I’ve always been a little confused with sizing, depending on the country of origin (not the places where these items are actually made) they are different. A size 7.5 in the US standard doesn’t translate to 38 oversees like I assumed. I saw this chart on the site luisaviaroma.com and thought I’d post it for your information.

Am I the only one not really into StyleShake

StyleShake is this new Internet business where users can create their own dress (using StyleShake templates) to create a custom dresses. The company takes your request and creates the dress you designed. It’s getting press everywhere. I don’t like most of the options available so I’m not very excited. It can’t just be me, there is something way wrong with this bubble hem. The options are expanding so maybe in the future they will have something I don’t find horrible. Check it out and let me know what you think?

Dancing at the Adelaide Club

So, I just joined a new gym. It was a rather traumatizing experience. My old gym, The Wellington, was my hangout for about 5 years. I knew the staff and many of the squash players there. Extreme Fitness took over after The Sports Clubs of Canada went tits up. At first, I figured they would keep the squash program considering how many people were at the gym for squash. I was wrong, they are dumping the squash program to add internet lounges and stupid yoga studios. I was really pissed off, so I left for the Adelaide Club.

I just got a canned email pitch from a salesman who deals in packaging. Every once in awhile a TFI member decides to email everyone. He’s promising to take I want – I got to the next level. I don’t think this guy realized that I want – I got is a website. I emailed him to let him know that I can’t see how his packaging company is going to help considering it’s not a physical product. Here is a piece of advice for you business folk. If you bother to do a little research before sending out spam emails then you could focus your time on the right potential clients. While I’m posting about things that annoy me. 1. I won’t tell you the trends for 2008/2009. Join TFI and find out yourself. 2. I don’t work for any of the companies that are listed on this site. Don’t ask me to track down some obscure product, I cannot.
