...“professional” looks like is ever evolving. A balanced wardrobe that can multi-task and work overtime is the key to success. This season my staple pieces are little retro and menswear inspired. “There is a myth that professional clothes are boring and stiff.” How has your style evolved over the years? When I started out traveling for work, I was working for a conservative hotel company. I was required to wear panty hose, closed toed shoes and a matching suit set. I always wanted to get away from this type of attire. How do you transform classic business attire into your own style? There are so many ways to make a classic outfit look more modern. A classic suit is an easy outfit to pack for a business trip. I will make the classic suit more modern by adding a cute scarf or a broach. I also like to wear oxfords instead of the classic pump. How do you take an outfit from day to night when you are a convention? Layering is the key. I wear a lot of pieces that I can layer. For the evening, I will remove or add a layer (shirt, jacket, sweater, etc.) to make it look more appropriate for the evening. A little black dress or dress suit are both great options for layering. YAs an example, I recently wore a black leather dress with a white dress shirt underneath it during the day. For the evening, I took the white shirt off and just worse the dress. Changing shoes can also change your look. How do you decide which shoes to pack? COMFORT IS KEY: In my line of work, I attend a lot of travel tradeshows...

... Buckles1 Lindsey Jones English 1010 a23 September 12, 2012 Mrs. Clause I’ll never forget dodging through the different isles at the Dollywood gift shop, my eyes darting back and forth desperately searching for my dad’s red ball cap, my heart had to be beating a thousand times a minute and I started to feel a knot well up in my throat. I was lost. I had to be around eight years old when my family decided to take their first trip to the overrated, overcrowded, overheated amusement park, and like any kid would be, I was ecstatic about it. Little did I Know I would end up getting myself lost, almost giving my mom a heart attack, and making friends with a lady named Mrs. Clause. Before the chaos began I had been running around the park with my brother, sister, and three cousins riding as many rides as we could trying to fit the whole Dollywood experience in during one day. Eventually the adults had as much Dollywood as they could handle and decided it was time to head on home. I clearly remember my whole family of twelve shuffling through the Dolly gift shop on our way back to the trolley, unfortunately at that age the stuffed animal section at any shop always seemed to catch my attention and I couldn’t help but stop and check out Dolly’s furry friend collection. I was on cloud nine digging through the adorable plush pile of animals looking for the perfect one for me, when I found Rooty,...

...Children’s clothing and toys play a large role in socialization and with the all the stereotypes surrounding gender specific items this seemed like a very interesting area to research. My research question is: How does stereotypes of children’s clothing and toys influence gender identity? Literature Review: In Jane Little and Carol Martin’s (1990) study, “The Relations of Gender Understanding to Children's Sex-typed Preferences and Gender Stereotypes,” “Once children can accurately label the sexes, they begin to form gender stereotypes and their behavior is influenced by these gender-associated expectations. A cognitive component related to the sex-typing process, however, certainly does not preclude the significance of biological and socialization influences” (Little & Martin, 1990, p. 1437). In this study it showed that boys tended to choose more masculine clothing and the girls feminine items like dresses and frilly items. Toys were also presented to the boys and girls; boys choose more masculine typed toys like trucks, tool kits, motorcycles, army men. The girls choose toys more feminine like Barbie dolls, doll clothes, doll and crib, purse and a beauty kit (Little & Martin, 1990). In Clyde W. Franklin II (2010) study, “Becoming ‘Boys,’ ‘Men,’ Guys,’ and ‘Dudes.” Gender roles were discussed in cases where parents treat children differently depending on the sex of the child. Parents of one and two year olds tend to choose items more masculine and neutral type toys...

...Katie is helping her mother get her Magic Shop ready for Halloween – which as every kid knows is is on October 31 !!! (sorry we got that wrong in our song, ‘Don’t Be Scared of Halloween’) . Katie’s Great Aunt Chloe is coming to stay for Halloween. Unfortunately her Great Aunt always makes Katie embarrassed by being just too “witchy”. She can’t resist flying on her broomstick and doing other tricks that draw attention to the fact that the family are witches. This song features incidental music by Gabriella and Jay. And Natasha has made a Pumpkin Dance to go with the music and song (There are instructions in the story and you can read them in more detail on the song’s page). Read by Natasha. Story by Bertie. Duration 20 minutes. Katie’s Halloween Aunt Hello, This is Natasha, and I’m dropping by with Halloween Story about our own Katie the Witch. I was just wondering, do you have any relatives that make you feel, well, just a bit embarrassed? You know, perhaps they dress in bad taste, or dance terribly at parties, or make awful jokes. Katie had a relative a bit like that. Her name was Great Aunt Chloe, and you can meet her in this story. The trees were turning golden brown, the squirrels were busy burying conkers in the park, and the witches were getting ready for Halloween. For Katie’s mum, this was the busiest time of the year in her shop called the Magic Lantern. If you wanted to be a classy witch or a snazzy goblin, The Magic Lantern was the place to come...

...AFRICAN PRINTS IN RETROSPECT: A CASE FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT Abstract The paper investigated the nature of machine-produced fabric commercially termed African prints by focusing on a select sample of these prints. It established that the general design characteristics of this print are an amalgam of mainly Javanese, Indian, Chinese, Arab and European artistic tradition. It also explores the desirability and choice of certain design characteristics discovered in a wide range of African textile traditions from Africa south of the Sahara and their application with possible design concepts Akinwumi (2008:3) African print was developed from batik, the latter being of Indian origin. Batik diffused from India to Indonesian islands and Japan while its subsequent perfection was made possible by the Javanese before the thirteen century. Because batik was of Hindu origin, its sacred importance was associated with women’s birth, initiation, marriage etc. The Javanese developed a high level of batik artistry before they were colonized. They produced many symbolic and non-symbolic patterns. While under the rule of the Indians, Chinese, Islamic clerics and the Dutch, the Javanese were influenced by an influx of new ideas from the cultures of their overlords. Consequently, some Chinese mythology and Buddhist themes were borrowed and incorporated in their batik. And greater development of geometric designs was made manifest more than before during the short period Java was made an Islamic state...

