How to Tie a Scarf - Easy Techniques

Most everyone knows the traditional ways to tie and wear a scarf. If you want to be unique though, you will need to know how to tie a scarf in different ways.

Following are three knot techniques to help you achieve a one of a kind look.

• 
  The Josephine Knot: The Josephine knot looks much like a pretzel. It is a rather large knot so it is only useful to know how to tie a scarf using this technique if your material is light weight and the scarf is rather narrow. Silks, satins, and rayon blends work beautifully. Place the scarf around your neck leaving the ends hanging loose and with the ends even. With right palm facing out grab the left tail of the scarf and roll your hand upwards and towards your body to create a loop where the loose end section is in back. Grasp where the scarf crosses itself with your left hand and take the right side of the scarf in front the loop but behind the loose tail. Bring the tail above the loop and feed it up, over itself, and back under the loop and pull. You can leave the knot as loose or as tight as you like. You can also adjust the knot to hang as different lengths. You can even choose to keep the knot tied and simply pull the scarf over your head to be quickly put on again later.
  


• 
  Lark's Head Knot:The lark's head knot is extremely simple and elegant. It is great to know how to tie a scarf in this fashion as it lends itself well to most any material. Place the scarf around your neck leaving the left end about 1/3 longer. Create a large bend in the center of the left tail. Fold the loop created from the bend in half toward your outside which will create two smaller loops. Take the right loose tail and feed it through the loops. You will go behind the first piece, under the second and third and again behind the last. Again this knot can be tied tightly or left loose. To move the height of the knot, you simply slide it up and down holding the right side taut.
  


• 
  The Bowline Knot:The bowline knot is the perfect way in which to know how to tie a scarf if you want a decorative knot at your neck with one tail over your shoulder. Place the scarf around your neck with the ends even. With right palm facing out grab the left tail of the scarf and roll your hand upwards and towards your body to create a loop where the loose end section is in back. Feed the right tail of the scarf through the loop from the front and then continue behind the left tail.Feed back through the loop making sure to stay behind the left tail. Tighten to your comfort level and toss the right end over your shoulder.

You can also use this knot without tightening snug around your neck. Consider leaving the neck opening large and play with draping the scarf and the placement of the knot.

Many knots used in other applications such as sailing can be modified for scarves. If you see a pretty knot somewhere, do a little research and learn how to tie a scarf to recreate the same look.

How to Tie a Shawl - The Many Ways

Shawls come in all shapes, colors and sizes.

There many different ways to tie a shawl and each way works towards making me feel beautiful, elegant and gorgeous. The way I tie my shawl is an extension of my personality. That is why I consider a shawl to be more than a fashion accessory... it is a "fashion statement"!

As a fashion expert, it is my job (and passion) to show my clients different ways to get the most from their fashion accessories. I use many of the suggestions myself because I am rarely seen without one of these beautiful accessories. A shawl is a multipurpose accessory. Occasionally I tie it like a belt, while at other instances I use it as head cover. Sometimes I use my shawl to protect myself from inclement weather and on other times I use it to enhance a beautiful evening dress.

• 
  Different Ways to Tie a Shawl: I use the Ascot style more frequently in winter. It is simple, looks chic and still keeps me warm. The way to tie a shawl like this is to fold it into two, wrap it around your neck and then take the ends pull them through the loop which is formed when you fold the shawl in half.
  
  


• 
  The reverse shawl is my favorite for evening wear, especially when I am wearing a very formal dress. I just take a complementing rich-looking shawl and then drape the open shawl over my shoulders, with the ends down my back. It looks elegant and sophisticated. This way of tying a shawl is ideally suited for women who are tall and slim. Sometimes when it suits me, and shown in my how to tie shawls articles, I just knot the two ends behind my back to get an immediate appearance of being chic. When I wear jeans, I just love to enhance my hips with a shawl. I take my shawl and keep folding it lengthwise until it is a just a couple of inches. I then take it and either loop it through the belt hoops or wear it low on my hips. I tie the ends on one side and let them fall.


• 
  Sometimes I just don't feel like doing anything with my shawl so I opt for the poncho style wherein I take a triangular shawl, drape it over my back with the ends meeting in front. I either fasten the ends with a shawl clip or just knot them loosely. Many of my clients hate knotting the ends because they feel it has grandmother appearance to it. So, they just use a decorative shawl pin or brooch.

The stole style of wearing a shawl is simple and elegant. It can be worn with a casual or formal outfit without feeling out of place. The best part is that this style can be easily worn both in winter and summer. I love the Grace Kelly style of wearing a shawl. Just take the shawl, cover your head and throw each end casually over opposing shoulders. Viola! Elegance without too much trouble or effort.

Great Sock Hop Hairstyles

Dressing up in 50's costumes for your sock hop event is a given. Not only do 50's costumes bring in the theme of the dance, 50's costumes also allow guests to have a fun time dressing up. Having a fun hairstyle to match your 50's costume can be very beneficial. Here are a few examples of hairstyles you can wear.

1. Classic Beehive: To get this look start by setting dry hair in large hair rollers. Roll sections of hair backwards. Once the rollers are out, pull the hair back in sections and tease. Get as much volume as possible and comb backwards, and use a clip or headband to hold it in place.

This hairstyle is called a beehive because of its shape. For inspirational ideas look at Audrey Hepburn's hair in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. This is a very elaborate hairstyle, so ask for help or go to a professional hairdresser.

2. Ponytail: A ponytail is a classic 50's hairstyle. It was simple and mainstream, making it a perfect match for a 50's costume or poodle skirt. All all the hair back (bangs and all) and tie a scarf around an elastic band.

3. Tight Curls: Use a small barrel curling iron to create short, curly hair. This style will only work for those with medium to shorter length hairstyles. It was commonly known as the poodle cut back in the day.

4. French Plait: French braids are another fun option. Create a french plait by braiding hair in glamorous fashions. Side french braids are a popular choice, or piling hair on the back of the head.

