            No sé que tiene la nueva V que no termina de llenarme… Supongo que la mitad de la culpa es mia por tener expectativas, asi es màs fàcil que las cosas me defrauden.

             La otra mitad de la culpa es de ellos. La historia està bien montada, los efectos son buenos (para ser television y no cine) pero no aporta nada nuevo. Ademàs, està el rollo de las comparaciones, y aunque Anna tiene pinta de mala, jamàs llegarà a ser como Diana (pronunciese Dayana). Aquella comandante (o lo que fuera) con pelo cardado, gafas de aviador y tacones de aguja. Ahora los Vistantes van vestidos de Armani,  sin esos monos tan poco favorecedores rojos que llevan los primeros, y aunque asi la serie gana en glam, pierde en kitch. Y luego està Juliet en plan agente del FBI, pero es que me pasa como con Penny en FlashForward, que a los losties los sacas de la isla, y como que no los veo…

                    En general la serie no està mal, se deja ver, es facilona y un buen entretenimiento para ver mientras cenas. Para disfrutar y saborear cada bocado, mejor ver Modern Family, que es una serie que no te esperas y simplemente genial.

Visita de PP, vamos al Museo que resulta estar en paro por temas laborales. Es un paro amigable, como nos dice RC, y nos dejan entrar a ver la sala. Conceptos de PP: algo un poco shabby chic con mezcla de Armani; you are not on the list (para los visitantes que deben ser rechazados el día de la inauguración); vitrinas minimalistas para la esculturas; color de fondo que no sea blanco, probablemente beige o gris. N descubre un agujero en la cúpula, a través del cual se ve el cielo, o algo. Una tarde agradable.

2009 marks the first Christmas period where I have not worked in retail.  Although I am mostly grateful for this (since Christmas is a stressful time of year to be serving behind the counter, or generally to be doing anything), it did mean that I wasn’t really bombarded with the Christmas decorations and music that usually go up in stores in October, and therefore was not reminded to start organising my gifts and purchases until about last week, when I thought “Shit, it’s mid-November and I have not bought ANY presents.” In the last week or so I’ve started redressing that balance, and I’m starting to get a move on with it.  I have the added motivation of Gucci earrings.

Don’t be fooled by this fairly crude picture – the earrings are delicate and beautiful, just the right balance of style and elegance, neither masculine nor feminine.  Just… lovely.  A wonderful upgrade from my Armani Earrings (and who knows, maybe it’ll inspire a sequel song on my next album!).  However, this wonderful upgrade costs £240 (they are white gold and Gucci… and it will raise my fashion game) so I have therefore made a pact with myself that I will not buy them until my Christmas shopping is done.  There are a couple of reasons for this.

1. It’s kinda selfish to just keep buying things for myself when tis the season to give.  I love buying presents for other people, and I don’t feel guilty spending money on other people!
2. If I spend £240 on earrings, then it is possible (knowing myself) that I might physically run out of money before I manage to get everyone’s presents.  Which again, is kinda selfish when I could easily wait for the earrings a little bit longer.  It’s not like I don’t have anything satisfactory to wear in my ears for the time being!

So I am sticking to my pact. I also have the added incentive of getting my Christmas shopping done before December the 11th, because that is the date of our Christmas party for uni, and I would quite like to wear my new earrings to this Christmas party. Because then I will feel extra-special.

Anyways, this post isn’t meant to be about my Gucci earrings.  It is about Christmas shopping, and the fact that it feels almost strange for me not to be working in retail during this period, since it’s something I’ve done for the past 8 years.  I don’t miss the incessant Christmas music in shops, and I don’t miss the cranky customers nor the constant target-monitoring.  However, I enjoy the busy feeling going into the shops, and the excitement of everyone buying gifts for people they love – whether people get cranky about it at the till or not, I like the idea that everyone is trying to please someone else.  I don’t give to receive – I give to hopefully make people happy at Christmas with a gift that shows how much I appreciate them, and also that I have considered their personality and found them something appropriate.  In that sense, I am more a subscriber to the commercial meaning of Christmas than the religious meaning of Christmas (as long as it’s done with love and friendship as the primary agenda, rather than showboating, there’s nothing wrong IMO with buying someone a gift to show your appreciation of them).

