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...

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..
tWHAT
TO WEAR WHEN YOU ARE PREGNANT, BY MAXIMILLIEN de LAFAYETTE:
Even before you
get a proper 'bump' you may find your waist thickens, making it hard to fit
into your tightest clothes. You may be able to adapt your clothes for a while
- leaving the top button undone on trousers might be enough, and you can hide
the gap with a longer top. Lots of today's maternity clothes can be worn after
pregnancy, too, and some styles of normal clothes are well suited to covering
growing bumps...

TIMES, PLACES AND PEOPLE.

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!

What so special about these women? Are
they the most intelligent and captivating human beings in the world? NO! Have
they contributed the most essential and the most needed help, knowledge and
wisdom to the society and world of excellence, humanities and human science?
t17.FILM.
Woman's erotic presence as a pivotal
necessity in art films and documentaries. A secret stash of naughty silent
films turned up in a Paris attic, and producer Michel Reilhac knew he had to
put them on the big screen.
Our great-grandparents were rather less prudish
than we might imagine. Decades before pornography became big business, naughty
French people were making dirty films for the fun of it. In The Good Old
Naughty Days, a collection of 12 silent films from the earliest years of the
20th century, nuns, priests, teachers - even a dog - play out sexual dramas in
a wide variety of inventive positions, locations and logistical
arrangements...

CINEMA. A movie which depicts Nazi
dictator Adolf Hitler's softer side has topped the German box office.
The Downfall attracted 480,000 viewers in its opening weekend, distributor
Constantin Film said on Monday. The film shows Hitler's humanity as well as
his diabolical nature, as it depicts the final 12 days of his life.
The DVDs of the original Star Wars trilogy have broken a UK sales
record after one day of release. Internet retailer
Amazon received more than 85,000 pre-orders for The Star Wars Trilogy, beating
the 50,000 high of Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

Trying to eat more of the right things does not mean 'going on a diet',
especially not one of the quick-fix diets so many celebrities are keen to
endorse. True, you may lose weight with one of these, but it could well be
only temporary. And you're likely to be less healthy as these diets don't
provide all the nutrients you need...
