Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

October isn’t over yet, so neither is my latest obsession with things breast related. The focus of this and next week’s postings are bras, which we all know at times can be a woman’s best friend, and own worst enemy, as I’m sure every lady out there has had one of those days when for some reason or another you’ve worn that bra from hell; the kind that pinches, pulls, or sorta digs into your skin, and is basically so uncomfortable it ruins your day. So this week’s tip will help you to avoid such misery by showing you how to fit oneself in the correct size bra.

M.I.S.S. Jet Set: To Wheel or Not To Wheel

Saturday, October 27th, 2007


There are so many carry on bag choices available right now, and choosing one that’s both stylish and functional is one heck of a predicament. Do you choose pretty, or practical? Backpack or tote? Wheeled or wheel-free? If you’re in the market for a new carry on bag, take a few moments and run some honest answers through this checklist to help you narrow down your choices to a manageable number. And, keep in mind that a safe maximum size is 45 inches total - just add the measurements of the length, width and height and if it’s 45 inches or under, you’re ok.

Fool Me Once Shame On You, Fool Me Twice…

In the words of the distinguished comedian Chris Rock, “Another kid? Another kid? I thought it was groundhog’s day when I heard that s#!t.”

Which is exactly how I felt yesterday when I heard about the break-in at Sonia Rykiel’s Brook Street boutique.

This is neither the first, second, third nor fourth time this month that a high-end store has been robbed in London for their expensive booty.

According to Rykiel’s Brook Street store manager:

“At half past midnight, our store was robbed and merchandise stolen, although I can’t reveal the value of goods stolen as a police inquiry has been made. We are pretty certain it was a gang who escaped on scooters.”

Yes, she did say scooters, which takes the situation to a whole other level of pathetic.

It is worth noting that of all major retailers hit in London, Burberry’s head-quraters still remain skid mark free. Hmm, could we have a good fashion conspiracy on our hands?