Toy aisles and clothing rails are packed with this shade, but is nothing but pink for girls harmful? How different it was in the early 1900s, when blue was for girls and pink for boys. Any colour so long as it's pink | The Women's Journal explained it thus: "That pink being a more decided and stronger colour, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl." DressMaker magazine agreed. "The preferred colour to dress young boys in is pink. Blue is reserved for girls as it is considered paler, and the more dainty of the two colours, and pink is thought to be stronger (akin to red)."

Their daughter Josie was three and their son Clem three months old. They wanted to record the moments when their children were made aware of gender stereotypes; when they were directed towards a view of the world in which girls and boys inhabit separate, rigid spheres of pink and blue – the first sphere passive, pretty and gentle, the second aggressive, active and strong. The results were tweeted under the title Baby Gender Diary, and Ball, a broadcast journalist who lives in London, couldn't...

...SOME PSYCHOGRAPHICS PROFILES OF INDIAN WOMEN Rama Devi, the Contended Conservative The lady lives a 'good' life - she is a devoted wife, a dotting mother of two school-going sons, and a God fearing housewife. She has been living her life by the traditional values she cherishes - getting up at the crack of dawn, getting the house cleaned up, having the breakfast of 'Aloo Parathas' ready in time before the children's school-bus honks its horn, laying down the dress her 'government servant' husband will put on after his bath, and doing her daily one-hour Puja. She fasts every Monday for the welfare of her family, looks at the 'freely mixing' and 'sexually liberal' youngsters with deep disdain and cannot understand the modem young woman' s 19reed' for money, jewellery, and jobs. Her one abiding interest outside the household is the Ganesh Mandir that she has visited every Wednesday, ever since she got married. She lacks higher education and hence has little appreciation for the arts, the literature, and the sciences. Her ample spare time is spent watching the TV, which is her prime source of entertainment and information. Shobha, the Troubled Homebody Shobha married young to the first person she fell in love with, Prakash. Four children came quickly before she was quite ready to raise a family. Now, she is unhappy.

...her, pointing out that shooting your husband is "a little too obvious" and "not very creative." Dick Andrews, who had farmed the fertile soil around Merry Valley for over thirtyyears, believed that Larry fackson, more than anyone else in town, needed to be killed. "I never liked him much," he wrote in the additional comments section of the incident survey. "He never seemed to have a good word to say about anybody." "Excellent use of a bullet," scrawled fimmy Blanchard. Born and raised in MerryValley, he had known Larry for years and had even graduated from high school with him. 'lMost overbearing person I've ever met. He deserved what he got. I'm just not sure why it took so long." Of course, a few people made waves. |enny Collins seemed appalled. "I can hardly believe it," she wrote. "We used to be much more discerning about who we killed, and we certainly didn't go around flaunting it the way Linda does." |enny was the old-fashioned kind. Linda would never have called her actions "flaunting it." Of course she knew what to do after shooting Larry. She had readThe Enforcement Handbookfrom cover to cover six times, poring over it to see if she had missed anything, scrutinizing every nuance. She had even committed some of the more important passages to memory: Call the police immediately after executing an enforcement-Always keep your red card in a safe, dry place-Never reveal to anyone that you have a red card-Be...

...Romania Research Romania, the official language, is derived from Latin; it is in the same linguistic family as Italian, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Indeed, it is alleged that a fluent speaker of Italian can communicate fairly well with the Romanians if the speaker knows the Italian dialect used around Genoa. Some 90 percent of the population belongs to the Romanian Orthodox Church. The remainder of the population is Roman Catholic, Jewish, Calvinist, Islamic, or atheist. Romania is on Central European Time, two hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (G.M.T. + 2) and seven hours ahead of U.S. Eastern Standard Time (E.S.T. + 7). Cultural Orientation The more educated the participants are, the more they will use objective facts to define the truth. Subjective feelings are still strong, but faith in an ideology, other than freedom, does not cloud the issue of truth. As the movement toward freedom and privatization advances, it puts the responsibility for decision making on the shoulders of the individual. The individual may, in turn transfer this power to the group as a whole or to selected experts within the group. Business practices Appointments should be made well in advance. Appointments may be requested by mail. Business letters should be sent in English. Not only do Romanians expect to translate foreign letters, but such a letter is accorded more respect and attention than one written in Romanian. An interpreter will be necessary for the meeting unless...

Lastly Zoe the popular (jerk group). Hey well, I guessed it couldn't hurt to try. I text them on an old group message we used four years ago. I told them to meet me at our old spot the tree-house at 8:00. Daily after school we would always go there to gossip, talk about boys and just talk about life. I went there a little early just in case one of them showed up early. It was 8:05 I waited then 8:15, I started to lose faith until they all showed up. We all said hey, it was just awkward silence. I broke the ice by just being blunt by saying who they like to help me find Marley, kidnapper. They all said yes, we plan to meet tomorrow. I don't why I usually don't care what people think of me but today I wanted to dress to impress. Well I mean I do care what people think of me, mostly just Phoenix Black.
