Gwen Stefani, lead singer of the pop band No Doubt, has lead a Madonna-esque fashion revolt in both her recent videoclip for her single What You Waiting For and her solo album Love, Angel, Music, Baby. Her catchy 80’s inspired popish tunes, platinum blonde hair and Like A Virgin kit out on the album cover art only reinforce her homage to the material girl, even though it may be somewhat tongue in cheek.
But its her references to the Japanese Harajuku Girls peppered throughout the album and on one track in particular that has drawn interest from a diverse range of commentators.
So who are these Harajuku Girls anyway?
The Harajuku District of Tokyo and in particular Takeshita Street, a narrow street lined with shops is home to these funky fashionistas. Since the end of World War II, “consumerism” and “consumption” have become the national past-time for most Japanese and in particular teenage girls who often live at home with their parents well into their twenties. Their rent free existence provides them with the enough funds to flock to Harajuku every weekend, where they transform themselves into Lolita-esque baby doll caracitures.
It’s all a sort of a pop-art meets pop-culture meets Western decadence kinda street where often a t-shirt with a western image like Mickey Mouse can go for several hundred dollars a pop. This constant pursuit of rock n roll pop star hipness extends to teenage boys too. They in turn have opted for the western inspired hip-hop culture of disheveled jeans hanging half way to their knees, caps at all angles on their heads and of course lots and lots of bling.
Often the net result looks like something out of a Manga comic book as the fashionistas of Harajuku compete to look less human and more iconic. Not concerned about what we in the West may see as a conflict of style over substance, Harajuku Girls unlike the Goths, punks and bond girls that came before are not about rebellion from society. No, in fact these girls, like most Japanese, are often extremely polite and happy to pose for photographs with inquisitive tourists who gather every Sunday to take happy snaps of these super-model caricatures.
For the Girls of Harajuku, their most extreme vice may be a simple cigarette.

With the compensation civilisation increasing all around the planet, having public liability cover is becoming more & more important. If you do not have professionally indemnity insurance incorporated into your building cover, then now is possibly the right time to look into getting better cover. Here is some recommendations about why you require insurance, and what to watch out for.
What is professional indemnity insurance: Public Liability cover is an insurance contract that shields you from claims that 3rd party’s may perhaps make against you in the probability of an accident. If somebody damages their property or injures themselves in or around your property or business then the public liability insurance will shield you for any fees that could possibly occur. Cover typically ranges from two hundred and fifty pounds up to ?1 million.
What are you protected for: Insurance will insure you for accidents or loss that others could suffer in or around your residence or organisations site. You are covered against claims from robbers on top of injury that might perhaps occur to somebody from falling objects or people carrying out maintenance. If a mishap arises on your property & somebody claims against you, your insurance will help you to pay any damages.
What’s included A lot of contents or property insurance policies include in-built liability insurance. You ought to check with your insurance company whether this is the case, and if so what grade of cover you have. Even if the insurance is built-in, you must guarantee that you are precisely protected for any type of accidents that may perhaps take place.
Payment: The premiums that you are likely to have to pay depend on the kind of coverage you need. If you only insure your home, then costs are extremely likely to be much less than if you are wanting to cover a business. Although, payments are somewhat cheap inexpensive the amount of protection that you receive and its therefore crucial for anybody running an organisation.

