From Booby-Trapped to Treasured Chest

1. Why breast? Why now?
At the same time, during 1940s when large female breasts were discovered as the most efficient vehicle for promoting merchandize, advertisements agencies started using the image of large size female breasts for selling everything from toothpaste to cars. The wishes of women, who perceived their breasts to be too small, came true with the invention of breast implants.

Now, with the advances of science, medicine, technology and art, the age of breast enhancement is here to stay. Millions of women volunteer to change their breast size and shape with hope to feel sexier, attractive or even just normal, the new normal that is.

2. Shame: The new emotion of our generation
Never before had the emotion shame been self-inflicted on an entire generation of women. Ask a healthy cheer-leader, a mother of three or a post-menopause grandmother: what is one body-part that cost you the most energy, fantasy, grief, pride, pleasure and shame? Well, breasts will often be the first choice, while nose and hair will occupy far second and third choices

Many women now treat their breasts as foreign objects. Our culture is only too happy to play along with their perceptions, frustrations and hopes. All past generations, since the beginning of time, were concerned with women breasts as well. However, size and shape were not on anybodys mind. The true function of female breasts - breast feeding - was the main interest of the human family. Shame for the appearance of ones breasts is cultures invention of the past several decades.

3. Large enough breasts on a size zero female body - the new dilemma
According to women fashion magazines and the entertainment industry; a females body size of zero with large size breasts is the new standard of beauty. This standard is running havoc in the body-image and health of millions of young women. However, as you know, breasts are partially made of fat cells. The logic that follows is that very thin women would not develop large size breasts, right? Well, who needs logic when you can have it all? The combined forces of breast obsession and unhealthy body image have inspired the solution to the dilemma. Now a very thin body with large breast implants is the latest hot look for women of all ages.

4. Looking sexy is not necessarily feeling sexy
Body image is the perceptions/fantasies/wishes and sometime negative feelings we attach to our live body. A woman could walk into a department store, buy all the latest fashions, cosmetics and accessories and be told by an army of sales associates, friends and lovers that she looks great, sexy, attractive and so on. Coming home, removing the make-up and clothes: will those feelings linger? In most cases that I have interviewed, encountered and treated, the looks of the person did not transmit the message to the body: I feel sexy. The gap between feeling ones powers and identity vs. ones looks is widening. The reason for the gap is the barrages of messages around us combined with too little knowledge of our own body.

5. Teens and breast implants; the unseen dangers
Did you hear that the most popular high school graduation gift for girls is breast implants? Well, you have heard the wrong information. The car is back as the gift of choice for the graduates. And breast implants? Dont worry, they did not disappear; they are the imperative gift for the Sweet Sixteen! The danger here is that the process of sexualizing the mind of the young girl is starting before the fully developed body gave the signals: I am ready. This process is irreversible. No therapists, drugs or treatments can give your child back their innocence. Breast implants on a child of sixteen, or anytime before maturity is damaging and permanent.

6. Are men breast obsessed? Are women?
Men are attracted to womens bodies and body-parts for the survival of our species. Some men are attracted to a certain females body part more than other parts. However, in the last couple of decades women took over the lead and fascination with size and shape of females breast as their own interests. These days, breasts and other body-part obsessions and the industries behind them service womens body image needs.

7. Is there a way out from obsession?
Yes. The healing of an obsession is a process that encompasses ones mental health, strength of character, spirituality and more. It will engage your self awareness: are you aware of obsessions/preoccupations interfering with the quality of your life? Breast obsession and body image issues are now a mental health hazard with a lot of painful consequences. In many instances you can see the beginning of the obsessions in boys and girls early on in their teen years. Yes, I did say boys. We teach boys at very young age how mom and dad are fascinated by large breasts Its somewhat like a code we are passing down the generations. Therefore, one of the best ways to deal with the young generations skewed outlook on the human body is to treat it as a family issue. There are powerful results when energy is focused on positive, healthy aliveness rather than the concerns of breast obsessions and body image issues.

Experts are saying that in 2007 the hottest hairstyles are going to be across a range of 4 types.

There is the short business cut. Great role models for this type of cut include Hillary Clinton, Ellen Degeneres, and Barbera Bush. Simple and elegant and professional looking, styles like this take very little maintenance time and tend to be all weather, staying put even on windy days. In 2007, such short hairstyles are getting shorter, punkier and more messy, even to the point of shaved short.

