Todays entry in the "Clothes on Demand" Campaign

Todays dress review is based on:

http://www.yoursclothing.co.uk/P/Spot_print_dress_with_collar_and_tie_belt-(15938).aspx

This time it is the actual dress in the link.

Material:

Lining: 100% Polyester

Main/Contrast: 100% Viscose

Grrr...Polyester - it is a thing with plussize - heat  and artificial material. As such the dress is sleeveless so it should be ok.. But in general the detailing is not bad as such - it just isn´t super. And styled with some nice accessories it could be usefull.

But if I had my way with the "Clothes On Demand" Campaign. Then the cut could be changed to fit my bodytype much much better as this dress has a cut not good for my body. And the dresses with a good cut ...I ´ll not go there.

Jacket review:

http://www.yoursclothing.co.uk/P/Black_Fully_lined_jacket_with_revere_collar_and_three_buttons-(14835).aspx

1. MATERIALS!

Main: 100% Polyester

Lining: 100% Polyester

Granted most lining materials are polyester today. And polyester wouldn´t need ironing. But it surely has to be a superpolyester type not to "feel" wrong to the touch.

And the cut?? Not for the curve figure as the buttons are straight on the bust. Slightly below - please. If a jacket is to be figurehugging it has to follow the curves - not try to hide them.

Please do check out this wonderfull glass sculpture or artist

I am truely fascinated by theese works of art and wish they were able to put in my garden as they would never fit in my house :)

But I wonder if you could get the same colorfull - lightness in another material so it could be widespread theese great works of art. Or are "we" limited to lightfixtures?

Learning By the Net - Campaign

Todays entry in the LBN is a link to a site with some great pictures. If you like me seem unable to snap thoose great shots yourself

I was actually online trying to find a template for a peacock to put on my reallife notebook to "sprouse" it up a bit. And then I stumpled on to this.

Free Wallpapersite

And of course the previous post on free photos still helps a newbie blogger

Campaign "Believe or Trust"

Todays entry in the "Believe or Trust" campaign is inspired by a book I read some time ago.

There is a 14 years old girl crying on a TV- show about schools. -"I am just so stupid. I am not as smart as other people" and then the TVshow cuts to the girls room. She has tons of prizes and awards as she is the danish Youth champion in horsebackriding.  The Author (Claus Buhl) and I both agree:"What is wrong with this picture...."

A talented young girt - heartbroken and without confidence as to her academic skills- because she knows that her talent is not of the same value as other skills.....hmmmmmm.

And this is not just a "school" thing aka my post about the girl and her wedding dress. We seem foster people that are unsure of themself. I wonder why?

Picture is from a wedding site in honor of the poor girl and her wedding troubles.

Campaign "Clothes On Demand now"

Today entry in the "Clothes On Demand" campaign is looking at "Evans" from the Top shops list and - first off- tumbs up for not using dolled up models that could blur my impression of the dresses.

Tumbs down prices :(

Dress:

http://www.evans.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=25&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33054&storeId=12553&productId=5399069&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=209530&parent_categoryId=209427&pageSize=24

Tumbs up: Material = jersey which should work for hot days in contrast to the dress we looked at yesterday.

Tumbs down: limited sizes and color again.

Again machines are doing the job. Do the dress if customers ask for it.

-" Well shops wouldn´t sell much if they couldn´t trick buyers into a rush - buy due to limited sizes"
Well now I am not buying anything because they didn´t have what I was looking for. So...

As for the jacket:

http://www.evans.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=1&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33054&storeId=12553&productId=5478714&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=209602&parent_categoryId=209427&pageSize=24

LOL - well read all of the above. ;)

NOT the dress from the link - just amazing that we have designers who dare outthere.

Todays Campaign Entry "Learning by the Net"

Sigh - and puff

For the 5. time I tried getting Wordpress going so I could get my webpage a blog. AND blogger outthere promoted Wordpress as features didn´t hazzle as much as Blogger. ( See previous post on Blogpost header). But I got nowhere. Evenwith online "Chat-help" from one.com and pictureguide. Which have me thinking: I feel absolutly stupid as -"I understand what you are saying but the computer is not doing what you say, so stop saying the same stuff every time". Like the joke:

Online Chat helper: Open "Windows"
Man leaves computer and opens windows as requested.


Well - either I am like 19 steps behind IT evolution or Evolution has not yet evolved into a IT - world for us all.

Crack open the Campagne of your choice

Many thanks to

As I can now alter my background for the post titles....Hurrah'

Please feel free to crack open a bottle of your choice and rejoyce with me.

I know it looks a bit scary and - yes- blogger will warn to NOT alter and instead use CSS additioin in "layout". That didn´t work for me. But the link tutorial did. So you give a try.

But why - Blogger - am I to mess with the HTML - code ? why is that not a standart option for bloggers?

Back in Photo business

In my "Learning by the net" campaign I am back at photo altering. And despite a great danish tutorial with a few simple steps:

• adjust contrast
• adjust color
• export picture

I am still not quite getting there.

It doesn´t have that appetizing feel to them.

and then there is the entry titles
