Lasek sign with Puma

Posted on May 7, 2012 by admin

BMX legend Dave Mirra, as well as top skateboard vert competitor Bucky Lasek and reigning European Rallycross Champion Sverre Isachsen have joined forces with sports lifestyle brand Puma for a new endorsement deal just prior to the start of the 2012 Global Rallycross Championship, which begins on May 26 in Charlotte, N.C.

“Puma and Subaru’s strong histories in motorsport and the brands’ collective following across sport and lifestyle bring a new energy to Rallycross. The all-star, three-man driving team is captained by BMX legend and professional Rally athlete Dave Mirra,” said Puma in a press release.

“Stoked to be part of the new Subaru Puma Rallycross team,” said Mirra, a member of the Subaru Rally team in the USA and owner of Mirraco Bikes. Mirra left DC Shoes in January of this year and hinted at a new deal in the works, but has kept a low profile on the BMX scene for most of the year. He now joins a respected list of former Puma sponsored BMX pros that includes Troy McMurray, Mark “The Gonz” Gonzalez and many former members of the S&M and KHE Bicycles teams in the late ’90s.

Mirra’s signing with Puma is a not implicitly a BMX endorsement deal, but will most likely carry over into any future BMX endeavors Mirra undertakes.

“Mirra and the team will sport official fireproof Puma racing suits emblazoned with Zombie Cat graphics and a new performance racing shoe called the PRX Subaru. Puma will be releasing lifestyle footwear, tees and accessories inspired by the team and rally cars beginning in June,” says Puma.

Lasek left Vans in December of 2011 and has been without a shoe sponsor in the time since. Via Facebook, he made the following announcement: “I’m joining Dave Mirra on the newly formed Subaru Puma Rallycross team. Get a taste for what’s in store for the 2012 Global Rallycross Championship season.”

The six-round 2012 Global Rallycross Championships kicks off May 26 in Charlotte. The Global Rallycross Championship combines the best aspects of circuit racing, off-road racing and rally competition to deliver intense action in a variety of fan-friendly environments.

Offering dancing shoes for stars

Posted on May 7, 2012 by admin

The story of 30-year-old Jameel Shah is no less than a Bollywood movie. He ran away from home, in Bihar, when he was just 14-years-old, landed in Mumbai with his fingers crossed and 15 years later it is the realization of a dream he never dared to dream.

In 2007, Shah founded Shah Shoes is one of the only professional companies in India to make dancing shoes that are worn by the likes of Kylie Minogue to Kajol. Producing 150 pairs of dancing shoes every month, Jameel’s shoes cost anywhere between Rs 1,500 and Rs 3,000. He currently sells in Mumbai, but has plans for a PAN India presence.

A class VII dropout, Shah didn’t know anything about business or shoes and yet today he runs a shoe manufacturing outlet in Dharavi, Asia’s largest slum and a hotbed of entrepreneurial activities.

Having spent his childhood in the lanes of Dharavi, working in a leather tannery, selling mobile phone covers, chasing the friend who ran away with his money and even as a watchman to make ends meet, Jameel found his calling in the most unusual setting, a Salsa class.

His passion for dance let Jameel to start Shah Shoes with the Rs 5 lakh loan to buy 120 sq ft workshop space at Dharavi. Today, Shah Shoes is the only professional company in India to make dancing shoes. From tinsel-toed salsa stilettos and hip-hop pumps to tap dancing shoes and ballet flats, Jameel has it all carved out. He has a lean army of four to help him out.

But, what is the secret behind the success of Shah Shoes? “My dancing shoes are special because I make them in three pieces to make it comfortable and steady. We have some four-five workers who make those shoes. I have a workshop in Dharavi and I can buy the material from Dharavi itself. Sometimes people say, they want a particular colour and I don’t find the same colour or same material in Bombay, which is the main problem I face,” explains Shah.

Producing 150 pairs of dancing shoes every month, costing anywhere between Rs 1,500 and Rs 2,800, Jameel today has gross revenues of Rs 3 lakh. For this, he gives all credit to his mentor Sandip Soparrkar who not only gave him the moves but also helped him create the perfect dance shoes.

This Dharavi cobbler now has a celebrity clientele from Kylie Minogue to Katrina Kaif and Bipasha Basu. Currently, selling in Mumbai, Jameel has plans for a pan India presence.

However, it is not shoemaking that is Shah’s first love, dance is his first love. An assistant to Sandip Soparrkar, he has his name included in the Limca Book of Records 2006 for dancing continuously for 55 hours and 15 minutes. Shah was also crowned the National Champion for Latin Ballroom dancing in 2010. Putting his right shoe forward, Shah has recently opened a coaching center in his native place Doghra in Bihar.

