Help with choosing new lens...

I have a Nikon D90 + 18-105mm kit lens, as well as a Tamron 90mm macro/portrait lens. With this in mind, would it be practical for me to get a 50mm lens? Cos I read somewhere that it's a lens all photographers should have.

The 50mm would be my multipurpose lens for shooting portraits, scenes, etc. cos I feel sometimes the depth of field in my kit lens is not enough. The thing I'm not sure is, what will be the benefits of the 50mm in daily situations compared to my 90mm?

Or would it be better to get a 35mm since I saw somewhere 50mm is too narrow for crop bodies.

Also, I'm wondering if anyone knows if good fish eye adapters that can fit with my Tamron lens?

underarm waxing tips/wax brands?

Have been trying to wax my underarms - have very thick black hairs there.

I've tried Veet Wax Strips, but I waxed until my underarms got too sore and only about 50% hair was removed. :/ Recently I bought a packet of Body Natur Wax strips as well, but that one removes even less

Anyone have any tips/good brands of wax to recommend?

Actually I heard that hard wax is good for underarm waxing, and that Body Shop sells it, but I've been to the Mid Valley outlet a few times and it never seems to be in stock.

Best macro lens for Nikon D90?

I'm on a budget, so I'd prefer it to be under RM1300. (cheaper would be good, I'm a student so don't have that much money to burn xD)

So far the one I've seen and liked is Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di 1:1 Macro, but that one the price is a bit overbudget (RM1400 for new lens, if I'm not mistaken).

The lens will be used take close up shots of water droplets, flowers, possibly a few insects, etc as well, so something from 90mm or more would be nice. What is your opinion on the Tamron, or are there any other lenses would you recommend?
