@chella For the Ancestry Visa you need a parent or grandparent born in the UK. Failing that though, I'm pretty certain you can get a Visa being from the Commonwealth.

Wrote 'Knee high socks: women's fashion trend'
In a year in which thigh high boots will be so prominent, this fashion trend should come as no surprise. Normally a humble accessory that most women hide, socks as a women's 2010 fashion trend will be at the fore. And whilst there'll be several styles of socks popular in 2010, knee high socks (and similar styles) will be one of the defining looks to work into your wardrobe. Best of all, they're transeasonal and will be perfect alongside a number of other Winter 2010 and Spring 2010 fashion trends.

@chella Organising it? You need to start getting the $$ in. You should also be looking at booking your flights asap, they're always cheapest further out, and there are specials now. Might go myself.

@chella You're going to need a bucket load then. Sterling is weaker, which is at least in your favour, but as a result the jobs are few and far between.

Generating a level of interest and excitement that no other fashion catwalk (or fashion week) can possibly compete with, the 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was the lingerie house at their best. Some of the world's most beautiful women and lingerie that ranged from the demure to the daring was all packed into one show, and Fashionising.com has the pictures: Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2009 pictures.

New fashion trend
We have a new 2010 fashion trend report out: bleached eyebrows. Perhaps it's one of the fashion trends best suited to editorials and the brave?

I always love to dress well. That doesn't always mean dressed up, but I try to never dress down. I'm a creature of habit, so you'll nearly always find me wearing my favourite brands.Favourite Labels
I have two staple designers: Sir Paul Smith and Ralph Lauren. You'll often find me out in one or the other, and when it's the latter my preference is towards Ralph Label Black Label or Purple Label (though the story themed pieces from Blue Label can still be fantastic). 2008 has seen my tastes head more Continental, and I've completely fallen in love with the recent Gucci seasons. If only they were properly stocked in Melbourne I might be able to buy some pieces!Other favourites include: Ted Baker (poor man's Paul Smith, but still a fantastic designer. Met him, his names not really Ted Baker, sorry to shock), Pringle, Thomas Pink, Lacoste, Fred Perry, Aquascutum, Burberry.
Something You Should Know
I can't get no satisfaction. Cliché. True.Interests
Horse riding, polo business, travelling through Europe (particularly through the United Kingdom), good films, enjoying life and making the most if it, history, particular causes such as architecture preservation, monarchy, fashion, flâneuring, bimbling.For those who aren't already aware;
bimble - To amble without real aim, yet in a friendly and harmless manner. It's not required to acheive nothing, though it is a frequent side effect. Bimbling can be made a little more business like with a slight hunch of the shoulders.
flâneur Webster defines it simply as "an idle man-about-town," one of those fin-de-siècle dandies who ambled through the crowds of European cities in search of bustle, gossip, and beauty. I think of it more as walking through a city, simply for the sake of walking, absorbing it's culture and admiring its architecture.
Hates
Political Correctness Gone Mad - I hate political correctness, the PC brigade, and most everything they've done to society. If one more person tells me that I can no longer call it a blackboard and that I must call it a chalkboard instead, I'll punch them!Woolworths / Safeway / Big W / Dan Murphy's and the other crap they own for demolishing the following building in Caulfield and replacing it with some modern, fugly-arsed store. Hence, they'll never get another cent of my money.
Ikea. I have come to the conclusion that Satan owns Ikea. Either that, or he simply did their floor plan. Honest to God. They trap you in a maze, provide you with a half-dozen rooms that look really good, and then stick you in a warehouse and tell you to go for it. You can't find a single thing that you want, and when you can it's bigger than any of the stupid trolley's they provide! It's mass-produced garbage.
Music
The White Stripes, Badly Drawn Boy, Robbie Williams, Sir Paul McCartney, James Blunt, The Beatles, Girls Aloud (quite possibly something I'll never live down!!)Movies
About A Boy, Casablanca, From Russia With Love, It's A Beatiful Life, Cinema Paradiso, The English Patient, Two Weeks' Notice, Love Actually, The Maltese Falcon, Lawrence of Arabia, The Usual Suspects, Gone With The Wind, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (one of the most enjoyable films of 2005)Television
Little Britain, House, The Sopranos, the new Doctor Who (the old ones bore me to death), Top Gear (I'm not in anyway a car fan, but actually appreciate the show as a hilarious piece of comedy!), Grumpy Old MenReading
British GQ, Tatler, British Esquire, The Spectator, Ian Fleming novels, Haunted by James Herbert

Daniel,I loved your piece on Nudity in Fashion and did agree with most points. I do, however, think you missed one key element (1 element, and 1 contributing factor) on why Nudity is so prevalent in fashion these days. My feeling is, aside from a few models like Daisy Lowe and Laura Stone, the majority of models are still waif-like, Kate Moss types. Thin, talented, and employable models (like say someone with the initials of NP) while beautiful, simply do not embody the sexiness and appeal of supermodels of the 80s and 90s (amongst the True SuperModels are: http://www.fashionising.com/pictures/b--Timeless-supermodels-still-bare-all-for-fashion-2467.html). There are still some in this decade than can hold a candle to these ladies say, Gisele Bundchen, but truly there are few others I can think that have made such an impression as she has. I mean which other name can you think of has, like Gisele, the ability to be commercial, high-fashion and have the kind-of body that will down right "make a priest kick out a stained glass window"?. Even the aforementioned curvy types are somewhat androgynously depicted, as though there is a shame to there appeal or perhaps for fear of some type of backlash. Which leads me to my point... the de-sexification of women has allowed for a greater occurrence of nudity. Think about it. Young boys can flip through the average fashion mag without sporting wood. True women-loving-men like myself can admire a woman's eyes, hair, make-up, blouse, shoes and accessories without dirty thoughts! Most importantly, the (average) and above average woman is not offended, because she doesn't feel threatened. Anyone reading this thinking its a bit far fetched needs only look into the sort of feelings Marilyn Monroe or Jane Mansfield would illicit in their day (heck don't waste your time, we've all seen this photo: http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/loren_mansfield-297x300.jpg). The models of today have gone from an embodiment of the purest form to a type of canvass. Separating beauty from sex, leaves you with art ready to be displayed and accepted as such. This, plus the fact that we all have easy, regular access to an internet full of naked women, ensures we will continue to be more accepting of nudity and will see more and more of it in fashion. -mas |
