Dress Christ-missy

Here is what you can choose to wear for the Christmas bash!
Been a bad girl all year long? Here is how you can cover-up. Dress well and Santa might just be impressed! Please note when we say ‘what to wear’ it includes the plum cake in your hand and the presents as well simply because it’s CHRISTMAS TIME!!!



Christmas colours: You cannot avoid red and green this season. It has got to be both. Choose from deep or dark reds. Chestnut is in every Christmas season. In case of a colloquial party the snow cap or the soft antler hair bands is like oxygen- it is a must A nice sweater teamed with a pleated skirt or casual jeans gives you the offbeat angelic look.

Christmas Colors

And green not bright but bold green. In case of a party to create an impression at, wear a neat deep red dress; tie around yourself a huge green bow. Now Santa is definitely looking at you!

Bows for you: The Angels get’em and so do you! One big bow on you is more than enough for everyone to look at you. You can also venture into trying two small bows on your shoulders. You’ll look so cute you might receive an extra present.
Christmas Colors
If you want to be that sexy queen- wear a one shoulder dress in red or green red and cover the splice with one very big satin bow in the invert color. A simple black dress with one red and one green bow defines modesty even in heaven.

Scottish tartan skirts:
Best if kept short for obvious reasons. A decent pair of stockings which should not receive too much of attention and a nice pair of snug boots will get Santa to think about your chastity.

Best if teamed with a nice sweeter and if possible a red beret. You can also feature the mobster i.e. the Avril Lavigne look, with the skirt, get a nice gothic top with loads of eye make-up and some metal around your neck.
Christmas Colors
The Paragon, no matter what you wear or who you are, what matters during Christmas is weather you are happy and smiling. The jauntiness can guarantee you at least one present. Try and be nice to everyone and remember Joyeux Noël et bonne année……eh that meant MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Ski Vacations with Ski Clubs



There are many different types of clubs throughout
the world. In fact, there is a club or organization for
just about everything that you can imagine! Skiing is
no exception. Ski clubs are a great way to learn new
things, and to go on ski vacations with other
members. In fact, ski club members often get
discounted rates on ski vacation packages.
Skiing Vacations
No matter where you live, there is a ski club near
you. This is true even if you live in a place that does
not ever get snowfall! These clubs regularly get
together for trips to various mountains, ski areas,
and ski resorts. Some are local clubs, meaning that
the slopes that they ski on are within driving
distance, while others are more national or global,
which means that they not only ski locally, if
possible, but they also plan ski trips.

Again, members of ski clubs. often receive deep
discounts on ski vacation packages. Arrangements
are usually made through the club, so that everyone
is eligible for the discounts. The money that is
required from each member for the trip is usually
paid to the club, and the club passes the funds on
to pay for lodging, airfare, meals, lift tickets, and
other perks that are included in the trip. Because
arrangements are being made for a group of people
– which is usually fairly large – discounts are given.
This benefits all members of the club.

The discounts aren’t the only thing to be excited
about. These clubs get together regularly – even if
they aren’t getting together to ski. They join together
for other activities as well, such as cookouts and
fundraisers. Many ski clubs do annual fundraisers to
help less fortunate families and children at Christmas
time. Others do annual fundraisers to help preserve
the environment – which is usually a topic of great
importance to skiers who love being out in the wide
open spaces and fresh air.

While skiing is what brings these groups together in
the first place, it is not necessarily what keeps them
together. Their love of a common sport, and their
common interests and feeling of community is what
keeps them together – and it keeps them skiing
together for years and years. If you are a skier, you
should definitely consider joining a club. It doesn’t
matter – in most cases – what level you are at.
Beginners are usually welcomed, and this is a great
way for beginners to quickly improve their skills and
techniques out on the slopes.

The History behind the New York Post

New York is known for many things, the Statue of Liberty, New York fashion week and among other things, HBO's Sex and the City. But before we forget, oftentimes overshadowed by the immensely popular the New York Times, there's another popular New York daily newspaper that has actually been around as far back as in the 1800s.
New York City
The New York Evening Post or the New York Post, was actually founded by Alexander Hamilton, who then chose William Coleman to be its first editor-in-chief way back in the New York Post's humble beginnings. After William Coleman's short reign as the New York Post's editor-in-chief, he was then replaced by another William, a William Cullen Bryant, way back in 1829. A fruitful 50 year reign as the New York Post's editor-in chief, William Cullent Bryant was a staunch believer of defending the rights of those who are being enslaved, William Cullent Bryant also showed strong support for the emerging trade union back then. He even went as far as defending the strike of the Society of Journeyman Tailors by trying to link their strike with slavery back in June 1836.


The year 1881 had the New York Post welcoming Henry Villard at its helm. Henry Villard was a German immigrant possessing strong political views, had a profound influence on the New York Post. He then tapped Carl Schurz who was another German radical thinker to be the new managing editor of the New York Post. But Carl Schurz career with the New York Post was short-lived, he was actually replaced by the former editor of the Nation (another publication that was owned by Henry Villard), a man named Edwin Godkin stepped up to manage the New York Post.Henry Villard's death back in the 1900s brought the New York Post to the hands of Villard's son, Oswald Garrison Villard, who, like his father, also had radical views and opinions concerning politics, women's suffrage, reform in the trade union and (like his father) fighting for equal rights African Americans.

A true advocate for human rights, Oswald Garrison Villard was one of the founding members of the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People or NAACP as well as the American Civil Liberties Union or ACTU. In spite of being headstrong with his advocacies, Oswald Garrison Villard was also a popular pacifist, he highly opposed for the American's participation in the first World War. But this proved to backfire on him as his readers were strong supporters of patriotism so Oswald Garrison Villard, due to the protests of his readers and the pulling out of his advertisers, was forced to sell the New York Post in the year 1918.1939 saw the New York Post with Dorothy Schiff at its helm. Schiff then asked Ted Thackrey as its new editor-in-chief, who actually turned the daily into a streamlined tabloid. Still its politics driven format was still being incorporated by the New York Post's new editor-in-chief, it highly supported progressive politics and was actually the only newspaper in New York City who openly supported the campaign of the democratic party's presidential bet, Adlai Stevenson.

But Schiff's stay with the New York Post ended with Australian Rupert Murdoch acquiring the newspaper back in 1977.
