Texting: To Kiss Or Not To Kiss…? July 27, 2009

Posted by Ruth in : Ruth's Ramblings , add a comment

It has come to our attention at FemaleFirst HQ that many of you are confused as to how many kisses you should put on a text / email to a certain person… but now I think it’s time to end all this bewilderment.

Personally I put kisses on everything, texts and emails, even if it’s to someone I don’t know or have just been working on an article with, primarily because I think it makes it sound nicer, but our wonderful I.T guy seems to think that you should only put kisses if you would actually kiss them…

Now, do you reckon this is just because he’s a bloke and he doesn’t understand how us lady folk read into kisses as carrying subliminal messages, or do you think we’re just be hyper-sensitive about the whole shebang?

So, after a poll, or actually me just telling everyone what I think, here are what we reckon your boy shape or lady friend is trying to tell you via SMS….

0 Kiss – Oh dear, you’ve really pissed someone off now, no kisses clearly means you’re on a red card.

1 Kiss – Okay, so you’re not in as much trouble as you could be, but the SMS sender clearly has no desire to be in your company at the moment.

2 Kisses – Two kisses is a good balance, it’s the amount you put to your friends or someone when you’re complacent and everything is as it should be.

3 Kisses – Usually when a foxy boy shape is concerned, three kisses come out to send a message of; ‘Yes I’m interested in you, send three kisses back or you’ll break my heart’

4 or more kisses – Woo, kissing frenzy! I hope you popped some extra fresh mint in because the person who sent you this clearly wants these kisses to be turned into reality.

Do you agree? Care and share with me…

Michael Jackson: Still Alive or Dead for Years? July 27, 2009

Michael Jackson may actually still be alive- well that’s my conspiracy theory and here’s why….

After watching the footage from the press conference to announce his 02 gigs in London several times over the last few weeks, I really don’t think it was him at all!

There’s something about the way Michael looks and more importantly his mannerisms that doesn’t seem quite right. I don’t profess to be an MJ expert but I have watched interviews of him on TV several times and he usually comes accross shy and timid. However there is something arrogant and swagger-like about his movements and gestures at the 02, which I have never noticed about Michael before.

It sounds ridiculous, I know, but just watch the video below and make up your own mind……..

Do you see? Or am I just going mad?

Anyway, my theory is that either one of two things happened to Michael……. 1.) He died a while ago and the o2 gigs were never actually going to happen anyway. 2.) The King of Pop is still alive and just wanted to live a life of privacy on a remote island somewhere he will never be found. Obviously this is all speculation and I would like to point out that it is no way based on fact, just personal opinion….so don’t send the lawyers knocking!

With Jim Carrey in the lead role A Christmas Carol brought some festive cheer to the Cannes Film Festival last night as the south of France welcomed Christmas early.

An animated retelling of Charles Dickens classic novel about a Victorian-era miser taken on a journey of self-redemption, courtesy of several mysterious Christmas apparitions.

Jim Carrey plays four separate roles in this updated version of A Christmas Carol. Carrey portrays Scrooge, as well as the three ghosts (Past, Present, and Yet-to-Come).

The movie will reach screen in November but take a look at the poster and first image from the film.

Kat Von D has made tattoos one of the most sought after accessories for any woman wanting to bag herself a rock star boyshape during her time on LA Ink, but is it essential these days for rock stars to be inked?

Our song of the week today comes courtesy of our celebrity best mates in The Blackout for FINALLY getting some decent music played on Radio One. So do yourself a favour, and get this song Downloaded right now… it’s what all the cool kids are doing.

We’ve given you Fightstar, Madina Lake and Steve Appleton, and now it’s the turn of mega-foxy Ben’s Brother to take over FemaleFirst for the day. Heading into our office on Friday, the lovely Jamie Hartman from Ben’s Brother will be the next musician to reign control over my beautiful little music section and try his hand as a music journalist.

We proved Female First are hot on the heels of celebrity fashion once again after Agyness Deyn was spotted shopping in our fave shop in Manchester. Aggy popped into Me & Yu during a recent shopping trip to the city just days before the label featured in our Band Wars fashion show.
