{March 9, 2007}   Vintage Jewelry

Vintage JewelryAs kids or even as adults, we may be fascinated to look and try on our grandmother’s or great grandmother’s jewelries that have been carefully stored and handed down to our mothers and to us.

For all we know these vintage jewelries may be worth something so don’t just throw them out just because they look old and out of style. Besides, you have to admit that the fashion of yesterday is slowly coming back again and people are always looking for trinkets that are old and antique. They do look great and unique.

Since we may not be experts when it comes to dating vintage jewelry that may have been handed down to us, it is important that we do some research about it. The first thing that you could do would be to look for some designer marks or maker’s mark. Though not all vintage jewelry always have this mark and it doesn’t follow that without a designer’s mark your vintage jewelry has no value. You could locate this at the clasp or at the back of the piece. Read the rest of this entry »

modelIf you are an attractive, talented, persistent and highly motivated person, then you have the qualities required to become a model. Many Toronto male models, Toronto female models and, lately, more and more Toronto kids choose a career in the fashion bizz, equally fascinated by the glamour and magic of this spectacular world, and the substantial paychecks.

Modeling agencies are constantly looking for new talents, future Toronto male models and Toronto female models, to enrich their portfolios. Model searches are one way of being discovered and to be picked up by an agent for representation or to get headed in the right direction. Practically anyone can show up at the model searches organized by diverse talent management companies, but not just anyone would have the prospect to be selected for representation by an agency.

The modeling industry established certain beauty standards that have been adopted by all modeling agencies as selection criteria. For instance, there are two types of models: glamour, illustrated by a round shaped face, angelic, charming look, and grunge, referring mainly to a sharp angular face, with prominent cheeks. In order to step on the catwalk, Toronto male models and Toronto female models need to have a pleasant look, a thin body line, especially for presentations, and minimal height of 5’8” (170 cm) for Toronto girl models and 6” (180 cm) for Toronto boy models. Also, measurements should be anywhere from 34-36 bust, 23-25 waist and 34-36 hips (or 90-60-90 translated in cm). Still, the world of modeling is full of surprises and non-conformities. One good example of how rules can be broken is Kate Moss (grunge type) and her catwalk sessions, although she is only 1.69 cm tall. So, you never know your luck! Read the rest of this entry »



HandbagNo matter how many handbags we own, there is always the quest to find that perfect handbag. It is a quest that rarely gets fulfilled. There are frustrations that we can sometimes have with our precious everyday buddies that quite frankly piss us off. The top 5 frustrations with handbags are:

1.They are a vacuum for dirt, hair, old chewing gum and crumbs (even though you have never used the handbag for a plate before).

2.When the mobile is ringing in a densely populated potentially embarrassing place (e.g. silent train packed with commuters, important meeting at work) the bag seems to want to hide the phone and bury it in the most awkward place possible in order to maximise time taken to retrieve the ringing phone and then letting the phone stop ringing after you, red faced and flustered have retrieved the phone.

3.Handbags tend to be quite possessive and clingy.
If you ever try to move your worldly possessions from one to another new bag, the older bag will hide an Important Object from you in attempt to keep your loyalty to it. Unfortunately though it means we end up panicking and never finding Important Object for months. Read the rest of this entry »



T-Touch WatchWe are all becoming accustomed to touch screen technology, whether it be when using our home computer or withdrawing money from an ATM. It was only a matter of time before touch screen technology was used in the making of a watch, and it’s no surprise that Tissot have been at the forefront with the Tissot T-Touch watch.

Tissot watches have always been at the forefront of timekeeping and the company has a long association with timekeeping at major sporting events. In 2003 Tissot became the official timekeeper for NASCAR, replacing TAG Heuer. Tissot are also the official timekeepers for Grand Prix motorcycle racing as well as official timekeeper of the world championships in MotoGP, Supercross, Fencing, Cycling and Ice Hockey.

With this pedigree, it’s obvious that Tissot takes timekeeping seriously, constantly pushing the bounds of technology. Of course, Tissot is not alone.

Many other watchmakers strive for leadership in a niche area: Rado making the World’s hardest watch with the V10K; Patek Philippe producing watches with the most complicated movements available in a wristwatch; and Titan, makers of the World’s thinnest watch – the Titan Edge. Tissot leads the way in developing touch-driven technology in wristwatches, with their collection of T-Touch wristwatches. Read the rest of this entry »

{March 9, 2007}   Buying Watches As a Gift

WatchesI have found that people buying watches as a gift usually have a very specific thing in mind when they set out shopping.  It is very rewarding to find just the right watch for a space that really needs it.  Sometimes color is the only consideration.

Content is also very appropriate to consider.  If you are buying a watch for someone that has very distinct tastes, it is important to keep that in the forefront of your mind.  Sporty watch might be great for some friend but not for another.

Size constraints need to be taken into account when buying watches as a gift.  If your girlfriend having alergic wearing watch, buying for her is not a good idea.  It is a good idea to buy for someone who want it for a certain reason. Take a look at the place where you can purchase good watch before go purchasing one. Color can be a big factor in the buying of a watch.  If the color clashes with the person’s interest, they will probably not be very excited about hanging it.  If the color is just right, it will hang on them for a very long time
