Your Dog’s Love For You And Its Nose Knows No Bounds

During the pandemic I discovered I love working with two dogs at my feet. As someone who studies dog cognition, I often wonder: What is Charlie learning when he stops to sniff the crisp fall air? What is Cleo thinking when she stares at me while I write? Are my dogs happy? I’m not alone in finding myself suddenly spending more time with my pups and contemplating what’s on their minds. More people in the U.S. are working from home now than are working in the workplace, and many now share home offices with their canine companions. What’s more, many are finding their lives enriched with the addition of a new pet, as people started adopting dogs at massive rates during. This uptick in dog time means I have been fielding questions from new and experienced dog owners alike about their compani...

True History Of Tarot – Are You Sure You Want To Know

Ten Things You Didn't Want to Know About Tarot Do you like Tarot because of its aura of mystery, for its esoteric history, or because of its magical qualities? If you think Tarot is special because of one of those reasons then you are not going like what I have to say in this article. I'm going to be looking at the true history of Tarot, and my research on this has brought me to conclusions which are different to what most of you will have read online, and they are perhaps different to what you want to believe are the facts behind Tarot. I have enjoyed using Tarot cards for over 25 years, and I love Tarot symbology and Tarot divination, but I do not like it when unenlightened people create a fictitious romantic/mystical history for these cards. I've put together the top ten pieces ...

Giorgio Armani Perfected Dressing Hollywood Stars To Make Fashion Accessible To All

How Giorgio Armani Mastered The Art Of Outfitting Hollywood Stars To Sell Clothes To The Masses The death of Giorgio Armani marks the passing of one of Italy’s most influential fashion designers. As someone who studies the intersection of fashion, media and entertainment, I think one of the designer’s most impressive feats is how he harnessed Hollywood to extend the global reach of his brand. Born in Piacenza in 1934, Armani abandoned medical school in 1954 to work at Milan’s La Rinascente department store. There, he developed a passion for fabrics and first learned about fashion licensing, a business strategy that allowed brands to sell luxury designs at affordable prices to middle-class customers. Observing how the licensed lines of fashion designer Pierre Cardin retailed at La Rin...

The Worst Fashion Combinations

We have all had a look through the photo albums and often wondered what on earth we were thinking when we decided that floral jumper looked great with the leopard print leggings. Interestingly money doesn't buy you style and it's often celebrities that end up putting together some of the worst fashion combinations. Here are a few pointers to help you know what to avoid. Just because it's hot on the catwalk doesn't mean it's going to look good on you, remember many fashion designers about push boundaries and concept design. Don't mix denim with denim, it didn't look good in the 80's and it won't look good now, look to combine denim skirts, jeans and jackets with other solid colors and if you have to wear darker denim washes, you don't want to look like you are wearing a denim suit. Don...

Star Sign Compatibility

The Secrets of Star Sign Compatibility. For a long time I had on my website detailed descriptions of the compatibilities between the twelve star signs. I even gave them star ratings. The relationship between Aquarius and Cancer got one star, between Aries and Capricorn three stars and between Virgo and Capricorn five. Looking at the traffic to my website, it was clear that most of my visitors wanted to know about their love life, and in particular their compatibility with their real or hoped-for partners. While I was grateful for this traffic, it seemed out of balance and didn't reflect what I wanted to concentrate on. I therefore changed the website, and took down all the pages about star signs and compatibility. Nonetheless it's important to get stars signs in perspective....

Love In The Age Of Dating Apps: Are We More Connected Or Just Swiping?

Dating has officially entered the digital age, where finding “the one” can be as simple as downloading an app, creating a profile, and deciding whether someone’s photo with a dog is adorable or suspiciously strategic. Dating apps have transformed romance. With a swipe, users can meet people they might never encounter in everyday life. Suddenly, your potential dating pool isn't limited to coworkers, friends of friends, or the person who keeps making eye contact with you at the coffee shop. There are thousands of possibilities right at your fingertips. That sounds fantastic—until you realize you have to actually choose someone. The biggest advantage of dating apps is convenience. You can meet people based on interests, location, lifestyle, or even highly specific preferences. For bu...

Cougar – What’s In A Name?

I used to hate the term "Cougar" for all the obvious reasons. First, it evoked images of Mrs. Robinson in a girdle and garters, smoke billowing around her alcoholic head as she seduced a vulnerable (but willing) Benjamin. Flash forward to leopard clad women over 40 showing way too much cleavage, voguing in 4 inch stilettos, hanging out at bars, guzzling wine and dragging home young prey. Every time the media interviewed me, I cringed, knowing the obvious questions would be asked: "Isn't this just about sex?" "Isn't this just about money?" I endeavored to explain to them that in my 20 years of research as a human behavior research psychologist and world's foremost authority on cross generational dating and psychosexual imprinting (translation: Cougar and Cub dating) that they had it all wro...

The Cultural Obsession With Six-Pack Abdominals

The cultural obsession with six-pack abdominals shows no signs of abating. And if research into male body image is to be believed, it will likely only grow, thanks to social media. Today, there’s an entire industry centered on obtaining – and maintaining – chiseled abs. They’re the subject of books and social media posts, while every action movie star seems to sport them. Pressure is also mounting on women to sport six-pack abs as body ideals for athletic women have evolved. All of this raises the question, when did the six-pack craze start? It may seem like a relatively recent phenomenon, a byproduct of the fitness culture boom in the 1970s and 1980s, when Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rambo reigned, and men’s muscle mags and aerobics took off. History proves otherwise. In fact, Western c...
