Dear Guru,
I am 16 and have a really (really) small chest. I know that everyone says that "true beauty is on the inside" but I want them bigger. Is there a certain bra or something that can help my dreams come true - without getting turned into a plastic Barbie? Or at least look real in a bikini? Spring break is on the way and I don't want to look fake or worry about stuffing falling out in the pool. :( please help.

Signed,
too, too, too little

Dear Littlest Angel,
Now, now. Small is good. More than a champagne glass is a waste. Windsurf topless. Run on the beach with no bra. Whooo-hoo!

How you feel about your own décolleté duo has everything to do with how they face the world. Learn to love them no matter how many Giselle Bundchen billboards you've seen over the holidays - and for this they will love you back. Did you see the Thomas Crown Affair? Rent it and check out the (very beautiful) Rene Russo's topless beach scene and set yourself straight.

You're smart in staying away from implants. Beyond the ick factor - they can cause foreign object related medical complications later on.

In the meantime try Cosmetic Enhancers, often touted as "bouncing like the real thing", and check out the push-up bra scene. No one will know but you. While you're in that pool - swim! The resistance achieved from a simple crawl stoke does wonders for tightening the pectoral muscles, thus lifting everything else upwards. Last but not least, fake your very own cleavage line with some medium brown eye-shadow or foundation a few shades darker than your own skin for effect. It's all in the blending.

Last but not least, mind over matter mind over matter with "do-it-yourself" hypnotherapy has its perks. 100% natural and relatively inexpensive (when compared to costly and painful surgical procedures), physical re-programming is offered by companies like Mind Quest through supportive, empowering audio tapes. Based on the premise that body image starts in our heads, we are able to alter our current states through positive thought.
Good Luck!

Hey Guru!
What's going on? I really like ur site - so i'm getting into the habit of asking u fashion ? k? kewl. newayz there's this dance coming up. I wanna look good but not all dressy. skirts r ok but i like khakis or jeans better. what do u think?
*jewels*

Miss Jewels Dance Queen,
Khakis and jeans are way easier to bust a move in than skirts. Make sure you wear hardcore dancing shoes too! Wear either with a groovy (rhinestone) belt - and focus on drawing attention to your gorgeous face and hair. Add bling to a skinny-shouldered top with a blinky rhinestone pin or add some studded cuff bracelets to your ensemble. You want to exude: "I am the freshest dancer in the room", instead of "My skirt sucks and my feet hurt" like mad!
xo! - Have a blast!
