Perfume is thousands of years old - the word "perfume" comes from the Latin per fume meaning : "through smoke". One of the oldest uses of perfumes comes form the burning of incense and aromatic herbs used in religious services, often the aromatic gums, frankincense and myrrh, gathered from trees. The Egyptians were the first to incorporate perfume into their culture followed by the ancient Chinese, Hindus, Israelites, Carthaginians, Arabs, Greeks, and Romans. The earliest use of perfume bottles is Egyptian and dates to around 1000 BC. The Egyptians invented glass and perfume bottles were one of the first common uses for glass.
Perfumes... gosh! i love them!! ooouuuhhhhiiieeee!! they are the cutest things that happened to humans,(but the worst for the ozone layer :(.. ) fragrances have helped shape lives of most people! i love them. i cannot live without a bottle of perfume(or more..heheh and CHOCOLATES!)...The world's first recorded chemist is a person named lafaunda , a perfume maker who was mentioned in a Cuneiform tablet from the 2nd millennium BC in Mesopotamia. genius can be imprinted in the human genetic code, but wisdom is priceless!! thanks lafunda! your so b%#*y wise!!
and perfume ads are always soo ethereal...heheh... i hope the credit crunch doesnt cripple our sense of smell.

***Black and Gold...****(No,not Sam Sparro...lol)
When we think black (as fashionistas), we see -a color always ready for an occcassion , a color you can never go wrong in, a color made to save you when all is grave and you can't seem to pickout the perfect outfit for an event(with accessories,its fabulous,even for weddings)or work or play...on the contrary, most people think-gloomy, obscure, dusky, murky, dim, shadowy... heheh! who cares?? i loooveee BLACK!..
Gold- a strong defination is- yellow metallic element: a soft, heavy, corrosion-resistant, yellow metallic element that is highly valued, found in underground veins and alluvial deposits. but, i see - rich yellow hue... A meld of these two??!!! startling!! it always works! no matter how improperly balanced! like light and dark, one gives way for the other but the strong presence of the former in the existence of the latter is awesome!!... i picked out a few blend of gold and black pictures which i think are fierce!

Chic or Romance?
During fashion week, a question seemed to linger on between photogs and designers as to determining the theme of fashion week this season…The question was; "what do you think is the theme this season?chic or romance?”…most designers said romance, and a few agreed on chic! I think it is a fusion of chic and romance (yah) because, browsing through my older posts or reading through other fashion blogger’s pages concerning fashion week,(trust me a lot of blogger’s did a thing on fashion week!) you would notice the juxtaposition of these two elements! Most pieces were chic and romantic at the same time and ever soo colorful! Checkout these pieces and see if you agree with me..:):)

Street chic!
Natalie Portman*saying this in my sexiest drag voice*!! Love this street style…first of all, the contrasting blend of everything she’s wearing… that coat (ooouuhhh!!) is divine, and her ESPRADRILLES and her bag!! Love, love, love…if you look closely or zoom in, her dress has several colors in stripes: Pink, 3 shades of Blue (Sky blue, Navy blue, Pure blue)and Red. And guess what? The only blend to the red is her NAIL color…fierce!! Plus I love her tights!! tres chic! EFFORTLESS AND COMPLETELY IN TUNE WITH FALL STYLE AND THE COLD WEATHER!...

Its Chanel again!!
Ok, this one is called the fish purse…
Seems like it’s for Siamese twins (I do not mean that in a bad way…so, do not laugh!!) that’s the only reason why I would accept such catastrophe! Why isn’t this a nice long purse?(might be weird but I will appreciate it!)… what is this??? I HATE!!
This is just my opinion…what do you guys think? (Even though I’m not changing my opinion! lol) I bet coco will be flipping in her grave!
Chanel ski's...
But I like the Ski’s though…chic! But did they really have to make skis?? It’s just another ploy to make extra bucks (and it’s from Ski’s…aren’t there enough ski makers already who make pweedie perfect ski’s??)…lmao! .
PS; I’m going to dig deep to find who designed the purse and get back to y’all!!...heheh

