Entering Forbidden Territory: Men’s Underwear!

admin — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 06:25:44 +0000

Oooh! who can forget darling Becks in that WONDER-full underwear ad for Armani…
But let’s be honest here, the subject of men’s underwear is always a tricky one, not only for girls
to try and figure out (remember the old saying: “By their pants ye shall know them”) but even for
the guys!

Ooooh, tricky times indeed for him when it comes to shopping for it… or worse… *evil smile* when it
comes to revealing it, be that to the new girlfriend, or by the humble act of hanging his washing up
to dry in the garden, instantly becoming the [secret] laughing stock of his evil girly housemates.

Yes boys, women are wicked like that. We do care about those things an awful lot, even if you think that we don’t. The old: “right guy, wrong pants” conversation that we girls have at cocktail hour a la Sex and The City isn’t a New York myth, d’ya know…?

But wait a minute guys, just before you panic, you are on the luck ’cause it turns out that it isn’t
your fault, as Nick Knight’s SHOWstudio and Alister Mackie quite rightly point out in this collaboration
called ‘Boned’. The project focuses on the subject of men’s underwear and in a rather “interesting”
way, they raise the question of why men’s underwear has taken a back seat to the female equivalent
in terms of design and evolution.

So, (apparently) he doesn’t wear the clichéd Calvin Klein briefs or the dreaded M&S pants
that mum buys him every Christmas because he wants to… Aww bless him! but because
he has not got very much choice! Aren’t men lucky? They always have an excuse. Ha!

But it’s kind of true. Think about it. How many choices do men really have for decent, well
designed, sexy and comfortable underwear out there these days that a) doesn’t cost a fortune
and b) doesn’t make a mockery their “manhood”? What are their choices apart from:

- The blatant brand advert: Diesel, Gucci, LV, Calvin Klein, Versace, D&G, Armani, Tommy, Nautica, etc.
- The granpa types: Yup that’s the checked or stripey loose boxer shorts or the plain cotton brief.
- The “young and funky” ones: those ugly bright coloured ones that should only be worn by 4 year olds!
- The stripper’s uniform: That’s the tiger, leopard & zebra prints, the tongues, the latex, the leathers and
the glow in the dark :S …
- The really creepy ones: That’s the Hello Kitty ones (I kid you not! look), Batman, Tasmanian Monster or the Simpson ones (cringe!)
Or… brace yourself ladies, God forbid:
- The elephant.

Ok. So we all agree that the world of men’s underwear is in terrible need of more designers to push forward the design stakes in that department– Pssst! there is a careeer opportunity there ladies:

Oooh! Careful with those needles dear!

But perhaps, there is really no need to go this way, is there? >>(Click here to watch the video of ‘Boned’) and join me at going: No way! A guy with fancier underwear than a girl?! That is just wrong! Although there is one look there which is kind of cool, still… the idea of a guy with equally fancy or fancier undies than mine makes me all queasy and cringey… thoughts girls?

Oh, and talking about men’s underwear, have you seen this advertising campaign for JBS underwear?
It is absolutely hilarious! It is “men’s pants” but modelled by girls… because – and this is their USP,
this is brilliant: “Men don’t want to look at naked men”.

LOL! Point taken. Click here to watch the video ad too which is kind of revolting/funny. The funny part being the tongue in cheek suggestion that all men are the same.

And talking about funny, this forum here called: “If Jesus were alive today, what kind of underwear
would he wear?” had me in stitches. It seems that ‘going commando’ is the answer preferred by most
and to be honest, if I was a guy and those where my options I’d become Scottish and ‘go regimental’.
One of the reasons why I like Scottish men besides the rrrrrrrrrrr’s

What do the guys think? Which is your favourite type of underwear?

Information Online mixed: Findire.com – Property Management Company which deal with Midtown Condo

Mon, 23 Aug 2010 06:21:48 +0000

While you may not think about moving to Florida for whatever reason, it would be a good idea to buy properties to rent out as vacation homes. More and more people these days are looking for alternatives to hotel and the appeal of renting an apartment, condo or villa instead is growing more and more popular. Why is this you may ask? There are a number of reasons. For one thing, not everyone has a lot of money to spend these days, whether it is for a hotel, Miami Luxury Condo or even dining out all the time. Let’s say for example that someone is visiting for Spring Break in Miami. Hotels here can cost a fortune, especially during this part of the year. An average hotel here can be as much as $100-300 a night.

