Halloween Outfits for Females

• Red Riding Hood – The original Red Riding Hood was a young girl in a red cloak, but there are a number of variations available on the Internet for more sexually mature women. They still show off the bright red cape and hood, but they also display plenty of leg, as well. If you’re going to the party with a date, encourage them to dress as the Big Bad Wolf.
• Beer Garden Girl – Men will think they’ve died and gone to Heaven when they see this costume that shows off an ample amount of legs and cleavage. If you really want to send them over the edge, offer to serve them beer.
• Sexy Swashbuckler – Men and women love Jack Sparrow, but guys will be especially drawn to this sexy costume that’s obviously inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
• Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader – When it comes to NFL cheerleaders, nobody can hold a candle to the squad representing the Dallas Cowboys. Maybe it’s the boots, or maybe it’s the low-cut top. Either way, this costume is bound to be a hit at your next Halloween party.
• Sexy Snow White – Snow White was pretty hot in a perverse kind of way, but I’ve seen a number of Halloween outfits for females that take it to a whole new level. Just looking at the pictures online makes me want to be a dwarf.
• French Maid – When it comes to male fantasies, the French maid outfit still ranks high. Make sure to carry a feather duster to round out the look.
• Catwoman – My favorite variation of this costume is a more modern update of the sexy cat burglar from the Batman series. Goggles are included, as well as a skin-tight latex jumpsuit. Women with the proper build will turn a lot of heads in this one.
• Cher – A number of Sonny and Cher costume ideas can be found online. The most common depicts the pop diva from back in the hippy-trippy days of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. Women who are especially daring might prefer to dress like Cher from the 1980s, back when she showed off her butt while frolicking on battleships with hoards of sailors.
• Marilyn Monroe – Still the greatest sex symbol of all time, Marilyn Monroe continues to thrill men and women alike with her blonde elegance. The most traditional version of this costume is the famous white dress found in the classic scene from The Seven Year Itch.
• Flashdance – If you want to dance like you’ve never danced before, try slipping on this movie-inspired costume featuring leg warmers and an oversized t-shirt. A welder’s helmet is not included.

The next time you attend a Halloween costume party, wearing one of these outfits is sure to cause jaws to drop. Then again, that’s kind of the whole point, isn’t it?

Films with Severed Limbs and Possessed Hands

• Evil Dead 2 (1987) – Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi resurrect their franchise about a big-chinned hero battling the forces of evil at an isolated cabin. When these dark forces possess his hand, he’s left with no choice but to amputate it with a chainsaw while laughing maniacally. Of course, that doesn’t stop the hand.
• The Hand (1981) – Before he was getting nominated for Oscars, director Oliver Stone made this horror flick starring Michael Caine as a cartoonist who loses his hand in a car accident. But he keeps dreaming about the lost appendage, and soon he’s certain that the hand is still out there committing murder.
• Idle Hands (1990) – Devon Sawa is a stoner whose hand becomes possessed by evil and causes him to kill those around him. Jessica Alba is the girl-next-door, while Vivica A. Fox is a druid. It’s mostly played for laughs, by the way.
• Dr. Strangelove (1964) – Stanley Kubrick’s anti-war film is a black comedy masterpiece, largely thanks to the trio of performances turned in by Peter Sellers. One of these is Dr. Strangelove, an ex-Nazi who now works for the U.S. government and seems to have little control over his gloved right hand.
• Body Parts (1991) – Jeff Fahey is a criminal psychologist who loses his arm and gets a replacement courtesy of a serial killer. You just know that’s going to be trouble.
• Quicksilver Highway (1997) – Features horror stories written by Stephen King and Clive Barker. In the latter, a man finds that his hands are planning to rebel against him.
• The Addams Family (1991) – It wouldn’t be a proper big-screen adaptation without the presence of Thing, the severed hand who lives with Gomez and Morticia.
• Mad Love (1935) – Peter Lorre is a surgeon obsessed with a beautiful–and married–woman. When her pianist husband’s hands are crushed in an accident, she turns to the good doctor for help…with disastrous results.

The next time you rub Palmolive on your hands, think about how lucky you are not to have a serial killer’s body parts attached to you. It’s little thoughts like this that keep me going throughout the day.

One of the most common tests conducted among women who are trying to conceive or those who are pregnant is checking for progesterone levels during pregnancy. Most fertility doctors opine that pregnant women above the age of 40 years or those who have conceived via a fertility treatment and those who have a history of miscarriages are ideal candidates for repeatedly checking progesterone levels during pregnancy.

This is because progesterone levels in the body of a woman and her chances of conceiving successfully are directly proportional to each other. Progesterone is the main reproductive hormone that plays an important role in pregnancy, starting from ensuring the creation of a health female egg to the implantation of the fertilized egg in the uterine tissue. Thus, in the lack of progesterone, there is an increased risk of a failed pregnancy or miscarriage. Today, most fertility centers follow a range that is looked upon as ‘normal progesterone levels during pregnancy’.

The following values are an approximation of the same:

• Normal progesterone levels during 1st trimester: 9 — 47ng/ml
• Normal progesterone levels during 2nd trimester: 17 — 147ng/ml
• Normal progesterone levels during 3rd trimester: 55 — 200ng/ml

Please Note: these are merely indicative values and the final decision in terms of recommending a progesterone cream is taken by experienced fertility healthcare specialists only.

Among women, disturbances in FSH levels just like surge in FSH concentration as menopause methods or with the onset of menopause can lead to infertility or a reduced potential to sustain pregnancy. It has been established that the inability of women to conceive upon the onset of menopause is essentially as a result of the essential rise during the FSH levels. That is why women who are more than the age of 35 or people who have a history of menstrual issues are suggested regular FSH tests as being a part of their annual well being exams. This tests helps to establish the onset of rise in FSH levels. FSH tests involves saliva, urine or blood testing.

However, this doesn’t mean that increased FSH levels are usually the problem. Sometimes, FSH supplements are suggested to people who are suffering from an FSH deficiency. This includes natural FSH supplements like blue-green algae or nutritional supplements that are fortified with issues like wheatgrass and coenzyme Q-10.

If you don’t have a credit card and you need to rent a car, you may be in for a surprise. These days, renting a car without a credit card means undergoing a credit check. All major car rental companies now have a policy that says that any customer renting a car without a credit card must pass a credit check. This is to protect their investment–customers without credit cards tend to be customers without credit who may not be able to pay damages should they get in an accident with a rental car.

It is possible to rent a car without a credit check, even if you don’t pay with a credit card, but it isn’t easy. Renting a car isn’t like walking up to your 7-11′s free bill pay counter and paying $1 to keep your lights turned on–renting a car means taking temporary possession of someone else’s valuable property. That’s why customers who rent cars must be credit worthy.

Part of learning how to rent a car is learning how to play the car rental game. Even if a rental agency’s policy is to run credit checks on all cash or debit card customers, you may be able to find a local agent who isn’t too strict about this policy. A smile and a good attitude may be enough to convince your local car rental agency to overlook their credit check rule “just this once.”

You could also try some of the less popular car rental agencies, like Rent-A-Wreck, that have relaxed policies when it comes to things like credit checks and debit card holds. A stack of cash left as a deposit may also convince a car rental agent to forgive you the credit check.

Remember to stress to the car rental agent that you don’t want your credit to be negatively effected by another credit inquiry. He’ll probably be sympathetic, and may even let you rent the car without a credit check just for your honesty.
