Victoria Beckham Hermes B Bag Queen

I love handbags but I will say that knock-off's just aren't my thing..... A Hermes Birkin bag is a status symbol and they are not cheap at all! So if you can't afford one, save up or keep dreaming.... but don't do the knock-off! Though there is a baby version that isn't that as expensive, maybe 1/2 of the original price.



Hermes Birkin Bags, luxurious designer bags are really fabulous. Hermes Birkin Bags are so expensive, around $100,000 dollars per piece.

No wonder why celebrities worldwide are looking forward to get one, regardless of the expensive price that is equivalent to the price of a house and lot.

Hermès Birkin handbags are hand-built by experienced craftsmen, one of the primary factors contributing to the high price of all Hermès handbags. Aside from that, the materials used are very good and rare leathers.

Dozens dead, missing in Philippines floods

MANILA, Philippines - Rescuers plucked bodies from muddy floodwaters and saved drenched survivors from rooftops Sunday after a tropical storm tore through the northern Philippines and left at least 106 people dead and missing.

It was the region's worst flooding in more than four decades. The government declared a "state of calamity" in metropolitan Manila and 25 storm-hit provinces.

Tropical Storm Ketsana roared across the northern Philippines on Saturday, dumping more than a month's worth of rain in just 12 hours. The resulting landslides and flooding have left at least 83 people dead and 23 others missing, Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro said.

Many parts of the capital remained flooded Sunday, although waters were fast receding.

TV footage shot from military helicopter showed drenched survivors still marooned on top of half-submerged passenger buses and rooftops in the suburbs of Manila. Some dangerously clung on high-voltage power lines while others plodded through waist-high flood waters.

Authorities deployed rescue teams on boats to save survivors sighted during the aerial check.

‘State of calamity’
More than 330,000 people were affected by storm, including some 59,000 people who were brought to schools, churches and other evacuation shelters, officials said.

The "state of calamity" declaration allowed officials to utilize emergency funds for relief and rescue.

Teodoro said that so far, army troops, police and civilian volunteers have rescued more than 5,100 people.

Many residents lost all their belongings in the storm, but were thankful they were alive.

"We're back to zero," said Marikina resident Ronald Manlangit. Still he expressed relief that he managed to move all his children to the second floor of his house Saturday as floodwaters engulfed the ground floor.

Mud covered everything — cars, the road and vegetables in a public market near Manlangit's house.

Gov. Joselito Mendoza of Bulacan province, north of the capital, said it was tragic that "people drowned in their own houses" as the storm raged.

The most recently reported fatalities included nine people in Bulacan, most of them drowned. A landslide in northern Pampanga province killed 12 villagers. An army soldier and four militiamen drowned while trying to rescue villagers in southern Laguna province.

In the city of Marikina near Manila, a rescuer gingerly lifted the mud-covered body of a child from a boat. Rescuers carried away four other bodies, including that of a woman found in a church, after a search in a flooded neighborhood, an AP photographer reported.

Calls for help:
Distress calls and e-mails from thousands of residents in metropolitan Manila and their worried relatives flooded TV and radio stations overnight. Ketsana swamped entire towns, set off landslides and shut down Manila's airport for several hours.

"My son is sick and alone. He has no food and he may be waiting on the roof of his house. Please get somebody to save him," a weeping housewife, Mary Coloma, told radio DZBB.

The sun shone briefly in Manila on Sunday and showed the extent of devastation in many neighborhoods — destroyed houses, overturned vans and cars, and streets and highways covered in debris and mud.

The 16.7 inches of rain that swamped metropolitan Manila in just 12 hours on Saturday exceeded the 15.4-inch average for all of September, chief government weather forecaster Nathaniel Cruz said, adding that the rainfall broke the previous record of 13.2 inches in a 24-hour period in June 1967.

Garbage-choked drains and waterways, along with high tide, compounded the problem, officials said.

Ketsana, which packed winds of 53 mph (85 kph) with gusts of up to 63 mph (100 kph), hit land early Saturday then roared across the main northern Luzon island toward the South China Sea.