5. Bouffant: Use large roller curlers to create this fun hairstyle. Similar to a beehive, though no where near the height, you will need to tease your hair until it is the length you would like. Smooth the layer of hair down so the hair is rounded out or bouffant. Remember to use a lot of hairspray.

Test out the hairstyles with your costume to see what style fits best. You do not want to wait until the last minute. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time on the big night to get your hairstyle perfect.

Hip Hop 50's Shop specializes in Adult Poodle Skirts, crinoline slips, saddle oxford shoes and complete 50's costumes. We are passionate about Sock Hops and the 1950's, so our experts share tons of advice and tips on our blog. Come visit anytime.

Kanga Proverbs For Plus Size Beauty

Ethnic outfits provide wonderful ways for the plus size woman to make a fashion statement. Kangas are perfect for the full figured woman; these traditional African wraps are the ultimate cover-up for the beach, pool, health club, or just lounging around the house.

While the kanga originated in Kenya; Kanga Proverb cloths, also called leso, khanga, or lamba, are used and worn throughout coastal East Africa and Madagascar. The term lamba in its most general sense signifies cloth or clothing. It also refers to a particular rectangular shoulder wrap or scarf regarded as the national clothing for the Madagascar people. In the central highlands of Madagascar, it is particularly a powerful symbol of highland identity. Worn throughout a person's adult life, lamba are traditionally made of natural cotton, or better yet, of silk, and are preferably hand-woven.

There are numerous other subcategories of lamba, each designated by a particular name, shape, material, and use. The lamba hoany, however, is arguably the most omnipresent textile in Madagascar and the only one that is historically and consistently factory-made. Lightweight and inexpensive, the cloth is used and worn daily by virtually every adult male and female in Madagascar's expansive rural landscape.

Although most often used as a work cloth that can be easily washed and quickly dried, the kanga or lamba is not only beautiful but versatile. As clothing worn primarily by women, the cloth may be worn in several ways. If the temperature drops, it may be wrapped around one's shoulders as a shawl. If it becomes exceedingly cold, the cloth's upper edge may be slipped over the head so that the shawl becomes a hooded cape that one holds tightly below file chin. Although not heavy, they help trap body heat and provide a protective layer against the cold. Or it can be tied around the waist as skirt, with another lamba used as a top.

Many people in Africa use lamba as aprons to protect their more expensive clothing while working. For particularly messy or wet jobs, a person might simply wrap a lamba around the body under the armpits, as one would wear a towel after a shower. When not in use, simply twist the cloth into a long rope and tie it around the waist like a belt.

They also transport small objects by bundling them in the cloth. They also twist the length of a lamba, coil it into a small doughnut shape, and place it on the head to create a base for carrying a heavy load. Brightly colored raffia baskets are often sealed by tucking a lamba around the edges. Lamba can also be used as a sling in which to carry a baby on one's back.

In the middle of the century, textile factories in Africa and Madagascar began to create proverb cloths for their own markets. Use of proverb cloths has spread to all the African coasts and into Europe, with the accompanying texts in the appropriate languages. Today factories in India are the dominant cloth-producers for all the regions. Misspellings frequently occur on proverb cloths, probably because many are made abroad for a foreign market in a foreign language. In Madagascar, it is said that kanga must have misspellings to be considered true kanga, suggesting that this is part of the mystique.

Lamba or kangas are today generally made of cotton, rayon, or a cotton-rayon blend, and include an overall pattern of repeating designs, often with a central medallion, surrounded by a decorative border. Kanga produced in India are characterized by their brilliant, saturated palettes and designs framed by ornate borders.

Often worn in pairs, these lightweight cloths make a lasting impression not only for their brightly colored designs, but also for the messages that are emblazoned upon them. Inscriptions incorporate proverbs, popular sayings, greetings, warnings, and various slogans in a multitude of languages, just above the lower border. These sayings can be about almost anything such as "Fikasana ny anao fa ny didy any tompo": "The intention is yours, but the command is the boss'". The proverb or saying printed on the cloth does not necessarily relate to the imagery.

These vivid, multi-functional prints make striking headwraps, pool wraps, dresses for plus size women. Lightweight, easy to wash, they are perfect for hot weather. They also can be used as table covers, and wall hangings, too!

Palestinian Head Scarves

An interview with People of what the Scarves really mean. its more than a TRENDY STATEMENT! its history ;)

Pirates - The Who, What and How?

The spine-chilling stories of Pirates - what kind of life they lived, and what did the pirates wear? - have always fascinated people, especially children. On reading about the Pirates and their costumes, one thing is clear - that the Pirates did not have any 'uniform style' of dress. Most of them wore a mismatch of loose-fitting clothes; usually whatever they could lay their hands on!

Pirates were free-spirited scallywags. Their personality and lifestyle was such that it let their rebel side come out! Their reputation was that of 'devil may care' - they grasped a bottle of rum and set sail for the night! Children love the different costumes of Pirates available in the market so much that once they get into these costumes, they simply feel like sailing on the seven seas and living the Pirate's adventurous life.

Along with their clothing, the Pirates had some kind of 'accessories' that most of them loved to wear to get a typical look - things like eye patches, fake teeth, and hooks - which can be purchased to enhance the 'Pirate' look! No pirate costume is complete with only the basic outfit.

Piracy was always considered a dirty, rough business, and the Pirates required all the tools of the trade to regulate the seven seas with an iron hand. Of course, the peculiar 'Pirate' look was generally incomplete without a 'Pirate' hat. To add to the costume, if you cannot lay your hands on a hat, you can try a Pirate 'head wrap' as an alternative.

Pirate wear is never effective till their special pirate weapons are included too. When children pick a particular Pirate costume, they mostly take their pick from a collection of such weapons - which ranges from Pirate Guns to Pirate Cutlasses! Some of the Pirates went barefoot; otherwise what they wore was accessorized with black or brown shoes or boots.

