Levi's history

In 1853, the California gold rush was in full swing, and everyday items were in short supply. Levi Strauss, a 24-year-old German immigrant, left New York for San Francisco with a small supply of dry goods with the intention of opening a branch of his brother's New York dry goods business. Shortly after his arrival, a prospector wanted to know what Mr. Strauss was selling. When Strauss told him he had rough canvas to use for tents and wagon covers, the prospector said, "You should have brought pants!," saying he couldn’t find a pair of pants strong enough to last.

"There's never a new fashion but it's old".

This quote was said by Geoffrey Chaucer, but I have to dissagree! when you see fashion these days, it might remind you of the fashion of the 80's. But when you take a close look at the details, you'll notice some small yet significant differences. it could be the stracture of the material for example, as the technology has developped. You can barely see the difference between real and fake leather, yet it becomes also easier to treat it. now you can wear it under the rain, and wash it.

My secound reason to dissagree is that after a while , you cannot find the same clothes. If you see design that is copied, the compuny or the designer could protest. For one example the famous Italian brand "Dolce & Gabbana" does not do business in Japan anymore because many companies in Japan make the simmiler things, so D&G dissided to quit the business there.

Fashion is a way to express youself. I don't think that somewhere in this world will be a person that wears colthes exactly in the same way that I do, so in reality nothing could be old.

My answer is NO! The first of all I would never try them on on the first hand.

Isn't it a torture when you try something on and it looks so nice and you know that you cannot afford it?

But if I'll be in the stuation, I'm not going to buy it as I know I can find a simmiler one cheeper.

Someone might think that it's not about the style it's about showing the name of the desiner or of the brand.

I can understand it, but I'm the kind of person who cars about the quality and not about showing off.

So way should I spend so much money if I can have the same quality for less money.

After reading "I Dream Before I Take the Stand"

Accidentally, when I got home and turned on the TV looking if there is something interesting to watch, I found a documentary on HBO. The title was "For Neda". Maybe a lot of people don't remember anymore the demonstration in Iran lust year in2009... But this ended with a tragedy. A woman, Neda Agha-Soltan was shot and died. She was just trying to acquire the human rights. Neda became the iconic symbol of Iran's 2009 post-election protests and struggle. Now after this movement, the situation didn't get better. We should be so grateful that we have the right to vote and that we can express our selves not feeling fears to get punished.

To get helthy Teeth

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE FOODS you consume can affect your smile as much as brushing or flossing. Every time you eat sugary or starchy foods, the bacteria in plaque get another chance to form decay-causing acid. And bad breath can make you want to hide even the most pristine teeth. But choosing foods that naturally fight bacteria, remove plaque, strengthen enamel, and freshen breath is a good way to preserve your pearly whites. Pick these 10.

After reading the story of William Ecenbarger, the first thing what occurred to me was "I want to have good strong teeth" that I can avoid to go to the dentist. And I started to search what I can do, besides brushing them after each meal.
And this way is so easy!! Every one can do it right now. Curious what the 10 items are?
