A Review of Faux Fur Coats

February 18th, 2010 No Comments   Posted in Uncategorized

Many people are of the opinion that faux fur coats are rather gaudy, but personally I happen to think that if done properly they can look fantastic. The great thing about a faux fur coat is that you can get it in any style of animal that you want. You couldn’t get a real tiger coat, but a tiger faux fur coat? I own several of these exotic coats and I love them. The field the soft ground for is really unparalleled and the imitation of the animals coloring and patterns makes a quality faux fur coat the fun thing to wear.

Of course a lot of my friends have a good chuckle over my choices of faux fur coats. “You are a successful business woman,” they say, “what are you wearing and not God when he could actually be wearing the real thing?” “No chance,” I reply, and I proceed to tell them about why I have a love affair with my faux fur coat. What is tacky isn’t wearing a faux fur coat, it is, in my estimation, sporting something barbaric, cruel, and absurdly expensive on my back when the imitations are so clever as to be almost as good as the original.

Not to mention are just as warm and comfortable as the real thing. A fur coat only tells someone that you are rich, something which I don’t particularly care to broadcast to the world. I’m not quite that insecure. A faux fur coat tells people that you are a creature of unique and individual tastes who refuses to follow convention. That’s what I would like the world to know about me

I have been queried, because I like faux fur coats so much, if there are any other synthetic material is a prefer used over their natural counterparts. While I do confess a certain fondness for pleather, in that case it is usually far superior in my estimation to deal with the authentic article. For starters, I don’t feel anywhere near as guilty buying leather as I would if I bought fur.

While only one cow was slaughtered to make my leather jacket, dozens of poor adorable little rabbits would have to give their lives to make one actual rabbit fur coat. I don’t know that is fair or even make sense, but either way that’s how I feel. I guess it’s probably not so fair for the cow.

Besides that, leather is much softer and suppler than pleather. Although a faux fur coat is often as smooth and pleasant as real fur without the possibility of allergens, between pleather and good leather, there is scarcely more than a similarity. Others actually pretty basic that you prefer it to be either black or brown. It comes from a single animal, and in only a select few colors, so there is no sense in getting pleather in something along the lines of a zebra pattern. Now that’s tacky.

Miken Baseball Bat Review

February 17th, 2010 No Comments   Posted in Uncategorized

Before I start with the baseball bat review, let’s begin with the name. Miken is a combination of the names of its two founders, Mike and Ken. I had always thought it was the name of a well known softball player.

Miken was founded in 1997 as a manufacturer of composite golf club shafts and soon began manufacturing softball bats with its composite material. They expanded into baseball bats and continue to manufacture composite only bats.

In 2004 Miken was purchased by K2 (the ski company) which also owns the Rawlings and Worth brands. There’s no doubt Miken composite material is now well integrated into Rawlings and Worth bats. I’m sure most of the bats of each brand are identical except for the name on the paint. This now explains why Worth has the most over hyped spin on their bats, remember RAV? Worth is on the bottom of K2’s totem pole and the writers must be out of material by then.

Anyway, Miken manufactures decent bats but there are better options in the marketplace. You won’t see many Miken bats in the hands of baseball players at any age level. So you might feel lonely if you own one. Here’s what they offer:

100% Composite:

- Heat: 100% composite, one piece bat with a stiff or flex handle. Miken has taken the lead from Easton and is wise to offer an option on the handle. Unfortunately, this bat is priced too high in my opinion. It retails for $379 putting it in the Stealth IMX/Synergy category, and the Stealth IMX/Synergy is a proven commodity.

- Torch: 100 % composite, one piece bat with a stiff handle. This bat retails for $299. I like the Louisville Omaha Comp in this composite price range, as it’s also a proven commodity.

- Burn ESD – Miken also produces the Burn ESD, but it seems to be on the discount rack. I do not recommend it.

As mentioned, there’s nothing wrong with a Miken bat except there are better options in the marketplace. Go with the other options.

The functioning of this straightener is further enhanced by built-in ionic generator and LED electronic temperature controls. A range of other distinctive features also form part of this styler, such as on / off adjustable settings up to 450 degrees, professional 360 degree swivel cord to prevent tangling, and AC 110V 60Hz for its usage in USA and Canada.

A Review of Banana Republic Clothing

February 10th, 2010 No Comments   Posted in Uncategorized

There’s no denying that fashion plays a huge role in modern society. It doesn’t matter where you live, the current trends and styles are sure to be in your community. You simply can’t escape them. You may not conform to wearing them, but they’ll still be beamed into your home right through your TV set. Banana Republic clothing is a great example of what I mean. Our society gets absolutely exercised over whatever is the latest and coolest trend. We love to look nice, and many of us will pay a pretty penny to do so. It’s just in our nature.

Banana Republic clothing is a division of Gap Inc. in case you didn’t realize it. I was out shopping for jeans in the Gap this weekend or a lovely young lady came to help me out. She spoke of Banana Republic, which baffled me. Was she really talking up a competitor? No, not quite. They’re actually resides a working relationship between the Banana Republic, Gap, and Old Navy. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that there are in cahoots. They are different price ranges for different shopping audiences by extension they appeal to everyone across the economic stratus. It’s a pretty smart way to do business I think. That’s probably why they’ve been in business for so many years.

I first noticed Banana Republic clothing when I was getting ready to do a photo shoot. I needed some sharp looking clothes that look really good in front of the camera. The photographer mentioned Banana Republic to so I went over and took a look. I was a bit surprised, but I really liked what I saw. If you’re going for a kind of up-beat, high fashion look in a modern world, Banana Republic clothing is just the ticket. Whether many of us males will be honest enough to admit it or not, we also liked to look fashionable. There’s no doubt about it, that the ladies love guys that dress well. Women go out of their way to look nice, why would they want a PC with a slap. It’s pretty universal actually. They will tell you that a shmo is a tuxedo looks a lot nicer than a shmo in a torn pair of jeans and a dirty T-shirt.

My wife also loves Banana Republic clothing. It offers her a nice business-sheik look for her profession. I have no idea what that means, but that’s what she told me. It can get a bit pricey for some items, but considering the costs at some of the other clothing stores that she frequents, I’d say it’s really not so bad after all.

You can easily see for yourself by going for a quick browse through Nordstrom’s or Guess. Looking nice nowadays can be a costly endeavor. It really doesn’t matter if you’re a man or woman, you may find a style right for you in Banana Republic. They cater quite nicely to both sides of the gender stew. The clothing is suited for those in a business atmosphere, or those who are interested in looking chic for a night out on the town. Whatever your style, you’ll likely find something exciting in Banana Republic.
