Clone Sheep Not Clothes
(ContentDesk) September 23, 2005 -- As I took a friend's son shopping at a mall the other day, I was appalled by the shocking cloning process running amuck in the building. Each shirt looked just like every other shirt; each skirt just the same. Although his budget and expectations were low, I felt that I should give him a taste of true fashion --haute couture.First, I began telling him about haute couture fashion. Haute couture is French for high fashion. Haute means high or elegant while couture means sewing.What's behind the notion of Haute Couture?Haute couture is now synonymous with the design and creation of upscale, one-of-a-kind garments.
Haute couture houses must be registered with the Syndical Chamber for Haute Couture in Paris, and only 18 exclusive shops* belong. Collections are presented twice a year, and each show must have at least 35 outfits for both day and evening wear. Examples of these haute couture houses are Coco Chanel, Pierre Cardin, and Christian Dior.Since outfits are made from scratch specifically for each customer, only haute couture can help you achieve the perfect fit. Your clothes will never be knockoffs from other stores, but originals just for you. The average tailored suit runs around $16,000 depending on the material.A vendeuse, an important saleswoman*, in the house will be in charge of your entire purchasing experience from the appointment on.
She receives a commission from her clients and is more than willing to help you with anything. Your vendeuse will be your contact in the house. (Note: sometimes a video of the house collection is made available to serious buyers to aid in their viewing and selection process).Not only do you get an exclusive fit, but you get exclusive materials too. Because certain textures, colors and types of a cloth may be reserved for one house only.At the same time, the houses use only the most luxurious furs, silks, cashmeres, and novelty fabrics. As they plan an outfit they use toiles or sample garments, either canvas or calico that can be adjusted without expense, before creating your masterpiece in the best colors for you.When wearing haute couture clothes, you are certain to carry yourself a bit differently.
You will walk with your head held high, knowing that not only are you a unique person but also even your clothes represent only you.What about Haute Couture and men?Successful business people all over enjoy haute couture in their daily lives. Especially men."Finally, it's the guy's turn to be fashionable!" said Gregory Scott Reid, well-known speaker and three-time #1 best-selling author.California native, Reid created this unique design when he realized that Men's fashion was primarily left unchanged. Each day he typically wore his shirt/tie/suit combination to the office and for special occasions. However, he questioned why he was spending exorbitant amounts of money on wonderful ties that he couldn't show off.That is where the inspiration began. Reid teamed up with Haute Couture Fashion Designer, Kimberly Mac.
Together they were able to take Reid's idea of cutting 'slits' into one of his dress shirts, and "weave" a tie through it, enabling people to not only show off more of the tie, but also creating an original look that was long overdue in men's fashion."Why hasn't this been done before?" asked Reid.Original, first ever, never available before, Reid's shirts feature double pearl button cuffs and superior quality fabric in Jarkarta White, Skyline Blue and Midnight Black.

Midlife: Single, Lonely & Depressed? Try Dancing!
It's no wonder so many people of all ages are turning to dancing. It kills two birds with one stone: it's a great way to meet members of the opposite sex and new friends, and it offers exercise, one of the antidotes to depression with or without therapy, with or without medication.If you know you should be exercising more and just can't drag yourself out of bed an hour earlier in the morning to go jogging in the freezing cold, or can't find tennis and racquetball partners, dancing's an option you need to consider. It requires no partner, no special equipment, costs little, happens after work hours, and you probably have something appropriate to wear already in your closet. Many dance halls now offer free or nearly-free group dance lessons and there are dancing studios cropping up all over the country where you can get individual and group lessons. Typically the dance teacher in the private school tries to balance the ratio of men to women (arguably the hardest part of the job), and encourages...

Decorate a Small Bedroom with Style
Decorating small bedrooms can be a challenge, but it's not as hard as you might think! There are many things you can do to make the most of the space you have to work with.
PLAN YOUR SPACE
First, plan your space. The bed is, of course, the focal point when decorating a bedroom. Decorating small bedrooms does not mean that you need small furniture. In fact, using larger furniture will actually make the bedroom feel more cozy and inviting.
When you are short on space, consider purchasing bedroom furniture that can double as storage space. For instance, a bed with under bed storage is a perfect choice for a small room. The drawers underneath the bed are great for storage. Use the drawers as a dresser, that way you may only need to have a bedside table next to the bed. Choose a larger table, perhaps 2X3, so that it can do double duty as a work table, or writing desk.
A comfortable storage chair and ottoman will complete the furnishings in this...

Olive Oil -Not Just for Popeye
Archeological records indicate that man has cultivated the olive tree for about 6,000 years; having been especially popular in the Isle of Crete (which as you recall, also appeared in the Seven Countries Study to be the site of the lowest incidence of heart disease). All oils that we use for eating and cooking contain "fat" and olive oil is no exception. However, it is mostly monounsaturated fat as opposed to saturated fat or hydrogenated fat. It can be used as a flavoring for cooking or in salad...
