editor page I realize that water was very much needed and I am happy we have had enough of it, but I did not expect to have the whole lot in one go. Still I am sure that the sun and hot weather will soon be upon us again and give us another reason to complain about the heat.

Seriously speaking this winter seems to have been particularly hard not just because of the weather but because so many close friends and family members have departed.

On our part we persevere to provide as good a service as we possibly can for our readers and advertisers. I think that this is quietly being noted judging by the amount of attempted copying we get from aspiring competitors, which is both flattering and reassuring.

Did you know that..?

Statistic of the week. In the five months from June, more than 24,000 attempts were made to access “inappropriate” websites from the Houses of Parliament – even though Parliament was not sitting for much of that time. That amounts, on average, to 160 a day. Allegedly, most were accidental. The Times Good week to be a man. Men are enjoying more leisure time than they did 15 years ago – while women have less. According to the Office for National Statistics, men spent 43 hours a week on leisure activities in 2015, up from 42.88 hours in 2000. In the same period, women’s leisure time fell to 38.35 hours, from 39.24. Other surveys suggest that women spending more time caring for adult relatives may be behind the growing disparity. Daily Mail Facebook engineer invents new unit of time.

A software engineer working for Facebook has created a new unit of time, the “flick”. Longer than a nanosecond, the flick is a contraction of “frame-tick” and is 1/705,600,000 of a second.

It has been designated in an attempt to help developers keep video effects in sync. One academic told the BBC that the unit would help improve virtual reality. The Observer Quote of the week. "The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don't wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope." Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States, quoted in The Times.

Adolescence ‘now lasts from age ten to 24’.

Researchers led by a Melbourne team say that adolescence now starts at ten – because better nutrition means humans are maturing sexually at an earlier age – and should be seen as ending until the age of 24, when many people are still in education and have not had their wisdom teeth come through. Some academics have warned that extending the definition of adolescence risks infantilising young people. The Independent Support for second EU referendum grows.

British voters support the idea of a second EU referendum by a 16-point margin, according to an ICM survey for The Guardian. The study found 47% of people would favour having a final say on Brexit once the terms of the UK’s departure are clear, while 34% oppose reopening the question. The research also found that 43% of voters are worried Brexit will have a negative effect on the UK economy. The Guardian Netflix overtakes Goldman Sachs. Netflix’s stock market value topped $100bn for the first time this week, catapulting it above Goldmans Sachs and other masters of the financial universe.

The online media company reached a market capitalisation of $108.31bn early last week. The Times Amazon opened the first supermarket without checkouts. Amazon Go, in Seattle, uses ceilingmounted cameras to identify each customer and track what items they select, eliminating the need for traditional billing.

Explained by Matecno S.L.

Understanding Spanish

building rules and regulations It would have saved a lot of grief if some of those who had decided to build their own properties some years ago had been aware that even in Spain there are building rules and regulations that need to be adhered to. We are providing the following information for general guidance only, mainly to show that you must always seek the advice of a qualified professional. It works out cheaper and safer in the end.

There are two categories of planning zones for building: 1. Rustic (rural) plots (suelo rustico) The rural land law governs the building rules of rural sites. And here again, some rural land is protected, so that all plots fall under one of the two following criteria: •

Suelo no urbanizable protegido. This is special, protected land which cannot be developed for residential homes.

•

Suelo no urbanizable común. This category has no special protection and can be developed for residential houses for private use with the following restrictions: - A Plot size: minimum 10,000m2 - B Maximum building size: 2% of the . plot size - C Floors: 2 - D Height: 7m

8

www.webexpressguide.com

Special Restrictions: All rustic plots have aesthetic restrictions depending on the local appearance regulations.

2. Urban plots (suelo urbano) In the first instance do not buy a plot without a certificado urbanistico. Each Ayuntamiento has its own rules but they define urbanised plots with access roads, water and electricity and they confirms the type of plot, the occupation purpose, building space and type of building.

A licencia (building permit) must be obtained before the construction of any building can begin, including any work carried out on an existing building where this work would change the image change the usage, exterior appearance, modify the volume, or where extra storeys would be created.

There are two types of building permits: 1. Permit for minor works: walls, terraces, and barbecues.

2. Permit for major works: new buildings, alterations, and demolitions.

PROPERTY INVESTMENT

To obtain a building permit for minor works, you need a licencia de obra menor from your Town Hall. Your request should include a small description of the work to be undertaken and an estimation of the costs. There will be a tax to pay at the end of the job, normally around 4 to 6% of the construction cost.

normally be delivered within two months.