FANTACALCIO DELLE STELLE 2008/2009
III GIORNATA
Giornata all'insegna della conquista della vetta da parte di Tronk e Berna che rispettivamente bastonano Nasca e Boccia rimasti entrambe in coda.
Sul dramma del Nasca mi e' poi giunta una soffiata anonima dei suoi segretissimi movimenti di mercato per correre ai ripari.
"Colpaccio di Nasca! Visti gli evidenti problemi di rosa, il pinguinito
ha deciso di correre ai ripari, al mercato di novembre tesserera' il
talentuoso trequartista cileno Juanfabio Rapaez soffiato a suon di
milioni ai maggiori clubs europei. La trattativa e' stata lunga e
difficile ma alla fine il nostro astuto cocorito l'ha spuntata. Per i
primi mesi la stella cilena alloggera' nel retro bottega del nasuto
assicuratore poi come da contratto avra' la sua villa con le
slot-machine promesse. Oggi in via S.Andrea la presentazione dell'asso
sudamericano, tra le sue tante doti si dice che, per chissa' quale
magia, il pallone gli rimane letteralmente "incollato" tra i piedi.
Che sia la svolta della stagione? Il presidente proboscitato se lo
augura vista la squadra di approssimativi che aveva messo in piedi..."

Sabato passato per il compleanno della Scottina abbiamo assistito all' ultima performance del complesso santostefanese dei VANZ che hanno approfittato per presentare il loro ultimo lavoro "UNPROFESSIONALS SURFERS".

President of the USA vs. President of fashion icons...
This post is totally random.i love these two men so dearly and they have created a huge impact in their various worlds of existence.Barrack obama is hopefully the next president of the USA,putting an end to parochial rulership,he is trying to CHANGE the face of US politics and has already succeded being the first ever BLACK man to make it this far,history is what he has created.he is concerned with the needs of the people and is plain and sincere in his approach to politics..his strength is a force to be reckoned with and he has proved that the people are a movement neccessary to the growth of a nation. and Karl lagerfeld is a fashion icon. his transition into coco chanels world,his love for black and white...his startling stamina and presence is beautiful...
Barack Obama is the first African American to be nominated by a major political party for president. A graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he served as president of the Harvard Law Review, Obama worked as a community organizer and practiced as a civil rights attorney before serving three terms in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. He taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. Following an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000, he announced his campaign for the U.S. Senate in January 2003. After a primary victory in March 2004, Obama delivered the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004. He was elected to the Senate in November 2004 with 70% of the vote.As a member of the Democratic minority in the 109th Congress, he helped create legislation to control conventional weapons and to promote greater public accountability in the use of federal funds. He also made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. During the 110th Congress, he helped create legislation regarding lobbying and electoral fraud, climate change, nuclear terrorism, and care for returned U.S. military personnel. After announcing his presidential campaign in February 2007, Obama emphasized withdrawing American troops from Iraq, energy independence, decreasing the influence of lobbyists, and promoting universal health care as top national priorities.

Karl Otto Lagerfeld was born 10 September 1938 in Hamburg, Germany, although it has been suggested that he was actually born in 1933. The German newspaper Bild am Sonntag has quoted his former teacher and classmates as confirming the earlier date. His older sister, Martha Christiane (a.k.a. Christel), was born in 1931. Lagerfeld also has an older half-sister, Thea, from his father's first marriage. His original name was Lagerfeldt (with a "t"), but he later changed it to Lagerfeld as "it sounds more commercial."Though Lagerfeld has stated that his father was Swedish, journalist Alicia Drake in The Beautiful Fall (Little, Brown, 2006) established that Karl's father, Otto Lagerfeldt, who made his fortune introducing condensed milk to Germany, was indeed German. According to Drake, Lagerfeld's mother, Elisabeth Bahlmann, was a lingerie saleswoman in Berlin when she met her husband and married him in the 90s.
Karl Lagerfeld emigrated to Paris in 1953. In 1955, at the age of 22, Lagerfeld was awarded a position as an apprentice at Pierre Balmain, after winning a competition for a coat sponsored by the International Wool Secretariat...and henceforth,he grew and evolved and morphed into a fashion divo!
The history of the two men were found at wikipedia...and i added some more from my brain.. mostly the first paragraph!
