Anna Nicole Smith Dies at 39

Anna Nicole Smith will always be remembered as the Marilyn Monroe look alike that would often catch a crowd’s attention with her stunning looks and bodily figure. But after her untimely death last February 9, 2007 where she was found unconscious in her bedroom, it seems that all the gossip and issues surrounding this lovely actress, model and widow will now forever remain a memory.

Smith led a very interesting lifestyle, often drawing attention with her looks and personal life. It will be recalled that her son Daniel Smith died in a hospital room in 2006 in the Bahamas, one of the highlighted setbacks of her career. Smith lived a different kind of lifestyle, practically all conflicting and known setbacks a person could have. Poverty, failed marriages and financial woes are highlights that have haunted Smith’s life for the most parts of her life. She is also known to have a serious problem with drugs, something that is being linked to her recent death.

Reading the Daily Newspaper

Daily newspapers have the usual means of being able to offer the current events and latest news on various accounts such as the world, business, politics, sports, classified ads, coupons, editorials and lifestyles. Whatever the case may be, there will always be a part of the newspaper that a person of all ages would read. It would all depend on what captures the fancy of any person when he is after updates of any sort.

Paired with the usual cigar and coffee that we would all see, current events and useful resources would be something people will eventually use in their work and studies. The latest news will always be reliable and easier to convey since they are usually the up to date items that would help in verifying topics at hand.

For people who simply want to check on the other sections, their interests on certain genres would immediately go to the section or column of their desired page of the newspaper.

Dressing Up For The Holidays

If you are like most people, you probably have a wardrobe full of the little black dress. It’s perfect for all occasions; except this one. Get ready to kick your heels up and add some color to your closet. It is Christmas time after all.

Take a page from the December issue of O Magazine and brighten up your days. You’ll feel the immediate lighteinging of your spirit as you go about in your vibrantly coloured frocks. No crows hanging around this holiday season.

Instead of going for your usual somber shades, go for some reds, yellows, blues and greens. Choosing a material like satin brings an added texture. Think of it as your gift wrapping. You take the time to wrap your presents in beautiful gilt paper. Your colorful dresses go around your best gift – yourself. Isn’t that a great reason to leave the little black dress in the closet this month?

Blind Indian Models Strut The Catwalk

Move over Supermodels who look nothing like “real women” with their waif-like figures, pouty lips and chiseled bone structure – a fashion show just took place in India where the models were blind.

Glittering in beautiful Indian dress, more than 30 lovely blind models strutted down the ramp with ease in a fashion show held in Ahmedabad, western India.
The models, who were local young women, also did their own make-up and wardrobe changes, and participated in a week-long training course on grooming and essential modeling techniques, such as how to walk down the catwalk.
Organisers of the unique event explained their reasoning behind it- to fight stereotypes of disabled people. In India, many of its 22 million disabled people face discrimination and are not awarded equal rights.

“I cannot see how I am looking in the new clothes but I am having a good time,” said 23-year-old participant, Ekta.

“I would hear about fashion shows and designer clothes on the television, but never dreamt of walking like models do,” she said, as she draped a sequined, green sari over her shoulder.

“Blind people are not considered as a part of society, they are given boring and menial jobs to isolate them from the glamorous and exciting world,” said Mukta Dagli from Pragya Chakshu Sanstha, a local charity for the visually impaired.

“We want to bring the blind out of a dull dark life. Now let the world see them.”

“We are young, beautiful and hope to do more shows to gain confidence to fight the darkness of our lives,” said 25-year-old Shweta Kothari.

Sofia Still Sexy at Seventy Plus

Yes, Sharon Stone looks amazing in her 50’s, but even more amazing is how Sofia Loren looks in her ripe old 70’s. Even better than some do in their 30’s I might add. And if I looked as fabuloso as Sophia does at her age, I would pose for the iconic Pirelli Calendar too.

Another good thing about Sophia is that she always kept her respectability (unlike Shaz and the famous beaver), refusing to do revealing poses in her 50-year-plus career in show business.

As she hit her 72nd birthday, however, she has agreed to pose seductively, but tastefully for the limited edition Pirelli Calendar in which the Italian actress appears in a slinky see-through black dress revealing enough to distract from an impressive pair of drop-diamond earrings.

Sofia said of the recent shoot :

“I enjoyed myself posing as if I was a little girl again.”

In Milan, a Pirelli spokesman commented: “I can confirm that Sophia Loren has posed for the 2007 Pirelli calendar. The pictures were shot last week in America and she looks fantastic – you wouldn’t think she is nearly 72 years old.”

As Sofia famously said:

“You have to be born a sex symbol. You don’t become one. If you are born with it, you will have it even when you are 100 years old.“
