Scenes at Remington Pearl launch event
|
|
It was a surreal moment: not unlike when Steve Jobs announces the latest magical product from Apple, the release of Remington’s 2011 women’s hair care appliance range was greeted with applause, oohs and ahhs, and general acclaim at the Ivy in Sydney last night.

Although Current.com.au remained unmoved by the release – we try to stay impartial for all brands and products – it could not be denied that the assembled reporters from the various women’s mags were very enthusiastic about the features, performance and price points of the line-up.
The focus for this briefing was the new Remington Pearl hair straightener. The centrepiece of this product is the dual coated plates: in which pearl is combines with ceramic, to create a smoother glide, according to senior product manager Karen Markby.Buy cheap ghd
The key features of this new straighter are its fast heat up time (10 seconds), 235° Celsius maximum temperature and a display in the handset to monitor the exact temperature of the plates. Markby further stressed that the Pearl can regain the desired temperature quicker than previous models after being run through the hair.
Further adding to the Remington Pearl straightener’s appeal is its new packaging. The product comes in a shoebox-style pack, of which the lid can be inverted to display the straightener on the shelf. There is no bubble wrapping, so consumers can touch and feel the display product, before taking the lightweight box to the counter for payment. Buy cheap ghd

Remington presented a number of slides that showed how the Pearl had out-performed the GHD Mark IV in testing. So many slides, in fact, that the launch almost descended into a sledge at GHD, rather than a promotion for the Remington product itself. Regardless, the biggest cheer for the Pearl was reserved for its price point, with an audible gasp of delight greeting Markby’s announcement that this product was RRP $133.
Also launched yesterday was a new Curler model: the Tribal Tongs (CI555). This is a titanium-coated conical barrel that can heat up in 30 seconds to enable users to create salon-quality curls at home, according to Melbourne hairdresser Joey Scandizzo. This product is available in pink and purple for RRP $53. cheap ghd hair straightener
The third major release was the Remington Hot Brush styler (CB65A45). According to the product release, this unit can create “big, sexy, full-bodied hair” as seen on catwalks. The brush can heat up to 180° Celsius in 30 seconds. The curl release button has been included to prevent hair becoming caught in the brush during the unfurling. This product is RRP $43.

Be Afraid Of: Buying a pair of great-fitting jeans
|
|
Jeans are probably the most versatile, comfortable, longest-lasting staple in our closets. Women spend hours scrutinizing pair after pair in fitting rooms until they find that magic brand and style that makes their butt look good, legs look long, thighs look narrow and waist look slim. It isn't easy. louis vuitton bags
louis vuitton handbags
But some guys just pick up their waist and length size and head to the register. Stop that. Ann Miller, 26, buyer and manager at trendy boutique Blond Genius, 165 S. Jordan Creek Parkway in West Des Moines, shared some tips on styles that can flatter the male physique.
1. For thin thighs
Joe's "Classic" jeans ($158) are fitted through the thigh and not super relaxed, which makes them great for guys with skinny legs.
2. For athletic builds
The "Billy Super T" jean by True Religion ($319) is a boot cut jean that is more relaxed in the thighs.
"If you're built and have muscular thighs, these jeans will give you a little more room," Miller said. "They also have a small waist, since not all guys with larger thighs need a large waist, too."
3. For slim Jims
A bit of a trendier look is a straight leg jean. It isn't a "skinny" jean, but unlike boot cut jeans, they are straight from the knee down and go over the shoe.
"The 'Protege' jeans by A.G. ($195) are narrow but still relaxed in the thigh so they aren't super tight," Miller said.
4. For big boys
One of The Rock's favorite jeans is "The Perfect" by Citizen ($249). Miller said he ordered 15 pairs from the company. True Religion Shoestrue religion
"They're super relaxed and really soft, which gives them a worn-in feel," Miller said. "They're a little bigger, but they aren't super baggy. For guys that don't want tight jeans at all, this is a good fit for them."
Miller says: Buy what you like and what you feel good in. Blond Genius can tailor any jeans you buy for just $10, and can have them ready for you to wear in a day.