Bono and his wife, Ali Hewson, have launched their own socially conscious fashion label

Not long ago, ethical fashion had an image problem. No one wanted to wear baggy-bottomed Thai fisherman’s trousers or an ecru smock top. Unflattering and unappealing, eco-fashion was best left to eco-warriors.

But there has been a definite swing over the past year. Ethical consumerism – from buying products made from recycled or renewable sources to supporting companies that adhere to fair trade principles – is on the rise. It is now cool to care.

So cool in fact, that the latest edition of Vogue has devoted 10 pages to ethical clothing. And London Fashion Week, which starts next week, will include an exhibition space dedicated to 13 ethical labels.

But it’s the celebrities behind the movement who are really making a difference. They’ve made ethical consumerism sexy. One is Bono. Last year, along with his wife, Ali Hewson, and designer Rogan Gregory, he launched Edun, a socially conscious fashion label.

Its clothes are made in locally run factories in Africa, South America and India and the company promotes trade rather than aid. The range is brilliantly designed: this autumn there are beautiful Art Nouveau printed silk dresses, elegant tie-neck chiffon blouses, urban skinny jeans and denim trench coats.

This year Bono also launched Project Red, a collaboration between Armani, Amex, Converse, Motorola and Gap. Each brand markets covetable and ecologically sound products under the Red banner; profits are donated to a fund fighting Aids, malaria and TB in Africa.

Project RED’s unofficial face is Scarlett Johansson, who appears in October’s issue of Vogue wearing Armani’s designs for the charity. The actress told the magazine: “We don’t have to live in a teepee and wear a hemp skirt to be conscious about what’s going on. Maybe somebody thinks, ‘It’s cool that she’s wearing the Red T-shirt, I’ll hop over to Gap and pick one up’.”

Gap, which launched the T-shirts in the spring ( parkas, hoodies and jeans will follow) isn’t the only store turning out fashionable and ethically produced clothes. Last week saw the launch of Adili, a website devoted to the top 25 ethical fashion labels, including Ciel, Patagonia, HUG and People Tree, which has a concession in Topshop, Oxford Circus.

People Tree has given the movement a boost with Trudie Styler as its new face. It has designed T-shirts in conjunction with Action Aid; 10 per cent of profits will go to help raise Fair Trade awareness in Asia, Africa and the Americas.

Small, independent fashion labels have also furrowed the green path. Brighton-based Enamore sells everything from pretty hand-made kimono tops to delicate hemp knickers ( far more appealing than they sound).

Chic shoes can be found at ethical boutiques such as Terra Plana, which designs shoes with recycled materials. And rather than squeezing into jeans made from cotton cultivated with pesticides, consumers can now choose brands such as Loomstate, whose eco-friendly designer jeans are sold at Harvey Nichols and Urban Outfitters.

Larger companies are catching on. Timberland, which sells eco-friendly footwear made with vegetable tanned leather and recycled rubber soles, is launching a reforestation project – it will plant one tree for each pair of boots sold.

And Marks & Spencer, which recently commissioned a survey that found that 78 per cent of shoppers wanted to know more about the way products were made, has just launched its own Fair Trade line.

Tesco, meanwhile, is to sell a range of organic clothing designed by Katherine Hamnett, a long-time crusader for ethical fashion.

Of course, it can be argued that eco-fashion is an oxymoron. How can eco-friendliness fit with so ephemeral an industry? The most significant progress should perhaps come from consumers: buying less, and more ethically, could be the most ecologically sound way to shop.

Buying a reproduced version of the Armani jeans may seem like a good idea but cheap Armani jeans are just that, cheap, inferior versions, of the genuine article. That will quickly be reduced to ugly looking sagging imitations of the original quality article.

