bullet proof clothing

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Miguel Caballero is a bulletproof clothing company based in Bogot?, Colombia with outlets in Mexico City and Sao Paulo. [1]

He joined forces with the Duke of Ubino, and together they produced the very first “bulletproof clothing”. [...] Not only does a good bulletproof product protect against projectiles, but also against blunt force trauma and, depending on the type, against knives as well. [2]

Please introduce links to this page from other articles related to it. [1]

I hate the stiffness of line-dried clothes, but I hang them out to dry anyway. [2]

This anti-ballistic (bullet proof) polo shirt takes safety to an altogether new level. [3]

It is best known for its fashion line of bulletproof clothing and counts among its clients Prince Felipe of Spain, the actor Steven Seagal, President ?lvaro Uribe of Colombia, President Hugo Ch?vez of Venezuela, President Barack Obama of the United States of America and other heads of state. [1]

This is the ultimate fashion statement which will not only be the envy of all your friends but will protect you from all of your enemies (like jilted lovers, ex-spouses or rabid neo-cons) who would like to see you dead. [...] Caballero sells a line of armored clothing that fits like Armani but deflects point-blank gunfire like the Popemobile. [...] Last year the 38-year-old entrepreneur sold an estimated $7 million worth of bulletproof trench coats, business suits, suede jackets, and denim casuals to executives, political leaders, undercover agents, and other VIPs - people who demand more than a bodyguard for protection and don’t like the bulk or SWAT-team look of flak jackets and vests. [4]

High profile clients include action hero Steven Seagal, King Abdullah of Jordan, President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, President Alvaro Uribe of Colombia, Prince Felipe of Spain, and other notable V.I.P.’s. [3]

Modern Mexican clothing has a great deal in common with modern North American culture. [2]

In 2005 Miguel Caballero was selected as one of the 31 best business ideas in the world by Business 2.0 magazine. [...] The company began by making bulletproof leather and suede jackets, but has now expanded to other clothes, including raincoats, blazers, and a women’s line. [1]

anne hathaway oscar dress

Monday, August 31st, 2009

When I saw this dress, I said, ‘That’s heaven.’” [1]

Actress Anne Hathaway poses in the press room during the 79th Annual Academy Awards at the Kodak Theatre on February 25, 2007 in Hollywood, California. [2]

If you’re going to win, this is the dress to do it in. [3]

Anne Hathaway has established herself as a consistent force on the red carpet, thanks in large part to her work with stylist Rachel Zoe. [...] In 2008 Marchesa was the designer of Anne Hathaway’s Oscar dress, so it’s likely she will go with Marchesa again in 2009. [4]

Oscar winner Kate Winslet capped off her fabulous red carpet streak in a flawless nod to Old Hollywood in a one-shoulder, gun metal gray Yves Saint Laurent gown with a lace embroidered sleeve and Mad Men-era hairstyle. [3]

She wore one of my favorite gowns of last year to the Venice premiere of Rachel Getting Married, an Atelier Versace gown in soft greens and blues. [...] Check out the gowns the stars wore to past events, and read our picks for what the nominees should be wearing. [2]

This year she kept it simple in a glittering Armani Priv? gown paired with her beauty standards: strong lip color and a low chignon. [...] She might also go with an Atelier Versace dress as she wore this gown for the Venice premiere of Rachel Getting Married. [4]

The actress let the dress take center stage and complemented it with simple diamond earrings. [5]

Yes, Angelina wore yet another black frock, this one by Elie Saab, but the insanely good looking Changeling star went total Hollywood glam with big hair, a tasteful amount of cleavage, and green Lorraine Schwartz earrings with a matching ring for some pizzaz. [3]

Anne Hathaway was a modern day goddess in a draped crimson gown with rosette detail. [5]

I’d love to see Hathaway continue to wear lots of color on the red carpet (I didn’t like her Armani Priv? Golden Globes gown for that reason–navy is just not that exciting). [2]

NAGASAKI, JAPAN: MISC Bhd’s latest liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier was named last week by Yang Amat Berbahagia Datin Seri Jeanne Abdullah, wife of the Prime Minister of Malaysia, at a ceremony held at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) shipyard in Nagasaki, Japan. [1]

