Robbie Myers is spotted wearing Bottega Veneta to celebrate Elle’s 25th

Elle Magazine celebrated their 25th anniversary last night at the ELLE 25 Summer Cocktail Celebration held in Wainscott, New York. Editor in Chief of Elle Magazine Robbie Myers hosted the event and was spotted carrying a classic and highly coveted Love Knot clutch by Bottega Veneta. The famous fashion editor paired her classic black Love Knot clutch by Bottega Veneta with an on-trend lace cocktail dress which was flattering and perfect for the event.

Robbie Myers carried the Bottega Veneta Love Knot clutch in black. The Love Knot clutch is one of the famous Italian design house’s most iconic handbags. Bottega Veneta offers the Love Knot clutch in several woven fabrications including satin, leather and suede. The clasp on the top of the hard box frame has a “knot” shape which is instantly recognizable and Bottega Veneta’s signature clasp.

$2,000 for Korean hunk's cardboard body

JUST eight months ago, one was auctioned off for $6,686, another for $6,500.

They are not luxury handbags or diamond jewellery, but life-size cardboard standees of Korean heart-throb Kim Hyun Joong.

His fans had gone into a bidding frenzy last December when the items were put up for auction.

Proceeds went to international charity World Vision to help children suffering from Aids.

Yesterday, another Kim standee went under the hammer.

This time, though, response from the close to 2,000 fans was muted.

Most of them were more interested in snapping photos of the star.

The auction opened at $150 and closed at $2,000 after a mere five bids.

The money raised will go to One Life Fund, started by World Vision Singapore to provide education bursaries to young people here who have HIV or whose parents are HIV-positive.

Despite the weak bidding, the singer-actor, who is in town as the brand ambassador of beauty label The Face Shop, was surprised at the amounts offered.

Despite a variety of musical and artistic offerings

Despite a variety of musical and artistic offerings, the crowd sizes throughout BAAM Fest were oftentimes lacking.
There were certainly bigger names on the schedule who brought out good-sized crowds, such as The Magic Math, The 911 Reporters and Jasper Coal. A few of the venues, such as Rogue Tavern and Speakeasy, held consistent numbers throughout the weekend as well.

But with many of the BAAMfest events, the crowds ranged from small to a mere handful; and even then, many of the bodies populating the venues were staff members or other musicians and artists rather than ticket buyers.

Underwhelming crowd sizes throughout the weekend were evidence that BAAMfest—still a festival that is learning and growing—has yet to overcome its biggest obstacle: marketing a conglomeration of musical/artistic products in a three-day package that Birmingham natives have separate access to throughout the year.

Based on the logistics of the first two BAAMfests, the festival organizers appear to be less concerned with showcasing a festival that will attract out-of-town ticket buyers and more focused on hosting an annual celebration of Birmingham’s musical and artistic purveyors where local entertainers can come together and support each other.

This leaves many questions about the future of the festival. BAAMfest has staked its claim as a festival that intends to return year after year; however, based simply on observation, an expanded festival platform in 2011 yielded a head count similar to —and perhaps even smaller than—its debut in 2010.

On the positive side, though, BAAMfest certainly has a product worthy of being showcased, and one that’s only getting better. Regardless of ticket sales, crowd sizes or other measured expectations, the second annual BAAMfest provided strong evidence that Birmingham has a thriving music and arts scene that is worth celebrating.

For all of these sofa revolutionaries

For all of these sofa revolutionaries the current class war rhetoric of Cameron and his ilk should sound like a trumpet blast that lets the cat out of the bag and removes the gloves. This is no inadvertent slip of revelation; Cameron’s ongoing tirade asserts a self-assured, authoritarian belligerence that must surely be comparable to Charles I.

The truth is that the Western Aristocracies have known for a long time that this kind of social eruption was the inevitable outcome of the activities they have engaged in (violent resource wars, plunder of pension funds, tax evasion and avoidance and other forms of extreme wealth concentration). They have been preparing for this for a long time; disarming the communities, dismantling the protections of rights in the legal system, militarising the police forces and filling their ranks with violent, corrupt thugs, equipping and preparing the military for social disorder, technologizing the systems of surveillance and social control and so on. What Cameron reveals is that they now feel primed and ready and they are up for a fight.

