A Cuddle Party may look like a pajama party for grown-ups. It’s fun but there are rules. The number one rule, pajamas stay on the whole time. This is a non-sexual event.
So what’s a cuddle party?
The parties are held around the country to help people achieve better intimacy, and communication. And it allows people to express themselves in a comfortable and safe environment.
There’s snuggling, nuzzling and even spooning. But not everyone’s ready for a group hug right away since you may not know everyone. So to get comfortable there are a few steps to start with.
The first step, whether you’re with a partner or by yourself, is to sit and chat in a welcome circle. You hear the rules which include asking permission and getting a verbal yes before you touch anybody. And if everyone agrees to all of the rules, the cuddling begins.
“I love experiencing the feelings that come up when you connect with each individual person,” said cuddle party-goer Linda Hunter at a recent Phoenixville party.
“Day to day life can get isolating so it’s nice to have something to break out of that pattern,” says Eric Merlino, another cuddle guest.
For Eric Hunter, “I have finally completely overcome my social anxiety that I had for decades.”
Cuddle parties last for about 3 hours and pajamas and stuffed animals are optional.
“These folks enjoyed themselves, they tell me they leave feeling lighter emotionally and physically,” said Edie. “You can’t help but smile being around this.”

When I first saw this picture, I got a good LOL out of it! Paris Hilton really is an entertainer, the perfect whoretainment you sometimes miss and subconsciously crave.
This is Paris’ way of promoting her new fragrance, “Can Can” in London, England.
Does she think she’s promoting a female version of Axe? Guys don’t even like perfume. The taste is too strong when they lick it and they tell you, ‘um, no.’ Paris’ troll boy Benji probably doesn’t mind it, though, it covers up the dead cattle scent she emits whenever she opens her legs before he asks God for forgiveness, in case it’s the end, then proceeds.

In a much-anticipated 4-3 ruling issued Thursday, the California Supreme Court struck down the state’s ban on same-sex marriage as unconstitutional.The ruling clears the way for the state to become the second to legalize same-sex marriage.
Several gay and lesbian couples — along with the city of San Francisco and gay rights groups — had sued, saying they were victims of unlawful discrimination.
A lower court ruled San Francisco acted unlawfully in issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, but Thursday’s ruling overturned that decision.
“In contrast to earlier times, our state now recognizes that an individual’s capacity to establish a loving and long-term committed relationship with another person and responsibly to care for and raise children does not depend upon the individual’s sexual orientation,” the court said in the 120-page ruling, “and, more generally, that an individual’s sexual orientation — like a person’s race or gender — does not constitute a legitimate basis upon which to deny or withhold legal rights.
I couldn’t have said it better! 
Now does this mean that JC Chasez can finally marry Lance Bass and Ellen DeGeneres and Portia are gonna get married then divorced a year later? This is a major victory for equality in every community. I’m very impressed with everyone who has been pushing for this for so long, you all accomplished it much sooner than many people thought.
Congratulations!!

I can’t wait until parts of Kim’s face start falling off and peeling while she’s on the red carpet one day. She’s a looker - you just can’t stop staring at her, wondering how much pain she’s in and how many muscles she can use in her face at any given moment.
When I think about it, how can you possibly give good oral when the only part of your face you can move is your eyelids? Girls, this is the reason why you shouldn’t chop up your face! Heh. Gawd, I’m more random than usual today.
Oh ya! And Kim won some lawsuit,
Lil’ Kim notched a victory in court yesterday when a judge awarded her $500,000 dollars over an unauthorized DVD released by former cohort Lil’ Cease.Lil’ Kim filed the $6 million dollar lawsuit against Lil’ Cease in July of 2005, claiming the former Junior M.A.F.I.A. member illegally used her name and likeness to promote his DVD The Chronicles of Junior M.A.F.I.A. Part II: Reloaded.
According to The New York Post, Manhattan Federal judge Jed Rakoff sided with Lil’ Kim and ruled that Lil’ Cease and his company Ground Zero entertainment infringed upon Lil’ Kims rights.
In July of 2005 Lil’ Kim won a temporary restraining order against the entire Junior M.A.F.I.A. and Ground Zero Entertainment to halt sales of the DVD.

Britney Spears grabbed all her prized possessions - Cheetos, cigs, redbull and brown boots to fly to Costa Rica with Mel Gibson and her dad, Jamie Spears. Brit Brit’s plane departed at 9:05 a.m.
ET reports,
We spotted them leaving on a private plane to the Central American state early this morning. Sources tell us that Mel is taking Britney and her father JAMIE for a mini-vacation. We’ve learned they will be guests at Mel’s home in Costa Rica.
According to the terms of her custody Britney’s children cannot leave the country without special approval. There is no confirmation as to whether she sought approval and we’re told they are not joining her on the trip.
While the pop star and the actor may appear to be an unlikely duo, they used to live in the same Malibu community and were spotted having dinner together at Studio City’s Romanov restaurant in March.
How long is she gonna be there? What’s in her suitcase? What’s in Mel’s suitcase? Bitch is getting knocked up in style, she’s hoping for a girl this time.