Spring break usually lasts a week, so these costs add up. A vacation rental is much less expensive for many people, especially those that are coming in a group. You can charge $2,000 or more for letting people rent your investment property, and they will flock to your rental. Some of the added things you should look for when buying investment real estate are extra bathrooms, a pool or Jacuzzi, and modern kitchens. It is up to you to allow pets, but this can be a bad idea. Make sure that you ask for a deposit, not only to keep a booking, but also for a cleaning deposit as well. This should be at least a third of your weekly rates, because it is important that people who rent from you leave the place like they found it.

When buying Miami condos, one of the most important factors to consider is insurance. While the entire condominium building is insured, the same cannot be said for individually-owned properties. As such, if you are planning to purchase a condo, you should understand that protecting your condo unit is vital. And here are some ways and areas where you could do just that.

Personal items
Insurance is also helpful in recovering damages to your personal properties. If you think that your clock or sofa isn’t worth covering, you’d be surprised at how much everything adds up to; and the number could be staggering.

The building’s insurance only covers the Miami condos within it and not the things within the condos. You must consider protecting your personal belongings by purchasing insurance. And to make things easier, create an itemized list of your personal items. List them in categories, like jewelry, clothing, furniture, etc., to help the insurance company provide a more accurate value for your personal items.

Water damage
Any real estate property, including Miami condos, is vulnerable to water damage. Overtime water damage is, however, more common in traditional homes. Although you cannot be reached by flood if you leave high up the building, the rain can potentially ruin the integrity of your condo’s walls. In order to curb repair expenses, anticipate this problem by purchasing an insurance policy that will cover water damage.

However, as a Miami condos owner, you should also know the simple ways of preventing and detecting water damage. For instance, if you find discoloration or softness in the walls, you must immediately know the potential cause for it might be from water damage. Not only will this help you get rid of water damage but molds as well, which develop when moisture collect on the walls and other parts of your property.

Information Online mixed: Market may open lower tracking weak Asian stocks

Mon, 23 Aug 2010 06:18:40 +0000

The market may open lower on weak Asian stocks. Trading of the S&P CNX Nifty futures on the Singapore stock exchange indicated that the Nifty could fall 9.50 points at the opening bell. On the macro front, the government will announce the inflation data for the month of July 2010, 16 August 2010.
India’s second mobile services by sales Reliance Communications announced after trading hours on Friday, 13 August 2010 its consolidated net profit fell 84.7% to Rs 250.89 crore in Q1 June 2010 over Q1 June 2009.

Asian stock tips started Monday, 16 August 2010, weaker amid cautious trade, after US stocks declined on Friday, 13 August 2010. The key benchmark indices in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia, South Korea and Japan were down by between 0.11% to 0.91%. But, China’s Shanghai Composite rose 0.89%.

Japan’s Nikkei Average fell 0.94% after the latest data showed Japan’s economy lost significant momentum last quarter. Gross domestic product grew at an annualized rate of 0.4% the government said Monday. The result undershot analysts’ expectations and represents a sharp slowdown from the previous quarter’s revised 4.4% expansion

US stocks closed out their worst week in six with a small losses on Friday, 13 August 2010, as economic data gave little reason to reverse a string of sell-offs. US retail sales rebounded last month, as did the overall July Consumer Price Index, but the data was consistent with an economy that has slowed in recent months. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 16.80 points, or 0.16%, to 10,303.15. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index dropped 4.36 points, or 0.40%, to 1,079.25. The Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 16.79 points, or 0.77%, to 2,173.48.

Consumer sentiment stabilized this month after a sharp drop in July, the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan Surveys’ preliminary August reading showed. Meanwhile, the Commerce Department said business inventories rose slightly more than expected in June.

Back home, the latest data showed the food price index rose 11.40% in the year to 31 July 2010, while the fuel price index climbed 12.66%. Food inflation accelerated from the previous week’s annual rise of 9.53% while fuel inflation eased from the week-ago reading of 14.26%. The primary articles index rose 15.66% compared with the previous week’s reading of 14.36%.

