Top 10 Common Things Found in a Woman’s Purse

1 2

We have all seen women carrying a huge purse along with themselves and being tiny little fragile human beings that they are, men are always wondering what they carry inside these bags. They assume it must be filled with a lot of junk that is completely unnecessary and certainly for people who carry around all their personal effects in their little wallet (the thinner the better) it certainly must be mind-boggling as to what a women carries around in that tote! Well to ease the discomfort and to put at rest all kinds of theories about women’s purses, here is a list that divulges all the information there is to know! Go through this and find out that women carry around their lives where ever they go, proudly!

1. Gum

A girl is almost always carrying with her some sort of bubble gum in her purse. I  know girls who carry two of the same brands of gum in their bag, both of them unfinished and both of them open and used. There is something about girls and gum that men just cannot seem to figure out. Perhaps having so much gum is why they are so well-tasting as well! Well, well, well, this here might be the reason your girl friend always tastes like strawberries or peach right.

 

2. The Primer

the primer

The primer, or the base for make-up is an absolute must-have. Most primers are a little expensive, but they are worth it if you want your make-up to last at least 8 hours. What the primer does is help fix the make-up on the skin, and this includes the foundation. If you use primer, the eye shadow will look impeccable all day long.

 

3. Mascara

There are many types of mascaras, and everybody knows that long, beautiful, black lashes make beautiful eyes amazing. If you want a natural look, you can use a little mascara, and if you want to go out in the club, you should definitely apply mascara for volume. In other words, you can wear it everywhere, anytime.

 

4. Purell

Purell

Keep the germ fighting power of Purell in your bag for quick and easy cleaning. You’ll need lotion when coming from a public bathroom, unless you like stiff, dry hands. Tissues are great for sudden runny noses, small spills and the occassional crying episode. For major stains like ketchup on a white dress or bbq sauce on your jeans, definitely look into purchasing a stain stick. A bunch of brands make them and they’re supposed to work like magic. No word on whether or not they actually do. We’ll need some reviews. I once dated a girl who was germaphobic and the only thing she would do is poor the Purell onto her hands about 20 times a day.

 

5. Chocolate

Women’s love for chocolates is a well known fact and hence a total of 10 percent women like to carry chocolates in some form or the other. The research was carried on  by Cadbury Chocolates to launch their new, handbag-sized Dairy Milk Bubbly Mini bar . it also reveled that an average woman carries around 40 items in her handbag.  Interesting statistic – no wonder most women cannot find anything in their purses. They must go digging and digging until they find what they need.

Top 10 Common Lies Women Tell

1 2

Although men are good at lies, women are no different. In some categories they top and master the knack of lying, better than men. Many men should be skillful at reading between lines and reading body language when here the following 10 phrases (clear throat: lies) women say (clear throat: tell).

 

1. I am not mad at you:

Sometimes, a man can say something that will make a woman want to pull out her hair and scream. But women don’t tell their significant others they are mad at them at that particular moment. They wait for the right moment to do so; when the subject comes up another time, for instance. When women want to avoid telling what is wrong, they simply say “I am not mad at you.” This phrase also comes up when women feel ashamed to be around their men. They don’t want to be seen in public together, and when men try to kiss or hug them, women pull out of the public affection.

 

2. Sex:

Women have a skill for hiding and concealing what they don’t like when it comes to sex. Men need to rely on body language and the tone of a woman’s voice after the occurrence to understand the woman’s emotions. When women say they enjoyed sex, they usually mean the opposite. Unlike with men, there is no physical evidence that shows they were happy or not happy, unless she is agitated and throwing you out of the house.

 

3. Just A Minute:

How many men have heard this before? 1 minute is never enough for a woman to get ready. Try timing her to see whether she is able to meet you and be ready in one minute. It’s a lie women use very often to stipulate that they need more time. Men should not keep bother women when they keep saying one minute. It could turn into a blow-up which men do not want.

 

4. I Love You (Too):

We never know when the right time is to say “I love you”. One can feel love towards a significant other, but once you say these 3 simple words, the relationship changes forever. A man can say “I love you” simply for the sake of having sex, if he is a jerk of course, or because he sincerely feels these feelings. When a man says “I love you” and the woman is freaked out, a woman may say it back sincerely, or she may get sensitive and emotional. She does not want to have an argument, so she says “thank you”, or jokingly says, “I don’t love you”.