If the building authority does not give you a notification within two months, you will automatically obtain the license, assuming that the correct information was submitted and it complies with building regulations.

To obtain a building permit for major works you will need:

All parties involved in the construction of the building are expected to carry some responsibility. Without prejudice to their contractual responsibilities, the individuals or legal entities who assist in the building process are liable to the owners and thirdparty buyers of the building or any parts of it, should the building be divided.

1. Technical dossier (proyecto) created by an architect registered in the Spanish architecture college 2. A technical architect (aparejador), normally chosen by the architect. The technical architect is the site manager in official control of the building site 3. A builder All three of these professionals have to sign the application.

The application is submitted either in person or by registered post to the local mayor, and it is usually processed within two months of receipt.

Responsibilities

Responsibilities reflect on property damages affecting the building within a specified time, starting on the date of the commencement of the works without reservation or starting on the date of the correction of such reservations.

A letter of notification will be sent following the submission with the application number. After an examination confirming that the correct information has been presented, details of the request will be posted in the Town Hall. The application will be verified for compliance with the building rules.

RECIPE

The Chef at KOKOMO says

Spring Lamb Hotpot

I suggest this cheap and easy recipe.

It’s still very cold it and it would be a great time to try this out INGREDIENTS • • • • • • • • •

4 thick lamb neck chops plain flour, for dredging good glug fruity olive oil 3 onions, peeled and cut into wedges 2-3 large parsnips, peeled and cut into sixths 6 large, juicy garlic cloves, peeled, cut in half salt and freshly ground black pepper 6-8 fresh rosemary sprigs 6-8 small potatoes cut in half

METHOD 1. Preheat the oven to 170C/350F/ Gas 4.

2. Lightly dredge the lamb chops in the flour. Heat the oil in a shallow ovenproof pan with a lid, then add the lamb chops and cook until browned on both sides. Remove the lamb from the pan and set aside. Add the onions, parsnips and garlic to the same pan and cook for 2-3 minutes. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper and add the rosemary.

3. Return the lamb chops to the pan, tuck the potatoes around the chops, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper and pour in just enough water to cover the pan contents. Cut out a circle of greaseproof paper the same size and shape as the inside of the pan. Place the paper circle over the lamb and vegetables, then cover the pan with the lid.

WHATS NEWS

An introduction to Belgian cuisine

by Chef Alexandre What I believe in and what I practice is modern Belgian cuisine in the quality and fine presentation of French food with impeccable service.

Every dish is carefully designed to exact standards using only top-quality produce and products and the daily selection of meats and fish are freshly prepared daily, this can be seen from the open kitchen. I think that seeing your meal being prepared is an assurance of cleanliness and freshness.

I draw on modern international trends and emphasize the natural flavour of ingredients with a wide range of aromas and textures.

You are welcome to try the different tasting menus varying between 4 courses, 5 courses and 6 courses, a unique and unforgettable experience.

Modern Hearing Aids The technology of hearing aids has come a long way since the large bulky devices of the past that often had wires hanging from them. Now, they are discreet and comfortable, and can help you get back in touch with the world around you. By In the past, hearing aids were powered by analogue technology, but like the rest of the world, they are now digital. That means they are smarter than ever and allow you to hear more sounds around you, more clearly and connect in ways you never thought were possible.

The world is full of sounds that we do not want to miss: voices, music, the bounce of a basketball, even the sound signal of crossing. Your brain is equipped with an amazing ability to make sense of sounds, and uses different tactics depending on noise levels. Our advanced technologies take full advantage of this feature to help you listen and focus on what is important to you.

Our hearing aid technology at Audilens is designed to be comfortable, durable and attractive. The devices are designed for discretion, but the controls are always distinguishable to the touch and easy to manage.

All our hearing aids feature iSolate nanotechnology that protects each device component with a powder and water repellent coating. The battery 24

www.webexpressguide.com

compartment is twice as solid as legislation requires. Together, these features provide maximum durability and minimize repairs.

Most modern hearing aids use Bluetooth technology to connect directly to a phone that allows personalization through an application.

Imagine being able to adjust the volume of your hearing aids or change the program without having to reach behind your ear.

This technology also allows you to stream audio from your iPhone, iPad or iPod directly to your hearing aids. If you have a different phone, you can use a discreet wireless accessory to transmit the sound.

