Carolina Vs. ?

We're not sure if Carolina actually played a legitimate NFL team this past Sunday. The Vikings are pathetic this year. Everyone on the team is to blame. The only thing we can hope for now is a decent pick in the draft.
We're actually at a loss for words to explain how the Vikings could improve. We don't think there's much room for improvement with this group of underachievers. The team suffered another blowout and this time it was at the hands of the Panthers.

So what went wrong?

1) Fred Smoot talked a good game prior to playing the Panthers and attempting to cover wide receiver Steve Smith. Prior to game time, Smoot provided some trash talk against Smith. Smoot should have stayed home.
Smoot couldn't cover the broad side of a barn on Sunday and Smith demolished the incompetent Smoot. Steve Smith put up over 200 yards receiving against Smoot and made him look like an amateur.
Smoot better refrain from trash talk in the future. I'm not even sure if he could cover a snail.

2) Duante Culpepper is injured. Culpepper suffered a knee injury early in the first half of Sunday's game. Culpepper will be out for the remainder of the year.
We're not sure that the QB position will actually suffer in his absence. Brad Johnson an NFL veteran will replace Culpepper.
Johnson won't be under pressure because he's not expected to perform at Culpepper's level (Which was terrible this year). Johnson also inherits a terrible record from a terrible team.

3) The rest of the team is inept. There isn't a bright spot on this team. Last week, Edinger kicked a 56 yard field goal. This week he was back to his regular form of missing chip shots.
The Offensive Line is atrocious. They seem unable to block and protect the Quarter Back. This has been a problem for a couple of seasons but things seem to be getting worse every game.

4) Mike Tice is the most to blame. He runs the team and seems as if he hasn't prepared for his weekly games. Tice seems to be overwhelmed by his opponents. Tice's team had a good week against the 1-6 Green bay Packers and then fell to the depths of inferiority this week.
It seems the Vikings get worse every week. Just when you think that they've hit rock bottom, they find a way to amaze us by doing even worse.

This year has been an awful year as a fan. The Vikings have put an inferior product on the field and have even found a way to embarrass themselves off the field.
Sunday's game was terrible and it looked like the Panthers weren't facing an NFL caliber team. We think that a high school team would have done better on Sunday.

Then only thing left for fans is to hope that the Vikings get a good draft pick and send Tice packing at the end of the season.

The World Wide Fashion Craze That is Ed Hardy Clothing

With all of the television buzz and celebrity gossip that surrounds us, not to mention our fast-paced lifestyles, we are sometimes left with little time to focus on fashion. Maybe that's why when a brand comes along that demands our attention, we can't help but jump on the bandwagon. Ed Hardy's unmistakable style and passion will draw you in whether you are seeking it out or not. Whatever the reason, Ed Hardy is a brand that the world just can't seem to get enough of.

Don Ed Hardy, the "godfather of the modern tattoo", took his California influence and combined it with Asian inspirations to come up with the unique style that defines the Ed Hardy clothing line. Hardy began his career as a tattoo artist in San Francisco, and later decided to merge his artwork into fashion design. The rest is history.

In 2002, the Ed Hardy brand came into the public eye when Don Ed Hardy was approached by Ku USA, Inc. The company was interested in producing a clothing line that would feature Hardy's artwork. Hardy Life immediately took off, and in only two years became a major fashion spotlight.

The Ed Hardy line skyrocketed in 2004 with the help of French designer Christian Audigier, who shares Hardy's passion for bold, colorful art and design. The primary force behind the rise of Von Dutch, Audigier linked Ed Hardy to the celebrity world, pushing the brand to the same, if not higher status that he helped Von Dutch to reach.

Madonna, Paris Hilton, Shaquille O'Neal, Busta Rhymes, Britney Spears, Alicia Keys, Denise Richards, Pharrell, Sylvester Stallone, and Shakira have all been seen sporting Ed Hardy.

The major defining point of Ed Hardy clothing is that the pieces are modeled from original tattoos, making them truly unique. Ed Hardy's mesmerizing imagery and vivid colors yield a clothing line that is not only trend setting, but industry changing.

Ed Hardy is more than just clothing...it's art, its counter culture, it's a world wide phenomenom. The Ed Hardy line has become an authority on what's hot and cool in the trendsetting urban markets. It's clear that their sucecess will continue to build momentum and the Ed Hardy / Christian Audigier team are revolutionizing modern fashion design, as the create fashion history.

Ed Hardy Bags are designed by Christian Audigier. Every Ed Hardy Bag is based on an original tattoo design by artist Don Ed Hardy.

Petite is often than not misunderstood as being small. The truth of the matter is that petite does not refer to one?s weight, but is actually referring to one?s height. Petite fashions will come in a wide array of sizes from O to plus sized. Women who have a height below 5?4? are said to be petite whether they are slim, average or has a plus sized frame.

Natalie Portman is just of the petite celebrities of Hollywood. She has even modeled a lot of the petite fashions that many designers have created. Today, more and more designers design clothes suited for petite women. When you are petite, you should avoid colors, prints and cuts that are specifically created for taller women. Petite fashion includes shorter arm sleeves and shorter leg pants, higher waists, and narrower shoulders. Print patterns for petite people are usually smaller and they avoid chunky appearances.

Find Your Perfect Evening Dress

My closet has a variety of dresses. There are conservative dresses for interviews and work, flirty and fun summer dresses and there are even a few cocktail dresses for special occasions. The one dress I don't have, though, is a formal evening dress. But that's about to change. I have been invited to a black tie gala and am on the hunt for the perfect dress.