In it, they used pre-recorded dialogue, and had many complaints, like the Munchkins are two feet taller than Dorothy; also Glinda sprouted gigantic butterfly wings and the Wicked Witch of the West sported a red plumed pilgrim hat and matching costume. [3]

The 157,000-cubic meter (5.5 MMcf) LNG vessel Seri Balqis is the fifth and the last of the Seri B class tanker built under MISC’s long-term LNG fleet expansion program in line with its focus on energy transportation, particularly LNG shipping. [1]

They did utilize a fly track but only for the Wicked Witch and the Wizard’s balloon, and drew out the Poppy Field and Emerald City scenes far too long to showcase the skating. [3]

Both vessels are the first in MISC’s fleet to utilize dual fuel diesel engine LNG propulsion technology, which has the capability to burn diesel as well as natural gas, thus improving the cost efficiency and economics of the vessel. [1]

The first Wizard of Oz tour was back during the 50^th anniversary of the movie; the flashy show opened at Radio City Music Hall (coincidentally, Disney’s wonderful yet horribly failed movie “Return to Oz” premiered). [3]

Never delay or disregard seeking professional medical advice from your doctor or other qualified healthcare provider because of something you have read on WebMD. [4]

Aunt Em has also now become Glinda, and beware those who are double cast properly, you have about 3 minutes to get out of the Glinda costume and make-up back into Aunt Em and then even less to get back into Glinda for curtain call. [3]

Seri Balqis’ delivery, which will take place this month, will bring to 29 the number of LNG vessels in MISC fleet, further strengthening the company’s position as the world’s single largest owner-operator of LNG vessels. [1]

kid rock

Monday, August 31st, 2009

A self-proclaimed redneck from the midwestern United States, Kid Rock turned a catchy mix of rap and country-influenced hard rock into pop stardom with his 1998 release Devil Without A Cause. [1]

Kid Rock performs for military men and women as part of a USO show onboard Camp Phoenix. [2]

One of the unlikeliest success stories in rock at the turn of the millennium, Detroit rap-rocker Kid Rock shot to superstardom with his fourth full-length album, 1998’s Devil Without a Cause. [3]

The special, held at the LP Field, will feature Kid Rock performing “Picture” with country music star Martina Mcbride as part of Country’s Night To Rock. [4]

One of the unlikeliest success stories in rock at the turn of the millennium, Detroit rap-rocker Kid Rock shot to superstardom with his fourth full-length album, 1998’s Devil Without a Cause. [1]

Kid Rock is known for his eccentric personality and his music that fuses rap with heavy metal, blues rock, southern rock, funk and country music. [...] After a slow start, his country-flavored hit “Picture” with Sheryl Crow resurrected the album and it went gold as a single and pushed the album’s sales to more than 5 million. [2]

The Detroit rocker inked a deal to be the face of the new cherry-infused bourbon during his 25-city ‘Rock’N’ Rebels’ tour. [4]

Although he had landed his first record contract in 1990, record labels weren’t quite sure how to promote a white rapper who blended heavy metal and country rock. [1]

Devil Without a Cause didn’t do much upon its initial release in August 1998, but a big promotional push from the label and MTV helped make the album’s second single and video, “Bawitdaba,” a nationwide smash. [3]

Kid Rock grew up on an apple orchard in Romeo, Michigan and his father was a wealthy car dealer. [2]

Moving to Brooklyn, Rock hooked up with the small Continuum label, and moved his brand of rap further into hard rock with The Polyfuze Method, released in 1993. [...] By 1999 he and his band, Twisted Brown Trucker, were performing in arenas and causing sparks on MTV. [1]

Kid Rock returned to the studio and cut a six song demo tape; the first two songs on the tape were “Somebody’s Gotta Feel This” and “I Got One For Ya”. [2]

Although sometimes forced to sell bootleg dubs of his own records to pay the rent, Rock set about forming a full-fledged backing band, which he dubbed Twisted Brown Trucker. [1]