In other words the ADEA permits employers to discriminate based on age considering age is legitimately necessary under the circumstances. In Meacham Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory was planning to lay off a number of employees. The company had its supervisors rate their subordinates based on their performance flexibility and critical skills. The Supreme Court ruled that if an employer seeks to rely on that defense. Specifically the jury found that although the plaintiffs did not prove that Knolls intentionally discriminated against them they did prove that Knolls method of deciding who to lay off disproportionately harmed older workers. The BFOQ defense states that it is not unlawful for an employer to take adverse employment actions otherwise prohibited by the ADEA where age is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the particular business. Twenty-eight of those 40 employees sued under the ADEA claiming Knolls illegally fired them because of their age. A lawyer from Waalwijk won from a lawfirm in Glendora California Even if the employment action is otherwise prohibited by the ADEA. It has the burden to prove that its decision was based on a reasonable factor other than age. Knolls totaled those scores and gave the employees additional points based on their years of service. As long as the adverse action is based on reasonable factors other than age. At the trial a jury found Knolls had violated the ADEA because its layoff procedure had a disparate impact based on age. The Supreme Court has previously recognized that the employer has the burden to establish the BFOQ affirmative defense. For example it would not be illegal to consider criteria for a particular role in a movie that has a disparate impact on age if the part calls for someone of a particular age. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit initially affirmed the jurys findings but after the United States Supreme Court asked it to reconsider the Second Circuit reversed itself and ruled in favor of Knolls. The Supreme Court then agreed to hear the case and eventually reversed the Second Circuit and reinstated the jurys finding that Knolls policy unlawfully discriminated because of age. It then used those totals to decide who to lay off. Thirty of the 53 salaried employees the company laid off were at least 32 years old. In reaching its conclusion that the employer has the burden to prove the reasonable factors other than age defense the Supreme Court looked at another provision of the ADEA the bona fide occupational qualification defense. In that case Meacham versus Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory the Supreme Court interpreted a provision of the ADEA that permits an employer to take an adverse employment action against an employee.

Throw back jerseys are all the rage across the United States. They are big business, too. Go into the top throw back jerseys stores in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and the other cool urban centers in the United States, and you’ll find tourists, business men, and rap stars alike dropping $20,000 on what is essentially just clothing.
But that’s just the thing. These throw back jerseys are not just clothing. They are artifacts from the a long gone era, when all of our heroes were still in the game and good and bad was a black and white issue.
You didn’t have to worry back then if Michael Jack Schmidt was shooting up at the gym. You didn’t have to wonder if Wilt Chamberlain was going to pass his drug test. And you especially didn’t have to wonder whether Jim Brown would just up and quit the running back position for personal reasons. Wait, strike that. These jerseys are gems from this pure and innocent past in sports. They are heart warming and comforting.
Allen Iverson, Shaq, and OutKast might also suggest that throw back jerseys look darn good on them, too. The whole thing is one big fashion statement in the sports and pop scene.
Why have throw back jerseys become so popular?
People don the classic green North Stars hockey jersey not to relive the glory days of the NHL, but because the jersey looks slick. They throw on the blue and maroon Philadelphia Phillies jersey from the World Series year of 1983 not to celebrate that awesome team, but because they just don’t make jerseys like that now.
How can you get into this action? Either hit the streets of Philadelphia or some of the other hotbeds of the throw back jerseys scene. Or scour the online sites for auctions and sales of your favorite teams, players, and years.
Be forewarned: there are plenty of cheap knockoffs out there on the market, and believe me, you definitely get what you pay for. Genuine, top-quality authentic jerseys aren’t cheap.
That’s what happens when rappers and sports stars buy them up and drive up demand. But when you put on one of your authentic, throw back jerseys to wear at your favorite sporting event or on a date, you’ll feel like ten times what you spent.

A few months ago, I decided I was overdue for a proper vacation. The last time I had been away for any length of time was five years ago. After my first year of university, my parents generously sponsored me to go on a European tour. I visited eight countries in fourteen days, and slept in youth hostels the entire time. The only luggage I brought with me was my trusty backpack. Following the advice of some more seasoned travelers, I sewed a Canadian flag on my backpack. Everyone loves Canadians, eh!
This trip was to be somewhat different. I have decided to go back to Europe, but this time I will be traveling in style. I am planning to take a first-class flight into London, and I am in dire need of some first-class luggage. Luggage is such a difficult thing to shop for. It is one of those things that will not be used often enough to justify any great expense, but to purchase cheap luggage would be a complete waste of time and money. I decided to get together with the friends I will be going away with, for an afternoon of good old American shopping.
We spent the afternoon going from department store to big-box store to specialty store and back again. I finally narrowed my choices down to three potential sets of luggage; American Tourister, Briggs & Riley, and Zero Halliburton. They each have certain appealing aspects, and they are all reasonably priced. I read somewhere that American Tourister luggage has one of the best warranties in the industry. Briggs & Riley have been manufacturing quality products since 1993, and they also offer an extensive warranty. Zero Halliburton is, well…..Zero Halliburton.
Once I thought about it for a little while, I realized that the Zero Halliburton suitcase was the one for me. I’ll admit that I am actually in love with this luggage. If James Bond were transporting a suitcase filled with priceless gems, he would use a Zero Halliburton. I ended up purchasing a 26-inch Suiter for the slightly bloated price of $900.00. It is constructed from a wonderful brushed aluminum that looks like it would withstand an explosion, much less the baggage handlers at Heathrow. I will be bringing my prized collection of designer purses with me, so I can rest easy that they will be well protected in my awesome new suitcase. Do you think I should put a Canadian flag on it?

