FASHION TIP 101: FOR THE LADIES HOW TO WEAR A PENCIL SKIRT

Anyone can wear a pencil skirt as long as the fit is right. The skirt shouldn’t be too tight, but should skim the hips, butt, and thighs instead. If you’re a skinny woman, then a pencil skirt will give the illusion of a curvier figure. A high-waisted pencil skirt will highlight the hourglass figure of a more ample woman. And just like the pencil skirt is flattering on any body type, it’s also appropriate for almost any occasion.

FATHERLY JUSTICE!!! Dad Kills His OWN SON . . . When He Learned That He Was Molesting His DAUGHTER!!! (Was He RIGHT???)

November 19, 2009. MediaTakeOut.com learned of a sad story today. A Detroit man named Jamar Pinkney is charged with CAPITAL murder for killing his own son.
Here's what happened. Jamar's 15 year old son (Jamar Jr) confessed to his mother that he was molesting his 3 year old half sister (his father's daughter with another woman). Jr's mother immediately called up Jamar Sr and told him what his teenage son was doing. And Jamar Sr flew into a rage.
Here's how the teenage boy's aunt recalls the incident:
“He beat my nephew real bad in the head, where he had knots like he had been in a boxing ring ... [When Cherry tried to intervene, the father pulled out a gun.]"
“I ran down the street to get police down here and I heard a gunshot,"
The elder Jamar apparently beat up his son. Then took him out into a field behind the house and shot him.
As sad as the story sounds, we don't think the dad should go to jail for murder. Maybe manslaughter or something ...
