Maxim magazine hosts the Hometown Hotties contest yearly. The most beautiful women from all over the US gather their most flattering glamour photos and submit them to Maxim Online along with a short biography. The editors at Maxim choose the top 1,000 entries to post on their website and Maxim Model Jody Palmer was one of them.

Fans spend hours browsing the huge collection of photos and bios of the US’s most beautiful women, yet are only allowed to vote for one hottie. After round one of the contest ends, the votes are tallied and the top 100 hometown hotties with the highest number of votes are announced. Maxim Model Jody Palmer was one of the 1,000 beautiful women that made the top 100. Each of the 100 hotties then submit a homemade video best expressing why they deserve to win the contest. Maxim edits each new video and adds it to each girl’s profile. Then round two of the voting begins to narrow down the list of girls to the top 10 most beautiful women in the contest.

Jody Palmer shot her homemade video from Athens, Greece. A couple of weeks later, she made the cut to become a top 10 finalist.

Models Jody Palmer, Gillian LeBrun, Roberta Lang, Jaime Paetz, Leticia Cline, Sharae Spears, Kenda Perez, Juda Jennings, Nicki Kretchmer and Erin McKinnon were flown to New Orleans to the photo shoot. The entire spread was Mardi Gras themed. Jody Palmer’s online photo and video shoot took place at Jean Lafitte Swamp and Airboat Tours in New Orleans with our sincere thanks.

They spent the following day shooting for the print copy of Maxim Magazine.

The third day was spent hosting a video at a wearhouse where all the Mardi Gras floats are kept.

Not the look of the persoN but his personality is most important but we common judge the person by his appearance. Of course it is not all right. But why not making ‘judging book by its cover’ something good for us? Our clothes are also part of savoir vivre. Let show the world that we know this savoir vivre!

Our clothes are especially important when we are representing a big company or being a well-known businessman. We can’t afford to look bad when our work is strongly connected with our appearance and the impression that we will make on other people. The clothes we are wearing can give people a wrong impression about us. And not only about us but also about the company that we are representing. That’s why clothes can be a part of savoir vivre and it is important to be elegant in some situations.

And what does it mean to be elegant?

First, moderation and simplicity. Usually it is not well seen to look much different than other people on the gathering or from the people of the business community that we are working with. Being and elegant is having a good taste, also wearing clothes that are comfortable – not shocking or extravagance. There is a good taste needed. That’s why we should rather wear clothes that match themselves in colors and give a soften and integrated whole. Of course we can take liberties when we are a pop star or an actor but still lack of simplicity can be dangerous.

Second, neatness. Whether we are wearing a frock coat or just a pair of jeans we can’t forget about neatness, so that’s why we should check in what condition are our clothes. For example, suit should be ironed, our shirt should be always clean and we should change it before evening meeting, shoes creamed. And there are almost no exceptions from those rules. What’s more – when thinking about neatness in the way we look we can’t only focus on the condition of our clothes – we should also remember about matching the clothes with our accessories. All the elements should be a part of one, smart image.

Third, chic which it’s something that not all have but it is something that we all can learn. We are learning how to be chic when we are standing straight with our head high, in the way we walk and way how our body behaves. Concentrating on our moves and body in general gives us an opportunity to feel better in our clothes that automatically lies better on us.

Very important thing is matching clothes with occasions. But that’s the ending of the part one.

In the next article we will tell something something about types of dress codes, what do they mean and what we should wear on different occasions – for example we will tell something about wedding wear and evening wear.

Choosing the right jeans can enhance one’s look with charm. Everyone loves jeans, for this fashion started from the classic time up to these days. So, if you want to make the most out of your jeans, then try learning the tricks and secrets about them for you to be discovered in the world of fashion. So, here are the secret tips…

1.Determine your exact body measurement. Take the measurement of your waistline and also to the inside of your leg. This could really give you the hint of the exact size of your jeans. Thus it could fit your body perfectly, especially to your legs and thighs. Just be sure that you got the correct measurement, and also don’t forget to make some allowances to ensure that they’re not too tight for you.

2.Choose your best cut… As we know, jeans have different cuts. But there are cuts which are really good for your body, so try finding it. There are straight legs cut, boot cut, flared cut, carrot cut, and the skinny. These days skinny is very popular. But again, you need to consider your body type before deciding the right cut for you. For men, boot cut and straight cut are always ideal for them.

3.Don’t forget the classic styles. Jeans nowadays are having different colors. They could be white, red, pink, brown, blue, and black. But take note that blue, black and stone wash colors are timeless. Also Levi’s jeans’ colors too are wonderful.

4.Make sure that you are comfortable enough with your jeans. Some jeans are just too tight if you don’t know how to choose the best one for you. Thus you may find hard walking while wearing it. You consider the style too and its color and take note to match properly the kind of color to your body size. Dark colors are always good for those who are having a heavy weight. But if you are confident in wearing without thinking about it, then you can try then.

5.Reproduce your wearing conditions… Jeans will not only look good through its appearance alone. They could also look better if you try to match them with nice belts and shoes. Also you can put up some little accessories inside the pocket of your jeans to test the capability of your jeans.

6.Buy pre-shrunk jeans… This is very important too because some jeans would shrink if you will wash them. So check the quality of jeans that you are going to buy so you will not regret that someday they will not fit to you anymore.

7.Wash your jeans inside out except if they are new. This avoids any discoloration to your jeans.

8.Dry your jeans naturally. As much as possible, don’t use the drier in drying your jeans. This could ruin them and could destroy them easily. Just hang them up straightly, so they will not be folded. Because folding and squeezing them too much could affect the cloth and their sizes. So make sure that you are not that rough at them to maintain the beautiful look.