You can find the varied styles of clothing that Pirates used to wear, by searching second-hand stores for used clothing. The colors that the Pirates mostly favored, and are most popular in Pirate costume pants, were - black, brown, dark green and burnt orange White, ivory, purple, red or blue were the color choices for shirts. For a perfect 'Pirate' appearance, pick up pants and shirts that are at least one to two sizes too large for you.

Whatever it was that Pirates actually did wear, the overall look was, more often than not, a 'tattered' look. To make your Pirate look appear authentic, take a piece of rope to tie around the waist for a belt. Roll up the shirt sleeves to the elbow. Also, use a scarf, or a wide piece of fabric to be tied around the shirt collar.

The intensity of interest of children in what Pirate wore can be gauged from the fact that Pirate costumes have become highly popular for a 'fancy dress' look! One who wants the look to be nothing less than perfect leaves no stone unturned, searching stores for all that Pirates used to wear. No wonder, you can find amusing variations of Pirate costumes!

Appropriate Fashion Sense For Men During the Winter Season For Layering, Warmth, and Accessories

As the fall time approaches near many men have important decisions to make as to whether or not they are going to smoothly transition into the upcoming winter fashion trends. Many men - depending on what their overall - goals are do not care about fashion coordination. However, this could be due to the fact that they already think they already have a great sense of fashion. It is likely so that there is a considerable amount of fashion trends for men that people should pay close attention to this winter.

First, many men think they can get away with disguising poor fashion sense with a think jacket and/or sweater. However, these garments usually come off when they are introduced to a get together or party where the heat might be uncomfortably too high. Coordination from head to toe can be accomplished simply, as well as vibrantly if applied in the proper manner.

Make sure to match belt color with shoe color. For most men, the choice isn't as evident as it should be. Doing this one simple task can simply make or break your social appeal at a party or dinner engagement. Also, do not wear black and brown colors together. Many men, especially in the winter seem to think that these two colors go together fabulously. Unless, it is extremely light brown, there are very rare occasions when these two colors go together. The worst scenario however is where a brown belt with black shoes (or vice versa) is chosen.

Secondly, layering is a fashion sense that comes in most handy during the winter season. This is because layers - if chosen appropriately - can really accentuate a male's physical characteristics, as well as keep someone warm. A simple while button down is a god start. Make sure to tuck this piece in. Deep v-neck t-shirts are a wise choice for the layer over top. This is because the v-neck portion of this garment will still display the buttons and physical characteristic of the button down shirt underneath. Next, a sweater or vest that also has v-neck characteristics will keep the layering consistent. Coupled with a unbuttoned sweater or jacket will finish the ensemble nicely. Be sure to match colors appropriately.

Lastly, fashion accessories really shine during the winter fashion season. Men should consider matching scarfs, to keep the cold away as well as to display a sense of accessory. Outfit matching hats can also be a wise choice for outings in the cold or fall weather. Wrist watches are ideal as long as one takes into consideration the matching of colors with the belt and shoes. Many men overlook this; however, if one only has one style of watch, then, if not a matching choice, probably better to not wear the watch at all.

These simple steps during the winter season can really bring out a men's sense of fashion coordination. As these various fashion trends leave ample leeway for extreme layering and color combinations. Be sure to take notice of others around you for future ideas and possible implementation as odd are, you might not be the only person at the occasion with a good sense of how to layer clothing appropriately during the winter season.

It is clearly obvious how toddlers are greatly attracted to the Wild western life of cowboys. Thus, even for just a day, you can let them experience the wild life by dressing them up in their own cowgirl costume. Here are the steps on how to put together a complete cowgirl costume for your little girl:

Step 1 - Gather the necessary items needed to complete a cowgirl costume. You need to have the main outfit, which can be a button down shirt and skirt or matched with a pair of denim jeans. If you don't have a cowboy hat and boots, then you should be able to find one at several local stores. You also need to include some Western inspired jewelry.

Step 2 - Once the items are complete, dress your daughter in the jeans or skirt and the button down shirt. Using the bottom part of the button down plaid shirt, tie both ends together at the middle of the dress to create a cowgirl effect. You can use tattered or worn out jeans for a rough cowgirl costume or use a pretty fringed skirt to make a sweet cowgirl dress for your kid.

Step 3 - Put on the cowgirl vest, and loosely tie a scarf around your daughter's neck. Make sure that it's not too tight that your daughter might choke. Use a large buckled belt to accessorize the jeans, yet, belts are still pretty even with the skirt on. Fabric made cuffs can also be included and placed around the lower arms.

Step 4 - You can put on simple jewelries inspired by the Western culture. Beaded jewelries are much more appropriate for the traditional Western cowgirl costume, while silver jewelries can be used for a modern themed costume. You can also apply make up for a prettier toddler cowgirl.

Step 5 - Fix your daughter's hair in pigtails. Use colorful ribbon to tie the hair securely. Then, put on the cowgirl hat with the pigtails set just below the hat. However, you can also braid your daughter's hair positioned on one side of the head.

Step 6 - Put on the boots. Make sure that the boots are comfortable to use for your daughter. There are customized soft soled boots that replicate the look of an authentic cowboy boots. This is safer to use and can be bought at some shoe store or your favorite costume store on the Internet.

When putting together a costume for your toddlers, make sure that these items are safe and comfortable to use. Also, choose the appropriate color on each outfit so that they will complement the whole outfit together. It's easy to make a toddler cowgirl costume for your daughter. Surely, she will never forget the memory when she once dressed up as a true cowgirl of the West.

How to Dress to Survive Cold Weather - 12 Tips on How to Stay Warm Outside During Winter

1. 
   Dress in Layers - You can always remove outer layers if you get warm.


2. 
   Wear 100% Polypropylene underwear - or other moisture wicking underwear. No matter how many layers you wear, you will be cold if you are wet. The key is to wear form-fitting, moisture-wicking underwear that will wick the moisture away from your skin. Cotton underwear will soak up moisture and hold it next to your skin, making you cold.


