Fashion....

An Awe-Inspiring Look in Menswear

July 31, 2010

Dolce & Gabbana (D&G) presented an exciting and rousing mainly black, white and grey lineup in their fall show in Milan and it was HOT based on the video I reviewed! 

The models were wearing knits over trousers which narrowed at the bottom as they paraded the catwalk against a huge screen backdrop showing scenes of "Baaria" while a soothing piece of instrumental music simulated your senses...injecting a bit of the God Father into their presentation.

These sexy hunks wore vests tucked into black washed-out jeans or long-john type trousers and shorts. White shirts were sleek and tucked into jeans or black trousers. The look was further accessorized with black caps and boots.

This collection of these luxurious pieces with a sensual, masculine, classic appeal gave new meaning to the bad boy Sicilian feel and the return to the well made traditional clothing.

The staging was incredible as the men walked out quickly in groups.  Presenting themselves like they were at a meeting (not your typical boardroom meetings) or a political rally if you get my drift.  There were plenty of suits, leather jackets t-shirts on these hunks and believe me ladies if you had been a buyers at this show you would have said, “I’ll take two of each”. 

One thing is certain that’s one sure way to help sell the heck out of your designer clothing and D&G did an impeccable job. I know...it worked on me and I wasn’t even there!

Health for July 31st....

Reducing Stress at the Work Place

Employers should provide a stress-free work environment. Stress in the workplace reduces productivity, increases management pressures, and makes people ill in many ways, evidence of which is still increasing. Workplace stress affects the performance of the brain, including functions of work performance; memory, concentration, and learning. Stress also provides a serious risk of litigation for all employers and organizations, carrying significant liabilities for damages, bad publicity and loss of reputation. Dealing with stress-related claims also consumes vast amounts of management time. So, there are clearly strong economic and financial reasons for organizations to manage and reduce stress at work, aside from the obvious...humanitarian and ethical considerations.

If you are stressed, do one or all of these things, in whatever order that takes your fancy. 

1. Humor.  It works because laughter produces helpful chemicals in the brain and it gets the brain thinking and working in a different way.  And distraction is a simple but effective de-stressor.
2. Brisk Walk and Self-Talk.  Go for a short quick really brisk walk outside.  Yes, this means leaving the building. Breathe in some fresh air and smell the atmosphere: trees, rain, flowers, even the traffic fumes but stimulate your senses with new things.
3. Rehydrate.  Go get a big cup of a bottle of water. Most of us fail to drink enough water, not tea, coffee, coke or whatever sports drinks but simply water.  If you starve your body of water you will function BELOW your best and you will get stressed – physically and mentally.
4. Make a cuppa. Any tea will do, but a flavored cup like mint tea is even better.  The ingredients take your mind off your problems and then smelling and drinking the tea also relaxes you.
5. Crying.  When all else fails. Crying and tears believe it or not have a powerful effect on stress levels.  A good bout of sobbing and weeping does seem to release tension and stress for many.  However, how and where you choose to submit those emotional impulses is up to you.  The middle of the boardroom during an important presentation with a top client is probably not the best idea.
6. Catnap or powernap.  Take a quick nap.  It is nature’s way of recharging and re-energizing.