Imagine answering a phone call and hearing the call clearly and directly in your ears.

We have a hearing aid for each individual person.

The smile is a powerful communication tool When quality matters (by The Dentist in Sotogrande)

Good “Cosmetic Dentistry” and the art of “Extreme Makeover Dentistry”, has to be a balance between science, the latest technologies, good craftmanship and a highly skilled artistic ability. If you are wanting to create a new smile or simply to restore your existing one, it has to be beautiful, and it has to be you!

A tailormade work of art, precisely created, and personal to you, taking in to account your face, lips and skin tone. Who can you trust to perform such an important and sometimes life changing procedure, as arranging a new smile for you?

It’s one thing to have a broken tooth fixed, but it’s something else asking someone to change your face and look, and perhaps create brand new front teeth!

For this kind of work, you need to select a good “Dental Stylist”. This means a dentist and a dental technician, both highly skilled and trained for the proportioning of how the teeth should suit the face. There is actually a set standard for how a perfect smile should look, just as Leonardo da Vinci used the “Classical Proportions” in his paintings.

28

www.webexpressguide.com

When creating a smile, the front teeth must be placed correctly, if not, your speach can be affected. Another important part of the perfect smile is the harmony between the front and back teeth. A beautiful smile should look good not only from the front, but also when viewed from the side. Its like a choir, the soloist might be good, but backing singers are still needed to make a choir song good.

It is the creative and artistic application of these procedures that differentiate “Extreme Makeover Dentistry” from the broader term of “Cosmetic Dentistry”. This gift is not given for free and it’s something not every dentist is capable of carrying out.

OUR AIM IS TO FIND AN APPROPRIATE TREATMENT FOR OBESITY THAT WILL RESULT IN A PERMANENT SOLUTION.

HEALTH

Obesity and Gastric bypass Gastric bypass is the surgical reduction of the stomach’s size.

You begin to eat less and start to lose weight quickly.

“Laparoscopic gastric bypass” is a technique by which the stomach is left with a capacity of 15 to 30 ml and is connected directly to the small intestine. As a result, food skips a large segment of the small intestine, reducing absorption of calories and nutrients. Furthermore, due to the small size of the stomach, the amount of food that one is able to eat is reduced and you feel satiated with less while beginning to lose weight.

This is currently one of the most commonly practiced surgeries for severe obesity. It is considered to be one the surgeries with the best results, and one that least affects the quality of life for the person who undergoes the surgery.

•

Who is the ideal candidate, and who is not?

•

Doctor Ruiz Orellana, specialist in General Surgery and the Digestive System at HC Marbella advises that this type of surgery is not for everyone. Saying that: “Ideal candidates for gastric bypass are those that fit the following conditions”:

•

• •

•

30

Patients should be between 18 and 65 years of age, although patients outside of this range may be considered.

Have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or greater or have a BMI of 35-40 with serious related health problems, such as diabetes, cardiac issues, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or sleep apnoea.

Men who have more than 45 kilos (100 pounds) of excess weight and well above their ideal weight; women who have more than 36 kilos (80 pounds) of excess weight above their ideal weight.

www.webexpressguide.comHC

• •

• • •

Those who are obese and have already tried other weight loss methods.

Be willing to live a healthy lifestyle that includes a regular exercise regimen for the rest of their life.

Must not have alcohol or drug abuse issues Must not have an untreated psychiatric condition according to a psychologist or psychiatrist Understand and complete the instructions and guidelines of the program Understand and accept the risks of the weight loss surgery Have a support network of friends and family that will help achieve the goal of a health weight Accept complying to long-term followups

Gastric bypass presents numerous advantages: •

Rapid weight loss. On average a loss of 60-70% of the excess weight. It is considered to be a success if at least half of the excess weight is lost, although in some cases, patients regain a part of the lost weight.

No surgery is successful for 100% of patients.

It stops food calories from being absorbed as they would have been.

It improves the treatment of certain pathologies (up to 80%) such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, asthma, gastritis and sleep apnoea.

Improves backaches, arthritis, and depression in 70% patients.

Deficit in the absorption of sugars and fats that help with weight loss – produced by the mixed surgical procedure that is the bypass itself.

At HC Marbella gastric bypass is performed by laparoscopy, which is more advantageous than conventional surgery and it reduces the time spent in the hospital to three days.

