Discomgoogolation!!!

According to Reuters London - Nearly half of Britons (44 percent) are suffering from DISCOMGOOGOLATION, according to a survey, with about 27 per cent admitting to rising stress levels when they are unable to go online.

The term comes from "discombobulate," which means to confuse or frustrate.

The survey also found 76 percent of Britons could not live without the Internet, with over half of the population using the web between one and four hours a day and 19 percent of people spending more time online than with their family in a week.

Forty-seven percent of those polled believed the Internet was more important in people's lives than religion, with one in five people paying the Internet more attention than their partner.


Do you suffer from discomgoogolation?

I know I know I know.....go on and say it


Bugatti... where do I begin? I read somewhere back in April that the Veyron supercar would eventually spawn an even more exclusive roofless model. Was that just my fantacy with the supercar?


The new roofless Veyron, otherwise called the ‘Grand Sport’ and scheduled to make its world debut at the upcoming Pebble Beach Concourse d’Elegance in California.


This supercar will feature a removable roof and other added features exclusive to the new model. Its unique design will also incorporate a number of structural changes designed to make sure it offers similar performance and passive safety levels as a coupe.


The 'Grand Sport' will feature the same 8.0L quad-turbo W16 engine we all crave for and 1001hp (746kW) output as the regular hard top and accelerate from 0-62mph in 2.5 seconds reaching a top speed of 252mph (406km/h)!


Bugatti is yet to reveal how many open-top Veyron Grand Sports will be produced and when the first cars will be available. Having said that, production is expected to begin in the first half of next year.

Dump the Chump the Dumper

Grab that Latte or Mocha now, whatever does it for you... and let's roll.

Summer's here and there's no time for hanging around the Chumps. So are you going through the Chump trough right now or do you know a friend who is. Don't worry, we'll help you with these simple steps:

New meaning for Exit is Happiness (Eliminate Barriers to Exit)
We all admit it’s very hard to force people to change their ways when it comes to a romantic entanglement. So if you find it's harder than you thought, grab a pen and paper and write down the pros and cons. In the space between these two, list one thing that is the deal breaker. If this one thing already exists in your relationship or your friends, then please start lacing your running shoes.

Scientist Amy Strachman, research at eHarmony Lab identified that unhappy people may not end their relationship because forces other than love, fun, and satisfaction are keeping them together. “There are ‘barrier forces,’ which include poor alternatives to the relationship combined with the potential loss of investments. If you’ve put in a lot of investment in the relationship, it makes it harder to leave. And if you don’t have a lot of other social outlets, the barriers to leaving can also be emotional, such as loneliness and fear.”

Perspective
You’ve probably observed that people with few barriers to exiting a relationship are more likely to break up and try something new—Jennifer Lopez leaves her husbands at the drop of a hat, whereas Rhea Perlman has stayed married to Danny DeVito for decades!

Sometimes Psychology Helps

If your letting your life get ruined by a parasitic loser, it’s likely because this monster in some way fills a dark void in your past, replacing it with an ugly but otherwise manageable present.

Perspective

Instead of focusing on what the boyfriend did, point out how that behavior is a repetition of things in her past. That’s something much harder for her to rationalize around! If she’s had other boyfriends in the past who also treated her badly, point that out too, that the current chump is just one more link in a chain of attempts to rectify something in the past that can never be cured by a man in her present. Mind you, it doesn’t mean she’ll actually leave him! But she’s far more likely to concede the point and admit how deeply rooted the bad relationship is if you bring up insights that ring true (and maybe you can even get her to go see a real therapist, which would help even further).


YOU'RE EITHER OR YOU'RE NOT



YOU'RE EITHER

OR

YOU'RE NOT

VOGUE OR SPORT

So when buying your very own 2008 car, what motivates you the most during your selection? I know that my motivation comes from 5 - letter word...VOGUE. Not the magazine dammit, the ultimate 4x4, the Land Rover Range Rover Vogue fully Loaded.


Tell us about your experiences whether you've ever owned the 2008 VOGUE OR SPORT models, driven one lately or have had the pleasure of being driven in one sometime yesterday. We'd love to hear all about it.


