No Big Hurry
For some, there’s no better investment right now than a long, leisurely trip.

Everyone is looking for a good investment these days. And with stocks, currencies and companies all foundering, some are finding that taking the trip of a lifetime is actually a smart move right now. Prices are good, crowds are sparse and the dividends—expanded worldview, lifelong memories, the satisfaction of boosting the global economy—can’t be easily snatched away. Sylvia and Paul Custerson, a retired couple from Cambridge, England, recently took a 16-day vacation to Namibia, where they went on safari and bird-watching excursions. Later this year, they are planning a trip to Patagonia. “We’re using our capital now,” says Sylvia, 64. “And why not? We’re not getting any interest in the bank. If it’s a place we really want to go, we’re thinking, To hell with it! We may as well travel while we’re fit and healthy—and before the airlines go bust.” Read the rest of this entry »

The Young Actress Shows Promise in Various Different Roles

Kristen Stewart didn’t become popular until the first Twilight movie. However, she has successfully played other roles for which she has received many accolades.
Most of Kristen Stewart’s fans know her from “The Twilight Saga” movies, where she plays Bella Swan. Although this role is what has brought her to fame, Stewart has also been cast in quite a few other movies.
A couple of recent roles have won the actress much praise from fellow actors and fans alike. It seems as if Stewart is branching out successfully beyond her role in “Twilight”.

If your ever attempted to make your own band or if you maybe were a member in a band, than you’ll know that it takes long hours of rehearsals before it sounds the way it should. But even so, how long the members of the band will stick together is hard to tell. Many times outside influences will strengthen the bond between them but it is when negative things happen inside, that’s when the harmony is broken and things finally come to an end.

Nicole Kidman in Dior

The haute couture gown Nicole Kidman wore to the 1997 ceremony raised the bar for good. It’s been an annual rite of “Can you top this?” ever since. “I was the new boy at the big House of Dior, and there were people who didn’t think I would cut it,” says John Galliano. “Nicole looked like a goddess and showed the world she believed in me. I had seen all of her work and wanted everyone to see her as a star in her own right, as well as being Mrs. Tom Cruise at the time. I’ve always been seduced by Hollywood, and it was a complete honor to dress her. Nicole trusted us and let us suggest a new direction and the striking chartreuse color, which was controversial at that point because everyone was using primaries or pastels. Dior turned the dress around quickly, as it had only been a month since the gem of the idea had appeared on the catwalk.