 

5. This is my phone number:

Women will never admit to men they are not interested. Instead, they will give them a fake phone number. Women cannot stare at the men’s faces when they reject the men. Therefore, women take the easy way out and give out the wrong number. Men will eventually get the point that the woman he asked for the phone number is not interested.

Top 10 Women In Recent History

1 2

The women mentioned in this list are not household names and people such as Mary Seacole have unfortunately been omitted, as has Florence Nightingale and Marie Curie. This list has tried to combine women from different walks of life, and Princess Diana and Mother Teresa should perhaps have been added, but they appear elsewhere. It was also difficult to place them in order, and certainly this will not be the order many of you would have chosen.

 

1. Dame Freya Stark (1893-1993)

Dame Freya Stark was the first Westerner to travel through some regions of the Middle East and was the first Western woman to do so. She was fluent in Arabic and Turkish and mastered many other languages and dialects. She liked to be thought of as the female Lawrence of Arabia, but did other work too. She worked as a nurse in Italy during the First World War and during the Second World War worked for the British Ministry of Information, founding the Brotherhood of Freedom in Cairo which was a democratic anti-fascist organization. She wrote many enjoyable, immensely readable books about her travels which are well-worth reading.

 

2. Mary Edith Durham (1862-1944)

Like Freya Stark , Edith Durham as she was better known, spent time in the Balkans, where she won the respect of the fierce tribes peoples in High Albania. She wrote for “The Times” of London and worked to gather information in The Balkans, which was and is a highly sensitive area, and one of importance to the West. Her books are very readable, and although when she died she had lost the respect of some of her fellow-country people, the Albanians remembered her as she would have wished.

 

3. Lucrezia Borgia (1480-1519)

Lucrezia Borgia was the daughter of Pope Alexander VI and sister of Cesare, with whom it is said she had an incestuous relationship. Cesare was the epitome of Machiavelli’s “The Prince” and Lucrezia went down in history as a ruthless poisoner, adulteress and schemer, who involved herself with the politics of Renaissance Italy. She became the Duchess of Ferrara on her marriage, which had been arranged by her brother to further the power and influence of the Borgia family. She is one of the women in history who played a very different role to other women of her time.

 

4. Amelia Earhart ( 1897-1937?)

Amelia Earhart was an intrepid adventurer and aviator whose motto could have been “Adventure is worthwhile in itself.” She was given her first flight by Frank Hawks in 1920 and went on to become only the 16th woman to be granted a pilots licence. Her plane was lost in 1937 and she was legally presumed dead in 1939. In December 2010 some bones were found on a pacific Island which may have been hers, and if they prove to be, the mystery surrounding her demise might be solved.

 

5. Mary Ann Evans, George Eliot (1819-1886)

Mary Ann Evans used George Eliot as her pen name because she wanted people to read her books, and in the 19th century, women were not supposed to be good authors. Undeterred she went on to write some of the best books in English Literature, notably, “Middlemarch”, “The Mill on the Floss” and others. Critics have said that she did not portray male characters realistically, but given the mores of the time this is perhaps understandable and forgivable.

Top 10 History’s Most Scandalous Women

1 2

In 2010, you know you’re a scandalous woman if you have retained Gloria Allred as your attorney—not because you really have done anything terribly wrong, of course, but to protect your reputation and preserve your rights for telling your own story. Allred and her clients clearly have learned the most valuable lesson from all of history’s most scandalous women: The quality of the story trumps the historical facts like a full house beats a pair of deuces, and a woman serves her own best interests by telling her own story in her own way. History further demonstrates that a woman’s well-managed scandal can evolve into a tremendously successful career. Ten prominent examples make the case.

 

1. Cleopatra VII

Arguably history’s first political powerhouse woman: Generally known simply as “Cleopatra”—as in the Cleopatra, star of story, legend, and drama—the Egyptian queen departed from her fiercely Greek Ptolemaic predecessors, learning the Egyptian language and declaring herself a reincarnation of the goddess Isis. After Roman conspirators assassinated Caesar in 44BC, Cleopatra forged an alliance with Marc Antony and Caesar’s opposition. The political hook-up, however, paled by comparison with the historic consequences of their love affair. According to most storytellers, Cleopatra made conquest of all the ancient world’s most powerful men, seducing and them compromising them with her irresistible beauty and her even more compelling wit, charm, and intellect.

