Love Puppy Bouvier des Flanders from Beladora.com

"Women are also worried about their jobs, but not to the extent that they feel their mere existence is being threatened and so they are in the mood to buy despite the crisis," Jaffe said.
Some men have stopped themselves from splurging on flashy goods that could be deemed as tasteless during times of austerity, while others don't have the capacity to think about spending on luxury items, Jaffe said.
"Many male managers are suffering from a huge loss of status, many feel under an enormous amount of pressure or are suffering from burnout. They just don't have the resources to think about buying luxury goods and prefer to go to a life coach," she said.

Style Note - Blogging By A Stylish Swede

A lovely young blogger, Iman Abbas, recently wrote to BHB to introduce her new fashion blog
Stylebyme.net
This blog is a group effort with an international perspective on fashion. The young writers, two from Sweden (now living on Malta) one from Brazil and a Manhattanite post about the images and clothes that capture their attention.

Also, I loved reading about Iman's international travels and seeing her photos on her Travel with Iman Blog.

So off you go now to Sylebyme.net...let's see how the younger half lives!

Too Busy Bitching To Blog

Maybe it's because I've been reading about the system of taxation in early 18th France and how the Taille differed between the Pays d'Election and the Pays d'Etat, and the details of the Taille en Tarif and the Taille Reelle that has put me in a mood.

Added to my reading that taxes are going to rise for the Middle Class, and how government funds have been utterly wasted on non growth related nonsense
while banks that have received stimulus money are paying out huge bonuses
and Wall Street analysts are putting out bogus earnings reports (didn't we just go through that about 10 years ago with the tech bubble)
and another bill is going to pass in congress that no one has actually read.

People I need a VACATION!

Luckily...I'm going on vacation next week and hopefully that will mean a much needed attitude adjustment.

In the mean time, here's a pretty picture.
