Ferrari's: Why are they so popular?
Just like any other brand it all started
because someone saw a celebrity wearing it and all of the sudden every single
one of their products is “amazing”.
Are every single ONE of their products amazing or is it just brand fever?
Are you willing to spend 100 dollars more just because it has the little stamp
of Ferrari? If you have answered yes to any of these questions then you
need to reevaluate your life. We honestly think that half of the people who
wear them just do it because they fall into peer pressure or they're just that
desperate to fit in. There is no difference in wearing normal Pumas, than
wearing some with the little yellow stamp that is probably bigger than your
brain if you actually think that you're "cooler"
is you have the stamp. Are you actually that naive to not realize that regular
Pumas and Ferrari's are exactly the same? You would actually pay more
for that dumb stamp? Come on people! You are falling into the trap of the
companies you are being the "dumb consumers"
why don't you sit there and think how much extra do you think the companies pay
to put the little stamp? Now, how much more are you paying for the "special”
stamp? Well, now that i have got your mind working then i would like to show
you just how much more the little stamp is affecting your wallet.

Nylons In New York
Nylons in New York
For women in the 1940’s stockings was an essential part of their wardrobe. They provided a sheer enhancement to the legs and created a smooth and clean appearance when going to church or just simply going to the office. The first stockings were made out of silk, but silk was very expensive back then and only the wealthy could afford them. That’s where science came to the rescue. They created a material that looked and felt like silk and they called it nylon from the abbreviation of New York, NY. Soon women began to call them “nylons”. The first day they hit the market, May 15, 1940, over 780,000 pairs were sold. Nylons became the number one fashion trend in America and other countries as well. But due to the fact that the war started the year right after that all supply of silk and nylon was put into the war effort. They used silk to make powder sacks and they would use nylon for parachutes, tents, ropes and tires.
During the war women had to use alternatives. They would apply makeup to their legs like this.
