FROM ITS GLORIOUS DAYS, ITS ORIGIN, ITS

The
second style of the early Armenian manuscripts painting is the Cilician
style. A very beautiful, colorful, rich, vibrant, humanistic and detailed
brighter and happier art. Tens of thousands of illuminated manuscripts were
produced in the times of medieval Armenia. Unfortunately many perished.

CONTROVERSIES
t1.Too
pretty and too sexy for Italian television. After decades of
weather bulletins presented by military colonels in full uniform, Italian
television got its first weather girls last September. But the outlook does
not seem too bright for the first to hit the airwaves, a former Miss Italy.
She has already run into trouble for being too sexy. Italian TV is infamous
for its scantily-clad girls, who are a regular feature - dancing, presenting
or just looking pretty - usually alongside a much older, less attractive male
presenter. But Eleonora Pedron, 21, proved there is such a thing as too sexy
for Italian TV when she was suspended for doing a rather raunchy magazine
spread in Capital magazine, sporting only a G-string.

HOWARD STERN VS.
OPRAH.
The
American tabloid magazine reported that on March 18, millions of Americans
watched an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, during which an O, The
Oprah Magazine writer described in jawdropping detail, the latest fads in
teen sex. Viewers learned that a "tossed salad," had little to do with healthy
eating, but instead referred to oral sex to the anus. The guest went on to
describe "rainbow" parties -- gatherings at which a gaggle of lipstick-
wearing girls provide oral sex to one or more males. For this, declares shock
jock Howard Stern, 50, Oprah should come under the same scrutiny as he has
over his notoriously raunchy broadcasts. Since 1990, the Federal
Communications Commission has levied fines, totaling close to $2 million,
against Howard's show...
CONSPIRACIES
THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY: Who
Killed Kennedy? That is the question! Why they killed Kennedy? This is the
second biggest question! Nobody really knows except those who were involved.
But who are those people who
designed
and executed the most famous and infamous assassination-plot-cover-up and
enigmatic intrigue of the 20th century? There are so many theories
and possibilities encompassing the “One Bullet Theory”, “The Three Bullet
Theory”, “The New Orleans Connection”, “The Marseilles Connection”, “The
Corsican Killers Connection”, “The Mafia Involvement”, “The Castro
Involvement”, “The Jimmy Hoffa’s Group Connection”, “The FBI Hoover Cover Up”,
“The Lyndon Johnson Involvement”, “The Oswald-KGB Involvement”, you name it
and you will find a fertile terrain...

GAY PARIS IN THE 20s and
30s: Background, People, Places, Personalities, Hospitality,
Restaurants, Food, Wine, Pleasure, Style, Fashion, Arts, Poetry, Music
and Adventure. According to Maximillien de Lafayette. Mon Dieu! To be and live
in Paris during "Les annees folles", between the end of 1917 and 1934,
especially if you were an eccentric artist, an intellectual adventurer,
a frou-frou femme fatale, a genius or an independently wealthy American,
willing to spend a lot of money on arts, dating and women. Ask
Madonna, Paulette Attie, Penelope de Vassy and Louise de
Chambertin. Really "real" America's la crème de la crème was there.
The "real" American high society, the privileged class, the snobs
(Although it was too early for the Americans to know how to be a snob),
les bourgeois, wealth filthy characters, the hustlers with a style, the
scandalous adventurous women, the schmoozer and the cruisers, the
handsome gigolos, the champagne, the caviar, the kisses and the misses,
sex, the drama and all the "chic" pleasures of the era. Hemingway was
here. Paramour Stein too. Why Paris - what made everybody want to come
here and create, and drink, and dance, and paint, and write stories or
invent them? Women? obnoxious, over-cultured and over-sophisticated
Frenchmen? Bubbly champagne? Sinfully good wine? Nice plat de fromage? A
nostalgia? A fantasy? A new social, political and artistic era? A modern
Parisian revolution? Yes! Yes! All of the above!

FASHION 2005.
Despite the doe-eyed models,
miles of muslin and yards of silk, the common man managed to catch and keep
the spotlight at Brazil's biggest designer event, Sao Paulo Fashion Week. The
watchwords at this year's event, were sales and jobs. An entire floor of the
Sao Paulo Biennale Pavilion was transformed into a fashion salon, a polite
word for a beehive of functional conference rooms where sales...

t32.THE
MOST ELEGANT, THE BEST AND THE WORST DRESSED STARS IN AMERICA.
"You have one minute to impress, 30 seconds to catch the moment and just 3
seconds to make a lasting impression." Once, wrote Maximillien de Lafayette in
his book on world protocol and etiquette. And how you can you impress by
catching the moment in less than 3 seconds without saying a word? Simple:
Dress to kill. Dress for Success! Be Elegant and Refined. Elegance is the key.
Remember, nowadays stars don't create fashion anymore as did the femmes
fatales of the golden era of Hollywood, thanks to Valentino..