Gastric bypass offers great advantages that speak for themselves, however one must remember that it is important to know that this surgery is associated to a malabsorptive component, which requires the restoration of some minerals and vitamins, typically iron, vitamin B12, requiring greater nutritional control.

Furthermore, as the surgery is a mechanic medium to control food, the cooperation of the patient is needed to adapt their lifestyle to the new conditions presented by the surgery and commit to a diet program that covers their nutritional and vitamin needs.

Once a balanced weight is achieved (not predictable in advance), the body readjusts to the new intake and self-maintains the weight.

The Nutrition Centre at HC Marbella will create a personalised diet program to cover your nutritional and vitamin needs, but you will have to commit yourself to maintaining healthy eating habits.

One of the main factors for a successful gastric bypass is the firm commitment to a healthy lifestyle.

If you, or someone close to you, is severely obese, please consult HC Marbella. We will carefully study you case in order to help you stop obesity from negatively affecting your life and the life of those around you. You will be in a relaxed, comfortable, and modern environment that will help you feel at ease from the start.

You choose your goals badly. You must be realistic about the targets you set yourself. Don’t try to reach your target all in one go.

You are confused. It’s necessary to think through realistically the goals you want to accomplish.

You are experiencing a conflict of interests. In order to achieve your target, do not change any important values in your life.

There is no challenge that motivates you. A lack of incentive to push you to achieve an objective is fuel for demotivation. Set a target, however small it may be, for any new activity or project.

Doubts materialise. When faced with change, doubts arise. Ask for help from people who can advise you about the process of change so that you feel good and can give the best of yourself.

What is most important is to know how to handle your emotions, as they can have an influence on your physical and mental health.

To avoid being overwhelmed by emotional anxiety and, to reach that ‘essential peace of mind’, it’s necessary to uncover the causes for the lack of motivation and to try to overcome them: 32

Use outward signs to see if you are suffering from stress: increased pulse rate, dry mouth, stomach pains, muscles tension.

Put into words what is happening to you: so that you can identify the problem and talk about it with a specialist if you need to.

Avoid any situation that activates your anxiety level and be prepared to tackle it.

Don’t exaggerate the problems: stop and think about what is causing you emotional anxiety.

When you are aware of a stressful situation ahead, fight it, then do something else. This will distract you.

Turn to your family and your friends: they will help you face the problem.

Use relaxation techniques: to help you act more calmly.

Motivation is the driving force of your daily life. Seek realistic aims and avoid everything that prevents you from achieving them.

MY OPINION

Internet advertising

has become a counter-productive nuisance.

It is impossible to say exactly, but there must be over one billion websites online in the world today. Promoting and placing your business in the internet “shop widow� is the main reason for having a website and that is certainly a very positive marketing stride.

It is simply fantastic to be able to promote one’s business and even to provide goods and services online, the idea being that it saves time and money and even costs to seller as well as buyer. But is it really happening as it was intended?

The problem starts when businesses want to tell you about their products and services and give you their website address while competing for visibility with the rest of the billion websites online.

Unfortunately, one thing that is being overlooked is that internet users, that is the consumers, are sick and tired of being pestered and bombarded with addresses, products and services all pushed down their throats. What a nuisance!

I, for one, am fed up to the back teeth when opening my e-mail every morning and having to try to identify those important messages that are genuinely intended for me and my business. Some days I have to go through hundreds of junk-mails in order to delete it, making sure it was not a genuine message. Yes of course I mark each one as junk and block it, but they keep coming back again and again wasting my precious working time day after day. Apparently, you cannot really block spam. www.webexpressguide.com

37

MY OPINION

Who wants to read them anyway? What is the point of them? You can try and increase the mail filter level, but then you run the risk of sending some genuine message to the junk file, so you have to go through the junk file anyway and check it before deleting its contents.

They say that nowadays the majority of people use mobile phones and tablets because of their versatility, and I agree. I use my mobile constantly through the day, unfortunately here again I get interrupted and become extremely annoyed with the unwanted popups that keep “popping up”. This is a real nuisance just as it is a nuisance when every time you try and look for something online.

Whilst it may be fun for teenagers to use mobile phones, and most of them do, it certainly is no fun for everyone else who wants to get on with his business, and it this 38

www.webexpressguide.com

constant pestering that consumers dislike most. Any way the most serious consumers are not teenagers and kids.