How thoroughly obscene it is that Britain’s ruling class, having committed a decade-long trail of violent crimes of destruction and theft on a vast scale abroad and all the while corrupting every social institution, plundering every social resource and desecrating every principle of social integrity at home in the service of insatiable, wanton greed these Eton educated, polished criminals in suits should denigrate the moral integrity of a deprived  and disadvantaged class who daily experience a world of psychological despair that their “betters” could never comprehend.

How thoroughly cynical and outrageous it is that this provocation to a confrontation they have long been stealthily preparing for should be an attempt to berate a class for its material deprivation and alleged moral inferiority.

As often happened in the age of wild capitalism

As often happened in the age of wild capitalism


As often happened in the age of wild capitalism, our house even survived a raider attack. A firm which used to sell “horilka” (vodka) and rent an apartment on the first floor for an office put its own lock on the door and decided not to let owners in.

If the residents of our house, including a parliamentary member, were not united in their actions, the bandits would not have given the apartments back to their legal owners.

In two decades, one young woman has died in our house, and two girls were born. Only one bride wearing a white wedding dress went out the building, leaving the staircase splashed with coins and candies. It was a daughter of the lawmaker who helped to kick out raiders.

Over the last 20 years, many neighbors undertook European-style renovations in their apartments and installed plastic windows. Many bought a car, and plenty of them occupy our yard now. Someone got a thoroughbred dog. Someone took advantage of high real estate prices before the 2008 financial crisis and sold an apartment.

Many in our house have broadband Internet and wi-fi service. Fewer people use landline phones, and the Ukrtelecom monopoly cut those from time to time for non-payment of the bills, no matter how small the overdue sum.

Not long ago containers to separate garbage collecting, for dry and organic wastes, appeared in our yard. That’s an environmental step that should have taken place years ago. One of the announcements near the entrance door informed recently that meters for hot and cold water would be installed in our apartments soon. That’s something that also should happen earlier.

Another announcement on the building says that each resident should come to Khreshchatyk, a housing and utilities enterprise, and sign new agreements to receive utility services despite the fact we had been receiving them for the last 20 years. It looks like a beginning of a housing war.

But let’s think about it tomorrow, after having a housewarming party and celebrating the 20th anniversary of our life in a new place.

Cross-dressing Serial Thief Hits ClayCo Gas Station.

  The last two weeks have not been good for the BP station in the 51-hundred block of state Highway 85 in Clayton County.

   According to store personnel, over a recent ten day period nine customers had their wallets, handbags, and other possessions stolen from their cars at pump six.  At one point, they say, there were eight robberies in eight straight days.

   "Someone just ripped everything from me," sighed Nidra Dillon.  "My ID is gone; my social security cards; my children's social security cards.  It's just a big mess."

   Dillon says she had no clue she was being robbed... and she was there.  So were her kids.

   "I paid at the pump.  I never left my vehicle," she recalled.  "This guy was just that quick that he just reached his hand in there, and nobody ever even saw it. He was just that clever.  My children were in the car.  There's no telling what could have happened."

   The store's surveillance cameras were rolling, but the manager says the computer took a hit during a recent thunderstorm, and the video has been hard to retrieve.

    "He was passing the car, and he saw the window and the bag lying around, and he just jumped on the opportunity; and he got away with it," said store manager Talha Bin Mumtaz.  "I guess he had another urge the next day to do it again, and he's been doing it since then. And everyday there's a victim of that."

   Mumtaz says he thinks he recognized the suspect  as a local man who dresses in drag.

   And that would corroborate what Dillon's husband said he saw when he came back to the store looking for her wallet.

   "He said he wasn't sure if it was a male or female," she said.  "Now we know it was a male posing as a female who walked up to the car and crawled over to this lady's vehicle and was sticking his hand into the vehicle.  And (my husband) said that he started flashing his lights at him, and he took off running."

   Clayton County police say they have stepped up patrols and assigned a detective to the case but note that the majority of the victims did not file a police report.  The manager believes that's likely because the store is right off the interstate and that many of the victims were out-of-town travelers who simply wrote off the loss.
