The original French gamine—the actress who inspired a million pixie cuts—was a farm girl from Iowa. Jean Seberg was 17 when Otto Preminger plucked her from obscurity—and a pool of over 18,000 casting hopefuls—to star in his controversial retelling of the Joan of Arc epic. Preminger directed her again in Bonjour Tristesse, before New Wave auteur Jean-Luc Godard cast the close-cropped beauty opposite Jean-Paul Belmondo in his directorial debut, Breathless. The figure Seberg cut strolling down the Champs Élysées in that iconic New York Herald Tribune sweater made style news around the globe. 
Seberg grew out her blonde locks for what she considered her finest film, Lilith, in which she played a schizophrenic to Warren Beatty's hospital aide. Beatty's lefty leanings must've made a lasting impression: The FBI later labeled the actress a subversive for her support of the Black Panthers and authorized a false rumor that her unborn child wasn't fathered by her husband, Romain Gary, but by an African-American radical. Following a miscarriage and recurring bouts of depression, Seberg ended her life at the age of 41. Kirsten Dunst has said she'd like to star in a Seberg biopic, but perhaps casting agents should consider aspiring actress and model Mariacarla Boscono, who sparked a runway trend of her own with her peroxide-blonde pixie cut at the Fall collections.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers filed a lawsuit on November 19, 2007 against Showtime Networks over the name of the series, which is also the name of the band's 1999 album and hit single. They state in the lawsuit that the series "constitutes a false designation of origin, and has caused and continues to cause a likelihood of confusion, mistake, and deception as to source, sponsorship, affiliation, and/or connection in the minds of the public". Pointing to Dani California, a character that appears in both the series and three songs by the Red Hot Chili Peppers (including Californication) as well as confusion when shopping for the their album and that of the series soundtrack, the band members are seeking unspecified damages. They are also requesting that a new name be found for the TV show. Showtime Networks is expected to argue that the band did not in fact create the term Californication (a portmanteau of California and fornication). They claim that the term first appeared in print in Time Magazine in 1972, in an article called The Great Wild Californicated West .
Kim Walker, head of intellectual property at Pinsent Masons, points out that the band should have registered Californication as a trademark. Instead, the only application for such was filed in April, 2007 in the US, by Showtime. The mark has not yet been registered. Walker further notes:

"Successful songs, albums and movies can become brands in themselves. What's really surprising is how few songs and albums are properly protected," said Walker. "The Chili Peppers could almost certainly have registered a trade mark for 'Californication', notwithstanding Time's article. They made the word famous, but it doesn't automatically follow that they can stop its use in a TV show." "If they had registered the title as a trade mark covering entertainment services, I very much doubt we'd have seen a lawsuit. The TV show would have been called something else," he said. "As it is, the band faces an uphill struggle."