 

2. Lady Godiva

History’s first “uppity woman,” married to the Baron of Coventry, England, and champion of her oppressed people. To his wife’s considerable chagrin and over her repeated protests, the greedy and gluttonous Baron relentlessly taxed the people to support his own excesses. Finally, Lady Godiva wore down the Baron’s objections, and the two struck a deal: He would remit the taxes if she rode “naked” through Coventry; precise definitions of “naked” remain the subject of spirited debate among scholars, but artists always have chosen the no-clothes version, usually covering her with her own luscious, languorous locks. Jealous of his trophy wife’s considerable good looks, the Baron decreed that the townspeople had to shutter their windows as she cruised the main street. As the story goes, all but once citizen complied: the infamous “Peeping Tom” secured a permanent place in the history of voyeurism by drilling a hole in his shutters to catch a glorious glimpse of milady’s tenderest parts. For his troubles, Peeping Tom allegedly was struck blind. Lady Godiva took her brazen ride, and the Baron enacted the tax cuts as promised. History offers no record of the Coventry citizens’ living happily ever after.

 

3. Joan of Arc

Fifteenth century warriorette, who claimed she had visions from God instructing her to free France from English domination. Then uncrowned Charles VII sent nineteen-year-old Joan to the siege of Orleans, ostensibly as part of a relief mission. Once there, Joan scrutinized les vieux garcons battle plans, threw-out the old playbook, and lifted the siege in just nine days. She subsequently led French forces to several more quick and decisive victories, securing Charles VII’s coronation and the end of the dispute about his rights to the French throne. For her efforts on France’s behalf and because of her claims about divine intervention, an English Ecclesiastical Court found her guilty of heresy, promptly burning her at the stake. Twenty-five years later, Pope Callixtus III overturned her conviction and declared her a martyr. Joan of Arc was canonized in 1920 and promoted to one of the patron saints of the French.

 

4. Ma Barker

A classic example of the story far outstripping the facts: According to the popular press, and especially according to J. Edgar Hoover and his fledgling squad of G-Men, Ma Barker was a tough-talking, cigar-smoking, Tommy-gun toting criminal mastermind who orchestrated approximately 100 hundred heinous crimes—big bank heists, high-profile kidnappings, and murders—between 1931 and 1935. On January 8, 1935, the Feds nabbed “Doc” Barker, who unfortunately carried a map to the Barker-Karpis gang’s Ocklawaha, Florida, hideout. Eight days later, federal agents surrounded the house, ordering the gangsters to surrender. Instead, Fred Barker opened fire on the agents, initiating a protracted fire-fight; witnesses and participants agreed it lasted several hours. Both Ma and Fred died in the gun battle, and FBI spokespeople reported Ma was found with a machine gun in her hands. The government publicly displayed their bodies, ostensibly to discourage other gangsters and criminal entrepreneurs, but also to boost the FBI’s public image. Witnesses and historians since have proven she never participated in any criminal activity, and they allege that FBI agents planted the gun in her hands after she died.

 

5. Bonnie Parker (of Bonnie and Clyde)

Barely twenty-one when she began her notorious criminal exploits, Bonnie Parker was every bit as tough, sassy, and sexy as Fay Dunaway made her appear in the 1967 movie of her three-year crime spree with partner and lover Clyde Barrow. In the same way Bonnie and Clyde introduced explicit violence to the movies, the real-life Bonnie and Clyde introduced extreme and sometimes gratuitous violence into the relatively simple business of holding-up small rural banks and markets. The stylish villains of pulp fiction killed at least nine police officers and at least two innocent bystanders during their rampages across the Midwest and rural South. Arguably the first criminals to manage their own public relations, the couple posed for titillating and sensational pictures that inevitably found their way into the newspapers and newsreels of the early thirties. According to historian Jeff Guinn, “Without Bonnie, the media outside Texas might have dismissed Clyde as a gun-toting punk, if it ever considered him at all. With her sassy photographs, Bonnie supplied the sex-appeal, the oomph, that allowed the two of them to transcend the small-scale thefts and needless killings that actually comprised their criminal careers.” Bonnie and Clyde ultimately died in an attack by Louisiana law enforcement officials in 1934.