I began my search by determining the type of dress I need. The difference between an evening dress and a regular dress is the formality of the occasion. Formal dresses are suitable for red carpet, black tie events. A normal every day dress can be worn to work, to dinner or to an informal get together.

It's good to be prepared for any occasion so I'm passing along some tips to remember while looking for your perfect evening dress. Many of these tips are good for moms-to-be, curvy girls, or the average sized woman.

For the Mommy-to-be:
Don't try to hide that tummy under an unattractive loose dress. And for goodness sakes, don't try to skip the event just because you think you look like a beached whale. Maternity designers have added many flattering evening dresses to their lines. If you're only a few weeks from delivery date or just starting to show there is a pretty evening dress that will flatter your figure. The dresses are available in a wide variety of colors and styles just right for the mother-to-be. One of the simplest choices is the little black dress. It's always in style, flatters and slims many figure types and is very versatile. An empire waist is comfortable and flatters the expectant mother.

For plus sizes:
For the curvy figure, evening dresses are widely available in many pretty styles. Of course there is always the little black dress, but why not choose another color in a flattering design. Look for a style that will draw attention to shoulders, flawless skin or your beautiful face. A halter top is a good choice.

The average size woman:
The average sized woman has the most choices in types dresses. There are a huge variety of colors, design details and lengths. The long evening dress can be flowing or clingy, heavy fabric or soft and satiny. The bodice can be strapless, off the shoulder, halter or sweetheart style. No matter your size or shape you can find a variety of evening gowns to fit your occasion.

Designer evening dresses are the envy of every woman. If you're feeling daring and a little sexy, try a full length Jennifer Lopez evening dress. Silky, flowing materials in stunning colors and sexy necklines will make you feel very womanly. Other popular designers include Alex Evenings dresses and Versace.

If the designer brand is out of your price range, consider buying a gown from a lesser-known designer. So, no matter what your occasion is, the size and shape of your body or the size of your budget, every woman can find the perfect dress for her. With a little time and a lot of patience, I found my perfect evening dress to add to the collection of dresses in my closet.

Tina McCarthy provides great information about how to buy an evening gown, plus many other informative articles, at her designer evening gowns website.

Tall Women's Clothing

Tall women require an extra degree of attention in choosing clothing and fashion styles to flatter their figure. For example, if a tall woman wears skirts that are too short or too long, it makes their body look out of proportion. Therefore, it is important that the length of their skirts be at either the knee or just below knee level.

A tall woman can also play down the length of her torso by wearing blouses that fall over the pants and skirts, giving an illusion of a perfectly proportioned figure.

Some fashion experts also suggest that tall women should avoid pants with tapered legs, as they appear to lengthen the legs and accentuate the size of the hips and thighs. Tall women should wear clothes with seam lines, belts, bows and collars to shorten or narrow the torso. They may even wear prints around the neck and over the shoulders, to make those areas appear wider. In fact, low-rise pants and shoes with straps make the legs appear shorter, thus giving the body an evenly proportioned look.

Fashion experts say that too much color for a tall figure can be overwhelming. Therefore, they advise a tall woman to wear several different colors. Wearing the same color of nylons as the skirt and shoe lengthens the leg, so if one wants to have the appearance of shorter legs, then one should wear a natural nylon color.

There are many fashion suggestions for tall women available through various online and catalog stores. Several manufacturers offer clothing designed for taller women. However, getting one's clothes custom tailored might be one of the best options for tall ladies to keep looking great in clothes specifically modified to flatter their figure the best.

Comfort over Trendy - The Ugg Boots

In this day and age where people will go long ways and suffer much discomfort just to be counted among the trendy and fashionable, the Ugg Boot truly stands out as a Pillar against the storm. Originally worn by Australian sheepherders to keep their feet warm, these boots have since 2003, become quite popular in the United States. Such people as Pamela Anderson and Kate Hudson have been known to wear them to keep their feet warm.

Many people would regard these Boots as unfashionable or uncool because the boots look big and odd. Some have even called for a boycott on wearing these boots due to their distaste for its look. Despite all of this, the Ugg boots has been enormously successful and is probably here to stay.

Second, and more importantly, is the fact that these boots are indeed quite comfortable to wear. These boots have been popular with swimmers and surfers since the 1970s and are regularly worn by surfers in California. The design of the boot with its sheepskin results in considerable thermostatic benefits. The boot also boasts fleecy fibers in the interior to allow for air circulation during the summer so your feet to not get overheated. With this combination of warming and cooling, the Ugg boot is the perfect boot for all occasions. Add to this fact that the sheepskin material used to make this boot is generally more comfortable than the standard leather used to make the common boot, and you have a warm and comfortable boot for all seasons.

Despite the comfort reasons, many people will still not wear these boots because of their appearance. But Ugg boots now come in a variety of styles, sizes and colors and can generally be incorporated in any kind of apparel you on wearing. Typically since these boots are usually worn in the winter for thermal insulation, you can wear any kind of Ski wear or even long jeans. In fact any kind of long winter insulated pants will look quite normal and fit perfectly with a pair of matching-color Uggs. If you are still worried about what to wear with them, there are many places online such as the Yahoo Answers Forum which will help you pick out the right apparel to wear with your boots.

So with these fashion concerns answered, there is no reason why you should not join the rush and buy a pair of Ugg boots for this winter.