www.missbimbo.com - kurs za devojcice ili kako postati sponzorusa
0 comments Posted by kotang at 12:44 AM
Popularnost sajta „Mis Bimbo” potvrđuje tezu da sponzoruše nisu srpski izum, već – globalni fenomen.Šesnaestogodišnjoj Ani, vlasnici virtuelne Mis Bimbo, junakinje kontroverzne on-lajn igrice u kojoj devojčice kreiraju svoju „dvojnicu”, plaćaju joj usluge estetskih hirurga, frizera, šminkera i modnih dizajnera kako bi se ona što bolje udala, stiglo je upozorenje da je svoju lutkicu zanemarila celih nedelju dana i da što pre uplati novac za njene aktivnosti u Bimbolendu.Ana čini deo „sestrinstva” koje broji više od milion i po tinejdžerki širom sveta.One preko „pejpala” (način internet-plaćanja) kupuju bimbo dolare (za deset pravih dolara dobija se 31.500 bimbo dolara), a za te pare mogu da povećaju grudi i usta svojoj virtuelnoj dvojnici, da je svaki dan šalju u solarijum i na izbeljivanje zuba, da joj plaćaju usluge frizera i psihijatra i kupuju joj fenomenalne krpice. Na taj način, njihovoj Bimbo devojci skače rejting u digitalnom svetu sponzoruša.
Ova igrica namenjena je devojčicama od devet do šesnaest godina,a glavna junakinja u njoj život shvata kao jednu veliku žurku u kojoj pleše od frizera do solarijuma, od noćnog kluba do kastinga za foto modele, a na poslednjem nivou ove igrice ima priliku da osvoji milijardera.Autor prve modne on-lajn igrice, Nikolas Žakar (23)uveren je da tinejdžerke shvataju ironičnu dimenziju njegove kreacije i ističe da je u pitanju „bezazlena parodija stvarnosti” u kojoj su zatezanje lica, kupovanje erotskog rublja i uvećavanje grudi samo – igra. I dok moralisti tvrde da je u pitanju sajt za obuku sponzoruša, a cinici dodaju da ova video-igrica na veoma veran način preslikava stvarnost, svakoga dana više od 5.000 tinejdžerki kreira svoju virtuelnu dvojnicu i ludo se zabavlja u Bimbolandu.A na pitanje da li je igrica jednostavna reprodukcija stvarnosti ili je u pitanju on-lajn kurs za sponzoruše, psiholog Maja Antončić kaže da bi bilo licemerno postavljati Mis Bimbo na stub srama, jer je ona samo digitalna verzija Merilin Monro, pop ikone celuloidne trake iz prošlog veka, koja je našim mamama i bakama na veoma eksplicitan način objasnila „Kako se udati za milionera”.– Lov na muškarce čije se prezime „piše” sa nekoliko nula postao je omiljena zabava miliona devojčica koje su na oltaru punoletstva položile sve iluzije o ljubavi, koje se ne identifikuju sa Anom Karenjinom, Larom Antipovom i ostalim tragičnim junakinjama romana koje završavaju svoj život pod točkovima lokomotive. Naoružane silikonskim usnama, megabrushalterima i mikro suknjicama, one kreću u lov na muškarca koji će im obezbediti život na visokoj nozi, a to su naučile mnogo pre nego što je u njihovu mladost ušla ova on-lajn igrica – ocenjuje Maja Antončić.Svaki izlazak – ulaganje u budućnostNaša sagovornica dodaje da generacije devojčica rastu uz Barbiku i poruku da se „muškarci žene lepotom, a žene udaju za moć” i ocenjuje da je licemerno zgražavanje roditelja nad sajtom „Mis Bimbo” ako njihove kćerke svake večeri hrle ka beogradskoj Ulici Strahinjića-bana i pretvaraju „silikonsku dolinu” u beskonačnu modnu pistu u kojoj se sklapa više kupoprodajnih aranžmana
nego na njujorškoj berzi. Svaki njihov izlazak je, kako ocenjuje Maja Antončić, sudbonosno ulaganje u budućnost, a njihova tela najvažniji su ulog u lutriji čiji je glavni zgoditak spas od sobica na periferijama novobeogradskih blokova. Lepota je odavno postala viza za izlazak iz začaranog kruga siromaštva i prosečnosti.Simonida Milojković, autorka romana „Grabljivica”, u kojem skicira razvojni put sponzoruše, kaže da popularnost sajta „Mis Bimbo” samo potvrđuje tezu da sponzoruše nisu srpski izum, ni ekskluzivitet tranzicionih i siromašnih zemalja – one su globalni fenomen.– Da je junakinja mog romana usamljen slučaj, ja tu knjigu verovatno nikada ne bih napisala. Ali, kada sam shvatila da je broj sponzoruša u Srbiji poprimio razmere epidemije, osetila sam potrebu da skrenem pažnju javnosti na to. Zbog toga me i ne čudi velika popularnost ovog sajta za obuku sponzoruša. To samo znači da je tehnika uznapredovala. I gejše su obučavane da udovoljavanjem osvoje muškarca koji će ih kasnije izdržavati. Da se ne lažemo, ni naše bake nisu baš trčale da se udaju u siromašne kuće. I one su gledale da njihov izabranik ima kuću i okućnicu, njive, konje i volove... Danas je to samo vidljivije, ogoljenije i masovnije – kaže Simonida Milojković.

Ako hoće da uhvate„bizmismena”(sa „m” umesto „n” u nazivu) oblače se kao noćne dame po bordelima. Za pecanje sportiste je neophodno odlično poznavanje domaćih i svetskih liga, a zbog onih sa laptopom sponzoruše su nabavile enciklopedije i počele da uče i strane jezike.

Alessandra Ambrosio is spotted departing from LAX, taking her boots off as she goes through security on Wednesday (January 28). Last week, Alessandra was working and relaxing on the island of St Barts, along with fellow Victoria Secret’s angels Marisa Miller and Selita Ebanks.Alessandra, 27, spent the holidays with her boyfriend, California businessman Jamie Mazur, at Playa Cafe’s Cafe de la Musique in Brazil.
The Victoria’s Secret angel gave birth to Anja Louise Ambrosio Mazur on Sunday, August 24.
Deca su pod pritiskom. Jedna se mala 11 godina stara Britanka pohvalila kako je na letovanju za nedelju dana spavala sa sest decaka. Polovina ispitanih godista 14-15 devojcica je takodje izjavilo da je na seksualni cin jednostvno primorano, ali je to u modi, tako treba. Decaci devojcice dele na normalne - easy targets ili nenormalne-hladne-lude, nazovite kako hocete, koje odmah izbacuju iz svih socijalnih desavanja.
I sve sto se sto se radi sa malim neduznim kurvama se aploduje se na net. Cak i ova rec apload bodi oci, ali je bolje od `postavlja se` ili `ubacuje se`. Playboy zecica na majici je trend, silikonske grudi potpuno normalni poklon za 16 rodjendan od mame i tate. Sajtovi poput FB-a ili Myspace-a jednostavno ohrabruju klince da se sto bolje slikaju za profile pic i pokazu sta imaju. To i rade, ali ne razmisljaju da pored decaka ili devojcice iz skole, te iste slike vide i profesori, nastavnici ili jos gore, cike i tete koji nisu bas tako dobri. 
Devojcice se hvale feminizmom, ali je problem sto uopste taj termin ne razume nijedna od njih. One feminizam dozivljavaju slobodom da spavaju sa svima i uvek i to sto ranije i da sve to sto pre pokazu preko fona ili neta svima i sto pre. Da li je Sex and the city kriv, neki reality show, a ima ih mnogo i u svakom mozete lepo cuti kako se javno razgovara o najsitijim detaljima seksualnog zivota. Emocije i ne postoje. Sta je to?
Deca u udarnim terminima gledaju sparusenog decu koji zivi u super kuci i ima tri glupe plavuse oko sebe i bas mu je lepo. Plavuse poskakuju levo desno, hvale se najnovijim operacijama koje deda platio i kazu mu: AWWWWWWWWW, you are sooo cute, Hef! Sexyyyyy... Deda je u serijalu broj 2 nabavio jos dve glupace. Sada su happy family, pravi role model.
Amy Winehouse? Daj, bre sestro, priberi se. Idi negde da te ne nadje nijedan paparaco, jer sam zaista umorna od tvog kezenja i trulih zuba. Dosadna si, jer da je tako neko od rock-n roll legenda radio javno, ma koliko se drogirao nikada u legendu ne bi usao.
Paris? Hilton? Postala je ultra popularna kada je pokazala svima kako je momak...recimo oralno zadovoljava. U hotelu...Da, prica deluje odlicno, samo kada bi devojka bila bar malo originalna pa nam pokazala sta zna, osim falsiranja u pevanju i trepkanja aparatima. Devojka je ispod proseka, ali ima pare. Zato je specijalna. Tako je i sa svim ostalim bogatasicama koje je
jadno pogledati,bez stila i ukusa, bekgraunda. Ali, one su specijalne jer imaju pare. Pare nisu kupile reputaciju Miss Hilton, niti ce. Jos jedan odlican role model.