Another hairstyle along these lines is slightly longer on the top, tapering to almost nothing around the back and ears. Due to women's roles in business becoming more serious and prominent, hairstyles are reflecting that. Short, tight, styled hairdos for women are on the increase, not far off men's hairstyles. A kind of shaggy just out the shower look, popularised by celebrities, these hairstyles are longer than the ultra short look mentioned above and tend to be styled to look slightly messy, punk, but still feminine at the same time. Less regular washing of the hair helps keep these hairstyles in shape, as hair retains its natural health better, shining with natural oils and keeping its shape better. Gels and other products are used to style and keep that fresh tousled look.

Next and new to 2007 are long, feminine waves. Not permed looking hair that went out of style in the 80s, but natural looking, as with the short hairstyles above, the secret is not to wash the hair too often, as unwashed hair is easier to manage. There are many products that bring out the natural waves in hair and can be applied to give the wavy long look that is big in 2007. Salt spray is the new stylist favourite for bringing out these sexy waves in long hair. Celebrities such as Jessica Alba and Shakira are wearing their hair this way and it can be dressed up beautifully by adding a simple locket or hair jewels. To get this look in 2007, spray the hair with a little salt water whilst still damp and then scrunch and let the hair dry naturally. Scrunch drying gives the hair volume and variety and the salt spray will bring out a wave in most hair types.

The Side part used to be reserved for men's haircuts. The variation on this in 2007 will see a more rock chick or punk tendency and it is high fashion and a trendy look for this years 2007 hairstyles. Think Twiggy, think punk and you will get the idea. Meg Ryan and Kirsten Dunst are big fans of this hairstyle.

The key to hairstyles in 2007 is simplicity and good styling. A good cut is the best start followed by clever use of hair products. Many variants of these basic 2007 hairstyles will be seen this year and are predicted to remain big for years to come.

Like any investment, your website must start turning a profit as early as possible, and pulling the search engines is a critical component. There are several tools your site can use to get these rankings.

Search-engine optimized text
Fresh content frequently
Links to your site from high-profile websites
Traffic to and from your site

The first two are all about how you put your web site together and subsequently work with it. The last one quality inbound links has nothing at all to do with your site, and if you work it properly, can give you both great rankings and pull in a surprising amount of traffic from sites other than search engines.

Once you start building up your traffic, your search engine ratings will stabilize, and your site will slowly grow. It's a lot like starting a car it takes a lot of energy to get it going, but once it's running it only takes maintenance energy.

Article Submissions Services: Getting Those Inbound Links

Most people don't know where to start with inbound links. Do you just email webmasters and ask? Buy advertising? Or do you offer your own site up as a link farm, encouraging your hard-won customers to visit someone else?

None of these are the best bet (though emailing webmasters, over time, is a good additional strategy). The best way you can get great inbound links is by using an article submission service.

These services use article directories, large online repositories of articles donated by webmasters like you, to build backlinks to your site. Each article you donate contains a resource box that points back to your website, in whatever format you desire. And you can donate the same article to hundreds of article directories.

You can do this yourself. But article submissions services know how to find the best directories, and have specialists who can enter your information in the often-tedious and time-consuming directories forms. It may be a better expenditure of your time to focus on that great content and building your business in other ways, while leaving the submissions to experts who can do it cheaply, efficiently, and properly.

Article submissions services understand the search engines and how they examine links, and can use this knowledge to benefit you. And because you can expect the search engines to change their methodology about every four to six months, with major changes every year and a half to a year, these services will always have the most up-to-date information on the best way to use links to enhance your placement.

While you may be able to build your website ranking yourself, it's often better to seek help from people who have done it for years, at least the first few times you submit a site. Article submission services are your perfect ally when you're chasing search engine rankings.

Appropriate Linking

There are only so many directories you can submit to, of course. Once you have maxed out your directory submissions, you can start looking for webmasters to trade links with. There are a few things you should seek out in this case. Your link partners should be suitable for you, and you should be right for them as well. You should trade up as much as you can; look for pages with good rankings themselves. Don't trade with a competitor; if you sell similar merchandise or if you're both close together using the same keyword phrase, you should trade with someone else.

But link trading only works once your site has been built up in the search engines. Few webmasters are willing to trade links with a low-ranking site (would you?). For the quickest rankings boost, and for a great foundation that you can really start to work from, use mass articles submissions. It will set you apart and above your competition.
