Italian model to sell virginity...
Babe's Bible: An Italian model who's Catholic and swears she has never had sex plans to sell her virginity for one million euros, or £792,000. Holly Rae Smith wonders what a girl's take on this might be. Is it time to adopt a buffalo stance?
Oh no - it's a quarter-life crisis!
Babe's Bible: "I need you to write about sex, about making it better, you know, for women". That, says our advice columnist Char, is an example of a typical lad's mag brief which I'd normally happily get working on, full of feature ideas even better than the aforementioned. I'd get myself comfortable then sit down, coffee steaming, classical music playing, packet of cigarettes next to me - half of them smoked - and get to work. So what's changed?
Sexy cyclist?
Babe's Bible: Why get a bike? It's toning. It's cheaper. It's exhilerating. Even the hills and sweat patches. Even the "Cor blimey, I've never seen that before... a woman's arse" comments from white van men won't put you off. Rebecca does the right thing and buys a bike (and gives you some cycling tips while she's at it). London's Mayor would approve! Just don't look at her sweat patches. Or her arse.
Alex Zane: How to make friends and influence people
Babe's Bible: There is no finer way to make an impression on your celebrity crush than to peak and crash on a sugar-high, seranade them with a poor rendition of the Beastie Boys then ask them out with the retro usage of a post-it note. Zoe-Ann Harris lives the dream.
The perils of being a sexual health princess
Opinion: It's Kate Morrison's personal belief that some nurses who carry out STI checks are just jealous of younger girls having sex. It's the only reason she can come up with for their attitude...
Living separately - the new paradigm
Opinion: Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton have been going out for years, and live in houses next door to each other - because she can't stand gothic interior decoration, and he can't stand the chintz. 'The new paradigm' is being in a loving trusting relationship but living separately. Angela Lestat weighs up the pros and cons of a way of going out with someone where you have to explain to people without sounding silly that you're 'living in the new paradigm'.
Cheating - Is it worth it?
Opinion: There is no doubt - we are ladies, irresistible, intelligent, worth dying for and we can do anything... right? Life is the most wonderful thing there is, and it gives us the chance to thrive and... fuck up. It puts us in the most unexpected situations, and what we decide do with those situations - the few minutes (or even less) that we take to think - can determine how we will think of ourselves for a heck of a long time.
The Modern Caveman - why men really are from Mars
Opinion: The next time you spill your saddened, overburdened PMT heart to a man and wonder why he's so non-understanding and brisk about it, be kind. When he has a problem, he hides in a cave and ponders... scratch a modern guy and, in a historical not a catty sense, you'll find a caveman. Read on.
Abandoned in KoKo
Opinion: Zoe has the ignominous experience of getting trashed in KoKo with two men she 'knows' (has met once before) and then being sneakily/drunkenly abandoned. Boooo! Hiss! Bad men! Bad!
How to survive the party from hell
Opinion: What do you do when your best mate invites you to a terrible party that has Jamelia on loop, you watch aghast as she sticks her tongue down the nearest boychild, then your ex turns up? Lola Ross has the answer.
Single in Soho
Babe's Bible Blog: London is meant to be the vibrant city of swinging sauce and glamour (or at least brutal punishing of the liver then a snog outside a chip shop). So why is Zoe-Ann the only single person in all of Soho?
My gay ex boyfriend
Babe's Bible Blog: Take your typical "now you see him, now you don't" love story. Now picture this - it's not your ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend you have to deal with. It's your ex-boyfriend's new boyfriend.
The ex files
Do past relationships, and we mean the biggies of our lovelorn lives, create a new dating style for future hookups or are we just a little too emotionally analytical for our own good? Our Char breaks it down, from the spat to the stalking to the revenge shags to the getting fat to the... future?

The cinderella effect

Charlotte Kymberley dispels the myth of 'the Cinderella effect', and looks at what we can do to replace it with something more realistic...

Myspace stalking and the EX factor
It has been statisically proven that rejected women are more likely to engage in stalker-like behaviour than rejected men. The problem is, says Charlotte Kimberley, that women are hard-wired to need confrontation and resolution when a relationship breaks down, and men and women have a very different take on the meaning of 'desire'...