Even the very search engines that are supposed to help find what one is looking for seem to be abusing the system. Take the “clicks per impression idea”.

It is a known fact that the ratio of success is 0.1-0.3%. This means that only one person out of 330 that see your ad will actually click on it. Perhaps it is clearer to say that 99.7% of all the people who see your ad won’t click on it! And what is worse is that 34% of clicks are by mistake. So, what is the point of duping the advertiser into thinking he is creating more awareness for his business when the greater benefit is represented by the amount the advertiser pays the search engine for the useless clicks.

MY OPINION

Advertising is only getting more and more pervasive, obnoxious, and intrusive.

According to recent consumer surveys, digital advertising doesn't exactly have the best report. Pop-ups interrupt the browsing experience at every turn. Creepy remarketing stalks you with the same display ad everywhere you go. Auto playing videos embarrass you in waiting rooms and on buses. You can hardly read a news article without having to scroll past a dozen ads and accidentally click on one of them.

After years and years of advertising, consumers generally dislike adverts. They see advertisements on buses, newspapers, magazines, notices, placards, posters and so on, but these are inobtrusive. Consumers will look at them if they want to, if it pleases them to do so, if and when they are looking for something in particular. They have the choice to decide. What they do hate is the invasion of their privacy as for instance when they watch a TV program IN THEIR OWN HOME that gets interrupted forcing them to watch adverts against their will. It is like that phone call in the evening from the sales person that tries to sell you insurance or internet connection or something else.

In my view, online social pages are acceptable in as much as people and probable consumers will visit them intentionally by choice, which is very different from visiting a search engine in order to look for something specific and getting pestered by distracting and timewasting adverts and pop-ups.

According to recent statistics, it would seem that I may be right about what I am saying: • • • •

91% of people say online ads are more intrusive today than 2-3 years ago 87% say there are more online ads in general than 2-3 years ago 79% feel like they're being tracked by retargeted ads.

Being tracked amounts to stalking, and that makes it even worse.

In my view, advertising businesses and consumers, are both being exploited by certain companies with the sole object of lining their own pockets under the pretext that they are helping advertisers to be seen by consumers. In reality they are achieving the opposite by making consumer sick of seeing advertisers and their products.

Advertisers should become aware of these negative factors if they want their advertising and promotion to be effective. They should stick to the unobtrusive type of adverts and use the internet as their online shop window.

Banners in search engines I believe are acceptable as long as they do interfere with searches but giving the users an opportunity of finding what they are looking for easier.

Quite frankly I believe “spammers” should be identified and heavily fined to discourage the use of such a destructive method of useless advertising.

THAT'S LIFE

Is there life after death?

The eternal question to which nobody seems to have an answer.

We are born, we live our life the way we shape it and then we die. What comes after that?

Some atheists say that there is nothing after death, others that we re-incarnate and others that we live on as spirits. Buddhists and Hindus believe in re-incarnation. Christians and Muslims believe in Paradise or Hell while the Jews believe in reincarnation and/or Paradise.

Spiritualists believe in afterlife in a Spirit world.

The thing is that nobody really knows for sure.

Some speak of their near-death experiences and the bright light, others seem to remember certain events that have supposedly taken place in their previous life.

According to the Bible, Revelation chapter 21 verse 3-4, NLT “God himself will be with them, he will remove all of their sorrows, and there will be no more death, or sorrow, or crying or pain.” And the Bible 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 42-44, NLT “Our earthly bodies, which die and decay, will be different when they are resurrected, for they will never die….”.

Orson Wells said: “We’re born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we’re not alone”.

Let me help you not to feel alone, “call me, talk to me, tell me what is on your mind. My name is Leslie and nothing would please me more”.

My number is +34 646 19 43 77

I am available 24 hours or If you prefer send me an email at leslie@camero.es

I see death almost every day, but I cannot say what happens afterwards, the only thing is that there seems to be a common denominator suggesting that you shape your own life and you are judged as good or bad at the end of it. What seems to be important is how to memorialize your loved ones and dispose of your remains.

What do you want to happen to your remains after you die?

Recognition of the deceased is important because it reinforces the reality of a loved one’s death.

FINANCE

How does a paying plan work with social security?

By Limit Consulting

If you owe money to the Social Security you can apply for a deferred paying plan.

If you miss one or more payments to the social security you can still obtain a payslip in the following months with some over charges.

2.

10% if it is paid during the following month 20% if it is paid one more month later

3.

