With the Clothes Show Live just around the corner (December 4th-9th), the fashion and beauty event conducted a survey of British women to find out about their designer clothing secrets.

Some of the revelations came as no surprise to us here at Secret Sales HQ – such as females prefer shopping with their friends than their man – but others were a little less predictable.

Believe it or not, 64 per cent of people would rather turn down a date with their ideal man in return for a shopping trip with Girls Aloud’s Cheryl Cole. Have you girls not seen her fashion choices on the X Factor?

The research also noted that on average, us girls will spend £68 on birthday presents for that special someone in our lives, but £137 on a typical shopping spree.

Caryn Franklin, who will be presenting the Birmingham show, told us that people were spending longer on finding the perfect piece of clothing and were opting to spend more on single items.

“We now understand the true cost of cheap clothes on the lives of the people who have to make them, we are just much more discerning,” she explained.

We were having lunch today when we started to hear honking outside.  This by itself is not unusual, except for that they were honking in unison, which was unusual.

I poked my head outside and there was a parade of cars with posters on the sides, that stopped in front of the house.  Ana Maria said that today was some march against violence against women, so at first that’s what we thought it was about.  But turns out that it was not.

Turns out that the people were advocating for a guy to become the president of the Lima Association of Lawyers, and they were driving passed the courthouse across the street.

Yes, things have changed overnight. Coming from out of nowhere these two have managed to steal pole position already, and the viewing figures just keep rising. Well done girls! If you haven’t yet caught the hype then go ahead and check for those flicking kicks at 0.12 or that double team at 0.32 to see how to really shake your maracas.

And what a cheery performance it was too. Mexhhhico!

Other acts that we think deserve your viewing support are Stan and Lombardo.

Stan was on the way to see his son. Even though he’s a bit older than many of the other competitors he gives it literally 110% (even feeling the need to get down low towards the end!) which really is what we’re all about here at MexFactor.

Lombardo is a handsome fellow who was passing through the station with his wife and, as luck would have it, he had already performed with the band at his wedding just a few months before! He treats us to over three minutes of pure mariachi singing that makes for a truly moving performance. Check it out and I’m sure you’ll agree.

Keep viewing, and keep voting…Buena Suerte!

Stephen Fry has topped a poll of the nation’s favourite dinner party hosts according to a survey by After Eight.

The poll, which asked people who they would most like to have as their dinner party host, named the comedian and author as Brits’ dream host with nearly a quarter of the votes (22%). The survey also revealed Brits would rather be hosted at a dinner party by Cheryl Cole (14%) than by Barack Obama (11%). Cheryl, who lives in Surrey with her husband Ashley Cole, outpointed Barack who, with his wife Michelle, has hosted many a dignitary at The White House.

Unfortunately, it was further bad news for Gordon Brown in the battle of politicians as he and his wife Sarah finished bottom of the pile. However, David Cameron and his wife Samantha fared only marginally better finishing two places ahead of the Browns and just one place ahead of TV couple Richard and Judy.

Sen. Joseph Lieberman, speaking in that trademark sonorous baritone, utters a simple statement that translates into real trouble for Democratic leaders: “I’m going to be stubborn on this.”

Stubborn, he means, in opposing any health-care overhaul that includes a “public option,” or government-run health-insurance plan, as the current bill does. His opposition is strong enough that Mr. Lieberman says he won’t vote to let a bill come to a final vote if a public option is included.Probe for a catch or caveat in that opposition, and none is visible. Can he support a public option if states could opt out of the plan, as the current bill provides? “The answer is no,” he says in an interview from his Senate office. “I feel very strongly about this.” How about a trigger, a mechanism for including a public option along with a provision saying it won’t be used unless private insurance plans aren’t spreading coverage far and fast enough? No again.

So any version of a public option will compel Mr. Lieberman to vote against bringing a bill to a final vote? “Correct,” he says.

Girls Incorporated of Holyoke NEEDS your help.

They need YOUR help. They have an opportunity to receive $25,000, which they desperately need. All they need to do is be voted to be one of the Chase Community Giving award winners. In order for this to happen, they need votes.

If you have a Facebook account, all you need to do is become a fan of this App (below) and then VOTE for Girls Inc. of Holyoke.

THANK YOU!

L’UMP a besoin d’encore un peu de temps pour affiner ses listes néanmoins, déjà des certitudes : hier, le député Bernard Deflesselles a été investi tête de liste dans les Bouches-du-Rhône, tout comme l’eurodéputé Gaston Franco dans les Alpes-Maritimes, la conseillère régionale Éliane Bareille dans les Alpes-de-Haute-Provence et la Nouveau Centre Chantal Eyméoud dans les Hautes-Alpes. Thierry Mariani, chef de file régional, conduira la liste départementale dans le Vaucluse.

Dans le Var, la députée Josette Pons pilotera la liste. Nicolas Sarkozy n’aurait pas, une fois de plus, convaincu Hubert Falco de conduire l’UMP dans ce département, ce dernier ayant déjà refusé, en septembre, de porter l’étendard de chef de file régional. Nouvelle colère en perspective ? En Paca, une place pourrait être cédée dans les Alpes-de-Haute-Provence à un “chasseur” du CPNT. Sur le plan national, le Nouveau Centre devrait obtenir une quinzaine de têtes de liste et le MPF, un chef de file en Vendée. Samedi, en convention nationale, l’UMP validera ses “numéros un”, faute de pouvoir ratifier des tandems comme prévu initialement.

