It's time to celebrate again, with Eid ul Adha just a day away.
I'm going to be busy non stop from tomorrow till Monday, so you probably won't be hearing much from me till later on.
Hope you all have a great Eid!
Have fun, be safe, and laugh lots,

We all know fashion can be anything from whacky, to weird, to downright absurd. These new styles definitely belong in the last category.
H&M recently unveiled its spring 2010 collection. Nothing says spring more than flowing skirts, dresses, and light, breezy clothing, but this time there’s a twist.
The men’s collection included parachute pants, and believe it or not, a kilt.
And that's not all. Prada and Marc Jacobs have already showcased their women-inspired fashions as part of their spring collection for next year.
While it's true that "boyfriend" jeans, tops, and cardigans were the look of the season, that doesn't mean it'll work when applied in reverse.
Not quite sure which kind of buyers these fashions will be a hit with, but whoever they are, hope they don't leave their houses dressed like that.
Unfortunately, there is such a thing as too much fashion, and this is a fine example of a catastrophic look in the making!

This Christmas season, give some of your time to help those who truly need it.
CNIB is holding its annual Gift Wrap all through the month of December up until the 24th.
The month long gift wrapping event will take place at Bayshore Shopping Centre right here in Ottawa, and volunteers are needed to make it a success. All donations will go towards funds for the charity.
According to its website, “CNIB is a nationwide, community-based, registered charity committed to research, public education and vision health for all Canadians. CNIB provides the services and support necessary for people to enjoy a good quality of life while living with vision loss.”
Volunteers will be provided with training in how to wrap gifts properly at orientation sessions that will be held throughout the month of November. These aren’t mandatory, but promise to be lots of fun as well as help in improving gift wrapping skills.
Volunteers will be able to choose from shifts at various times, and each shift is three hours long. Volunteers are also needed on weekends, which is a perfect solution for those who can’t take time out during weekdays.
CNIB’s kiosk will be situated on the third floor of the mall, and volunteers are still needed to fill up shifts.
Group volunteering is also possible, with some shifts still requiring more than one person to fill up.
There’s no excuse for missing out, so get your schedule and book some shifts!
To book shifts contact CNIB at:

Twilight star, Robert Pattison, has confirmed what some of us have been suspecting all along.
For those of us who’ve always wondered why he looks so dirty and unkempt at almost all public appearances, here’s the answer.
Pattison has admitted that his personal hygiene is “disgusting”.
He elaborates by saying, “It gets to the point where even I can't stand the air around me. My personal hygiene - it's so disgusting! Really, it's that I have very few clothes that I like and I'm travelling all the time so I can't really get any more.”
He cites living out of a suitcase as the reason for hardly ever washing his clothes.
And his bad hygiene hasn’t gone unnoticed. Apparently the actor’s Twilight co stars and movie crew have been suffering because of the nasty smells emanating from the star. Looks like he doesn’t shower or use deodorant either.
And then he complains about not being a hit with the ladies.
Robert, you may not have the time to do your own laundry, which is understandable, but we all know you make enough money to be able to pay to have your clothes cleaned at the dry cleaners.
If not for yourself, or your long suffering co stars, or even the ladies, clean up for your dear fans at least. What if one of them happens to get too close? The Twilighter might not even survive to know what hit the poor soul.
And while you’re getting your clothes laundered, grab some shower gel and shampoo and go take a nice, long, de-stinking shower.

Pamela Anderson, the usually pants-less former Baywatch babe, has outdone her usual pants-less behaviour this time.
The 42 year old is normally spotted wearing shorter than short shorts, but they’re still there at least.
At this year’s Intercontinental Miami Make-A-Wish Ball, she decided to abandon even those.
Pam sashayed down the runway at the end of a presentation by designer Richie Rich, in what can only be described as a t-shirt like dress, with not even her usual itsy bitsy shorts underneath. It’s difficult to tell whether she’s wearing anything at all underneath really.
Please put more clothes on, Pam. This type of outfit isn’t becoming for any woman, at least not outside the confines of her own bedroom. And you can’t be fashionable if you don’t wear proper clothes, because in order to be considered well dressed, people actually have to know what you're dressed up in!

On the other hand, if you have 62 euros to waste, there’s something that can help get that cash off your hands.
For those of you who love footwear so much you wish you could eat it, R&E Praspaliauskas has just the solution.
For the above mentioned price, you too, can have your very own edible shoes. That’s all they’re good for though, because you can’t wear the bread creations.
Customers can choose from styles like black, white, classic or gold
for adults, and from kids or mini, for children.
Apparently the eatable footwear is selling quite well, with some styles already out of stock.
Whether they’re a worthy buy though, is another question.
Why not just donate that money to an organization like a food bank, so they can buy much needed food supplies, rather than blow it on something so frivolous? Then again, perhaps some people love their shoe shaped overpriced bread too much to live without.

UGG Australia, the company responsible for popularizing ugg boots, or “uggs” as they are more commonly called, will be doing its share for the deserving this holiday season.
UGG Australia is going to be holding its 7th yearly “Art and Sole Auction”, from December 1st to December 14th.
Bidding will take place on a variety of Uggs, all designed by big names in the fashion industry. The list of designers includes Manolo Blahnik, Betsey Johnson, Rebecca Minkoff, LaROC, Stuart Weitzman, and many more.
All the money raised from the sale of the boots is going to go towards helping children fight cancer and other serious childhood illnesses at St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.
The boots are guaranteed to be unique, one of a kind works, that will reflect the sensibilities of the designer who worked on them.
The highest bidder will be rewarded with a pair of very original, stylish boots, as well as the satisfaction of doing something good for those who truly need it. It really is fashion at its best!

Even though print media is having a bit of a difficult time, with so many publications choosing to go online instead, a new magazine is all set to hit news stands in the U.S by spring 2010.
What’s interesting about this one is its name.
The magazine to be is titled, Whore! Whether that’s a reflection of the original and possibly controversial material it claims it will publish, or just a promotional gimmick, is yet to be seen.
Whore!’s website says, “We intend to recognize those women, both modern and historical, who strive for experience rather than conventional “goodness,” and continue to fight an age-old battle against expectation.” It goes on to add, “Whore! magazine will be a quarterly print magazine investigating culture, ascendancy, shame, and the desire to be.”
Wonder whether they'll be able to rope in some big names to pose for their cover.
With a name like that, the magazine runs the risk of not being taken seriously, being thought of as trashy, or worse - alienating a lot of women. While one of its aims is celebrating female individuality, with a title like that, it may actually be stereotyping the very women it features and aspires to reach out to.
And how many women would happily leave copies of a magazine called Whore! lying around their house?
Would you buy it?

Pop starlet Lady Gaga has told press she plans to launch her own clothing line someday.
She elaborated by saying, “There hasn't been a commercial artist lately that has embodied avant-garde and couture so insistently as myself”.
That’s interesting, because it seems like she’s more into the “embodiment” of garish, circus type costume outfits.
If her designs are anything like her current dress choices, it’s unlikely there will be many takers. Other than hard core Lady Gaga fans, and costume party goers, that is.