3. 
   Avoid Unnecessary Movement - if you know you will have to be still later on. For instance, if you are a hunter walking to your tree stand or blind, start earlier and walk slowly so as not to cause excessive sweating. Also, it is a good idea to tie your coat around your waist or put it in your daypack as you walk. You may be cold at first, but with the coat on you are more likely to sweat. As you walk, you will warm up. Save the coat for when you really need it and are sitting still for long periods of time.


4. 
   Wear a Hat or Cap - Most of your body heat is lost through your head. You will be surprised at how much warmer you will be if you wear something on your head. You may also choose to wear some other type of warm headgear. Something such as a ski mask that covers your face, including your ears, and nose is nice and in some climates essential. Again, save the hat for when you are still or have a lower level of activity if possible. A 100% polypropylene baklava under your head gear will serve to wick moisture away from your head.


5. 
   Wear a Scarf - or turtleneck. Just make sure your neck is covered with something warm.


6. 
   Wear Warm Outer Layers - 100% wool is a good insulator, or you may choose from a host of other high tech outer layers such as polar fleece. Always pack a rain suit or other water-proof outer shell that is large enough to cover all of your layers. If it starts to rain you will be glad you did! Take along a heavy water-resistant coat. Don't skimp on something cheap. Get a coat with good insulating qualities and a built-in hood. Outer shells that have a wind blocking material in them will help keep those cold gusts from making their way through your clothing. Wear pants that fit a little loose with layers on under them. Blouse your pants with blousing rubbers or stuff them into your boots to trap body heat and prevent cold drafts from finding a path up your pants leg.


7. 
   Wear Mittens - Believe me when I tell you that your fingers will be much warmer with mittens on than with gloves! Now there are mittens that have a folding top part which allows you to expose the ends of your fingers when you need to use them. You can then flip the top half of the mitten right back over your fingers for protection.


8. 
   Use a Hand Warmer - If you're going to be sitting still for long periods of time and it is important to you to have more finger dexterity than pop-top mittens will allow, you may want to give a hand warmer a try. These are usually made from polar fleece or other warm material and have a waist strap with a quick release. The heat generated from your hands inside the insulated sleeve keeps your fingers toasty and ready for use at a moments notice. Also referred to as a hand warmer is a device which operates on butane. The outer shell of the hand warmer is aluminum and it is carried in a cloth pouch with draw strings. For hunters and wildlife observers this may not be a good option, since the scent from the burning butane may alert wildlife downwind of you to your presence. If it's cold enough, you may not care.


9. 
   Wear Under Socks - Start off with under socks made of 100% polypropylene. You need to wick as much moisture as possible away from your feet and toes. A pair of thick wool socks over your under socks will serve to further wick moisture and they will also act as a good insulator.

10. Wear a good pair of cold weather boots - Your choice of boots should depend on where you intend to trek, how much you intend to walk, and how cold you expect the weather to be. If the weather is not that cold...let's say 40 - 50 degrees above zero, Fahrenheit, and you intend to trek across areas where you may have to step in small puddles wear a good pair of boots that have good insulation and contain a water-resistant material that allows your feet to breath. If you expect to be sitting still for an extended period of time, you will want to wear boots that are designed with a large pocket of air in the toes. This air pocket along with insulation in the boot will keep your toes warm in some very cold weather! The only drawback is that you will look like you are wearing Mickey Mouse shoes! They are cumbersome to walk in for long distances, however for times when you don't need to walk very far and will be sitting for an hour or more in very cold weather, these boots are perfect!

11. Buy Your Boots with Extra Room - Be sure when you try on a pair of boots that you wear the socks you will be wearing in the woods. If you wear a pair of athletic socks when you try on your new cold-weather boots, there will not be enough room for your thick wool socks. I would rather my cold weather boots were just a little on the big side rather than the other way around. Extra air in the toes provides for extra insulation. Tight boots restrict circulation in your toes which will also make them colder. Just make sure you don't get boots that are so big they rub a blister on your heel.

12. Use a Blind - whenever possible for wildlife viewing or hunting. Anything to help block the wind will also help keep you warm.

The Muslim Headscarf

Muslim women wear the Muslim headscarf for religious reasons which means obeying the commandments of God. In Islam, the words of God are that the women should be modest and follow the principle of clothing. She should cover her beauty. At home or among family or in front of her husband there is no need to wear the Muslim headscarf. Many Muslim women wear the headscarf. Some of the women wear both head covering as well as the face veil which is called niqab. While other wear simple head scarves known as khimar. In some of the Muslim countries women have to wear the burqa and chador that covers them from head to foot. All these types of the Muslim headscarf which is said to follow the laws of God are called Hijab.

The Muslim women wears the hijab or other Muslim headscarf so as to maintain the modesty that Muslim religion teaches. With the development of technology and the effect of westernization, various types of head coverings have made entries in this arena, even for many Muslim women, hijab no longer remained the center of focus. This new trend has been named as liberation in some spheres while other considered it modernization. There was a time a few years back in non-Muslim world, due to great misconception, hijab was being symbolized as radicalism. That was the time when many conscious Muslims made all attempts to restore their religious and ethnic identities. As a result, today all over the world, Muslim women gladly embrace the modest ways of dressing by using Muslim headscarfs such as jilbabs, abayas and hijabs.

In the opinion of various Muslim women scholars, political activists, and scientists if a woman covers her head, it is not an indication of fundamentalism or oppression. In fact, by covering their heads they please God - the creator of the whole mankind. Many Muslim women represent their faith by proudly and confidently wearing the Muslim headscarf in public.

Nowadays it gives many Muslim women self-esteemed by wearing the headscarf. They are neither afraid nor ashamed to wear hijab in all conditions. In fact they feel confidence and honoured to be successful and educated women that can make an impact on others as well. Wearing a headscarve is not only a simple Muslim practice but covering the head in other religions such as the Jewish tradition is equally important. Also the reason behind wearing the Muslim headscarf is to keep women modest and protect them from the eye of men who have immoral thoughts.

