Cinderella Syndrome: Shoe Fanaticism Today

In the 21st Century fandom exists in all shapes and sizes. There are groups devoted to everything, from Ford Mondeos to Poodles to music released only on unplayable formats. Indeed, the fandom of shoes is nothing new. Admissions of Shoeaholism have become as everyday as Carrie Bradshaw’s indecisiveness but in recent months a number of news stories have brought to my attention the notion that there may well be many specific different types of Shoeaholic. The first type of shoeaholic to acknowledge is the classic ‘hoarder’. I would suppose that ‘hoarders’ make up the majority of shoeaholics and beside owning hundreds of shoes, they are also known to have an extensive, dare I say, encyclopaedic amount of knowledge when it comes to footwear. They are also known to have a physical bodily reaction when certain names are mentioned. For example, mutter Louboutin or Balenciaga in the presence of a ‘hoarder’ and they are likely to slump to the floor only to be revived by a splash of cold water t...

The Perfect Gift for Female Physicians, Physician Assistants & Nurse Practitioners

A Delayed but Welcomed Response After virtually ignoring the growing number of female healthcare professionals who are increasingly making their mark in many medical practices over the last few years, a few uniform suppliers have introduced lab coats and scrubs tailored specifically for female clinicians (Physicians, Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners). The softer lines and tailored silhouette flatter the female figure, while the classic styling still distinguishes these clinicians from other healthcare professionals. Advancements in Fit, Finish and Function Some of the more innovative uniform manufactures are sizing their lab coats and scrubs using standard women’s apparel sizing as opposed to the typical (XS-XXXL) sizing typically found in most unisex lab coats and scrubs, enabling a more tailored fit. Instead of using poor quality fabrics that don’t feel good against the skin, pill and fade after a few washings, the best of these â€Å“clinician” style lab coats and scr...

Savvy Shoppers Abandon Their Cars and "Park" Themselves in Front of Their Computers Instead

Savvy Shoppers, the ones with both a discriminating eye and those who are price conscious, shop online these days. There are many reasons why a shopper will choose to "park" herself in front of her computer rather than brave the crowded parking lots of the nearby mall. But, according to Nielsen/NetRatings, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Harris Interactive, the top reason is to avoid crowds, a reason cited by 38% of respondents in a recent study. Case in point, I have a couple of lipstick colors that I repeatedly wear from my favorite cosmetic company. And, my "nearby mall" is very nearby, just down the hill, only 2 minutes away. I decided last weekend that I could hop down to my preferred department store and replenish my lipsticks faster than I could buy them online. So, even though I am an avid online shopper I made the decision to hop in my car and brave the parking lots at the mall. BIG mistake. (*groan*) First, it took me at least 7 turns through the parking lot ...

Jeeper Creepers! Feast Your Peepers On These Radioactive Threads!

It is sometimes tempting to think of the history of fashion in terms of distinct units of decades, with a new era being ushered in with the drop of the ball in Times Square on New Years day of the first year of a new decade. However, this thinking tends to cloud the broad sweep of history, which takes shape as it unfolds from the trends and events of the past. No discussion of the world of fashion in the 1950̢۪s would be complete without examining the profound impact World War II had on the industry. Europe and North America had traditionally looked to Paris, the international capitol of fashion, for stylistic inspiration and guidance in this realm but with the German invasion of Paris, this link was severed and designers and manufacturers in the rest of the world were forced to rely on domestic talent. There was also a shortage of fabrics and trimmings used in clothing during the war, and rationing systems that regulated the quantity of clothing, which could be purchased, were introd...

How to brush your teeth - Using a Toothbrush

by: Dentistry21 The first step is to choose a good toothbrush. You always want to use a soft brush with a small head. A soft brush is hard enough to remove plaque and soft enough, not to damage your teeth or gum The next issue is to choose a good toothpaste. In general any toothpaste that contains Fluoride will do the job, unless you have a special need that is determined by your dentist. Two of the best brands of toothpastes are Colgate Total and Crest Multicare.

Nail Infections - How To Prevent

by: DaveBern Most people do not actually realize that they have a nail infection until it is too late. The most common sign of a person having any kind of nail infection is that the nail itself has begun to change color. Rather than being its normal white tip and pink lower part the nail has begun to turn a yellow color instead. Unfortunately if you choose to leave the infection alone rather than treat it then the problem can soon become much worse. After time the nails will not only begin to break apart but the nails themselves become thick and the discoloration of the nail worsens.