So don’t get caught out, here are a few hints to help you avoid being scammed out of your hard earned cash. Armani goods all come with a certificate of authenticity offered by the company. These are attached to the garment through the belt loops or possibly the zip, they are in a plastic case that is coloured blue and attached with a piece of blue string and a blue plastic security attachment. The fake versions may also carry these refinements but the plastic will probably be this and insubstantial and the string will be flimsy instead of thick and strong.

This certificate has a printed security feature, similar to a watermark, this is composed of the words Giorgio Armani, the trick is that you can not see the words by looking at the certificate, you will need to hold it up to the light, and tilt it a little, then just like a bank note the words will appear as if by magic. Cheap Armani jeans will be missing this security feature, or it will be printed onto the surface of the certificate and visible to the naked eye without holding it up to the light, this is a good indication that these cheap ‘Armani’ jeans may not be the real thing.

A the bottom of the real Giorgio Armani certificates you will see tiny little pieces of coloured paper that don’t look like they are part of the certificate, they will make up the words Giorgio Armani, they have in fact been embedded into the paper when it was manufactured, and are nearly impossible to reproduce. The two words are raised and if you gently run your finger along them you will feel the words popping up like brail imprinted into a blind persons book.

In tiny words on the inside of the certificate you should be able to make out Fedrigoni Cartiere S.P.A – these words are so small they may be hard to find, but they are also very difficult to print. If you cant find them this may also be an indication that these are cheap Armani jeans [http://www.neatdesignerclothing.co.uk/jeans-m-49.html] that were not produced by the company, and are in fact worthless Fake Armani Jeans, so next time you are offered cheap Armani Jeans remember there’s a good chance that they are produced in sweat shop on the other side of the world by child labour, so don’t Don’t get caught out with fake Armani Jeans.

Señores, señoras, por fin podemos rendirnos a la elegancia, un término que muy pocos pueden abanderar. Y muchos menos, pueden abanderar en el deporte (no hay un gran número de deportistas a los que podamos otorgar este calificativo). Y menos aún, en entrenadores de fútbol, porque sólo hay uno que lo sea: Pep Guardiola.

El técnico del Barça (amén de sus logros futbolísticos) ha conseguido imprimir al fútbol una estética alejada de los cánones del chándal, los mismos trajes de siempre, las camisas sudadas y el abuso del estilo “cani” hortera. Se decanta por trajes de Dior, Prada, Armani, Dsquared2 o de Toni Miró (para quien desfiló en Gaudí).

Le aconsejamos fervientemente imitar su estilo milanés si desea estar a la moda y ser elegante sin estridencias. Las claves son bastante sencillas: trajes estilizados, con pantalón ligeramente apitillado y corbata estrecha, normalmente del mismo color de traje, combinando colores sólidos con rayados. Resulta especialmente interesante su idea de combinar jerseys y rebecas con trajes y levitas. Guardiola además suele darle especial importancia al cinturón y al pañuelo como complementos. Es clásico a la vez que moderno, elegante sin ser rancio, actual y sofisticado, una imagen pulcra e impecable.

No obstante, parte del merecido éxito se debe a su esposa, que fue quien despertó en el entrenador el interés por el mundo de la moda…

No se trata de dinero. Cristianos Ronaldos y Beckhams del mundo, apartaos, esto es un hombre elegante.

L’ho scoperto da poco, lo ammetto… forse perchè non ho molto tempo per surfare in rete. Ma mi ha colpita subito. Lockerz. Un sito che invitando gente, rispondendo a domande (una domanda al giorno)  e facendo il log-in giornaliero ti fa accumulare punti buoni per poi convertirli in bellissimi premi tecnologici e modaioli.

Se volete saperne di più e provare (come sto facendo io) ad aggiudirvi un bel premiozzo aggratiss a casa, chiedetemi l’invito!

Ps. vi bastalasciare un commentino al post e riempire il campo e-mail nel form (la mail non sarà pubblicata) e vi invito in un lampo.

Proviamoci!