Winter 2011 Fashion Trends Using Wholesale Caps Or Hats

Winter 2011 is fast approaching and with it comes the changing fashion trends. From wholesale caps or hats to winter coats and other outerwear, it's easy to take part in trends that keep you looking your best. If you're looking for the hottest fashion trends that use a hat or cap, take advantage of this easy to follow guide.

Jewel Tones Make A Comeback

Jewel tones are some of the hottest colors in wholesale baseball caps and more. Jewel tones are rich, deep colors like dark chocolate brown, plum, ocean teal, charcoal grey, black and nautical inspired navy. A jewel tone custom baseball hat can match or coordinate with an updated jewel tone casual winter jacket such as a lightweight fleece.

Textures Add Warmth And Style

Aside from fashion, one of the biggest reasons people wear wholesale caps or hats is for warmth. Special details such as cabling and faux fur can help add to the insulating properties of the hat. Other details such as distressing and braiding can help enhance the style and create a custom, one of a kind look.

Patterns A Strong Look For 2011

Patterns are proving to be a strong trend, especially among younger wearers. Oftentimes, young fashionistas pair patterened wholesale caps or hats with gloves and scarves in the same pattern. The pairing creates a pulled-together look and patterns include plaids, argyles, Aztec designs and geometrics. Some fashionistas don't want the matchy-matchiness that comes with the same design and choose to pair a patterned hat with a solid color scarf and pair of gloves.

Neon Looks Are Back

If you lived in the late 1970s or early 1980s, you likely remember the bright, loud neon colors. Today's younger fashion experts are bringing these back with a vengeance. Colors like bright orange, lemon yellow, lime green and fuchsia pink can be found on a number of wholesale baseball caps or other hats and are an easy, inexpensive way to ease into the neon trend.

Animals Make A Resurgence With Young And Old

For years, babies, toddlers and other small children looked adorably cute when wearing a cap with an animal face or head. This trend includes animals like frogs, monkeys, bears, moose, cows and more and has extended to both young and old.

Why Using Wholesale Caps Or Hats Is A Great Way To Take Advantage Of Trends

It can be expensive to follow the latest fashion trends every year. Smart fashionistas know that something small and relatively inexpensive like wholesale baseball caps or other types of hats are the perfect way to follow trends without spending a lot. Instead of paying a few hundred dollars for a coat that may fall out of fashion next season, consider using a custom baseball hat to update your look. It's a quick, easy way to follow fickle trends without breaking the bank.

Winter 2011 trends can be easy to follow, especially if you use a cap or hat smartly. Use this guide and you're sure to be a trendsetter this winter.

WholesaleHats.com has been providing customers with great prices and service on wholesale baseball caps and wholesale caps or hats since 1979.

Alternative Weapons - Instinctive Self Defense

What form of self-defense could be more instinctive than using whatever ordinary objects around you to defend yourself against an attacker? Objects that were neither designed with self-defense in mind, nor specially carried for such a purpose by you. Objects that will neither raise the suspicion of Law Enforcement, nor take up any extra room since you would have had them either on your person or in your surroundings and environment anyway.

A person who has the right motivation, talent and will to survive can employ almost any object as a weapon.

Anything can become a weapon when your mind is the real weapon. Governments can't ban it, customs can't confiscate it and the only time you don't have it is when you are asleep. This is the KEY lesson you should take away from this article.

In today's anti-weapons climate many times and in many locations it's impossible to carry a gun or knife (Courts, airports, etc). Even in your home at the time of a violent invasion you might not be close to your gun, or even knife.

Sometimes all you have left is your tactical creativity and your motivation and ability for thinking outside the box.

Your mind will always be your greatest weapon, not least of all because with your intelligence and ingenuity you can locate the most effective duel use objects to use as weapons during an assault. Your mind is a weapon, and with it you are never unarmed. Wherever you are I guarantee you you are surrounded by a multitude of potential weapons. Learn to spot them effectively.

While the will to use improvised weapons is often instinctive for the experienced fighter, the effectiveness of such improvised weapons can depend on how good an eye you have in not only quickly locating and choosing your improvised "weapon" but also on your ability to use that object in a way that will disable your attacker effectively (or allow you to escape the threat). And it is this ability that will increase only with proper training.

First a few thoughts on Natural Reactions:

Think of fights you might have seen yourself. What are the first natural reactions a person has when being attacked? First the person will put up his arms to block any attack, then they will instinctively grab for any object that can multiply the expediency of their own "god" given weapons (their body and limbs). Often one of the first such objects grabbed is a chair and it is used as a shield. If not a chair it will be another object that can be used as either a weapon or shield. It's an instinctive and natural reaction displayed by seasoned fighters and people with no experience in self defense alike.

Often the manner in which the attacked will use the object depends on their mindset and/or level of aggression and the situation itself. For example some people when attacked will grab a chair and only use it as a shield. Other more aggressive fighters will instinctively begin hitting their attacker with the same chair and thus using it more as a striking weapon than merely a shield. Using the chair or other object as a striking weapon will disrupt your attacker's ability from gaining direction, lead and control of the attack. While using the chair or other object as a shield can often be useful initially (especially in a surprise attack) you need to gain dominance and control rapidly through overwhelming force and aggression.

Often not much thought goes into such a split second decision in terms of exactly which object to grab for. There simply isn't enough time for someone who is being attacked to weigh up the potential effectiveness of one object over another. This will come with experience.
At the end of the day though, almost any object can be used as either a weapon or atleast a shield, some objects that I'm sure you would never have thought of as weapons or even shields. Obviously though, some objects are more effective than others.