J. Street and J. Street Clothing

My name is Julian Streete, and Im a business major from Houston, Texas. I started my first business in 2004 "J Street Clothing" which turned into "JStreet Apparel & Branding". Primarily, I sale wholesale apparel and do freelance graphic design. I don't even have a website, however strong contacts and word of mouth keep me pretty busy. Last summer I interned for Ogilvy & Mather in NYC, which is one of the largest advertising companies in the world.

My internship exposed me to the wonderful science of branding and that is where my passion is. I recently partnered with another student at Morehouse to create "The Follow Me Tee". www.thefollowmetee.com. The follow me tee is simply the "@" sigh with your username on the front of a t-shirt with the "follow me" call to action on the back. The Follow Me Tee is for the twitter enthusiast who wants a practical way to market their twitter account. "The Follow Me Tee" is also for groups and organizations who promote their cause through twitter. We sale wholesale follow me tees to bands, non profit organizations, schools, or anyone looking for ways to promote.

Right now I love life, and I want to learn and build as much as I can, while I can.

****Here are a few questions that I asked J. Street to answer:

> Why are you on Twitter?
I joined Twitter June 2008 to network, promote and learn. I follow some of my favorite authors on Twitter and try to engage them in conversation. I love the open dialogue that you can have with just about anyone.

> What made J. Street follow U Bring Me Joi?
I followed you from a follow Friday suggestion. When I went to your page I noticed you were very career driven, wise and you had a positive attitude. Who doesn't want #positivity in their news feed!

> What are your goals for 2009?
For 2009 I plan to finish school, build a stronger list of professional clients for J. Street Apparel & Branding and sale a couple thousand FollowMeTees to Twitter enthusiast and various organizations.

> How do you feel Twitter can help you accomplish these goals?
I believe that twitter is "the new word of mouth". So as long as we deliver great products and services, people will tweet about it and our message will spread.

Say What You Want

I'm a BIG advocate of saying what it is that you want.... I have never been a fan of biting my tongue so when it comes to my LIFE, my policy is say what you want; a closed mouth doesn't get fed! And nobody will know what you want if you never say anything!

Be vocal! Don't hurt anyone's feelings if you can avoid it but know that you are the one in control of your LIFE and if you let others in it then they can deal with you or kick rocks! I totally think that if someone loves you (this could be your man, your friends or your family) then they will stick through all the good and the bad....

So I love you baby, I'm proud of you and I want you in my life FOREVER!
So let's make it happen, let's get it!!!!!!

What An Idea: Fives Account

Recently a Boston Globe reporter has managed to trick herself into saving $12,000 by adopting a creative way to save. With two daughters in college and a mortgage to pay, Marie Franklin and her husband didn't have any extra money to put into savings. While perusing online, she came across a saving trick that suggested saving every five she acquired and depositing them into a separate savings account.

Once she's collected ten fives in her wallet, Marie deposits the $50 into her designated savings account, and once that account has $2,000 she purchases a CD to earn higher interest. After three years of saving all of her fives, she has accumulated $12,000 in savings. Marie acknowledges that this method of saving requires discipline, but her unconventional habit has obviously worked for her. View the article

I save all of my ones, everyday I stash my ones into a jar and though it would make sense to put it somewhere that I can get to so that I can deposit them into an account for now we'll just say I'm working on that! Good Luck, easy saving tips!

*Update* I implemented this approach almost a year ago and you would be amazed at the amount that I have saved up! I'm onto buying my CD's too.... what about you?

FYI- the way I look at things is the glitz and glam worth it when you don't have any money in the bank? When a rainy day comes and you get rained on! I would rather have money in the bank and an umbrella than to be too cute and broke! Think about it!

Kim K

Kim Kardashian .... I don't think she looks bad without make up! I mean we all know that she is a real person and she doesn't walk around the house all made up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I'm glad she didn't put on her glam face when she was leaving the gym. But just in case you forgot this is her made up:
