting to get that message from my mom that ‘Rock God #3’ had called. Then I’d have to call ‘Rock God #3’ back all nervous and stuff, we’d chat then meet up and probably end up dating for a few months or years depending on the rock god. It was slow but exciting process to get to know someone, you’d have to call and chat, and since we did not have cell phones it was all timing. I miss getting home from school/work and having my mom say “that boy called AGAIN!” 

 Now it’s send text message, instant response, if the response is not instant, panic, take it as rejection move on to the next.  A girl not only has other girls to compete with but has to compete with the internet and its countless dating sites. It takes away the slow process of getting to know someone because there is so much variety at your fingertips that if you are not getting instant gratification you can easily move on to the next. 

What’s an old school girl to do? I think we just have to go with the times; after all it is survival of the fittest out there. However tread lightly if you are not text savvy. Be careful if you are texting various friends along with a potential hook up at the same time, make sure you look at who you are responding to. You may accidentally tell the future hook up “I love you man” which was meant for your drunken BFF who had sent you the same message.  Needless to say that potential Hook Up will never happen.

Cheers!

Empowering girls one movement at time...

To all our Single Gal followers,

I am the Volunteer Coordinator for Girl’s on the Run whose mission it is "to educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living." We need volunteers for our big “It’s Cool to be Me 5K Race” on Saturday June 11, 2011 at Downsview Park. The event will run from 8:30am – 12:00pm; we will need volunteers to help direct parking, work the water stations, cheer the girls on and for various other duties.

I know this is early notice but being Single Gals our calendars fill up quickly. If you have not committed to anything on the morning of Saturday June 11, 2011 and live in the Greater Toronto Area we would love to have your support. Our goal is to have at least 100 volunteers to help out on that day.

To all my male followers and I know you’re out there (a.k.a. my brothers friends) we do need male volunteers to help with set up of tents and the stage for that day, no pressure but I know I have dirt on all of you. To my married gals bring your hubbies along and make it a family event. To my Single Gals maybe this can be a first date for you, just think how great that guy would be who is willing to help with your volunteer efforts .

If you’re interested e-mail me at hopefulinto@single-gals.com and I will send you a volunteer registration form.

I hope to see you there.

Cheers!

You're Glowing...

Today I was told that my skin looks great, my face is glowing...What are you doing differently? Is it a new cream? Fess up tell me your secret...I was flattered and a bit flabbergasted for I’ve done nothing different, and said so. I’m not sure that I was believed so I got to thinking what would prompt this glowing change. Was is the fact that I was wearing my BIG puffy jacket that’s fit for -30 degrees when it was only 0 degrees outside therefore causing me to be overheated and flushed? Was it the copious amount of chocolate blueberries that I have been eating; giving me a double dose of antioxidants?

Then it dawns on me, it water! As I go fill up my water jug for the fourth time, I realize this is what I am doing differently. In the summer getting 3 -4 litres of water a day is easy. My water consumption was drastically decreased due to the holidays which consisted of beers; red wine and the occasional shooter (don’t judge me). Now that we have entered the New Year and the festivities have come to a halt I am back to my old routine of gym and healthier habits. Therefore in the last couple of days I’ve been eating more fruits and veggies rather than chocolates, street meat and booze (once again don’t judge me). The biggest change is my water consumption, after three days of 3-4 litres a day my skin is glowing. Ladies I know that drinking 3 litres of water is harder to do in winter, but you can also get water from your fruits, veggies, and herbal teas (try to stick with caffeine free since caffeine is a diuretic).

I’ve said it before but I do believe that water is the fountain of youth, so drink up! Save yourself the money on expensive skin creams, just drink 3-4 litres of water a day and I guarantee someone will ask you what your secret is.

Cheers!