Freedom -- and unmitigated gall
|
|
For Roman Polanski, the long, unspeakable nightmare of being confined to his three-story chalet in Gstaad, the luxury resort in the Swiss Alps, is finally over. The fugitive director is free once again to stroll into town, have a nice meal, maybe do a little shopping at the local Cartier, Hermes or Louis Vuitton boutiques. gucci handbagsgucci
Or he could just scurry like a rat into France or Poland, the two countries where he has citizenship -- and where authorities have a long history of acting as if Polanski's celebrity and talent somehow negate his sexual brutalization of a 13-year-old girl.
I'm betting on the rodent option, even though Swiss authorities are doing their best to convince Polanski that he can relax and enjoy the fondue without ever having to answer for his crimes. After all, they did force him to wear an electronic ankle bracelet for several whole months. The horror. The horror. After authorities announced Monday that they were denying the U.S. request to have Polanski extradited, one of the famed auteur's lawyers called the decision "an enormous satisfaction and a great relief after the pain suffered by Roman Polanski and his family." That statement should stand as the definitive textbook example of unmitigated gall.
Anyone tempted to feel Polanski's pain should take a closer look at the case. In 1977, when he was 43, Polanski lured a 13-year-old girl to a house in the Hollywood hills owned by Jack Nicholson -- the actor was not home at the time -- and plied her with drugs and champagne before having sex with her.
Polanski and his lawyers claimed that the sex was consensual. That's absurd as a legal argument, since the girl was too young to give her consent. But the girl's grand jury testimony makes clear that this was anything but a no-fault romp. She testified that Polanski, on the ruse of photographing her and wanting to make her a star, persuaded her to pose nude and then assaulted her. True Religion for mens
She testified that Polanski raped and sodomized her, against her will, and that she was distraught before, during and after the act. The director was indicted on six felony charges, including rape by use of drugs and child molestation, but he was allowed to plead guilty to one count of unlawful sexual intercourse. Polanski, who spent about a month and a half in jail, thought he had a deal that would get him off with nothing worse than 90 days in confinement under psychiatric observation. But when the judge had second thoughts about going through with such a lenient deal, Polanski fled. He has been on the lam ever since.Authentic true religion
Polanski is a great filmmaker, and his Hollywood friends and supporters have blithely taken the position that his genius outweighs his crimes. Whoopi Goldberg opined last year that what happened between Polanski and the child "wasn't rape-rape." More than 100 movie-business luminaries -- including Martin Scorsese, Mike Nichols, Harvey Weinstein and, yes, the inappropriately libidinous Woody Allen -- signed a petition asking Swiss authorities to set Polanski free. I hope they're satisfied now that their prayers have been answered.
The decision by Switzerland to release the artist from his gilded cage was based on a technicality. The issue was "not about deciding whether he is guilty or not guilty," Justice Minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf said. She's right; Polanski is guilty by his own admission. What the Swiss have decided is that despite admitting his crimes and fleeing from U.S. justice, Polanski will never have to be punished. Cheap Ugg Australia Boots
It's relevant that Polanski has never shown remorse. He claimed in a 1979 interview that he was being hounded because "everyone wants to [have sex with] young girls." It's irrelevant that the victim, now a middle-aged woman, has no interest in pursuing the case and reliving a traumatic episode. What matters is what Polanski admitted doing to her 33 years ago -- and the fact that Polanski decided to run away rather than face the music.
Swiss officials noted the obvious: that Polanski never would have visited Switzerland if he had thought he was putting himself in legal jeopardy. Since he's not a legitimate candidate for kidnapping and rendition by the CIA, he's now home free -- unless he somehow makes another mistake. He'll always have to look over his shoulder.Cheap Ugg Boots Sale
That's punishment of a sort, but not nearly enough. How about this: As long as he steers clear of U.S. justice, why don't we steer clear of his movies?