Discovery i Explorer u udarnim temrinima prikazuje kako se lako snimaju porno filmovi i kako je super njihov zivot. Kuca, guske i bildovani majmuni puni sebe nakljukani lekovima za potenciju stenju dok komsije pokusavaju da vide iza ograde te zvezde. Stroka na kanalima. Bolju rec nemam.
Porno je zamenio erotiku, a bondage, dodire. Ok. Dosli smo do kraja i bas se pitam kakve ce cerke i sinovi biti jednog dana od ovakvih devojcica-kurvi kojima smo okruzeni.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie arrive at Narita International Airport on Tuesday (January 27) in Narita, Chiba, Japan. The couple was accompanied by all of their kids — Maddox, 7, Pax, 5, Zahara, 4, Shiloh, 2, and 6-month-old twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline. (Brad and Knox wore matching newsboy caps! Angie held Vivienne.)
“Our kids are always packing,” Angie has said. “They like to pack; it’s a game in our house. It can get very hard trying to find 20 minutes to close your eyes if you’ve been up since four in the morning. We travel so much, we never have to adjust. We change school time to four in the afternoon if we have to!”
JAN 27 - Chelsy Davy let the world know that she had broken up with Prince Harry using a thoroughly modern tool: her 'relationship status' on social networking site, Facebook.
It's the one etiquette problem upon which Debrett's, that Bible of social decorum, has as yet failed to advise: when a relationship ends, what on earth does one do about one's Facebook relationship status?
Should you leave it alone, so that each time you log on, you're greeted by your own profile declaring that you're "in a relationship", accompanied by a mocking smiley face icon? Quickly change your status to"single" in the hope that your ex will see it and know that you've moved on already? Quietly delete the "relationship status" section from your profile, and pray that no one asks why? Or remove yourself from the social networking site that has 150 million active users.
As Chelsy Davy, the now former girlfriend of Prince Harry, realised, public exposure of your most intimate details can be a powerful tool. She changed her relationship status to "not in one" - accompanied by the symbol of a broken red heart - and immediately signalled three things to the wider world: one, that she was not interested in talking to the press about it, two, that she was not interested in weepy post-mortems with friends and three, most importantly, that she controlled the situation...

Po prvi put u 86 godina dugoj istoriji Turske republike, lik neke žene će se naći na nekoj od domaćih novčanica. Lik Fatme Alije (1862-1939), prve žene pisca u turskoj književnosti, našao se na novoj novčanici od 50 turskih lira (oko 25 evra), prenele su agencije. Turska valuta promenila je ime "nova turska lira" (TRY) u "turska lira" (TRL) od 1. januara ove godine zbog čega je bilo potrebno izdati nove novčanice i kovanice. Na svakoj novčanici na jednoj strani nalazi se portret Kemala Ataturka, osnivača moderne Turske, dok su na drugoj strani likovi drugih istaknutih turskih ličnosti.

Before development was put on hold in 2006, Annette Bening and Uma Thurman were rumored to have been considered for the roles of Mary Haines and Crystal Allen respectively.
In the late 1970's a remake of the 1939 classic was proposed to star Jane Fonda, Barbra Streisand, and Faye Dunaway, but it was not made.
Like the 1939 version, the film has an all-female cast.
Edie's (Debra Messing) daughters are called January, April, May and June. The last three are the names of Daisy Duck's nieces (counterparts to Donald Duck's nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie).
Candice Bergen previously played Meg Ryan's mother in Rich and Famous (1981).
In The Women (1939) the only scene in color was the fashion show sequence. In this version the fashion show begins with all-black and white clothes, and the scene before it takes place in a black-and-white room.
Tanya the manicurist (Debi Mazar) talks about meeting Madonna. Mazar and Madonna are long-time friends; Mazar appeared in four Madonna music videos: "True Blue" and "Papa Don't Preach" (1986), "Deeper and Deeper" (1992) and "Music" (2000).