Shoe designer Louboutin defends right to red soles

Posted on May 7, 2012 by admin

Dressed in a smart red checked jacket, jeans and steel-toed leather shoes, Louboutin was in London to open his first UK retrospective to mark the brand’s 20th anniversary at the Design Museum.

Louboutin told Reuters that the PPR Group were being extremely unfair in the court battle over red soled shoes.

“They lead out of luxury and they should know that luxury has identity signatures,” he said.

A US court rejected a request by Louboutin to stop the sale of YSL shoes that are red all over, including the soles.

“It’s very hypocritical because they themselves… own colors. I just don’t understand how you can say well, you cannot own a specific color on a specific place when you yourself own different colors.

“I’m a self-made person, I’ve run my own company for 20 years and this big massive group is able to hammer me, with the biggest amount of lawyers. They try to damage me, my company and it’s extremely unfair especially someone that I knew, who I thought was a friend, who just happened to be a very weak person,” he added.

The designer unveiled hundreds of pairs of shoes that he had created over the years, saying the journey had been “emotional” for him.

“If you integrate so much of your life, your professional life, your personal life, there is no way you cannot not be emotional about it,” Louboutin said.

The designer also defended his previous comments that women who cannot walk in his shoes, shouldn’t wear them and that wearing high heels is both pleasure and pain.

“When I do a shoe, I don’t want to evoke comfort… saying that suffering to be beautiful, it doesn’t work. It doesn’t give you nice smiles, that’s a sure thing.”

The exhibition Christian Louboutin features some of the designer’s most successful designs as well as his more creative interpretations such as crystal encrusted ballet slippers with an eight-inch heel for the English National Ballet.

Linen Shirts For Men

Linen Shirts For Men

You have your tickets in hand, your leaves been approved and you are just about as excited about the coming long weekend trip to the beach resort when suddenly the thought strikes you that years for being in the boardroom has left you with very little beachwear. By now you are also, used to being stylish and classy all the time and the garish floral print shirts that are there make you cringe inwardly. You want a wardrobe overhaul, you need one. And you try to zero in on what should the ideal buy under the circumstance. Linen shirts I say.

Linen shirts? Well yes, first let me give you a rough idea of why linen would be the best bet for you. A product of the flax plant, linen is an extremely comfortable summer fabric. Its unique characteristic of absorbing sweat (which you will have a lot of in a humid beach resort) and drying off easily keeps the body really cool on a hot summer day. At the same time as the day turns into an evening and the wind changes direction yet you do not want to get off the soft sand, then the same shirt also provides you a fairly decent protection from the slight dip in temperature. In other words, with one shirt you can consider yourself well attired throughout the day. Also the slight creasing being part of its casually chic look, you need not worry about a creased shirt to the dining hall. That’s the beauty of linen, it extremely chic in its casually formal look.

Not that this means that linen shirts for men are solely for the purpose of a casual outing or a beach holiday only. Not at all, linen shirts on all shades of browns, olives, beiges, rusts and indigos today have a fair market capture in the formal segment too. Especially since the advent of linen into the suit world, formal linen shirts too have become a rage, for the perfect team of that suit or for a semi formal gathering to be worn by itself or with a blazer.

But since here you are off to the beach for a holiday therefore, let’s stick to the casual yet chic look of a linen shirt. Wear it once and you will cringe to wear another fabric next to your skin so easily. As for the head turner than you will be, let’s not even talk about it.

The Bong Show

Posted on May 3, 2012 by admin

The Bong Show

Although reality television may seem like a roiling mess of a million shows the entire genre divides neatly into two categories. The first type is the reality of idleness which includes series like The Real World Jersey Shore and the Real Housewives franchise. Some of these realistas have jobs most shows feature a group enterprise or individual entrepreneurs sweating to convert TV exposure into bankable dough but the work is mere fodder for interpersonal conflict. We watch to see strangers being rude to one another. They remind us that awesome real estate and banging bods do not bring happiness.

At the other end of the spectrum is the reality of the workplace. This second group includes competitions like Project Runway and The Apprentice theyre season-long job interviews after all. There are also the more literal workplace dramas like The Millionaire Matchmaker and Deadliest Catch. These we watch for reassurance they remind us that even the coolest-sounding jobs are just as frustrating and stressful as our own.

The Discovery Channels motorcycle-and-firearm-filled reality lineup constitutes solid proof of that proposition. Apart from their titular patriotism American Chopper life at a family motorcycle business American Guns life at a family gun business and American Loggers life at a family tree-harvesting business all proffer the exact same message Outlaws theyre just like us

The latest additions to Discoverys roster of renegade workplaces deliver the same takeaway. Weed Wars which debuts Thursday at and Moonshiners which launches next Tuesday at both focus on strange people working hard in dubious professions. Weed Wars tells the story of Harborside Health Center in Oakland Calif the worlds largest medical cannabis dispensary which boasts an executive named Dave Wedding Dress. Moonshiners follows a Virginian named Tim who with the help of his good friend Tickle works to preserve the family tradition of brewing illegal hooch.

