We get asked all sort of questions at job interviews and we just try to sell ourselves as best as we can! We secretly know that there is nearly always an attempt of discrimination going on whether it is your skin color, your age, your relationship status or your gender. In Japan it's on a whole different level. You will get asked what blood type you are!?! I have been intrigued by the Japanese culture since a long time unfortunately I have not been to Japan yet but I studied Kumon. (Japanese method of learning mathematics)
What happens if you have blood type A? In Japan a person with blood group A is said to be dependable and self sacrificing. Blood group 0 are people who are confident and decisive. Blood group AB are logical and distant. Blood group B are selfish.
Hmm, I guess if I ever have an interview at a Japanese company I will just tell them I am blood type 0. (Anything but B!)
Greek bonds are rated as 'junk' by the agencies. Some banks do not even invest into junk bonds. I have been talking to Greek people and most of them actually agreed with me! If we save Greece the money will just be given to the same careless and stinking people. Also Germany does not have the luxury to just give 45 billion Euros away. The Germans are hugely in debt, it is guessed that in 2013 Germany's debt might be over 2 trillion Euros.
How will Greece pay the money back? A corrupt government which faked itself into the EU? What is going to happen to Italy, Spain, Ireland and Portugal? It's just a matter of time until they will ask for loans.
People in most parts in the world do not get unemployment benefits or medical care. How do they survive? Well they just do! Life is tough!
It is time to wake up for Greece and reform itself.
Madeleine and Elin don't run away! Please, tell us what's going on in your love lives!?! Maybe it's not our business but we already know when you were born, where you have your favorite coffee and where you live and love. So, forget about Privacy Rule because the world is curious about the fact why you are hiding. We already know about Tiger behaving like a tiger and Jonas probably follows the same pattern.
Girls stop running away and face the truth about your tigers, forgive them (after you kicked their butts and crashed their favorite car) and start dating penguins.
Politics is corrupt, we all know that! I am a little annoyed by the fact that everyone is against Merkel (Frau Nein) about her choice not to support Greece at the moment. Greece faked papers to get into the EU and since when is the EU there to support broke countries. It's just like a tricky love story. Germany and France are King and Queen of Europe and at the moment they have a 'little' dispute. The Queen thinks that her husband should help the poorer outside the country but the King thinks of his own country and beliefs it is sometimes wiser to let the poorer learn from their own mistakes and let them work it out themselves. The King is bored by the Queen's 'yucky' attitude who pretends to be Mother Theresa, hence he falls in love with Russia. Russia has the body and touch of a 25 year old. She is corrupt but yet has so much more resources to offer, she is full of provocative and raunchy ideas. My advice: The King and Russia shall never get married! Enjoy the affair whilst it lasts! Queen get off from your white horse and stop being soppy! (It's not attractive!) We are all looking out for ourselves!
Advertising is annoying and disruptive! I know some women only buy magazines such as ELLE, VOGUE, TATLER etc. because of the ads. Occasionally l like to page through heavily photoshopped advertisements. It's always the same 'Superwomen' covered in beautiful and overpriced clothes, carrying a handbag and covered in jewels.
But one special ad by BVLGARI caught my prompt awareness. The photos remind me of an oil painting hanging on the walls in the antiquated Louvre.
Julianne Moore looks absolutely stunning close to an eccentric jungle goddess.
This is unquestionable true art! Well done Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot.
Lindsay Lohan is not my favourite! Sometimes she looks like she hasn't showered since days and for someone who can afford daily manicures her hands look disastrous.
We all know that celebrities love indulging in fame so once they have established themselves as an actor/singer/model they nowadays also try their hand in fashion designing. The list is endless! We can buy Gisele Bundchen flip flops, Paris Hilton hand bags, Heidi Klum maternity wear and Birkenstocks. For the likes of my beloved Gwen Stefani and even Posh Spice fashion designing seems to come naturally to them, whilst others fail miserably.
Lindsay Lohan's new collection is a disaster. Have a look for yourself. We know the 80's are back but give it a little more taste Lindsay.
Anything with a name on it sells, so I guess she'll find some silly teenage girls who will buy her clothes with their pocket money.
We have been seeing those Bandage dresses for a while on the red carpet. I got myself several Herve Leger Dresses. (I live in Asia, I get them much cheaper) And I love to admit these dresses are just hot! Fight the fight…squeeze yourself into Herve Leger even if you end up having an argument with your boyfriend/husband/best friend to close the dress….it’s worth the fight tell them to try harder and zip it up! Put some high heels on and you feel like a top model and a size smaller. I have no idea where my most beloved love handles and thighs have gone to?!! This dress performs wonders!
'The fanny pack (US), belt pack (US), belly bag (US), Buffalo pouch (US), hip sack (US), hip pack (UK), or bum bag (UK, Canada, Oceania), moon bag (South Africa), the Joe bag, or man bag, is a small fabric pouch secured with a zipper and worn at the waist by a strap around the hips or waist.'
I am in peachy Phuket at the moment. The beaches are great although the water is not crystal clear.
When you cross through the streets of Phuket you certainly think you are back in the 80s.
You will spot Caucasian women in their 40s with short, spiky hair, way too tanned and with a fanny pack around heir hips.
God, I love fanny packs! Fashionable in the 80s. Nowadays it's an unforgivable fashion faux pas.
I remember my mom had at least 20 fanny packs and of course I had a Barbie one.
I totally understand why travelers/women wear the 'ultimate' fanny pack, it's much more comfortable than carrying a hand bag, you certainly shouldn't bring your Muse bag to Thailand.
Thailand is not the place to show off - just be yourself, and show your unmasked face (Yes, I am not wearing any make up!) That's what traveling in Asia is all about!
I am sure most of you have already been or you have read tons of articles about this stunningly beautiful country. We all know that a lot of tourists come to Thailand to only release some of their sexual frustration.
It is quite shocking to watch horrendously looking white men with very, very young Thai girls.
In a way I understand those men! Thai girls are so friendly, attentive, charming, naive and very pretty. I love those girls, too! What a great culture, everyone is smiling here.
Even German and Russian tourists are smiling.
In my own opinion it is a little sad - how a culture can also be downgraded to 'sex'.
You don't only see guys in their 60s buying themselves a young Thai girl.
Oh, no! Girls if your husbands and boyfriends fly with their friends to Thailand for a short trip....I would certainly give it a very high chance that he will not reject all those pretty, little faces on the streets trying to grab his best friend and screaming 'Sucky! Sucky!' at him!
I don't know how mad I would get if my husband or boyfriend would travel to Thailand and sleep with a Thai. I think I would most certainly 'kill' him if he slept with a Ladyboy.
Ladyboys are gorgeous in Thailand! I wish I would have their legs!
But those Ladies have way too much attitude!!
For now I am trying to ignore the sex tourism in Thailand and I will just lie by the beach, enjoy a cocktail or two, eat Pad Thai and get as many massages as possible.
Because that's the essence of Thailand! It's about total relaxation and my fanny pack which carries everything you need - credit card, passport, Labello and indifference.