The following is a list of a few possible objects you very well might have in your environment that could be employed as improvised weapons or shields:

The flashlight:

A favourite among many a self defense practitioner for years now. Wrap some 550 paracord around it and make a Koppo type weapon or use by itself. Either way it's a popular alternative weapon (and flashlight!). Can be used to momentarily blind an attacker or as an impact weapon. See specialist knowledge on how to use it most effectively.

Car antenna:

Listen up, in particular women who walk alone in car parks! You can quite quickly break off a metal car antenna and use it to fend off one or more attackers in a whipping action. The strikes can be very painful and effective and will likely at the very least stun and discourage an attacker from continuing. Remember, often these predators are looking for an easy victim. If you prove to the attacker that you'll be more trouble than your worth, he's quite likely to discontinue the attack and seek out someone who will give him less trouble.

Keys:

Not the easiest or most effective option in reality despite often being recommended by defensive instructors. Shouldn't be your first choice, however if you have nothing else at hand it's better than nothing. Hold key between middle fingers and use to punch with greater effect. Or can be used to scrape across attacker's face.

Steel cap boots:

Often overlooked but very legal everywhere and a very painful alternative weapon. Kick attacker in the shins or groin. A real fight stopper with proper aim.

Pens:

As the saying goes, "The pen is mightier than the sword". Well, surely that was meant figuratively. In any case, when carrying a sword during your daily business is not a reasonable option (and I can't imagine it is for most people) a pen makes quite a mighty alternative weapon. Another favorite among seasoned Martialists. Can be used as a stabbing implement or as a makeshift Kubaton. Hold in a pikal grip with your thumb on the clicker or blunt end and stab down or sideways repeatedly with the pointy end outwards. Hit to the liver, other soft appendages and neck for greatest effect. If you know how to use a Kubaton you know how to use a pen as a weapon. Choose a hefty strong metal pen like the now discontinued Rotring 600, a beefy hexagonal pen made of chrome-plated brass. Always legal, always useful for the intelligent and literate person for more than just self-defense, and a good alternative weapon for the concerned self defense practitioner.

The beer bottle, or other glass bottle:

Be careful with this one. Unlike in the movies DO NOT ever first break the bottle on the table thinking you'll be left with a sharp knife like weapon. You won't. In reality what you will be left with is a small piece of the bottle's neck.
That's it. Nothing sharp protruding at any length and nothing you can use effectively as a weapon.
In fact, for that matter, most of what you see on TV does not work, was never meant to work, and if you try it you'll probably be in big trouble.
You can still use a glass bottle as a weapon though, just don't break it on the table first, smash it directly in your attacker's face! Preferably use a glass bottle full of liquids, as an empty one will be far less effective.

Coffee mug or glass or ceramic cup:

Smash it across your attacker's face much like the glass bottle.

If you have hot coffee inside at the time, obviously splash it on his face. All the sudden you won't complain that McDonalds makes their coffee too hot. The hotter the better as an alternative weapon.

If there is alcohol inside your glass, throw it in your attacker's face. Aim for the eyes for stinging effect.

Carabiner:

An old army trick. Use a large one as a makeshift "knuckleduster". Works well. Punch and hammer fist your attacker's head and face. Preferably you would have a steel one, but an aluminum type will work well enough if need be.

A chair:

A chair, not only to keep lions at bay they can also keep your attacker at bay or shield you from a knife attack. They also make good larger improvised impact devices, although they are mainly best used as a shield.

Trash can lid:

Another great improvised shield. The trash can itself can be thrown at the BG and might at least give you time to escape or to employ a better weapon.

Dresser drawer:

That's right, if you're attacked in your bedroom immediately grab and pull out a drawer from the dresser. Can be used as a shield or even as an impact weapon, much like the laptop or book. Check out your drawers right now and see if they come out completely and easily. If they don't, try modifying them.

Walking cane/stick:

One of the best alternative weapons. Huge striking power. Easy to use and especially effective with modern Arnis Filipino stick fighting techniques. Always legal, always with you, always right in your hand ready to be used to strike, to disarm or to block an attack. It can however make you seem weaker or partially disabled, and thus can make you a more desirable victim or target to an attacker. Remember, predators target the weakest people, or in other words the people who they think will put up the least amount of fight. Keep this in mind and decide for yourself whether a walking stick is a good option. Certainly, in any case, if you carry a walking stick then do seek out combat stick training.

A padlock:

Devastating weapon, you can only hope to be lucky enough to have one handy. Slip your middle finger inside the steel loop with the rest of the padlock in your fist. Use as makeshift knuckleduster or fist-load. Or swing padlock at your attacker while holding it with one finger and the rest of padlock outwards. Aim for head, as the padlock would be too small to do damage to body.

Ashtray:

Usually a hefty solid weapon. Grab it like a frisbee and slam it into your assailant's head, face, or jam it in his neck or throat. Throw the cigarette butts and ashes in his face as a distraction.

Magazine:

Rolled up it can make an excellent impact weapon. Most effective using quick, strong, short strikes repeatedly to attacker's face and to other more sensitive areas due to the inherent lack of mass of the magazine.

Tie:

If you're a business man in a suit you've got an excellent flexible weapon or a possible garrot as part of you wardrobe. If your attacker is in fact the one wearing a tie you can use it to control or disorient him. Grab his tie and pull downwards hard.

Please note: This is one reason I generally advise people not to wear anything that doesn't break easily around the neck. It is too easy for someone to use it to control you during an attack, just as you can use the same tactic on someone else.

Laptop:

As was recently reported a celebrity used one as a weapon against a pushy paparazzi with great effect. Hold with both hands and slam into your attacker's face full force or push out and jab it into his face, neck or midsection with the sides/edges of the closed laptop. Can also be used to shield against an attacker's weapon or strike.

Clipboard:

Used much the same way as the laptop. Has thinner and so sharper edges, however on the other hand it also has less mass and might be less painful because of that.

A book:

Not only good for reading and learning. Used much the same way as the laptop and clipboard, although the book would have more heft than a clipboard.

