12 Gan-ji Watch By Brownbreath And Alive Tokyo

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Korean studio Brownbreath teamed up with Japan’s Alive Tokyo to create the “12 Gan-ji” watch, which is based on certain concept of time found in both Japanese and Korean cultures.

The day is divided into 12 sections as opposed to 24 hours, and now we get an interesting black and red design that flatters the classic wristwatch wearer, but still providing a piece of interest for the collector or wristwatch enthusiast. Very cool, and a quality timepiece.

Eight Star Maternity Style Secrets

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

1: Shop Your Closet

Raid your existing wardrobe for pieces that can fit your new shape. “Any open cardigans, long stretchy tunics and tees will continue to work for you,” says Lori Soloman, owner of Veronique Maternity. Tent and empire-waist dresses are a natural transition piece, like the Black Halo number rocked by Nicole Richie.

2: Don’t Forget to Be Sexy

Just because you’re pregnant doesn’t mean you need to cover up. “If you never had cleavage before, show it off with a sweetheart or deep-V neckline,” says Soloman. Or play up a pair of fabulous legs, a la Heidi Klum, with a maternity minidress.

Unique Wedding Invitations

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Something to keep in mind when you are planning your wedding is that each and every part of your special day should be unique to you as a couple. Everything from the napkins to the songs you choose should have meaning to you and be special for the two of you as you begin your lives together. The same goes for the wedding invitations, which are sent out well before your wonderful day.

Your wedding invites should be uniquely your own, and a well-chosen, appropriate invitation will give your guests more than just the date and time.

The will also give your guests an overall idea of the two of you as a dating couple, and of what you will be as a married twosome.

For out-and-out unique ideas, there are more things you cando than simply choose special colors and fonts. First of all, think about your day and what is special about it.

For a winter wedding, there are some things that are associated with winter – such as snowflakes. A wedding invitation which is cut like a snowflake can be special and beautiful, and if you have the time you can even make sure that no two are alike, just like the real thing. Other elements of winter can be added in, like sparkly glitter, to mimic snow and ice.

For a fall wedding, you can use the colors of autumn leaves and actually have the invitations be in the shape of autumn leaves. These can be beautiful and unique ideas that are truly your own. Cutting the edges of invitations shaped like leaves, or using real glitter can be ways to have unique wedding invitation ideas that people will talk about for years to come.

Another option is to go outside the box when you are working on your wedding invitations, and completely move away from the paper invitation and envelop format. For instance, if you are having a small wedding on the beach, you might decide to send glass bottles with the invitation rolled up inside to each of your guests. Some sand in the bottom of the bottle, and a cork stuck in to the top, will make a beautiful and unique wedding invitation for you.

If you are both computer buffs, try sending a CD Rom or a DVD with your information printed on it, and also encrypted on the CD. Some people have used found objects for their wedding invitations – because printing the information something like a pair of flip-flops, a wine glass, or another type of ornament, can make a unique and pretty invitation that is also something your guests will be able to treasure forever.

5 Things You Should Never Tell Guy

Monday, June 1st, 2009

In the realm of male-female communication, there are certain topics most of us recognize as single-sex only. We’ll spare you the details about the comeback the Jets made, and you spare us the details about Ethan, the ex who was so well-hung his penis had a nickname for him. This approach ensures that nobody gets bored, and nobody gets pissed off.

But love isn’t that simple. Fact is, there are other, less obvious subjects that men wish you’d reserve for your girlfriends. If you’re wooing a guy, never bring up the following five “turnoff topics:”

Turnoff topic 1: All the cute things your pet does.

We think of pets as noble beasts, as partners in adventure. Which makes it disturbing when you start talking baby talk to them. “Nipsy, wipsy. Your mommy loves you, oh, yes she does.” Coddling a pet makes men suspect that your ideal companion is completely dependent upon you for food, lets you dress him up in colorful wool sweaters, and can be castrated if he starts acting too frisky.

Turnoff topic 2: Your belief in alternative medicine.

I was talking to a woman at a bar recently, and we were really connecting … until she started telling me about visits to her vitaminologist. “He told me I had happiness stuck in my bladder.” No matter how important you may feel it is to share your spiritual side, remember: When you tell us about your experiences with aromatherapy, reflexology, or crystals, all we hear is unstable, unstable, unstable.

Turnoff topic 3: How impressed you are with what others make.

I was out with my best friend, Greg, who goes to law school. We met one girl who started assessing the crowd: “Oh, my God, there are so many law-school guys here tonight. You know, in their first year out of school they make $119,000!”

You don’t have to convince us that you’re oblivious to material possessions. But ogling a man’s paycheck — ours or somebody else’s — makes us feel like you’re attaching our worth to our wallets. And we know there’s always going to be someone out there with deeper pockets than ours.

Turnoff topic 4: How beautiful the scenery is.

When confronted by natural beauty, men prefer to contemplate it in silence. Women, for some reason, feel compelled to talk at just the moment when we most want quiet. I spent a week on a Mediterranean island with a group that included four women who never met a sunset they couldn’t ruin. (”That pink is so deep. I think it’s, like, the deepest pink I’ve ever seen.”) They failed to get the joke when my friends and I tried to give them a taste of their own medicine: “Look at that water! It’s just, like, so wet.”

Turnoff topic 5: Who your favorite celebrities are dating.

Demi and Bruce break up/make up; Oprah gains/loses 20 pounds. We don’t care. Pamela Lee opens her mouth real wide and accommodates all of Tommy’s manhood? Okay, we care. As a rule of thumb, unless they’re naked, we don’t want to know. Men have far too hard a time keeping up with their own relationships; the last thing we want is the responsibility of keeping up with the lives of people we’ll never meet.