Remember the Sex And The City episode where Carrie realises that she's spent $40,000 on shoes and can't afford the downpayment on her apartment? 'I literally will be the old woman who lived in her shoes,' she laments. Sheconomics is a new book co-written by psychologist Professor Karen Pine and financial adviser Simonne Gnessen. The idea behind the book is obviously to help women master money - but it's more than just a practical guide because it also addresses the complex feelings that can stand in your way.
Karen and Simonne have devised seven laws of 'Sheconomics' that will help you change your attitude to personal finance, get your money madness under control and secure a financial future that doesn't depend on Prince Charming.

Karen and Simonne have devised seven laws of 'Sheconomics' that will help you change your attitude to personal finance, get your money madness under control and secure a financial future that doesn't depend on Prince Charming.
LAW 1: HOW TO TAKE EMOTIONAL CONTROL
Be aware of how your emotions affect the way you behave with money. Women's attitude to money is shaped by emotion. But instead of acting when in an emotional state, stop and think for a minute about how it is you're feeling.
Identify what's causing it. Is it a reaction to something real that you're facing now, or has it been sparked off by an old memory or previous experience?
Work out if the emotion is relevant. If it is warning you of real danger, heed it. But if it's reinforcing bad habits, feel free to ditch it. Think about what you're aiming for, not your feelings right now, and act in a way that will help you achieve your goal.
LAW 2: GO BEYOND BELIEFS
Know that your financial beliefs can become reality. Our beliefs influence the way we behave, and, in turn, what we do or do not achieve.
If you believe that you're bad with money, you probably will be. But if you believe that riches will be yours, then more than likely you will be rich.
First, you need to identify the things that are stopping you being rich. Maybe you don't ask for a pay rise because you're secretly scared you're not worth it. Once you've worked out what's standing in your way, you can start to change your behaviour and attitude towards money.
LAW 3: SPEND WITH POWER
Make sure all your spending decisions are made for the right reasons. To spend with power, you need to understand why you shop and resist the compulsion to spend to cover up emotions.
Start by working out where your money goes by keeping track of exactly what you spend your cash on in a month. Then you can work out where you need to cut back and how to control your spending.
For example, always order tap water in restaurants, and don't buy a coffee on the way to work. Use internet comparison sites before making a purchase, avoid cards and pay cash so you know what you're spending. Eventually you'll learn that you can cut down on your spending without feeling deprived
LAW 4: HAVE GOALS
Make your money fit your life plan. Work out what you want to achieve in life. Peace and security? Escape from city life? Setting up a business?
A dream is vague and relies on chance - 'I wish I could be mega-rich'. A goal is specific and realistic - 'My savings plan means I'll have £30,000 by the time I'm 40.' Goals take the pain out of resisting temptation.
Saying no to a ski trip sits much easier if you're giddily excited about buying your first flat and are saving for the deposit. It's tougher when the goal is long-term, like saving for retirement. But think of it as 'achieving financial freedom' and you're more likely to stick with it.
LAW 5: LOOK DEBT IN THE FACE
Face up to what you owe and decide how to pay it back. Start by listing your debts and working out the priorities. They should be your mortgage, secured loans, rent, council tax, utility bills, tax etc. These have to be dealt with before credit or store cards, overdrafts and unsecured loans.
Pay off whatever you can and then work out a how much debt you can afford to repay each month and who needs to be paid the most (usually the debt with the highest interest rate, so you pay it off sooner). Set yourself a goal date for being debt-free.
LAW 6: SHARE YOUR FINANCIAL INTIMACIES
Talk openly and honestly about money. In most relationships, money is still taboo. But money secrets are the kiss of death to any close relationship - whether it's with a partner, spouse, business partner or close friend.
Sharing financial intimacies is about building trusting, honest relationships with others, and with yourself in relation to money. This requires that you communicate in order to understand and come to terms with your own and your other people's money mindset. Agree to accept any differences and you'll be headed for financial bliss.
LAW 7: KNOW TOMORROW COMES
Take action now for a secure future. The future of the State pension in the UK is uncertain. Frankly, it's deluded to think the State will provide for you when you retire.
So, boring as it may seem, you need to plan for your future in a way that balances your current needs against your future ones. Future needs tend to get drowned out when we're hedonistically indulging our current desires.
But by saving now, starting a pension and making your money work hard for you, you can safeguard your future without feeling that you're missing out on your present. Extracted from Sheconomics by Karen Pine and Simonne Gnessen, £7.99, published by Headline.

Više od 27 posto anketiranih žena priznalo je da bi rado obuklo seksi odeću kad bi im to pomoglo u "zarađivanju" kakvih bonusa ili promocije na poslu. Takođe je jedna od 20 žena izjavila da to redovno i radi.Istraživanje je provela internet stranica www.theragtrader.com na tri hiljade zaposlenih žena, od čega čak 78 posto smatra da im izgled utiče na posao. Više od polovine ispitanih žena reklo je da smatra da im doterivanje pomaže u poslu.PR ovog istraživanja je rekla: "Istraživanje dokazuje da izgled zaista može uticati na poslovnu uspešnost. Čak i kad radite od kuće, odeća uveliko utiče na vašu produktivnost. Ako ste obučeni suviše ležerno, teško ćete se disciplinovati".Anketa je takođe pokazala da dve trećine žena smatra da imaju bolju kontrolu ako su doterane, dok 61 posto ispitanica misli da ih zbog pažljivo odabrane odeće kolege više poštuju.Žene su se takođe pokazale kao vrlo kompetitivne u kancelariji - njih 48 odsto je priznalo takmičenje u oblačenju za posao, u odnosu na 27 posto muškaraca kojima je to bitno u poslu.