As far as its spec sheet and form-factor go, the Armani 2 is totally identical to another Samsung-branded device, the B7610, representing their Windows Mobile branch. However in my opinion Samsung’s decision to launch a WM-based fashion-savvy phone (pardon my incompetence, it’s a Windows Phone after all) appears to be somewhat odd, unexpected and risky. I can’t tell whether it’ll work out for them or not – the Armani 2 doesn’t have any exorbitant expectations to live up to, nor does it aim to conquer the heart of the average consumer. So it’s best to look at the Armani 2 as a communicator with a quirky design and uncommon mix of materials for a WM-powered phone, rather than a rival to the HTC Touch Pro2.

Reuben works for a car company in Southampton these days

But who, really, is this man? Many people may have seen him playing football on a Saturday afternoon in the late 80’s and early 90’s, but what is he truly like?

I sit alone in a quiet corner of the pub, pondering these very questions, as a guy at the opposite end of the room asks his wife if she wants one more for the road.

Other than that I am kept company solely by my own thoughts.

My nerves are on edge, as I keep replaying a question that was asked of me earlier in the afternoon – “what on earth are you going to say?”

I know that, in this tranquil room, and in just a few moments time, one of my own defensive idols as a child is about to walk through the door, and still that question haunts my thoughts – what on earth are you going to say?

Then it happens – the man himself walks in, strides straight over to my table and with a big smile and friendly eyes shakes my hand, and humbly introduces himself.

As if Reuben Agboola really needs to introduce himself! He played over 250 first-class games in his career, is a cult hero at both Southampton and Sunderland, and while at the former helped his side to the runners-up spot in the 1983-84 Division 1 – Saints’ highest ever final league position.

He also featured nine times for Nigeria, including seven appearances in the 1992 African Cup of Nations, where his country finished 3rd.

But his native country almost remained Agboola-less permanently following some trouble getting into the country before his first cap.

“I didn’t even have a Visa, because things were rushed so much,” recalls the 47-year-old.

“We were at the check-in queue at Heathrow, and they wouldn’t even give me a boarding card because I didn’t have a visa.

“I was with a friend from the Nigerian FA – he was about 7ft, and dripping in Armani!

“He basically asked for the names of the staff at the check-in, because he wouldn’t take the rap if one of the president’s Super Eagles players wasn’t allowed into the country.

“We managed to get our boarding cards in the end!”

However, this wasn’t quite the end of the fun and games for the soon-to-be International footballer.

Having made it out of England, Agboola was met with another obstacle in Nigeria.

“At the Nigerian airport they were all looking through my English passport to try and find my visa!”

The rest, as they say, is history, and Agboola made it to the squad in good time – almost.

“I didn’t realise until later the rest of the guys had been waiting for my arrival so we could go and play a practice match.”

That “practice” match was against the local Lagos team at the national stadium, just two days before a competitive first team international.

“We were told we wouldn’t be needing shin pads. I got a massive gash down the front of my leg when one of their players came in with a tackle from the top.

“Their captain got sent off, and we lost 1-0. I remember thinking, wow, I can’t wait for Saturday!

“As it turns out though, the locals were better than the team we ended up playing that weekend – we won that one 5-0!”

Agboola, who did some coaching throughout his later career, retired from professional football following a brief spell with Swansea in 1992, though he did later turn out for Woking.

He became landlord of the “Sporting View” bar at the Southampton Sports Center, before relocating to Majorca, running a bar for a year.

He later returned to the south coast, where he currently works for a car company in Southampton.

“I evaluate whatever turns up, and get to rip it to bits. The log books are the worst part – we can’t sell the cars without them!

“Everything is computerized these days, which is meant to be idiot-proof, but it is really not – my boss manages to get it wrong all the time.

“It’s OK though, because it means I can get away with blaming him for just about anything!”

When he is not at work, Reuben is a keen golfer – as evidenced by the clubs present behind his desk in his office.

“I never go too far without my clubs, just in case I need to make a quick getaway!” he laughs.