The Range Rover is now widely viewed as one of the finest luxury vehicles built today. It's smooth on-road and off-road performance are best in it's class... With luxury and performance on the high list, reviews show a unanimous agreement of the SUV's success in market leading luxury.


Forbes Magazine Online said, "The Range Rover blends conflicting functions by offering supreme luxury and extreme off-road ruggedness. Few other SUVs offer such high levels of both. The trade-off is a steep price." -- Forbes

Posh Celeb: NEW AGE MEN

Posh Celeb: NEW AGE MEN

NEW AGE MEN

Have you all been wondering what men want these days? You are not alone. All over the world, many women are asking the same. Is it the new million-dollar-question?


So let's take some pointers from men all over the world who've been kind enough to shed some light on this.


1. It's not a good idea to come across to your beau as 'criticize-queen'. So don't criticize other women in front of him or nitpick about everything. Men can't bear it, so if you do it, please stop stop stop now.


2. Leaches... men can't do leaches effectively. So if you want to keep him for longer, girlfriend, don't give him the impression your life revolves around him even if it does. It's healthier to have life outside your relationship in order to keep it fresh and going for longer.


3. How many times do women speak and men don't understand irrespective of the language? Codes codes codes. Men don't understand that code language women understand and know how to execute so well. So, try being more open and clear.


4. Emotional women: it all depends on the kind of guy you want to attract. If you want to be with a real man who's kind, loving, strong, in other words your superman, please don't be too emotional about everything. Let him be the man he needs to be and support him. Most of the time when we find a good man, we start thinking of the bad man we miss. That's so wrong. Channel your emotions for success not failure.


5. Talking incessantly does not mean required. Successful women know this and are very good at talking less, listening more. Just like women want from men. Chattering continuously drives him mad literally so curbing this will allow him to turn his attention on you. And it will be worth every moment.

SPRING 2008

SPRING 2008 IS HERE and I love it. The air is fresh and bursting with love, happiness and new beginnings. So for all beautiful ladies out there, makeup for Spring is fun, light and not committed. Don't spend all your hours in front of the mirror doing your make up.


Let's add colour. The colours coming up this season are baby blue eyeshadow, pink blushers and earth tone lip glosses. I particularly like the baby blue eyeshadow for this spring. It's the break for all of the credit crunch we've been feeling these past weeks and months. So if you're on board, give it a try and experience the feeling of light and happiness all day long.

THE POSH PHONES

















A great number of people who say they wouldn't want one of these phones are just LYING! We all want a good quality gadget that is flashy enough to make us look like celebrities.

Have you ever heard of the term -if you give me that I'd sell it and use the money for something else- ? Am sure even some millionaires are familiar with the term too. But if you ask me, I'd say - PRIORITISE. Spend money where it should be spent and avoid spending where not necessary.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE VERTU
VERTU WHITE DIAMONDS
RACE TRACK LEGENDS
FERARRI 1947
I recently went down to my local dry cleaners to have my suits dry cleaned. The charge for a pair of suit amazed me, it was 3 times the charge in normal areas. What did I do? I took my dry clean somewhere else. I'd rather live in a posh house, drive a posh automobile, buy a VERTU, travel the world, give give give to people who need it, and chill out like a real Princess.

Flatter your FIGURE

Flatter your FIGURE
Beauty is from within but when within seems bleak, pump up the action without!
Shine like a star and dazzle all around you.
So this season, we say Flatter your FIGURE.
All size 8 girls around the world, flatter flatter flatter. For that effect, a wide belt over an evening dress will show off a small waistline and an arrow-shaped hemline creates the illusion of height!
FLATTER FLATTER FLATTER
Lovely size 10 curvies all around the world, remember the golden rule- a dropped neckline and a row of tiny buttons give you a slimming effect!
Something something for the new trendy sexy- size 12-16 - a continuous vertical seam offers a long, lean effect. The thicker the fabric the better as this holds everything in. An empire waist will highlight your smallest area, which is under your bust line.