Should the debt be pending for over 2 months, it will be pursued by another department (Executive Collections) which will attempt to get it paid with an embargo on your bank account. Unless the debt is moved to this status it will not show up in a certificate of debt and when debts are paid before the 2 months they do not have any impact on debt records.

Account embargos do not have a predictable timing and may surprise you at any time.

To avoid this, with its consequence on your cashflow, reach an agreement with the social security for a deferred paying plan.

To be eligible for a plan you need to meet these conditions:

1.

The debt must be more than 2 months old, meaning that you need to make sure that the current month and the previous are paid. (the reason for this will be understood later on)

44

www.webexpressguide.com

Your application must include all the debt. If you hold 2 businesses under your name, you would have to include them both.

If on the outstanding amount there is a non-postponable one, approximately 20% you need to settle this before signing the agreement.

4.

Finally, if you miss an instalment, you have 1 month to catch up before the agreement is cancelled.

5.

While paying your instalments you must pay your regular social security otherwise your agreement will be cancelled.

(This why you need to make sure your last two months are paid before entering into an agreement).

If you cannot apply for one yet, say the 20% to settle is un-affordable at the moment or you still need to pay previous months, you can always reduce the debt by making interim payments of any amount. This will not stop the attempts to collect via embargoes.

Paying on time will avoid overcharges.

Peace of mind,

your best equity

PRET A PORTER

Vas enseñándolo todo, pero con estas 3 fórmulas maestras no querrás disimularlo TRENDENCIAS

Lo de esconder el sujetador es cosa del pasado, cuando las espaldas al aire eran imposibles porque se veía el broche y todas pecamos de llevar tirantes transparentes, uno de los grandes NO de la moda actual. Lo de la lencería es un tema de extremos.

Un día es tabú y hay que esconderla y otro queremos que se nos vea hasta el ombligo. Pero es que es tan bonita. Y el encaje tan delicado. No seamos tímidas, con estas tres fórmulas todas querremos enseñarlo todo.

52

www.webexpressguide.com

PRET A PORTER

Y no solo por la zona del escote se puede enseñar el sujetador. Esas espaldas al aire que antes nos exigían ir sin ropa interior para ser sensuales ahora se vuelven más intrincadas y llamativas gracias a las líneas del sujetador.

¿Qué asoma por ahí?

Las más correctas y clásicas se sentirán muy divididas: por un lado todas tenemos ese sujetador de encaje precioso que nos morimos por enseñar. Y por otro, hay que ser muy atrevida para hacerlo. Si no sabes por dónde coger esta tendencia, puedes dejar que el encaje asome una pizca por encima de la camiseta, de forma casual y así, como quien no quiere la cosa. Conseguirás un toque sexy y chic sin perder la sofisticación.

www.webexpressguide.com

53

PRET A PORTER

Una cosa sí quita la otra Si eres de las que cuando ve una tendencia, va a por todas, esta segunda opción te ayudará a marcarte un all in en toda regla. ¿Para qué ponerte camiseta si el sujetador hace las funciones de croptop? No hablamos de ir en pelota picada, sino de usarlo con prendas que cubran a medias la zona superior, como petos vaqueros, pichis o blazers abrochadas. ¡Toma sexy!

Un body pa' mi body Los bodies se han puesto de moda, sustituyendo a las camisetas de tirantes cortas este verano. Sin embargo, eso son los bodies de algodón, bordados y con aspecto de top ultra ajustado. Aquí vamos a hablar de bodies lenceros, de los que te pondrías para triunfar una noche. Ahora también lo petarás durante el día.

WHATS NEWS

Las estatuas de mujeres de Nueva York amanecen cubiertas de flores por el Día de la Mujer El Día de la Mujer es un día para la celebración, la reivindicación y también para el recuerdo de las grandes mujeres de la historia que fueron pioneras en abrir camino a las que llegamos después. Por eso, la marca Old Navy ha decidido homenajear a varias de ellas, las que tienen una estatua dedicada a ellas en la ciudad de Nueva York, haciendo que amanecieran en el Día de la Mujer cubiertas con flores. Así hemos visto a Eleanor Roosevelt, Gertrude Stein, Golda Meir, Harriet Tubman, Juana de Arco y, por supuesto, a la niña sin miedo de Wall Street.