Briefcase:

You're already holding it, and it has a secure handle. Swing it into your attacker's face/head or use as a shield. Push him away with the briefcase and escape. Open briefcase and take out other alternative weapons that have been mentioned here such as magazine, pen, etc.

Lamp:

You'll usually have a lamp nearby in your home. Grab it, and smash it across your attacker's face. Use the cord as a flexible weapon.

Fire extinguisher:

Has been used before with great effect. Devastating power. Aim for head/face. Makes an excellent shield too. Also spray contents directly onto attacker. It will at the least disorient him, it will often even hide your exit due to the cloud of white dust.

Put one in you car. You should have one in your car anyway for fire safety, but it might even save your life if you need to use it as a weapon.

Duct tape:

Not a weapon as such but makes good handcuffs to hold your attacker until the police arrive. Large zip ties are a good alternative to duct tape.

Light switch:

Darkness is a brilliant weapon under the right circumstances. If you are attacked by night, the light switch can be the best "weapon" for defense, without really being a weapon as such. Simply turn the lights off. Darkness is a tactical advantage for you, after all you know the layout of your own house while your attacker does not. You also know where you have other weapons and escape routes. Darkness could also simply give you the time needed to escape. Also, darkness will increase the blinding effectiveness of your flashlight if you are carrying one.

Clothing:

Are you wearing a coat or scarf? A coat or jacket can be used to shield yourself against an attacker's knife or other weapon. Wrap it around your weak arm, and hit and defend yourself with your strong arm and legs.

The long sleeves can also be used as a flexible weapon for choking or entangling limbs.

If on your bicycle:

Your helmet, tire pump, and flexible bike locks are potential impact devices.

Even the bike itself can act as an effective shield against an attacker. It will act as a good obstruction between you and him giving you time to escape. If need be it can even be thrown at the attacker.

Belt buckle:

A heavy brass or steel one. Can make a great impact weapon. Can even be swung at the attacker since it's attached to your belt.

Belt:

Even without a heavy buckle your belt can be one of the best flexible weapons available.

Sprays:

Any spray will do brilliantly. Think about it, what spray do you have around? Hair spray? Deodorant? Air freshener? Silicone spray? I personally have all and more of these sprays right here as I type this, aside from the hair spray. All these sprays will blind your attacker almost as well as pepper spray. If you're a smoker you probably have a lighter handy. Add a lighter in front of the spray and you've got an excellent flame thrower. I'm sure we all tried this when we were kids.

At the very least the spray can be used as an impact weapon if nothing else.

Comb:

Especially a metal comb.

Can be raked across an attacker's face repeatedly with good success.

Umbrella:

Always another favorite. The larger ones make a good impact weapon and improvised stick fighting weapon. Also a great shield a la Roman style when opened. Some of the full sized ones have a pointy bit protruding, perhaps 2 to 3 inches long, so while you shield yourself you can also push the opened umbrella forward into the attacker's face and body.

The smaller umbrellas are good too, however of course they are less durable and have less power due to lack of size.

Iron:

A great common household device. Can cause a lot of damage from use as a striking weapon, and again most irons have an electrical cord that makes a good flexible weapon as well.

A broom or mop:

Another long impact device. Can be used as a long staff for stick fighting techniques. Can also be used to hold the attacker at a distance.

Your car:

While it's not always justified to use deadly force in this way since it can be argued that if you're inside your car you are safe, if a gang of hoodlums or an angry middle eastern mob is surrounding your car, you've got 3000 pounds worth of effective weaponry on hand. At times deadly force can be justified depending on the situation including any disparity of force between you and the attacker(s) and the resulting danger you face at the time. Your main goal should be to escape in this case, but if necessary run a hoodlum over to affect your escape.

A phone:

Excellent impact device, very handy. A cord phone also makes a good flexible weapon if you're skilled in using one effectively.

Phones have been used many times as impact devices.

Coins:

Throw coins from your pocket into the face of your attacker. Another good diversionary tactic.

A packed roll of coins can also make a good fist-load and has been used many times as such.

Sports equipment:

Tennis racket, golf club, pool stick, the obvious and often used baseball bat, dumbbells, etc. All are excellent impact devices. Keep a few golf clubs and balls in your car even if you don't play. Or a baseball bat and glove and maybe some balls too in order to not raise the suspicion of LEO.

Watch:

Preferably a heavy steel dive watch. Take the watch off your wrist and wrap it around the fist you punch with (strong arm). The first punch should break the glass and subsequent punches could cut your attacker up. Even if the glass doesn't break and cut him it's still a good improvised impact device if need be.

Bracelet:

A la Fred Perrin style. Only works with a solid one piece bracelet, not the flexible link type. Take your metal bracelet off and hold in your fist. Use as an impact device to punch with.

Your voice:

Your voice can be a great improvised weapon wherever you are.

Verbally you can often stop, control or at very least influence the direction of an attack. Far too an extensive a subject to get into here. Learn about verbal commands and communication skills for defensive purposes/redirection of attacker's violent behavior toward you. Sometimes known as verbal judo. Any good martial art or self defense system needs to address this subject.

---- One note on employing flexible weapons:

As you can see a number of the potential weapons I mentioned in this small list are flexible, for example the electrical cord and clothing. Please keep in mind that as with most flexible weapons, specialist knowledge in hand to hand combat is needed for most effective use. Flexible weapons simply aren't as straight forward as let's say a chair or even a book which will instinctively be used as a shield often even by people with little or no experience in self defense.

This is merely a small sampling of possibilities. It would be impossible to list for you all the possible alternative use "weapons"/objects you might come across that might be of great defensive use during an attack. The list would be too large, and no one can know what will be available to you in your specific environment at that time. Obviously some environments are richer in potential alternative weaponry than others. It's you're job to train yourself to identify these potential weapons out of any objects around you.

