The night was coined the “K*Glam Burlesque Masquerade Party” with the female guests required to don stockings, high heels, masks and vintage clothes as the overriding theme for the party. Many obliged. Many girls spotted corsets and feather boas that added sophistication to the party. “The night was about tease and seduction and we wanted that to show through the clothes,” said the CEO of the magazine, Liz Kakooza. “We wanted to bring out the sexy and naughty side of a woman without looking trashy,” she added. The magazine will be having the official launch in March. “We want to add our voices to the fashion environment in Uganda. We will do that through the magazine that will not only talk about fashion but cover other topics too,” said Kakooza. Free drinks and cocktails flowed till midnight with many having too much to drink. “Its hard spending the whole night standing in these high heels let alone doing it while drunk and be expected to dance the night away,” lamented one reveller.

How do we raise good children
What do you do when your child does something that not only shocks the life out of you but turns out to be something totally unexpected like the Reverend’s child who turns out to be the village drunk? I read the story of the minister’s son who committed suicide with the pain and shock that comes with such tragedy. I was even more alarmed when the minister came forth and blamed his son’s death on himself. As a parent no one can claim to be totally immune to such an incidence and although we all mean well for our children, I was thumbs up for the minister albeit too late. So you wonder when the slip began and whether it could have been avoided. You think of your children that you love so much and subconsciously wrap your arms around them wanting to protect them from any such tragedy. I listened to a veteran parent sharing recently and her talk revolved about the dilemma of expecting children to behave right without having a total change of heart. This shocked me because it has always appeared like her children had all that it took to be the best groomed children around. She pointed out that although we all set out to raise responsible, all rounded and academically sound children, many times we find they couldn’t be further from our expectations. So what is a mother like me supposed to do, I asked myself. She further challenged us to reflect on the children we are raising without any semblance of endurance or resilience as we constantly solve all our children’s problems. Many don’t know how to serve but believe that they can only wash dishes at home if they are going to be paid an allowance for it. Can you imagine that? If the TV were switched off for two days, would the children fall apart as that is a constant addiction? It became clear that in a bid to get the children off our tired backs, many of us had created pas times for our children which can well be the cause of their downfall.
then walked away
It sounds like the kind of escape only screwball cartoon characters enjoy, but a climber who plummeted more than 1,000 feet down a mountain yesterday was found standing up, reading a map and with only a couple of bruises as souvenirs for his near-death adventure. Friends feared the worst when they saw the 35-year-old lose his footing and fall at the summit of Sgurr Choinnich Mor, a peak forming part of the Grey Corries range five miles east of Ben Nevis in Scotland. And his rescuers admitted later that they flew to the scene expecting, in that emergency services euphemism, a "worst case scenario". Yet when the Royal Navy helicopter team scanned the craggy slopes at around 2.30pm, they found the man shaking in fear but with physical wounds described only as "superficial". He was reportedly trying to work out his location on a map as they picked him out from the sky. The rescue on the eastern slope of the mountain came almost moments after a group of 24 climbers had celebrated reaching the 3,589ft summit.

The faller was said to have experienced a sensation "like flying" before landing on a nook in the cliff almost a third of the way down. Lieutenant Tim Barker, part of the rescue crew, said: "We began to hover-taxi down the slope and spotted a man at the bottom, standing up. We honestly thought it couldn't be him, as he was on his feet, reading a map. Above him was a series of three high craggy outcrops. It seemed impossible." He added: "So we retraced our path back up the mountain and, sure enough, there were bits of his kit in a vertical line all the way up where he had obviously lost them during the fall. It was quite incredible. He must have literally glanced off the outcrops as he fell, almost flying." By chance, the Sea King rescue helicopter from HMS Gannet in Prestwick was already in the sky on a training exercise when the alarm was raised. As the climber was winched to safety and flown to the Southern General Hospital in Glasgow, he was conscious and recounting the details of his fall. A paramedic at the scene said he was "shaking from extreme emotional shock and the sheer relief at still being alive". He was treated overnight for a chest injury and cuts.

royal wedding street parties on house
Legislation introduced by Labour seven years ago prevents locals from blocking through roads using home-made signs and says party organisers must use professionals, say local authority officials. Some councils are waiving road closure charges for street parties on Friday April 29 but say they have no power to by-pass Government legislation about traffic management on through roads. Cambridgeshire County Council is one local authority which says it will not charge to close roads for royal wedding street parties. But a nine-page online council form organisers are asked to fill in says that if parties are being held on through roads, "unqualified members of the public will not be allowed to carry out road closures on the highway (or) put out signs". Organisers are asked: "Which traffic management company are you using to provide traffic management?" One village party organiser said she had been given quotes "upwards of £500" to hire traffic management firms. Cambridgeshire's Information Strategy Manager, Debbie Maith, said the council's hands were tied by the provisions of the 2004 Traffic Management Act and added: "We have done as much as we can. We have to abide by the legislation." The council said if parties were staged in cul-de-sacs or on unadopted roads traffic management firms would not be required. Shortly after the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition came to power in 2010, Communities Secretary Eric Pickles said he had "succeeded in his quest to ban the reams of forms, high costs and red tape getting in the way of communities organising street parties". "Fetes, street parties and fairs should be fun, and everyone's energy needs to go into the fun part - not trawling through endless reams of guidance and dusty rules," he said in August. "I want to banish the myths around laws preventing people from putting on events." Local Government Minister Bob Neill said today: "We have worked across government and with Streets Alive, the Big Lunch and local government partners to agree a consistent approach for councils to follow, and produce a good practice guidance for councils setting out more up front transparency on what organisers need. "Whitehall rules aren't holding councils back. Councils now need to do their bit to cut unnecessary red tape and help foster a sense of community spirit on this national day of celebration." Jennifer Ravenhill, who is organising a street party in Shepreth, Cambridgeshire, said villagers traditionally held street parties in the High Street but had decided to switch to an unadopted lane to avoid the cost of hiring traffic managers. "They say organisers have to hire a traffic management company to provide the correct signs and staff the closure. Upwards of £500 for one event is the estimate I've received, making it too expensive to do in the High Street," she said.

Design
If you had a chiropractic (or other type of) firm as a client, what message/design would you design for that firm that could follow directly behind this Plastic Surgery billboard on the I-15 highway in downtown Salt Lake City?
Throw out some ideas, or better yet, design one and post it here! A clever business could get results from both billboards... (In case you can't see it well, it's a photograph of three fruit: A grapefruit, cantaloupe and watermelon, in ascending order.)