The industrial output rose 7.1% in June 2010 compared with revised 11.3% rise in May 2010, the latest data showed. Manufacturing grew 7.3%, mining sector grew 9.5%, consumer goods sector rose 8.3%, capital goods sector expanded 9.7% and electricity generation rose 3.5%.
The industrial production growth rate for May 2010 was revised marginally down to 11.3% from 11.5% reported earlier. The growth rate for March 2010 was revised upward to 14.5% from 13.9% reported earlier.

Analysts expect the Reserve Bank of India to raise interest rates by 25 basis points at a mid-quarter monetary policy review on 16 September 2010, to rein in inflation and inflation expectations.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) at its Q1 monetary policy on 27 July 2010 raised a key lending rate by 25 basis points to curb surging inflation. With growth taking firm hold, the balance of policy stance has to shift decisively to containing inflation and anchoring inflationary expectations, the RBI said at that time. The RBI also signaled its strong preference for tight liquidity, saying it would ensure that excess liquidity in the system doesn’t dilute the effectiveness of policy-rate actions.

Meanwhile, the Indian government last week relaxed the requirement of a minimum 25% public shareholding for listed state-run firms. It may be recalled that the government in early June 2010 had announced changes in the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules 1957, so as to ensure that all listed companies maintain a minimum public float of 25%. Existing listed companies having less than 25% public holding have to reach the stipulated level by an annual addition of not less than 5% to public holding, the government had said at that time. The new rule had raised concerns there will be a deluge of share tips from government-owned firms to meet the minimum 25% public shareholding requirement.

As per the relaxed norms, listed state-owned companies that have less than 10% public stake will have to reach that threshold over a period of three years. The modified rules also give a breather to the private sector companies. While they will have to comply with the minimum 25% public float within three years, they now have flexibility in how the limit is reached i.e. the requirement of a minimum annual 5% increase has been scrapped.

FRO comprises of franchise expositions, knowledge forums and multiple networking opportunities forming an ideal platform for serious business visitors to discover a variety of unique business concepts showcasing Indian & International innovative Franchising & Retail ideas.

Pune based Sporty Beans has formally launched its franchise business model for its unique sports based program for preschool and primary school kids, at the FRO Indore show.

Apart from physical improvements, this program also nurtures critical life skills, such as coordination, team-spirit, self-confidence, competitiveness and sportsmanship values. Sporty Beans novel program can be offered at preschools, daycare facilities, elementary schools, and parks/recreation departments; however the franchise is required to setup a center. Sporty Beans currently runs 1 centre and are in the process of taking admissions for its 2nd centre. In a small time span, Sporty Beans has achieved an enrollment of 80 students at their current centre & expect to hit 150 by year end.

According to Mr. Suchint Joshi, Director – Sporty Beans, “Today the majority of a kid’s free time is spent playing video games, watching TV or playing with other kids in parks in an unorganized way. Besides this, the formal introduction of a kid to sports, through enrollment in various sports and athletics academies is possible only at the age of 8-9 years. Currently, there is an acute paucity of organized programs for kids that focuses on creatively engaging them and imbibes them the basic of sports. Hence, there is an enormous scope for bringing in a new concept that is fun, gives a constructive engagement & is a significant value addition for kids. For a Franchisee, Sporty Beans is a low investment and high return business model. Sporty Beans is looking forward to signing up 50 centers in the next two years, each with average enrollment strength of 40-60 kids. There could be 2 broad categories of target Franchisee: 1. Husband-wife who have the passion for Sports, are fitness enthusiast & love to spend their time with kids, and 2. Existing pre-school having the requisite space.”

Sporty Beans entrusted Francorp to develop a sustainable model and growth plan for the proposed business format. Commenting upon this association, Mr. Gaurav Marya, Managing Director, Francorp, said, “In India, the formal education programs develop only a limited no. of qualities and skill-sets in the kid. Hence there is a need for various activity-based programs that target overall development of kid’s physical, mental and social skills. Sporty Beans’ sports based program gradually introduces the kid to organized sports activity during his formative years, for his all-round development. Francorp has successfully assisted Sporty Beans in developing the right franchise format & identifying the target markets as part of roll-out strategy.”

Commenting on this occasion, Ms. Venus Barak, Vice President, Francorp, said “Franchising lies at the core of expansion for branded businesses. Today new businesses are adapting and responding to current and future market trends and needs, I am happy to express our delight to have worked for Sport Beans, who represent innovative, entertaining & interactive education.
