Oh Dear! Boyfriend uploads video of his GF dancing Nude in his house (+18 Video)

Don't know if ladies will ever learn from what is happening all around the social media, they keep letting guys capture their nude pic or video all in the name of fun and at the end it gets all over the internet. I won't blame them by the way, sometimes when you are lost in love you just want to be happy and make your man happy too. 

Ladies please always be careful with how you expose your nakedness to the camera. No matter how comfortable you could be at the time of the act it would always come after you in future.

We wonder why it is always the ladies falling victims to such blackmail. It goes a long way in showing deceit on the part of some men.

Kristhielee Caride, Miss Puerto Rico 2016 has lost her crown just four months after winning it and also the beauty queen lost her chance to compete in the Miss Universe pageant because of a “terrible attitude.”

The trouble started when Puerto Rican paper El Nuevo Día published an interview with the newly crowned victor on Monday.

#A4Waist: Chinese are measuring their thinning waist using A4 Paper (PHOTOs)

Ok there is this new trend called the #A4waist Challenge, it currently trending on social media especially the once own by Chinese. The challenge is actually to celebrate Asian ladies with thinning waist. So a lot of people are taking the opportunity to showcase their thinning figure measuring it with an A4 Paper... I think it is quite cool. 

via Yahoo!

 It seems like the never-ending quest for the “ideal” body has resulted in a series of bizarre memes. In recent months, we’ve seen people posting pictures of their thigh gaps, belly buttons and pens under their b**bs, causing us to wonder who even came up with these challenges in the first place.

Now, it looks like the Internet has gone one step further to pressure women to prove that they have tiny midriffs with the “A4 waist challenge.” For the challenge, women are required to take photos of themselves with a piece of A4 printer paper in front of their waists. The width of an A4 paper is eight inches, and women are trying to prove that their waistlines are narrower than that.

Oops! Weather Girl accidentally exposes her b00bs on live TV

Roxana Vancea, 25, was reading the forecast on a Romanian channel when she decided to start exercising in front of the weather map, apparently to illustrate that it might be nice to be outdoors. But as she was running and throwing her arms up in the air, her breasts popped out of her low-cut top to reveal her nipples. She initially appeared not to notice the slip-up and continued to jump up and down. 

After bouncing up and down for a few more minutes she finally re-adjusted her t-shirt. The camera then cut to her colleagues at another desk, who looked dumbstruck by what they had witnessed. My question is, did she not notice her type of dress before bouncing around as she was in a bouncing castle?
