Fashion Trend: From Barefooted to Stilettos

Can you imagine just how dull the fashion industry would be if shoes weren't a part of it?  I can't!  Shoes have been and will always be a very important part of a person's attire.  But just how did we go from barefooted to stilettos?  The answer can be summed up in the three S's: Safety, Status and Style.

Safety
It didn't take long before our primitive ancestors realized that their feet needed protection from the rough terrain, hot sand and sharp rocks.  Sandals were many times made out of plaited hemp, papyrus sole, animal hide and held together with leather straps for safety.  In colder regions, the climate gave way to an even more protective foot gear.  Pieces of un-tanned hide were wrapped around the feet and held together by leather thongs to keep them warm.  This formed the structure of our basic shoe.

Status
Who was it that said, "The more civilized the human race gets, the ‘dumber' it appears to be"?  Oh yeah, that was me! Humans started veering away from the original function of the shoe which was to protect the feet.  Shoes became more of a means of showing status-a very painful means!

For some cultures a higher shoe represented a higher rank.  Lesser and lesser importance was placed on protection.  Little, if any at all, was placed on comfort and fitting.  As a matter of fact, in the 1850s only two "sizes" existed: the "slim shoe" and the "fat shoe". There was absolutely no difference between the right shoe and the left shoe.  Both could be worn on either foot.  Let every say "ouch". One, two, three, "Ouuuccchhh".  One could only imagine how difficult it was to break in a new shoe.

The shoe became more of a means of showing workmanship and extravagance.  This became such an issue that laws at times were passed banning the wearing of certain types.  One such law prevented pointed shoes from being more than 2 inches long.   Apparently, pointed shoes originated in France due to a Count who wanted to mask his deformed hooves.  Pointed heels then became the vogue, since Aristocrats were the trendsetters. It soon spiraled out of control and the points became so long that people were constantly tripping over themselves. 

In some cultures, men controlled the types of shoes their wives wore as a means of strutting their egos.  In the Chinese Culture, women's feet were bound as a way to keep them small.  The reason that is said to be behind of this, is so that these women would not be able to travel far on their own, and as a result would be "faithful" to their husbands.  In the 16th century, Venetian husbands desired their wives to wear ridiculously high stilt-like shoes, so that they would not be able to travel too far either.  These shoes were so high and steep, that often times Aristocrat women could not even walk in them, and needed their slaves to assist them with walking.

Style
The development of woven stocking was pivotal in the transition of uncomfortable shoes, to snuggly fitted and contoured shoes.  Today, more so than other reasons, for many people shoes are a way to make a fashion statement-a beautiful statement at that.  But just how would the modern woman hold up if she were teleported back in time?  She would not dare to wear red or yellow shoes in Egypt, because it was considered taboo for women below Aristocratic rank to wear these color shoes. In ancient Greece, a modern woman of today would be considered dull, since Greek women owned as many as 20 pairs of shoes, with a style for every occasion.  I don't know about you, but I'll be lucky if I had 9 pairs in my closet. 

In the West, the modern woman would be running and screaming during her wedding, as her father tries to throw a shoe at her to signify the transfer of power from him to her mate.  In Anglo-Saxon ceremonies, the modern woman would not dare to wear Pumps, much less Stiletto heels at her own wedding, since instead of exchanging rings, the groom would take her shoes and tap her in the head with it.

Indeed it's a remarkable and interesting history of how humans went from barefooted to having shoes of all sizes, types, and styles.  It's even more remarkable that in the 21st century, for a woman, it's not only about safety, status and style, but also of self expression and liberation.  Long live the Shoe!

Do leather covered stiletto heels seem more dressy than wooden ones?

I've seen some gorgeous shoes this fall and winter, but some of them in the black patent and regular black leather have either a black wooden or tan wooden stiletto heel. I think I prefer when the whole heel is covered in leather like the rest of the shoe for a dress shoe and that wooden ones are still cute, but maybe not as dressy for formal events. What do you all think?

covered heels do look nicer, but wooden ones are cute, especially if they have a wooden platform

Free Resume Writing Examples and Samples

In this exercise, we are going to go through step-by-step instructions on how to create a resume.  At the end of the post, you will find sample resumes available for download.