The race is on, and temperatures are rising!

Here’s a quick congratulations to our top scorers at the end of day one.

Well done first of all to Leila who really put her back into it with a very imaginative take on traditional Mexican dancing from the waist down that’s clearly proving popular. Hats off to her, and hats off also (literally, two of them, straight off the mariachi musicians’ heads) to Amy & Amy for a super lively performance that’s got them storming up the rankings!

The top three players at the moment however are as follows – Aida, who has clearly managed to catch your attention with her winning smile and shrill shrieking tones, is in 3^rd position, whilst Luke, with his more than subtle charm (and woolly hat!), is currently sitting comfortably in 2^nd place.

BUT – at the moment Emil is your number one. His fast footwork and Movember appeal have been keeping those views coming in thick and fast. Caliente Amigo!

So there you have it. Keep checking back for updates from the MexFactor team.

Remember positions can change overnight! So whether you’re a Stan fan or you just like Lisa, it’s up to you to get them that bit closer to the holiday of a life time.

Keep viewing, and keep voting…Buena Suerte!

Don’t speak
don’t type
don’t write
rhythm,
poetic drivel
or rhyme.
Don’t quietly
sit there and whine
about the losses
and the fine
examples of failure
held over
our heads
like we were
already dead!

Don’t whimper
don’t simmer
don’t wait
in patient
supplication
gratification of
state to state
motivated by
the need to
seek peacefully
the things
we should already
have!

No

Take it
demand it
stop trying
to request it.

Because it’s not
a failure
to communicate
we’re not at a table
to negotiate.

Freedom is not a maze
to navigate
or a truce to appropriate.
Freedom is
demanded
commanded
and undeniably
branded on souls!
And from the first bullet fired
to the lantern lifted
setting the world on fire
to the shots on campus
ringing throughout memphis
to radicals walking
in masses
and women at the gate
facing threats
staring down hate
change was never
motivated, moved
or manipulated
by the bendable.
but by the immovable
irreversible
permanent
foot planted
and well cemented
resolve of voices
raised up
shouting
and undeniably heard

so what are we waiting for?

“What’s good for America” on election day 1988? The owner of a business is in the clothing industry, replied, “What’s ever best for the clothing business.”

It sounds improbable today, but at election time not too many years ago it used to be said, “What’s good for General Motors is good for America”. I doubt that too many people believe that it’s true today. If it were, the only sure insight would be that H. Ross Perot would have a hard time getting elected.

“What’s good for business, is good for America.” It may or may not be true, but it does provide food for thought. Voting for the candidate that’s “best for the clothing business” may at first seem too selfish and too narrow. But on closer examination, good community decisions are the result of a large number of individuals pursuing their own self interests within acceptable norms.

When computer manufactures, clothing retailers, accountants, and teachers each get involved and support candidates that are “best” for their business, the net result will be elected officials that will best serve the entire community. If some groups are more active than others who are “too busy” at work, we run the risk of putting in office individuals that don’t represent “what’s best” for the majority.

During a decade in which small, entrepreneurial, independently owned businesses have been responsible for a record period of prosperity, voting “What’s good for business” is not a bad idea. Profitable businesses employ people, encourage investment, and pay taxes.

What are the issues that effect business this year? The incoming administration and the new Congress will make decisions concerning trade policy, the environment, taxation, monetary policy, and interest rates. Legislation dealing with the continuation of government deregulation and the future of the minimum wage will be written. While national defense issues may not effect your business next month, over time there is no greater concern.

Although the short comings of modern day campaigning often trivialize the differences, there are significant philosophical distinctions between the major candidates. Over time these differences will shape policies that will impact the future of our country. It will effect your business, your life, and your future.

Will your vote count? Despite the rhetoric, we are all smart enough to know that one vote doesn’t really count. However, I hope we are all smart enough to realize that if every man and women that operates a business got out and voted, and voted “what’s best for their business”, it would make a difference, a very big difference. That won’t happen until each of us does vote. So what are you waiting for?

The political obligations of independent thinking business people doesn’t end when they vote. We have allowed for the evolution of a new profession in our country. It’s the “professional politician” and it’s a problem for all of us. Look at most any elected body in this country and you will find two things. First, you will find that a majority of its members are lawyers. Where are the business men and women, the artists, the shopkeepers, the carpenters, the cooks, the teachers, and the engineers?

Are the issues too complicated for the men and women who are successful in other walks of life? I doubt it. Sure, the work of the “law maker” involves legal issues, but that’s no different than in your business. You hire staff and attorneys to do that work. Perspective and common sense are the key skills needed to make good decisions in “law making” or any other occupation.

Second, you will find our legislative bodies are inhabited by too many individuals who have made “politics” a profession. It has been a long time since they have had another job and if they have anything to say about it, it will probably be along time before they have another. What happened to the concept of “citizen politician”? Political office was once a period of service, not a profession.

Experience is a much overrated qualification for most jobs and particularly for public office where you have significant expert resources at your disposal. “Having meet a payroll” in good times and bad is a qualification perhaps greater in significance than years of repetitive legislative experience. It often appears that the most developed skill of many an incumbent is not for governing while in office, but rather in running for office.

If our public officials had more recent personal experience living in the “real economy”, they might be better equipped to understand and prioritize the nation’s problems. If our lawmakers were faced with the prospect of returning from their period of public service to live under the laws they made, things might be different.

Because “what’s good for your business” will be good for all of us, get out and vote. If you don’t like your choices, become one!