Many people are impressed with expensive suits and neckties? They believe in dressing for success. Yet, what if you are already successful? Why would you wear something that tries to choke you? That’s ridiculous, who invented that necktie anyway? Some dictator in history who wanted to be able to quickly strangle subordinates who pissed them off; if so, probably a good way to do that? Personally I am not one to where a dog collar, it is beneath me; I have more respect for myself than that.
Recently an image consultant was touting the use of expensive suits and neckties in business, but I have to make the following comments:
“Hey now young lady, I don’t even own a suit or a tie. Of course being self-employed has its advantages of course. I always look past the suit, I am never swayed by slickness only a feel for character. As a matter of a fact a suit makes me suspect the person is hiding behind a front, that he is weak inside or hiding the fact he lacks integrity. I therefore always ask more questions and seek conversations outside their area of expertise to see if they are intelligent. Never take advise from anyone in a suit until they can prove to you that they know about what they are talking about.”
Of course the image consultant totally disagreed with me, but that’s okay, I would never hire her anyway, I’d fire her ass and throw her out on her ear. You see we have too many people running around as imposters and posers, pretending to have knowledge, wisdom and experience when all they have is some nice threads. Personally give me some levis, a decent shirt and some New Balance or Nike Shoes and let’s see who has what it takes to get it done? Consider this in 2006.

There is something about a pair of sunglasses that makes them arguably one of the most quintessential ‘must-have’ items of all time. Not only are they immensely practical, offering protection from the dangers of the sun, they are an enormously versatile fashion accessory, available in a huge range of styles, colors and prices to suit every pocket. Given their worldwide popularity, sunglass manufacturing has become a very lucrative, but highly competitive industry and while some manufacturers rise and wane in the public affections, there is one company that remains forever synonymous with the eyeglasses that protect our eyes from the rays of the sun: Ray-Ban
Although Us President, Benjamin Franklin, is often credited with inventing eyeglasses (he was the one who developed the first bifocal lens in the 1780’s), the first reading glasses were developed in Italy, as early as 1260. People continued to be fascinated by all things optical throughout the centuries that followed, then, in the mid-eighteen hundreds British scientist James Ayscough began to research tinted glass, and the possibility that such technology may be used to improve vision impaired eyesight. As successful as he was, it was not until 1929 that the idea that glasses could filter the sun’s rays was given any serious consideration. At that time, U.S. optical company, Foster Grant, began to develop the idea further, until finally, later that same year, the first ever pair of sunglasses were sold from a Woolworth’s store on the Atlantic City boardwalk.
Recognizing that the new technology could be beneficial to their pilots, the U.S. Army Air Corps asked another prominent American company, Bausch & Lomb, to develop eyeglasses that would protect the eyes from the dangers of the glaring sun, when flying.
It was U.S. eyeglass company, Ray-Ban, who really ran with the concept. In 1936, using the newly available polarized lenses, and a wide frame that offered maximum protection from the sheen of an instrument panel, Ray-Ban began to produce a lens that banned the sun’s rays. Some three years later, this model of sunglass so popular with pilots, became readily available to the American public. Ray-Ban ‘aviators’ were born.
As Americans came of age, so too did their eyewear. Throughout the war years Ray-Ban continued its working partnership with the Air Force, creating Gradient mirror lenses that managed to be both highly practical and fashionable at the same time. There was something about that American flyer in his tough brown leather flight jacket, whose sunglasses hid his eyes. Ray-Ban had just made sunglasses sexy.
Ubiquitous in the 1950’s, sunglasses became more than just eye protection. Worn by A-list celebrities in Vegas and Hollywood -stars whose every move was scrutinized and emulated all over the country- sunglasses became a fashion accessory, and Ray-Ban was quick to accommodate the growing trend for new designs and colorful frames, which they marketed to women in particular.
Keeping abreast of space-age technology, the company developed shatterproof lenses in the 1960’s and the popularity of sunglasses continued to rise when fashion icon Jackie Kennedy was often seen with her trademark, oversized frames. On the silver screen, sunglasses were becoming an essential part of any actor’s costume, with movie stars like Peter Fonda and Audrey Hepburn, playing stylish, sunglass-wearing, characters who were able to hide their eyes from the audience and remain convincing.
Ray-Ban continued to develop new styles and designs in the 1970’s and 1980’s: their ‘Wings’ model was indeed a forerunner to the very modern, half-frame, lens of today. In the era of American TV cop shows, like Starsky & Hutch, and Chips, the mirrored lenses once so popular in the 1940’s, began to reappear. Ray-Ban was retro.
Stylish and modern, funky and retro, Ray-Ban remains at the forefront of sunglass manufacturing to this day, no mean feat when one considers the competition out there. Undoubtedly, the company will continue to have staying power in the industry, because throughout the decades it has evolved with the nation to give people exactly what they want for their eyes: the reliable protection of a hi-tech pair of sunglasses, and the serious ‘cool’ of a damn sexy pair of shades.

