Gucci has released a new version of Jackie bag designed by Frida Giannini, Creative Director of the company, to extend the glorious success of the flagship handbag of Gucci. The brand name "The Jackie" originally came out in 1950s for the preference of Jacqueline Onassis. Then the series was named after the gracious former first lady amiably with title.Fashion aficionados who are desperately

Skiing In SpainWhen we think of skiing, we often think of an expensive Alpine adventure. However, there are top flight less expensive spots where ample excitement is available, such as countless skiing experiences in diverse areas of Spain such as the Aragonese Pyrenees, Catalan Pyrenees and Andorran Pyrenees. These are Spanish mountain ranges with first-rate skiing facilities.It's a fact that

My husband and I decided to visit Poland back in 1993. Andrew was originally from Poland but I had never been there. Communism had just ended and the whole country was in a strange turmoil. I could sense it; the Polish people were in a hurry to westernize their country. There was a feeling of trauma and relief throughout the country. I witnessed scenes of beauty and scenes of horror.June 23, 1993

Travelers are seeking new experiences today. Bed and breakfast trends today are attracting people who want to completely get away from their rushed and busy daily lives. These people prefer to travel far from the city and out into the country. They prefer to stay where the hospitality is warm and personal. They prefer smaller hotels, not large impersonal hotels. They want quiet and peaceful

Human being is of curious nature. To discover new and exciting places, feasting the eyes with beauty of nature and meet with new peoples always excite anyone. To get these excitements people started traveling since very ancient days.In India travel was developed in the form of ‘Tirth Yatra’ (pilgrimage). ‘Shantanu’, the father of ‘Shravan’, and his wife were blind and unable to travel but they

I've taken a room at Stratego's, Oakapalloka's most famous scion. Here he snaps my picture as I study graphs of the Bush Recovery, and monitor a Chinese space flight.It's a beautiful house on the corner, a block from 'uptown'. This is one of those few very large houses from a century ago that weren't sectioned into apartments. When winter comes Stratego moves his media-room back upstairs

I sent hate-mail to an English-speaking Jihadist last night. Wow, the internet is amazing. I think I deleted the lines where I threatened to kill him, because I thought that might be illegal. But I left in the part about nailing his dick to the barn floor and setting the barn on fire (leaving him with a knife). So this morning I woke up and kind of freaked.Then guess what?

Mom has scheduled us for a family portrait this week. It's a great step for her, gathering her nerve after all these years. I remember the last time Mom attempted this, 38 years ago. She still cringes when she recalls the rebellion.It was after Sunday school and church in November of 1965.My two older brothers and my dad were learning what a ray of unwelcome, loving sunshine my mom could be, at

Please don't call these fucks at Trafalgar Square 'anti-war'. And don't ask me to credit the kids for being naive. They're listening to the speeches from the Muslim Alliance (or whatever it's called). They're adjusting their morals to fit that world view which abides suicide bombers.How can people be so off their beam nowadays? This is no 'loyal opposition' here. "Young men go crazy because of

I guess I won’t be moving into the apartments above the old Mercy Clinic downtown. It sounded right for me, living above The Batman pharmacy and the Peanut Pub, but the kid who owns the pub said the ex-cons are about as thick as the cockroaches. The cons tried to break in here three times this month, so far. The cops are called so often, all the officers have a key to the security doors.“Rent is

Everyone from the New York Times to National Review agrees that we f*cked up in Afghanistan during the 1980's.We abandoned Afghanistan then, according to the conventional wisdom.My question is, how exactly do people figure that after bank-rolling their liberation, we're somehow all the more responsible to babysit them and see them through to a civil society?

Moog writes on her blog:"well, what are we doing to welcome Bush into our lovely anti war country?i have Saturday morning free, so i could throw something then...like a petrol bomb....are the CIA letting people near him, or do we have to use remote control missiles?"I know this is tongue in cheek, but the sentiment isn't. I don't understand how youthful idealism could go so completely astray.

I deleted a ugly political post yesterday. Probably not soon enough. I should know better than to spew like that.Still an impulse here, though. Bush's trip to London tomorrow is worrisome. The reports I hear make it sound like the Brits will stage 1968 style riots.It's natural to be 'anti-war'. The passion is understandable. But so are the passions behind the overthrow of a murderous dictator.I

It’s five minutes round-trip to the Milky Way for drinks and cigarettes. Three minutes if there’s no one in line. Rarely, a half-hour if I end up behind some moron who’s surveying the smorgasbord of lottery tickets. (“Um. Give me one with the balloons. One with the cowboy.

Why am I up so late? Well I'm very excited, of course. We're about to have a weather event, almost like a Midwestern hurricane. Our weather service says the wind will start to blow 50 mph this morning at least, and it will last until late afternoon.I regard weather events as 'cover' for staying home. This will be like a vacation from guilt, for me. But of course I'm ruining it now, telling you.#

Here is the Drezner article that gives a black eye to the Center For Public Integrity, and debunks all the Halliburton nonsense. It was published 11/3, and referenced by David Brooks in the New York Times yesterday.I'm getting so slow here. Anyway, it's a bookmark.Watch as all that DNC/Hardball/Newsweek 'conventional wisdom' melts away. It's beautiful, like Spring.