Dave Wedding Dress Tickle and their cohort are just like your co-workers only more distinctively attired. Steve DeAngelo Harborsides founder and executive director knows the importance of establishing a signature look and his standard attire could be described as Bolivian Indian long braids and a hat meets English gentleman regimental tie and windowpane-checked vest Wedding Dress who in the first episode at least is mostly used to represent the species oddballis canabidense likes to set off his Santa beard with a knee-length tie-dye jumper. And down in moonshine country Tim maintains a bib-overalls and no-shirt ensemble and speaks in a subtitles-requiring drawl.

Schools Ban Freakum Dresses, Infringe upon Students’ Steez

Posted on April 16, 2012 by admin

Schools Ban Freakum Dresses, Infringe upon Students’ Steez
The Wall Street Journal reports that high schools across the U.S. are preventing teens from reaching their full sexy potential this prom season by banning dresses that flaunt their hot young teen parts.And what, apart from nature/hormones/the way Aaron looks with his hair pushed back (sexy) is compelling teens to dress so revealingly? According to the experts and just about any person you might ask off the street: Hollywood.
Specifically, old-ass Hollywood. The Journal singles out Jennifer Lopez (age 42), the casts of the various Real Housewives franchises (most of whom appear to be in at least their late-sixties), and teen-favorite television program Dancing With The Stars (my Nana loves it but she doesn’t know who anyone is) as major inspirations behind sexy teens’ less-is-more sartorial aesthetic.Now, in order to get the message across to students they are not allowed to emulate their favorite premenopausal celebrities’ sexed up style of dress, administrators are putting together image-heavy PowerPoint presentations and throwing up posters illustrating banned looks.
While it might, at first, seem counter-productive to plaster the hallways with photos of beautiful models in skimpy formalwear, decorating the school with the precisely the kind of lustful imagery administrators are hoping to avoid on prom night, you can’t argue that these kids are dumb dumb dumb, dumb as doornails, dumb as their number one fashion icon Alexis from the Real Housewives of Orange County, dumber in fact, because she has an elegant line of non-couture couture acrylic dresses and they are putting a strip of duct tape over their nips and calling it “chic, prom-appropriate fashion.” And, unfortunately, these dum-dums only respond to pixxx.
In actuality, the rules these schools are peddling aren’t all that absurd: no fabric cut-outs below the bust line (“flesh touching flesh below the bust” to use the administrators’ own, vaguely erotic, wording), no hemlines higher than three inches above the knee, no boob-baring deep-Vs in front, no ass-baring deep-Us in back. Pretty standard stuff.The oddest item on any of the guidelines available on the Journal’s website comes, as surely a great many odd things must, from Sunnyvale, Texas, where the local high school has also instituted a prom-wide ban on “cosmetic contact lenses of a color not natural to a person, or patterned lenses (unless prescribed by a doctor).”

Tips And Advice For Sufferers

Posted on April 16, 2012 by admin

Tips And Advice For Sufferers

It is important that you have your cholesterol checked at least once a year if you have diabetes. Having diabetes increases your chances of developing high cholesterol, which can cause serious health problems like heart disease and stroke. There is a simple blood test called a fasting lipid profile that checks your cholesterol levels.

Add a little vinegar to your meals. Studies have shown that having a few tablespoons of vinegar before your meal can actually cause your blood sugar to rise slower than it normally would after a meal. Vinegar has the ability to slow down the digestion of starch and keeps your food in your stomach longer. If you can’t palate the vinegar straight, try adding a few splashes in a vinaigrette dressing on your salad before your main meal.

A crucial tip for diabetics is to shed excess pounds. Dropping extra weight is a great way to help the body use insulin properly, reduce blood sugar levels and regulate blood pressure. A beneficial side effect is the increased energy levels typically experienced by those who achieve significant weight loss.

To make sure your blood sugar levels don’t spike or plummet without you realizing it, check your blood sugar regularly and log the results. It’s very common for people to experience dramatic changes in their blood sugar with no initial symptoms. Carefully tracking your levels will help you avoid serious health problems like kidney failure or strokes.

Grab a handful of almonds to curb your hunger cravings while not upsetting your diabetic blood sugar levels. Unsalted almonds are full of fiber, protein, and other nutrients which are extremely healthy for you to ingest. Keep a bowl by the couch so you can grab some for a snack while you watch TV.

Aspirin can counter this risk. Ask your doctor if you should add aspirin to your daily treatment routine, since you should avoid aspirin if you have conditions like bleeding ulcers.