On a piece of scratch paper, write down all of your contact information.  This includes your full name, your current address, your home telephone number, your cell phone number, and your e-mail address.  If you are a student and your current address isn’t your permanent address (i.e. you are in a dorm for the semester but will be moving back to your parents’ home soon), then also include your permanent address.  All of this information should be completely accurate so that a potential employer can contact you.

Since many people use their cell phone as their primary phone nowadays, if you wish to only be contacted at that number, it is acceptable to leave out your home phone number.  This is especially true for students who don’t have a home phone number while in the dorms.  Also, it’s important to note that the e-mail address you include should be professional.  An address with your name or initials is appropriate; iamsexy@hotmail.com is not.

For this example, the applicant’s name is going to be Jane Smith.  Address: 123 Street Road, City, State 98765.  Phone number: 555 – 345-9876.  Cell number: 555 – 321 – 2288.  E-mail address: jane.smith@email.com

Next, list all of your previous education.  Write down the name of the school you attended, the degree you earned, and the year you graduated.  If you are currently in school, list “in progress” next to the degree instead of a graduation date.   You may also want to list your G.P.A., provided that it is good; do not list your G.P.A. if it is below a 3.0.  Low numbers may misrepresent your abilities.  If you don’t list your GPA and employers want to know it, they will ask, but often by then you will already have impressed them.

Note that if you have graduated from a college or university, it is no longer appropriate to list high school education on your resume.

For this example, the applicant’s education is as follows:  State University (2000 – 2004) Degree in Business (B.S.) GPA =3.5.

After your education, list all of your previous work experiences.  This includes both paid and unpaid jobs.  Write down the name of your employer, your responsibilities at that job, and the dates you worked there.  If you have multiple positions at one job, write down each position separately.

For this example, Jane Smith has worked at Corporate Business from 2004-2009 as a Business Manager.  She helped streamline operations, boosted employee output and efficiency, increased revenues by 5%, and trained new employees.

Next, list all of your activities.  This includes any organizations you are a part of for recreation and any honors societies you may have been in while in school.

For this example, Jane Smith was a member of the Honors Society and the Fundraising Chair of her sorority, Alpha Beta Gamma.

Finally, list any skills you have separate from your work experience.  This may include computer skills, speaking a second language, technical skills such as welding, or anything useful for a job.  It does not include “good communication” or “team player”.  Those types of faux “skills” are things that an employer expects you to have, and listing them on a resume will not make you stand out from the crowd.  Other skills will give you an edge, though.

For this example, Jane Smith has knowledge of the Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, and Powerpoint) and speaks Spanish as a second language.

Once you’ve collected all of this information, the only thing left to do is assemble it in a manner that is easy to read.  For samples of how this is done, please see the following downloadable resumes. They are created using the sample information mentioned in this blog post.

i want to have a tan skin like a model...help!?

http://www2.victoriassecret.com/images/prodpri/V258635_RC093.jpg
i have pale, olive-colored skin, or milky white asian skin. i want to wear shorts without blinding anyone...i also have long legs so...is there an easy way for me to get a faux tan like the model above that is something simple that i can do?
please give me your advice!! =(

That woman is Brazilian. The simplest answer is to become spanish. That is her natural skin color. You cannot attain that color (and neither can I) because of our genetics.

The best you can do is use self tanner. Clarins makes the best. However, if you are on a budget, Loreal is not that bad. You will need to redo it after every time you shave your legs or no less than every 3 days.

After you have a fake tan, apply body oil generously to get that suntanned glow. Neutrogena makes a good almond oil.

What is the difference between cute pretty and sexy-beautiful?

What is the difference between cute pretty and sexy-beautiful? and which one would guys like the mosT?

Cute is applicable to a young girl maybe with a "youthful cheerleader, perky" attitude. Maryann on Gilligan's Islands was cute.
Pretty is confident a senses of oneself. Pretty can go w/o makeup and still be well-pretty.
Sexy is something you "put on" either mentally or physically. You can put on sexy heels, or lingerie or purr seductively if that's what u define as sexy. It can be a golden tan accented with sparkling body lotion.
Beautiful is that quiet confidence that says I love me. Beautiful glows from the inside and says I m okay in my skin.
While physical attributes enhance beauty, confidence,maturity and spirit define beauty.

Can I wear black patent leather heels with jeans and a black satin top?