Scarlett Johansson channels Marilyn Monroe in her latest campaign for the new Dolce & Gabbana makeup line.“Scarlett is sure of herself,” designer Stefano Gabbana told WWD. “She’s a beautiful girl, but she’s really easygoing. She is very Dolce & Gabbana.”
When describing the makeup line, Stefano added, “We see makeup as another thing for women, like a dress. We worked on the makeup line like we work on a clothing collection — you can change makeup like you can change your clothes, depending on your mood. We wanted to create makeup with a scent. Domenico and I remember when we were children and opened our mother’s handbags — the scent of her lipstick trailed out. I observed that when women open makeup, they smell it first.”

Check out this behind-the-scenes video of Madonna and Louis Vuitton creative director Marc Jacobs via UK’s Marie Claire.
We get a look into some of how the campaign was shot, which took place at LA’s Café Figaro.
“I just blurted out, ‘I think we should do Madonna,’” Marc has said. “I was totally just blown away by it, and moved by her performance, by what she had to say, and her energy.”
This video was for the LV Spring/Summer 2009 ads that were released last month.

Nema osobe kojoj se ne dopada lepa ženska osoba - sem ženama koje se nalaze u periodu najveće plodnosti, jer lepu ženu smatraju direktnom konkurencijom i pretnjom. U isto vreme nemaju ništa protiv kad su u pitanju žene koje su blizu ili su već ušle u period menopauze - pokazala su najnovija istraživanja britanskih psihologa. "To vam je kao da za njih uopšte ne postoje atraktivne žene, one ih jednostavno ignorišu ili čak ne skrivaju otvorenu netrpeljivost" - tvrdi Benedikt Džouns, psiholog sa Univerziteta Aberdin u Velikoj Britaniji na osnovu anketiranja 97 sredovečnih žena. Mnoge studije bavile su se pitanjem šta se izraženo plodnoj ženi najviše dopada na licu muškarca, na njegovom telu, u njegovom glasu pa čak i - znojavoj majici ili košulji. Ali mali broj psihologa i neurologa bavio se kako plodnost menja karakter nadmetanja među samim ženama - saopštio je Džouns časopisu Primenjena biologija. On i njegovi saradnici ženama pre ulaska ali i posle ulaska u menopauzu fotografije muškaraca i žena na kojima je izvršena digitalna manipulacija da bi oni izgledali muževniji a one što privlačnije. Na u foto-šopu "dorađenim" fotografijama muškaraca posebno su naglašeni snažna vilica i gustina obrva a kod žena široko razmaknute oči i lepo izvijene obrve. Žene čija se starost kretala između 40 i 64 godina zatim su se opredeljivale između 40 naglašeno muževnih muškaraca i naglešeno privlačnih žena. Bez obzira na menopauzalno stanje, žene su se listom opredeljivale za muževnu gospodu. Ali kad je reč o ženama, dame koje su još uvek mogle da rađaju manje su glasala za izrazito lepe žene nego one koje su već ušle u menopauzu. Na osnovu ovih pokazatelja, Džouns je zaklkjučio da je reč o podsvesnom međusobnom nadmetanju još uvek plodnih žena: "Sasvim je pouzdano da se žene dok prolaze kroz menopauzu lagano udaljavaju od pomisli na seks s izrazito muževnim kavaljerom i sve više se približavaju tipu muškarca koji bi im garantovao stabilnu porodicu" - zaključio je Džouns. "Mislim da je reč o prvom i značajnom koraku u psihološkom portretisanju žena u vreme plodnosti ali i menopauze" - smatra Mark Prokoš, evolucioni psiholog sa Univerziteta Elon u Severnoj Karolini. Ipak, on još uvek nije potpuno uveren da je žensko procenjivanje najbolji način da se objasni "seksualno nadmetanje među ženama". "Još uvek nema odgovora na pitanje da li je samo procenjivanje crta lica dovoljno da potvrdi apsolutnu privlačnost žena u periodu plodnosti ali i pred-menopauzalnoj i post-menopauzalno fazi života" - sumnjičav je Prokoš

Beauty is a characteristic of a person, place, object, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning, or satisfaction. Beauty is studied as part of aesthetics, sociology, social psychology, and culture. As a cultural creation, beauty has been extremely commercialized. An "ideal beauty" is an entity which is admired, or possesses features widely attributed to beauty in a particular culture.The experience of "beauty" often involves the interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with nature, which may lead to feelings of attraction and emotional well-being. Because this is a subjective experience, it is often said that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." In its most profound sense, beauty may engender a salient experience of positive reflection about the meaning of one's own existence. A subject of beauty is anything that resonates with personal meaning...
The characterization of a person as “beautiful”, whether on an individual basis or by community consensus, is often based on some combination of inner beauty, which includes psychological factors such as personality, intelligence, grace, congeniality, charm, integrity, congruity and elegance, and outer beauty, which includes physical factors, such as health, youthfulness, sexiness, symmetry, averageness, and complexion.