Jersey Shore' crowd, guid is good
|
|
As there always is -- when she's punched, when she's cuffed, when she's drunk and picking up juiceheads -- there's a swarm of paparazzi circling Snooki. But the traders elbowing past the photographers on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange are unimpressed. gucci handbagslouis vuitton wallets
"It's a midget," one trader yelled as Snooki and her "Jersey Shore" castmates prepared to ring the exchange's opening bell.
"They're dumbing down America," another scoffed.
"Are you serious?" barked an incredulous banker. "All this for these retards?"
That -- and so much more. The Wall Street guys may mock, but these days, the "Jersey Shore" fist-pumping gang are the real masters of the universe. Guido is good.
Author, TV star, entrepreneur, investor. That accurately, if hilariously, describes Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, with his almost cartoonishly sculpted abs, and his co-star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, famous for getting socked in the face in a bar and now for being arrested Friday in Seaside Heights for disorderly conduct after she was spotted drinking on the beach.
"I'm not trashy, unless I drink too much," Snooki famously said on the first season of "Jersey Shore."
She drinks a lot.Cheap True Religion
The Post invited Snooki and The Situation to trade in their tank tops and bikinis for a makeover photo shoot in the stately, gold-gilded North Committee room of the exchange. True Religion for mens
"I look pretty damn good," The Situation bragged as he adjusted his lapels and aimed his megawatt smile at the females in the room.
Snooki, used to wearing flip-flops and Ugg boots, had a different take: "You look like you're wearing church shoes."
She didn't exactly love her own classed-up get-up. "Can't we open it a little more?" she complained to her stylist about her dress shirt.
The crew narrowly missed a hissy fit when The Post asked her to put her signature poof in a ponytail. "That looks stupid. I don't want to look ugly," she said, stamping her foot but eventually giving in.
When Snooki was handed a glass filled with what looked like whiskey, she eagerly put it to her lips -- it was 10 a.m. When told it was just a mixture of ginger ale and cola, she pushed it away in disgust. Cheap Ugg Australia Bootsugg boots sale
It seems like the cast has been with us for an eternity, but it was just last December when the nation first learned the term "GTL" -- gym, tan and laundry, The Situation's motto for a full life.
More than 5 million viewers -- the highest premiere audience for MTV since the Season 2 debut of "The Osbournes" -- tuned in Thursday to watch the gang fight, tan and make out with "grenades" (fat, ugly women, as compared with "land mines," skinny, ugly women) in the second-season premiere. Viacom even reported that its fourth-quarter profit of last year had quadrupled compared with the previous year, due in part to "Jersey Shore."

Seven vendors with selling counterfeit bags, wallets at Whaling
|
|
NEW BEDFORD — Hundreds of counterfeit Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Coach bags, even fake John Deere hats, were seized from vendors last weekend at the Whaling City Festival.louis vuitton bags
New Bedford police officers confiscated approximately 300 counterfeit items and closed down the vendors, who by contract must leave the festival at Buttonwood Park if they are caught selling fraudulent merchandise. gucci handbags
Seven people will appear at a later date in New Bedford District Court on charges of selling counterfeit items.
Those charged include: Thomas J. Dang, 53, of Braintree; Teresa L. Dang, 51, of Brockton; Kai Wei Nan, 22, of New York: Robert Gebo, 57, of Northfield, N.H.; Maryanne Bernardini, 55, of Webster; and Robin M. Pearl, 46, and Eric E. Desrosiers, 35, both of Assonet.
Counterfeiting has been a problem in past years during the annual weekend festival in the park.
In 2007, local police seized thousands of counterfeit items and tossed out 16 to 18 vendors, some with multiple booths. True Religion for mens
In 2004, working with a private investigation firm that specializes in recognizing fake Louis Vuitton handbags and non-licensed NFL and NBA baseball caps, New Bedford police confiscated $160,000 worth of merchandise from five vendors at the festival.True Religion Shoes
On that occasion, a total of 8,000 items and $8,000 in cash were confiscated from the five vendors, as were three vehicles belonging to them.
Among the seized items on that occasion were counterfeit Louis Vuitton, Prada, Kate Spade and Coach handbags; non-licensed baseball caps with NBA and NFL team logos; non-licensed Spider-Man apparel; as well as T-shirts and other apparel.
"There were a lot less vendors selling counterfeits this year than in past years, so maybe, finally they're getting the idea," said New Bedford Police Detective Gregory Sirois.
"The products this year were also not as good a quality as we've seen in the past," Sirois said.ugg australia boots
Sirois said that in addition to handbags and wallets, fake designer perfumes and shoes were seized, among other items, estimating the combined retail value of the items to be "thousands of dollars."
The International AntiCounterfeiting Coalition's website says counterfeiting costs businesses, investors and consumers more than $600 million. Cheap Ugg Australia Boots
"It's a crime," Sirois said. "It's widespread and costs industry and consumers millions of dollars a year.
"We don't want it here and will do what we can to keep it out of here."

“His schedule is actually worse than mine,” she sighed. “He didn’t want the responsibility. It’s really tough.” True Religion for mensTrue Religion for mens
When the couple broke up in April, Common was busy promoting his latest film, Just Wright, and praised Serena during interviews. “Beautiful, intelligent woman, fun and spiritual woman. I think she’s an incredible person,” he described her to Access Hollywood. The comments puzzled Serena. “I called him and I was like, Why are you saying all this stuff when we’re not together?” she said.
