Calzedonia – Italian Swimsuit selection 2008

Recently I presented the collection of La Perla. This is definitely one of my favorite times of the year.

2008-02-23 22:58:00
Every year I have the opportunity to present a couple of beachwear designers. La Perla is known for its exclusive lingerie but the bathing suites and throws are none less titillating. Last year was all about bright colors. The 2008 line is soft fabrics with exotic prints. The natural tone colors almost disappear against a well tanned body. Most...

High Heels may improve your sex life

A study by Maria Cerutti of the University of Verona caught my attention. Without a doubt I have a weak spot for spikes. Interestingly this study has been picked up by numerous worldwide news agencies in conjunction with a series on the lack of passion in couples married more than five years. I guess the news agencies see spikes like I do. They... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Girl’s Fashion Spring Summer 2008 – BluGirl
2008-02-07 00:18:00
Blugirl is a line of BluMarine. Their outfits are specifically designed for the young woman 15 to 22. I enjoyed shopping with my daughters. This is not to say they ever listened to me. I believe Daddy’s wallet was much more interesting than Daddy’s opinion. Just the same I will offer my thoughts on this year’s Tween fashion. BluGirl takes its... [[ This is a content summary only.

Fashion Gone Bad – Dell Acqua - Women’s Fashion Spring Summer 2008

Please, do not wear this stuff! I am not sure what message Alessandro Dell Acqua is trying to communicate with the 2008 Spring Summer Women’s line. It is not just about the veil thin fabrics or the weird combination of blocks and triangles. Most of these outfits look like they were designed by a kindergarten student during art class.

The winter doldrums are fading. The days are getting longer and the overcast skies are slowly giving way to Spring temperatures.

Lupicaia IGT 1999 – Pleasure in a bottle
2007-11-21 01:42:00
Lupicaia, an IGT Super Tuscan by Rossi di Medelana, is gluttonous pleasure. It costs about $150 retail and $250 in a restaurant. This positions Lupicaia out of the pocket book of many wine lovers but the price quality relationship is much better than most of those $500 a bottle wines. It has been a while since I have purchased an expensive wine.... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

I can imagine that many are checking their wine cellars right now to see just how many bottles of Ornellaia are on the shelves. Before you break you neck jumping down the stairs to open the doors of newfound riches, patience. Ornellaia is a wonderful wine. It is one of my favourites.
