Lois Samuels

She is known for her distinctive smile, but over the past two years, that famous wide grin, often seen in fashion editorials, had faded and is only now starting to shine once again.

Lois Samuels is a Jamaican icon and an inspiration to many aspiring models in the Caribbean, who can only dream of achieving the success she accomplished at the height of her career. "I was lucky to be discovered," she tells SO, as she recalls the story of how a man with a penchant for beauty spotted her, during a scouting trip at the Hampton School in St Elizabeth.

Why Do We Have One Night Stands?

What is the purpose of the one-night stand? Does it accomplish anything? I don't condone one-night stands; for me they've led to awkwardness, and self-loathing (of course I'm filled with self loathing without sex in my life, so what's the difference?).

I'm reluctant to accept "I was drunk" as the sole reason for a one night stand. Alcohol contributes to risky behavior or clouds judgment. As a depressant, it also enhances negative emotions. In light of this, there are temporary mindsets we should not mix with alcohol--mindsets that make us more vulnerable and prone to a one night stand.
