If you are a fan of Louis Vuitton designer luxury goods, then, I strongly recommend that you visit their flagship store on Champs Elysees in Paris, France. That is the ultimate boutique, though, this French brand has some excellent shops around the world, including Tokyo, London, Hong Kong, Singapore, and of course, in Natick Collection, my store.As you can see in the photo, the window displays are not just products being showcased, but the whole thing is a work of art. They want you to understand that when you are buying a LV handbag, it is not just an accessory to put your money and other personal items; it is indeed a work of art that you should be proud to possess and carry.

Did you know that Agent Procateur is the favorite lingerie store of Christina Aguilera? No surprise because she is known to dress up in sexy lingerie for her husband Jordan Bratman. Obviously, this is not your neighborhood mall store with cheap bras and panties or ugly sleepwear that will make even a young man feign exhaustion and headache or run to grab his Viagra pill. If you want to turn on the heat in the bedroom, check out this world-famous lingerie shop where their experts will not only fit you with the right bra but also suggest panties to lift that butt or corsets to slim that tummy and nightwear that will make your man ask, "Honey, when are we going to the bedroom?"

New York City may have parks, museums, historical buildings , but it is also a place for dining and shopping: Uniqlo is one of my favorite shops. My wife also found Top-Shop to be an interesting shop, though, her advice is to be careful while shopping there. Clearly, many clothing items, accessories, and shoes are unique, but almost everything is highly overpriced. If you look carefully, you can find similar garments at boutiques like Zara or Jacobs.

For those of us that have lived in Japan, arrival of Uniqlo to New York City is such a relief. It is particularly useful for those of us who are skinny men.Yes, I am talking about guys like me with a waist size of just 28, who cannot find anything to decent to wear at any other store except Zara, Club Monaco, and H&M. Uniqlo is not as cheap as H&M, but for the quality, the price is justified. One of the best parts of their store is that it is always very well organized and they can even make alterations before you even go home after shopping. Now, only if they would come to the Natick Collection so that I wouldn't have to make a trip to New York City.

Remember I had recommended Orso as a dining spot in Los Angeles area where you could spot all the celebs. I cannot believe that Hollywood celebrities too have been affected so much by the recession that they are no longer spending big bucks on eating out. The restaurant is now closed. Orso, you will be missed. While the food was pretty good, it was the celebrity watching that made it more delicious. |

The Super Bowl is as much about football as it is about commercials. Particularly, if they are from GoDaddy or Victorias Secret. No surprise then that the company sent out its hottest models Karolina Kurkova, Selita Ebanks, and Adriana Lima. In this video, they all talk about what is sexy and I find it interesting that they all mention "confidence." In other words, are women wasting their money on cosmetic surgery, makeup, and all those fashionable clothes? Should't they just spend more time working on their self esteem?

I am not one of those bloggers obsessed with bellywatching but I was surprised that when Fergie (Stacy Ferguson) of Black Eyed Peas appeared on the red carpet wearing a beautiful, yellos Calvin Klein dress, buzz immediately started that everyone saw a baby bump and that she was pregnant. While no one really knows (and time will soon tell), it is important to understand that that part of a woman's body can have that slight bump in no time either because of gaining a pound of weight, or retaining fluids, or becoming bloated, particularly when she is close to or is having her menstural cycle. So based on the evidence, I say NOT PREGNANT.

When I saw Ashley Judd in a saree my #1 fear was that other Hollywood stars will follow suit. It seems that they are all infatuated with Aishwarya Rai, the Bollywood actress. Now Katherine Heigl, one of the most beautiful blondes in Hollywood, is going sari. She donned this ridiculous attire in the movie "27 Dresses." Indians have already taken our jobs, now they are taking away our mini-skirts. Ouch!

As if Britney Spears (and her mother Lynne along with divorced father Jamie) did not have enough problems of her own, now her little sister (can you believe that she is just 16) is about to have a child with a loser boyfriend Casey Adridge (reminds me so much of another loser in the family Kevin Federline). What is wrong with this family? Even more interesting that the mom is writing a book about raising a family the Christian way.

I may be a little bit inclined to like Spiderman more than Batman but I am still looking forward to the movie "The Dark Knight." The movie stars Christian Bale as Batman and Heath Ledger plays the role of the Joker. Below is the trailer, and as always, buckle up since you are in for a rough ride.