Having our makeup at our fingertips is a number one priority for most every woman, even if it’s just a tube of lipstick. We need to know that we can freshen our face anytime anywhere. So what makes up the ultimate makeup bag?
Today we can buy fashionable and trendy makeup bags ranging in size from compact to purse size.
That’s really great, that our makeup bag can be part of our fashion statement, but it’s what we put in it that really counts.
And why is it no matter what size the bag you have is, it seems to be too small or the makeup you most need at the moment doesn’t appear to have made it into the bag. It’s time solve that dilemma but putting together the perfect makeup bag!
The bag itself is really a matter of your personal taste. Find one that fits your personality and will fit into your purse. There’s no sense buying a huge makeup bag when you pack a tiny purse. Prices can range from a couple of dollars to a hundred dollars. Yes I said $100.00 - those designer names don’t come cheap.
As we build the perfect makeup kit, we’ll assume you are packing a small to medium makeup bag. For those that have a tinier bag you’ll have to choose which items to remove. For those packing a large bag, fill you boots or should I say make up bag with any extras you’d like to add.
The very first thing you need to put in your bag is a small compact mirror, double sided preferably. You can purchase a nice size travel mirror complete with protective cover for around $5.00.
Next make sure to include essential brushes. Brushes such as blush and eyeshadow are most important. Or you can purchase a compact set of miniature brushed for around $10.00. That will ensure you’ll have every brush you need.
Include your foundation or powder. If the original container is too large, then purchase a compact bottle or transfer some to an after market container that seals well.
Don’t forget to include your favorite lipstick [only one please] Remember your building a compact version of your real makeup case. You can add a lip gloss if you like.
Same goes for eyeshadow. Choose a palette of colors you can wear or use anytime. There is no good way to pack a variety of colors, so it’s best to choose your most reliable colors.
Or, you can purchase one of the pocket eyeshadows that has 8 or 12 variations. However, I find usually there’s only a few colors you’ll actually use in these. Don’t’ forget to add mascara and eyeliner.
Blush can be a bit tricky because the containers are usually quite bulky. Again look for a small version of your blush or find a comparable one that comes in a travel size.
To keep you fresh, you can also add some prepackaged facial cleansing cloths, a travel toothbrush and toothpaste, and a travel size deodorant.
That’s it, you’ve just built the ultimate travel makeup bag. All the basics, to get you through the day. No wasn’t that easy?
