The Sneaker Trend

Personally I'v always loved sneakers, in fact I wear them maybe 6 outta 10 times! Or more ... :) Anyway there has been this on going trend of wearing sneakers with almost anything. I was drawn more on how the sneakers can be paired with a couture/elegant dress or ensemble.For example one can wear them with a cocktail dress, a pencil skirt, basically anything that is considered formal. I know most people are probably skeptic about it, but I absolutely love it. Chanel introduced this trend in the USA with them actually making the designer sneakers a companion to their garments.In recent fashion weeks  ( street style ) from Milan to New York there were quiet a lot of sneakers than there were stilettos!

Here are some of the "sneaker trend" pics

Elections Elections...Some food for thought

I ran across this post on a new blog based in Johannesburg joziblogger.blogspot.The article was copied from a status update on facebook.The writer of the article is unknown. I thought it was very interesting and deserves to be re-posted :) .What is appealing though is how  the writer states a few statistics about the president and his cabinet while indirectly saying quiet a lot about the current state of the South African government. I'm not entirely sure whether all of it is true or not, but either way I think it gives us a better yet simple way of understanding our current government

"Mandela's cabinet consisted of 28 ministers and
their deputies.
Thabo Mbeki cabinet consisted of 28 ministers and
their deputies.
Jacob Zuma cabinet consists of 64 ministers and 64
deputy ministers.
Each minister has 8 bodyguards
Each minister has 2 mansions in Cape Town and in
Pretoria.
Each deputy minister has 8 bodyguards.
Each deputy minister has 2 mansions in Cape
Town and in Pretoria.
In 2009 when the Zuma government took over,
auditor general reported a loss of R8 billion.
In 2010 we lost R15 billion.
In 2011 n 2012 we lost R20 billion.
In 2013 we lost R31 billion.
America has about 400 million citizens and Obama
cabinet consists of only 20 people.
South Africa has 51 million citizens and is the only
country in the world that has the biggest cabinet
that consist of 128 people.
Our debt is R1 trillion.
As you vote on May 7th, think about the billions we
lose every year, monies that could have created
jobs."