So...now I have to believe that is all good and this is all true...I`ll try, just for a moment, but it is hard since I (we- they-all) have been hurt so many times by US ideology and everything they have done in the recent, well too many decades...Anyway, Obama is different, regarding the looks at least and media actions, so far, different...We shall sit and wait.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie suit up — literally– for the German premiere of his hit film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in Berlin, Germany on Monday (January 19).If you use this fashion info, please credit JustJared.com: Brad worked it out again in a Tom Ford suit and a 22-carat gold and black jade Petrvs ring David Yurman. Angie looked white hot in a Akris suit and finished off her look with Asprey jewels and Stuart Weitzman shoes.
Nina Morić, hrvatska manekenka koja se nedavno predozirala tabletama za spavanje, nakon kratkog oporavka, u ponedeljak je prošetala modnom pistom. Ona je učestvovala u reviji modnog kreatora Frančeska Martinija Koverija.
- Nina je prihvatila moj poziv jer je htela da se u centar medijske pažnje vrati na najbolji mogući način. Shvatio sam da je njoj sada više nego ikad stalo da se dokaže u svojoj manekenskoj profesiji - rekao je Frančesko Koveri. Manekenka je svečanu reviju otvorila izlaskom iz oblaka dima, a zatvorila ju je izlaskom na pistu u večernjoj haljini vesele žutozelene boje. Nina je, nakon što je saznala za prevaru njenog bivšeg muža Fabricija Korone sa argentinskom manekenkom Belen Rodrigez, popila veliku količinu tableta za spavanje u kombinaciji sa alkoholom. Nakon izlaska iz bolnice, sedam dana je provela u Zagrebu, a zatim se vratila u Milano gde se već u ponedeljak pojavila na pisti.

The fifth season will commence on January 21, 2009 with a three-hour premiere consisting of a clip-show and two back-to-back new episodes. The remainder of the season will air in North America on Wednesdays at 9:00PM Eastern/8:00PM Central. According to Lindelof, the season "is about why [the people who have left the island] need to get back".Also, season five will feature significantly fewer flashbacks and flashforwards. Future seasons and end-date
On May 7, 2007, ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson announced that Lost will end during the 2009–2010 season with a "highly anticipated and shocking finale.""We felt that this was the only way to give Lost a proper creative conclusion," McPherson said. Beginning with the 2007–2008 television season, the final 48 episodes would have been aired as three seasons with 16 episodes each, with Lost concluding in its sixth season. Due to the writers strike, the fourth season featured 14 episodes, and Seasons 5 and 6 will have 17 episodes each. Lindelof stated that Lost would return in January 2009 for a fifth season.
Executive producers Lindelof and Cuse stated that they "always envisioned Lost as a show with a beginning, middle, and end," and that by announcing when the show would end that viewers would "have the security of knowing that the story will play out as we've intended."Lindelof and Cuse stated that securing the 2010 series-end date "was immensely liberating" and helped the series rediscover its focus. Lindelof noted, "We're no longer stalling." Matthew Fox is the only cast member who knows the ending of the show.

Czech-blonde - magical Karolina Kurkova, UK naturally perfect Kelly Brook and Columbian - WOW - Sofia Vergara
Friday, January 16, 2009
Moral values: Only about the truth. Knows the value of a well-stated white lie and truly loves women, flaws and all.
Vice(s): Women, alcohol, cigarettes, ganja, and coke, drama. Extended periods of self-loathing.
Look: Very New York: wears all dark colors and handsome
Personality: Pessimistic, self-loathing
Taste: He often wears dark jeans and his favorite black t-shirt; In LOL he is seen wearing a light brown leather jacket which he exacted as payment from Bill for giving a talk to Mia's class. He likes to listen to classic rock.
Hank's backstory:East Coast kid who came to Hollywood when his book got optioned. Fell into the Los Angeles lifestyle and has been trying to dig himself out ever since.Back in New York, the seasons grounded him, constantly filling him with hope and disappointment. The bright white blanket and blue skies of the first snowfall, only to turn a grimy grey the next day, awakened his senses; reminding him that life was larger than him. Without him ever knowing it, the seasons moved his internal clock; the crisp air of fall turning increasing cooler and then winter reminding to turn inward. It was this never-ending cycle from which Hank drew upon for his writing. The city of eternal sunshine and perfect bodies numbed his heart and impeded his pen. It is from great angst that best-selling novels are made. Without the seasons providing cover, angst became personal and Hank’s life began to fall apart.