TRENDENCIAS

Old Navy ha querido con esta iniciativa, no solo homenajear a estas mujeres, y por extensión a todas, sino también hacer relevante el hecho de que, de las más de ciento cincuenta estatuas que hay en la ciudad, solo cinco se refieren a mujeres relevantes de la historia.

Las instalaciones florales que han elegido, que utilizan los colores predominantes en la colección de primavera de la marca, se unen al lanzamiento de una camiseta con mensaje feminista para conmemorar este día

PRICKLY PAIR

I am amazingly lucky, blessed as I am with a fabulous figure, even though I eat like Pavarotti on death row, but I appreciate that there are those less fortunate, who it would seem will stop at nothing in the quest for “the body beautiful”.

I find my tiny frame trembling with horror at the mere mention of the macabre sounding self-mutilation on offer.

In those enlightened good old days, if you found yourself turning into Hattie Jaques, you adjusted into a few more yards of crimplene and swapped your stilettos for a pair of Hush Puppies.

Sucked, tucked & plucked!

Someone famous once said “A woman can never be too rich, or too thin” and that is half right because you can never be too rich!

58

www.webexpressguide.com

The radical eighties gave dieting a scientific angle, or tried to, with “slimfast”, which really is “Angel Delight” in a tin. The clever Americans who make it had plenty of gullible “Gordos” filled to the gills with the stuff because Uncle Sam told us it was scientifically worked out.

In the nineties we were shaking our bodies and not our “slimfast”.

Every A, B and C list celebrity under ten stone had a “work out” video on sale. Between Jane Fonda “feeling the burn” and the green Goddess telling mature ladies to gently squat, the video shops were full of something ranging from soft porn to the grim reapers P.R. That is well behind us now. Weight loss, plastic surgery, liposculpture and any number of other unpronounceable tweaking has shot into another galaxy.

PRICKLY PAIR

But thanks to some very glossy, very swanky magazines available close by, all manner of pseudo medical jargon is explained and, if you can’t read, there are plenty of pictures.

So many pictures that at one point I thought I was looking at some poor unfortunate’s varicose veins when in reality I was studying a useful map showing a clinics whereabouts.

So, what’s available on the modern day Frankenstein’s menu?

For starters you can ease your way in gently with “Rhinoplasty”, that’s the funky new name for a nose job. While you are it, why not kill two birds with one stone and go for a “Blepharoplasty”. That one deals with what your granny might have called “crow’s feet”, so you could in effect stone the crow’s feet.

Moving on to the main course, “Endermology” (cellulite), “Phlebology” (varicose veins) and “Microdermabrasion”. Surely you do that last one on your own!

I don’t pretend to understand or in fact want to know all the technical ins and outs of plastic surgery but, cosmetic surgery for Ken and Barbie personified aside, plastic surgery does have another face (no pun intended) and has been one area of medicine that has performed some minor miracles for burns victims, birth deformities and all manner of other very worthy, deserving causes.

Every branch of medicine, especially those dealing with aesthetics improvement, has a commercial private sector and the private clinics will mushroom in any place where the population has deep pockets and shallow beliefs. All this perfect ten paranoia is kept simmering away by the glossy, swanky magazines. You won’t find anybody there wearing a size 18 dress (except perhaps Pavarotti).

I worry about the beautiful people. Most of them are so pumped full of silicone that topping up the orange tan must be a bit like Russian Roulette; how many of them run the risk of ending up as a puddle of melted silicone., when the midday sun hits 38º?

Imagine the poor relatives only being able to identify the body by its Rolex, Mercedes key ring and a set of porcelain teeth!

Still, look at the bright side. Funeral costs won’t eat into your inheritance if you can send them off in style in a milk bottle.

Some people it seems will go to any length and endure any amount of what must be very painful surgery just to keep old Father Time and his brother Gravity off the Christmas card list.

I for one, will not be visiting any of those Carnal Anatomical Clinics, in fact I am sure some of them are so scary you would be hard pushed to even drag Mulder & Scully into them.

On the other hand, however, and just for the record, there are the soft option beauty clinics, the ones that don’t offer to turn you into Hannibal Hectors party frocks.

If you don’t feel ready to cut off what nature gave you, how about “Chocotherapy”. Something described as “a stimulating and invigorating treatment using melted chocolate, with Brazilian coffee and Madagascar cloves as a base”. It sounds good to me!

So, it looks like it all boils down to a choice between looking like a giant ripple or a raw liver lollipop. I know what gets my vote and I will just have to take my chocolate like a man!
