Boxer Shorts
Boxer shorts are underwear made usually for men. They were dubbed "boxer shorts" because they were patterned from those worn by professional boxers.
Boxer shorts first appeared in the 1930s, but they weren't so popular since men back then were so accustomed to briefs. It was only two decades later those boxer shorts gained a following. It needed one Nick Kaman to wear them in a popular jeans-brand outdoor billboard advertisement in the 1980s. Even though up to now, boxers are still not as popular as briefs, there is a swelling preference for boxers today.
Boxer shorts have certain advantages compared to other underwear.
The majority of surveys say that women prefer seeing boxer shorts on men. The opening in front of the boxer shorts allows convenience for men when nature calls. There are also more patterns, styles, and colors available on boxer shorts as compared to briefs. They can also be taken off more easily. Doctors also say that the cool temperature...

My Wabi-Sabi Master is My Dog
My Wabi-Sabi Master is My DogPerfection is a gooey chew toy on a worn out old blankie By GALINA PEMBROKE Up until recently, three dominant attitudes have ruled my living space: ? my boyfriend's: if it breaks, fix it. ? my own: if it breaks, replace it. ? and my dog's: if it breaks, keep it and love it all the moreWithout realizing it, my dog has been a master practitioner of wabi-sabi, a Japanese aesthetic philosophy that celebrates the simple and the handmade, including the flaws.Especially the flaws?More than just the appreciation of unpretentious art and craft, wabi-sabi is a uniquely joyful way of viewing and contemplating the world. As Leonard Koren describes it in Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets and Philosophers, wabi-sabi is "the beauty of things imperfect, impermanent and incomplete." It is no coincidence that the first practitioners of wabi-sabi were Zen Buddhist monks and tea-masters.My dog Tucker is a 30-pound, wooly sheltie-crossbreed; painted by the creator with...

Fisherman Sweater History
The Fisherman Sweater Fisherman sweaters used to be something that were seen as items of warm and rugged work wear, but much as changed, and fisherman sweaters have followed jeans to make that transformation from work wear to a 20th century fashionable clothing item.Fisherman Sweater HistoryRooted in our common heritage, commercial fishermen, weekend sailors, farmers and in fact people from all walks of life love the fisherman sweater. At sea, and in town, it is a symbol of simpler times when you could look good in something that was designed just to be practical and keep you warm, not to show off a label in order to be some kind of status symbol like many garments manufactured today.The fisherman sweater has its origins in Brittany. Surprisingly it was not the fishermen that started to wear them, but merchants who during the 18th century travelled to England to sell onions, these merchants wore an item of knitted wool clothing that made them recognizable from a distance, the garments...

Holey Denim, Britney!
Houston TX, November 9, 2005-- Denim has come a long way from the gold mines of California. Mega stars Britney Spears and Tara Reid can regularly be seen sporting the hole denim look. Ripped pant legs and starched denim jeans have comeback with a passion in recent years. Denim has been around for a long time, and now that the stars have rediscovered it, it doesnt seem like its going away anytime soon, Said George Johnson of yourdenim.com.
Some designers have really capitalized on the ripped jeans fashion trend.
Top fashion stores in New York have been rumored to be selling pre-ripped jeans for more than $150 a pair.
$150? For a pair of used jeans?
Dont tell your college economics professor.
Thats how...

The same chunky, yet sophisticated, necklace can be worn with varying outfits and identities throughout a woman's day. A woman can put on a necklace by Kalyx Designs as she gets dressed for work in the morning. That same necklace brings the perfect stylish touch to her weekend jeans and T-shirt. In fact, that Kalyx necklace is also going to go "just so" with her petite black dress she's wearing out to her friend's charity event on Friday night.Designer Katherine Miller has unearthed gemstones of antiquity, lushly combining them into striking statements to be draped around one's neck.
A unique combination of stones and colors worn since the time of Egyptian royalty, each necklace in essence began as stones deep below the earth's surface and has traveled through time, reborn as an assertive yet feminine expression of the woman who wears it. "Think of...

The Dress Code, Handled with Emotional Intelligence
It strikes terror in the heart of some of us, while others ignore it completely. Some of us are relieved there is one; others of us resent it. The Dress Code: Does it affect your career, affect whether you're hired or not, affect how you're treated on the job? Definitely. How do you ?manage' this particular area of your life? It requires emotional intelligence ? some awareness, creativity, flexibility and intuition, and a whole lot of common sense. For instance, in former years I applied for a job at a major international law firm.
At the interview, we were handed one sheet of instructions. The second item they chose to put on this piece of paper was, "Since you have chosen to work in a conservative work environment..."It went on to outline their strict dress code. Two of us were hired. The other one later complained to me about the dress code there. I maintain - she knew when she signed up, she agreed to it, she had no leg to stand on.
If you like to work out certain...