Lepe su to bile godine. Bar tako pricaju. Titova, bre, Jugoslavija, siroka zemlja, kad krenes iz Maribora, spavas tri puta do Skoplja. Pa turske kafice, ratluci do krasovih bonbona za srecan put i uz put. Na sve strane krediti, stanovi se dele, pa kradu, svi nesto kao zale se nije to zapad, a zapad bio iza nas ihahaj. Ljudi srecni, haljine sarene, silikona nigde. Eh, lepo je bilo samoupravljanje…
I tako u jednom gradu, koji je samo na kratko bio prestonica, u jednom preduzecu, vladala je opsta narodna ljubavna harmonija. Direktor, inace bivsi partisan ozenjen partizankom, ima ljubavnicu! E, da je jedna, bilo bi dobro… E, sad, ljubavnica ima ljubavnika (ovde nismo sigurni da li je jedan bio ili vise). Znaci muz+ljubavnik+ljubavnik, opa kredit za novi namestaj, a bogami i letovanje na veliko nadomak grck-jugoslovenske granice. A mozda i neki putic za Trstic ili Istanbulcic!? Nek je samo veselo. Verni tako jedni drugima, uz osmeh i dobru rakijicu, ponekad podgrejan gulas ili ovogodisnji ajvar, ziveli su i radili su i gradili su. A direktori bili, kazu i oni, a i one, veliki svaleri. Opasni. To kad prodje hodnikom preduzeca, to zamirise na pino silvestre, a radnice – potencijalne ljubavnice samo trepkaju i namestaju svoje sik mackaste naocare. Nadvio se ruzicasti oblak svalerizma nad federalnim Balkanom, pa sve puca! Ko koga ovde bi da krivi? Bila je Liz in i bio je Barton in. U to vreme jos smo imali i poneki bioskop, cak pet! Pa, sta hocete? Zar je vernost nesto sa cim se covek, u ovom slucaju, direktor, covek, ali i ucesnik NOB-a,radja?! Zar to treba kriviti? No, no, mon Dieu, treba ziveti, n`est pas?
U takvoj jednoj atmosferi, prefinjena, nezna, zalutala devojka, zvacemo je Diana, radila je kod robusnog i nabedjenog frajera direktora. Direktora zvacemo Mister Silvester, zbog kolonje. Diana nije bila nesto voljena, jer nije dala da je vole. Imala je svoje JA i to je bilo to, i njoj i njima. Uvek u bojama tempere, plavom kosom i precizno stavljenom sminkom, ona je bila hladna Kim Novak preduzeca. Sta je sve proslo pored nje, kolike je godine vernosti odbacenih, i vec u novom zagrljaju docekanih, ona videla i ispratila. Ali je cutala. Posao tajnice je tisina, lepo braca Hrvati dadose ovom pojmu naziv. Diana je imala dobru prijateljicu, punacku i veselu Miss S koja je bila tu uvek za nju. I ova za nju. Obe su bile tu jedna za drugu, i tako su na primer, po prvi put zelele da se napiju ili da potpuno polude pa kupe neki ludi ves! A ves treba kupiti! 60 i neke to je mozda i bio problem. Treba uci i izabrati, a sramota! Pomagale su jedna drugu, ko sto rekoh. Uglavnom ves je na ovaj ili onaj nacin, bio kupljen, i nadamo se redovno upotrebljavan.
Diana je jednog dana, kao i svi ostali bila jako iznenadjena! U takvu idilu cvrstim korakom usetala je Madam M. Visoka, krupna zena isto tako krupnog imena koji je podsecao na nemacke proplanke, usla je u njihov svet i postavila svoja pravila. Zapravo, ona se i nije nesto bas nametala, ali lepo je bilo gledati nekog drugog koji je jednostavno naucio da zivi malo drugacije. Madam M je imala takodje ljubavnika, problematicnog sina, koji, opet, kazu, nije voleo zene, za ono vreme, bio je tabu, i to tabu presedan! Madam M je imala svoje navike, pa joj je tako malo bilo i vruce leti preko dana. Volela je da svoje noge, broj 43 opere u lavabou preduzeca i onda dugo, dugo sljapka po hodnicima u sivim gumenjacima.
Jednoga dana dodje tako in a sastanak radnickog saveta. Sve sami komunisti, a Madam M, bitna zbog svoje diplome, otvori vrata kancelarije u udje ponosno u kancelariju siroku, vrelu i zadimljenu. Svi pogledase u Madam M, a ona mirno pokusa da se tako visoka i nezgrpana ugura za sto. Sede. Silvester, kako je pusio, podize pogled iza debelih naocara. Zaprepasti se covek.
Pobogu, Madam (drugarice)M! Pa sta radis sa tim mokrim peskirom oko vrata!??
Pa… vruce mi je, tu na vrat, direktore-odgovori nervozno M, mada bi ga, da moze rukom samoupravno zalepila za zid!
Odma` da si skinula taj peskir! ODMA! Zar sa peskirom na radnicki savet!?Iznesite mokar peskir napolje –zagrme direktor, a sve se njegove bivse, sadasnje i buduce verne ljubavnice, pomalo upiskise od straha na svojim stolicama.
Sve je to posmatrala ispod oka, naslonjena na zid, prekrstenih ruku, kafe-kuvarica i davala polako u glavi bodove prisutnima. Silvester je mogao lako da `litne`, ako ne bi bio po njenoj meri. Smenjivala je ona mnoge direktore, pa sto bi Silvester bio izuzetak? No, skromna Diana ustade i po naredbi Silvestra iznese neduzni mokri peskiric, ali ne i sve ostalo sta je krupna M unela u njhove zivote.
O ovom dogadjaju se dugo prepricavalo. O tome da, o nekim drugim stvarima ne. Te `druge stvari` su bile `zdravo sa gotovo`.
A sedamdesete su bile odmah tu iza ugla.

Britni Spirs oglasila je da traži diplomca sa Harvarda da vodi njen profil na čuvenom sajtu "Fejsbuk", javio je "Telegraf". Britni (27), koja je prošlog meseca bila najtraženija slavna ličnost na internet pretraživaču "Gugl", odlučila je da pronađe inteligentnog kandidata sa čuvenog američkog univerziteta koji bi non-stop informisao njenu publiku preko interneta. Oglas za medijskog menadžera objavljen je od strane "Broadkasting Anlimitid", agencije koja je uradila njen veb-sajt BritneySpears.com. Njena potraga, međutim, ograničena je tako što oglas mogu da vide samo studenti internet tehnologija koji pohađaju Harvard. Britni, koja uveliko posećuje društvene sajtove "Fejsbuk", "Majspejs" i blog sajt "Tviter", traži vrhunskog diplomca koji bi obnavljao podatke o njenom statusu, vodio blogove i objavljivao nove vesti. Visina plate, kako navodi "Telegraf", nije istaknuta u oglasu. Među zahtevima za idealnog kandidata Spirs je navela sledeće: "Kandidat mora da bude upoznat sa svim društvenim sajtovima, uključujući Majspejs i Fejsbuk, i mora posedovati odlične komunikativne sposobnosti". Njen registar na "Tviteru" nedavno je bio žrtva hakera koji su postavili nepristojne poruke za 14.000 fanova koji se prijave na njenu stranicu. Uvredljiva poruka bila je brzo uklonjena.

Some women who have affairs really can blame it on their hormones, according to scientists.
Those with high levels of the sex hormone oestrogen are less satisfied with their partners and therefore more likely to cheat, a study shows.
Such women are also likely to be physically attractive - and the researchers found that beautiful women are more likely to play on their desirability to snare the best mates. Dr Kristina Durante said: 'Physically attractive women may not only have more alternatives but also high standards that are difficult to satisfy.
'Accordingly, they have fewer reasons to be committed to any particular partner if higher quality potential mates are available.'
Dr Durante, of the University of Texas in the U.S., measured levels of oestradiol - a form of the sex hormone oestrogen - in 52 female students.The women were also asked how attractive they found themselves to be and some university staff were also asked to rate their appeal.
This showed that the students deemed the most attractive had the highest levels of oestradiol.
Those in relationships were also asked how satisfied they were and how likely they were to cheat.The analysis showed that the most beautiful women felt the least satisfied with their lot.
However, they would choose a long-term affair over a string of one-night stands, the Royal Society journal Biology Letters reports.
The researchers said: 'Without necessarily being consciously aware of their motives, highly attractive women are probably able to capitalise on their desirability and continually acquire valuable resources and a higher quality long-term mate by trading-up when the opportunity arises.'

SYDNEY (AFP) – An Australian state is offering internationally what it calls "the best job in the world" - earning a top salary for lazing around a beautiful tropical island for six months.
The job pays 150,000 Australian dollars (105,000 US dollars) and includes free airfares from the winner's home country to Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland's state government announced on Tuesday.
In return, the "island caretaker" will be expected to stroll the white sands, snorkel the reef, take care of "a few minor tasks" -- and report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates.
The successful applicant, who will stay rent-free in a three-bedroom beach home complete with plunge pool and golf buggy, must be a good swimmer, excellent communicator and be able to speak and write English.
"They'll also have to talk to media from time to time about what they're doing so they can't be too shy and they'll have to love the sea, the sun, the outdoors," said acting state Premier Paul Lucas.
"The fact that they will be paid to explore the islands of the Great Barrier Reef, swim, snorkel and generally live the Queensland lifestyle makes this undoubtedly the best job in the world."
Lucas said the campaign was part of a drive to protect the state's 18 billion Australian dollar a year tourism.

Dvadesetjednogodišnja Srpkinja Olja Ivanišević koja se krajem prošle godine upisala u impresivnu listu anđela „Viktorijas sikret”, postala je zaštitno lice ove kuće i devojka koja se nalazi u njihovom oficijelnom katalogu za 2009. godinu. Olja je prošle godine potpisala milionski vredan ugovor za pomenutu prestižnu marku seksi veša, te će ove godine naći na pisti rame uz rame sa najboljim svetskim top-modelima, dugogodišnjim anđelima ove kompanije, među kojima su Adrijana Lima, Alesandra Ambrosio, Bar Rafaeli, Eva Hercigova, Žizel Bundšen, Izabel Gular, Karolina Kurkova, Miranda Ker, Tajra Benks... Olja Ivanišević je rođena u Beogradu 1988. godine. Kada je imala samo trinaest godina, primetio ju je Dejan Marković iz najuticajnije svetske modne agencije „Vumen”. Ubrzo je Olja počela da radi za modnu agenciju „Klik”, a već kao uspešna manekenka Olja je otputovala u inostranstvo u potrazi za svetskom karijerom. Ubrzo je počela da radi za „Vumen” agenciju u Milanu i Parizu, a usledile su modne revije za „Blumarin”, „Dolče i Gabanu”, „Luja Vitona”, „Versače”, „Perlu”, „Guči”, „Kašarel”, „Kenzo”… - Dejan Marković me je primetio kada sam imala trinaest godina. Ali čekala sam da završim školu da bih mogla lakše da putujem. Potom, kada sam krenula sa kastinzima i revijama, sećam se da sam stalno vukla neke knjige za školu sa sobom - rekla je Olja u intervjuu koji je dala za TV „World Fashion”. Blic, danas