If you’re rather be dating hot Asian girls, above any other kind of girl, I want to give you some brief bits of advice that will increase your chances of success.

The first thing is that you’ve got to have outstanding personal hygiene and be properly groomed. Asian women believe in the saying “cleanliness is next to Godliness.” You can tell how much value hot Asian girls put on hygiene just by looking at them; even if they’re simply running out to the store, they will look perfect. It’s often a different story with Western women, who will go out shopping wearing a pair of sweatpants and a baseball hat.

Basically, this means that when you are around hot Asian girls you’ve always got to look presentable. Go out and buy a few new shirts and pairs of pants, and get rid of the faded old shirts and jeans that you’ve been wearing for many years. It’s also better to be a bit overdressed, rather than underdressed, when you’re around hot Asian girls — do not arrive at a date wearing a tee-shirt, sneakers or shorts.

Next, you’ve got to express to hot Asian girls that you are an organized guy who has his life together. Trust me, you will not make a good impression on Asian ladies by giving off a “slacker” vibe and seeming like you don’t know what you want out of life. While Westerners may fret about “finding their purpose in life,” Asian people generally don’t understand this concept. So when you’re with hot Asian girls, talk about your plans, passions and goals. This will allow her to imagine what a future with you might be like.

My final tip is, your home should reflect the fact that you are an organized and hygienic guy. Don’t invite hot Asian girls into your home (or any girl, for that matter) unless it’s very clean. Especially your bathrooms. It’s customary for your female houseguest to ask to use your bathroom, so she can check her hair and makeup. Few things will gross them out more than a grimy bathroom. I also suggest you keep a scented candle lit in your bathroom (while your female guest is there), and hang out some soft hand towels for them to use.

Here I recommend using FEW (float), YINGFA (British made), durable, exquisite workmanship, a relatively large wholesale swimwear for swimming enthusiasts. Bikini is also a main force, which is the fitness of women’s favorite. Can put to sea for swimming, it can also be used as accessories to match exterior. Bikini less fabric, the more exposed parts.

The myth of the unicorn has been with us since ancient China and is usually depicted as a large horse with a single horn projecting from the forehead and it has been represented in the art and writings of many ancient cultures throughout Asia and Europe.

By the Middle Ages Christian Europe had endowed the unicorn with many symbolic qualities, both religious and secular. As well as representing purity and chastity it was often seen as a symbol for Christ.

Once accepted into Medieval Europe the unicorn quickly became an important element in art, including tapestries and textiles. The Lady and the Unicorn tapestries, for example, represent the mythical beasts’ relation with purity, as well as the myth that the unicorn could only be tamed by a virgin.

During the Middle Ages tapestries were commonplace amongst the aristocracy, often being used to add color to drab interiors and provide warmth. The most common designs were biblical allegories, although with the rising prominence of unicorns in art they soon came to be used as subject matter.

The Lady and the Unicorn tapestries are among the most beautiful and captivating masterpieces of unicorn art. They were undiscovered until 1844 when they were found by French historian Proper Merimee in Boussac Castle. The novelist Georges Sands brought them to public attention in her novels . Badly damaged by damp, they were bought by The Cluny Museum in Paris in 1853 and restored. They are now displayed in their own circular room at the museum.

The designer and weavers of the Lady and the Unicorn series are unknown but experts estimate they were woven in the late 15th century. It is thought that the series were commissioned by the Le Viste family, of which the head was Jean Le Viste, a nobleman in the court of King Charles VII, as the coat of arms on the standards, including the lion and the unicorn, represented the family.

The decorative floral background of each tapestry is the same. The Mille Fleurs pattern, meaning the thousand flowers is a style most associated with the Bruges and Brussels areas of Flanders in Belgium so it is widely thought that the tapestries were made there.

The beautifully woven tapestries use the Lhalluin weaving techniques with bold colors and intricate detailing. Each tapestry features the same subjects, a lady and the mythical unicorn. A lion also appears in each scene. However the theme for each is slightly different. The inclusion of other animals a rabbit, birds, a monkey adds to the world of fantasy and complement the enigmatic images.

The six tapestries are said to represent the five senses Taste, hearing, sight, smell and touch with the sixth often interpreted as love.

In the sight tapestry a woman is seen holding a mirror, the ubiquitous unicorn reflected in its glass. The tapestry representing hearing sees the woman playing a musical instrument, the lion and the unicorn standing at either side framing the scene. In the third tapestry the lady is seen taking a piece of candy as a celebration of taste. The lion and the unicorn once again feature, lying on their back. Representing touch, in the fourth tapestry the lady holds the unicorns horn as the lion looks on. In the fifth tapestry we see the lady making a wreath of fresh flowers. The lion and unicorn once again frame the scene whilst a monkey smells one of the flowers demonstrating the theme.

Adorned by the words A Mon Seul Desir meaning to my soul desire, the sixth tapestry in the series is larger than the rest and differs in theme. The tapestry depicts a lady holding a necklace whilst her maidservant holds an open chest. A tent in the image is said to represent the ladys soul desire, which she is about to enter.

Some interpretations see the tapestries as representing virginity, based on an ancient myth that only a pure virgin could tame the unicorn. Others interpretation sees the lady putting the necklace into the chest as a denial of the passions aroused in the other tapestries. Yet another version sees this tapestry as representing a sixth sense of understanding or empathy. The latter explanation is taken from the sermons of Jean Gerson, a lecturer at the University of Paris around 1420.

The original Lady and the Unicorn tapestries are currently displayed in Pariss Musee National du Moyen-Age Thermes de Cluny in their own purpose built room. Even today they still exude an other-worldly charm and serenity that few works of art can claim.