The top is black satin and has a faux patent leather belt that sits under the bust. The heels are rounded toe black patent with wood platform and heel. Would this look tacky? Am I better off going with a black matte heel?
**The belt is really tiny, smaller than half an inch thick.**

I think the belt is too much,
Keep the black patent if you lose the belt!
Keep the black matte if you keep the belt!

(two patent things in an outfit look tacky...unless it's really small or on a purse)

Lilies Can Add Beauty To Any Garden

Do you ever feel like you know just enough about Lilies for the garden to be dangerous? Let's see if we can fill in some of the gaps with the latest info from Lilies for the garden experts.

Lilies are one of the most striking and beautiful plants in the garden, and most gardeners will work with these beautiful plants at least once or twice in their lives.

Lilies can add beauty and drama to any garden, and they are very popular flowers for indoor display as well. Lilies are popular in many contexts, from giving a beautiful contrast to a winter rock garden, to providing a beautiful accent to surrounding shrubs and trees.

No matter how the lily is displayed, and whether it is enjoyed indoors or out, there are some important things to know about these wonderful plants. This article focuses on some of the most frequently asked questions about choosing, planting, caring for and enjoying lilies.

When should I plant my lilies?
The best time to plant lilies is in either the spring or fall of the year. Regardless of the time of year, however, it is important to get the bulbs in the ground as soon as possible after purchasing them. Unlike many other types of bulbs, lily bulbs do not store well.

What is the difference between a daylily and a garden lily?
The plant known to gardeners as the garden lily is grown from a bulb, but the plant known as the daylily actually grows from a corm. In addition, the daylily contains many leaves that grow from the corm, but the garden lily contains only one shoot that contains leaves. That shoot grows directly from the bulb.

It's really a good idea to probe a little deeper into the subject of Lilies for the garden. What you learn may give you the confidence you need to venture into new areas.

How deep should lily bulbs be planted?
The general rule of thumb for many types of bulbs, including lily bulbs, is to plant them three times as deep as the bulbs are wide. For instance, a two inch wide lily bulb would be planted to a depth of six inches In addition, lilies should be planted in groups for the best effect when they bloom. It is a good idea to dig a hole to the proper depth, then plant several bulbs together in that hole.

How do I propagate lilies?
Garden lilies are best propagated through breaking off a few of their scales in the spring or fall and planting them approximately one inch deep. Daylilies can be propagated by dividing the corms and planting them. In addition, some lilies will produce bulbils, which may appear to be black or dark green seeds. These bulbils are found at the point at which the lily leaf meets the stem. Even though these bulbils are not really seeds, they can be planted, and they will emerge within two or three years of planting.

Should I cut back my lily after it has finished blooming?
After the lily has bloomed, it is best to remove only the stem itself. That is because garden lilies will continue to feed off their foliage, and lilies that are left to die off naturally tend to grow better the next year. On the other hand, daylilies usually bloom for longer periods of time. The blooming season of daylilies can be extended if the gardener deadheads the blooms and cuts back the stems. After the blooming season is over, the foliage on the daylily should be allowed to die back naturally.

Can Easter lilies be planted outside?

Many people are interested in planting their Easter lilies outside, and it is fine to attempt that. The main problem with Easter lilies is that they do not bloom naturally at Easter time. Easter lilies are actually forced to bloom at that time of year by the florist. This forced blooming can make it harder for the lily to grow properly once it is transplanted.

If you plan to transplant your Easter lily after you have enjoyed it outside, the following steps will help increase your chances of its survival.

  1. Plant the lily in a sunny spot using well drained soil
  2. Use a good, high quality planting mix
  3. Plant the bulbs three inches under the surface of the soil and also place an additional three inches of soil on the top
  4. Allow enough space for the lily to spread its roots
  5. Water the newly transplanted lily thoroughly

Now you can understand why there's a growing interest in Lilies for the garden. When people start looking for more information about Lilies for the garden, you'll be in a position to meet their needs.

Is it true black tattoo ink hurts more that color ink?

I'm going to get a tattoo someday. Something really small and simple on my upper back, like a lily. I heard black ink hurt a lot but color ink was less painful. is this true?

The color doesn't matter, the reason solid black tattoos hurt more is because they have to go over the same area several times making it extremely raw but it's the same with any solid color you do, to make it vibrant they have to go over it and over it since the needles deposit color in little dots (with light shading you can actually see each one) to make those dots look like a solid area you need a lot of them.