From now on look at the objects around you with a different eye. Look at objects in your surroundings through sort of a "weapons" filter. Specifically ask yourself, which ones can make an effective weapon? How would you use it? Will that object really cause hurt to your attacker and disable him, or is it really just a waste of time? Sometimes an object would make such a poor weapon that it's better to fight unarmed. Learn to accurately evaluate potential weapons in your environment.

No one can really instruct you or show you every object that has the potential to be used as a weapon. Above all it is a mindset that you will have to develop. Preparation and training is the best way to help guarantee a better chance for success in a self defense incident. But once you develop this situational awareness and survival mentality you'll be much better prepared to defend yourself in any situation than ever before, for you will have an instinctive understanding and application of self defense as a way of life.

Think outside the box, think like a fighter, like someone committed to self preservation and the defense of loved ones from societal predators.

Potential weapons are all around you.

It is now simply a matter of identifying them.

How to Give Your Woman Multiple Orgasms Through Oral Stimulation and Double Penetration

Indulging in kinky activities has become a normal part of many couples' sex lives. Some will use bondage or role play as a special treat, while others will act out their sexual fantasies more frequently.

Many women say that they enjoy a light spank on the buttocks while they're partner is penetrating them doggie style. For the guys, being blindfolded and having their hands bound with their lady's nylons while she has her wicked way, can be an incredible turn on.

Whether you're an adventurous couple seeking to experiment, or you've been together a while and want to try something new, getting kinky can be an exciting and very pleasurable way to spice things up.

Guys, here's an incredibly arousing idea to try that can give your woman multiple orgasms and provide intense sexual pleasure for you both. You will need the following items: a blindfold, a stocking or scarf, a small dildo or vibrator and some lubricant.

Blindfold and Foreplay
With your lady in the centre of the bed, begin with gentle kissing and caressing. Take her hands and slowly guide her to a sitting up position where you will then apply the blindfold. If you do not have a blindfold you can use a scarf. Once you have covered her eyes, ask her if she's comfortable and ensure that she can't peek - this will get her wondering what you're up to and add to her excitement.

Bondage and More Foreplay
Gentle kisses to her neck with mild nibbling of her ear lobes can be very arousing. A passionate sigh followed by a whisper in her ear to tell her how much you enjoy doing this to her can further increase her pleasure.

Moving down to her breasts - use the tip of your tongue to gently flick backwards and forwards, side to side and around the nipples. French kissing her nipples, subtle sucking and rubbing them with your lips are all pleasurable. Sometimes a very gentle nibble can create a tingling sensation which she'll also find arousing.

While holding her hands down, as if pinning her to the bed, link her fingers with yours and kiss her slowly and passionately. Bring her hands together and lightly bind her wrists with one of her stockings. If possible, tie her hands to the headboard - this will make her feel totally submissive to you.

Oral Stimulation
With your lady blindfolded and her hands bound, position yourself between her legs and caress her body by moving your hands lightly along the centre and sides of her torso, continuing over her hips and down the outside of her thighs. Bring your hands back up along her inner thighs and slowly part her legs to further expose her vaginal area.

Tease her with a stroke of your tongue starting from her vagina and moving up to her clitoris. Do this a couple of times before staying on her clitoral area. Move the tip of your tongue up and down and from side to side. Gently suck and lick her while alternating French kisses between her clitoris and vagina. Push your tongue in and out a few times before moving back to her clitoris. If you can caress her body while stimulating her orally, this will heighten her pleasure.

Adding Your Fingers
Expose her clitoris by gently parting her labia with the thumb and forefinger of one hand and continue sucking and licking her. Insert a finger from your other hand into her vagina and softly curl it towards you so as to stimulate her g-spot on the outer wall of her vagina. Alternate the movements of your tongue and finger to circular motions - she will be in ecstasy! At the same time, try letting out an enthusiastic moan of your own while telling her how much you enjoy doing this to her - see how she responds!

Next, lubricate her anus and while continuing to stimulate her clitoris with your tongue, insert one finger into her vagina and another into her anus and gently move them in and out. Do not alternate the same finger between anal and vaginal stimulation as this can cause her infection.

Double Penetration and Multiple Orgasms
When you sense that your woman is close to climax or indeed she tells you so, insert the dildo or vibrator into her anus - ensuring she is adequately lubricated at all times. Continue to lick and suck her clitoris. Once she begins climaxing, enter her vagina with your penis while the sex toy is still penetrating her anus. This can prolong and intensify her orgasm or indeed bring on another. Either way, indulging in this kinky idea can provide a pleasurable experience for you both.

The tricky part is keeping the dildo in her anus while you enter her vagina. For this reason, some couples prefer to use a sex toy known as a butt plug. This is a type of dildo shaped so that it is thinner at the top, enabling easier penetration; thicker in the middle and again thinner at the base so that it remains in place during intercourse.

A Little Too Exciting
Introducing this kinky idea into your sex life can be extremely exciting for both partners.

Summer Girls Just Want To Wear A Scarf

It is always pretty interesting to note the different and fashionable approaches men and most especially women have when it comes to dressing up for summer. Most famously, miniskirts and endless show of skin are the typical scene come summer time. That is basically the reason why so many women have "lose weight" as their number one resolution at the beginning of the year. It is also an obvious fact that when it comes to accessories, girls always choose a scarf when preparing for their hot days out on the beach or anywhere else their vacation itineraries take them.

What is so great about a scarf, you ask? It is simple, really. Can you not see that scarves come in a wide variety of bright and vibrant colors? Take note, summer is synonymous to having fun and letting your imaginations run free and wild because inhibitions aside, it is during this time when everyone can relax and de-stress from the pressures of real life or rather work. The fashion of people comes in response to this circumstance and therefore, you always see a gorgeous display of colors and fun prints. Obviously, scarves are fun, colorful and they are the best accessories that people have on them all summer long.

Going to the beach with your perfect bikini and skimpiest shorts may be the easiest way out in terms of thinking about what to wear to the beach. That may be ok but any outfit is not complete without the right accessories. As it is, wearing a scarf can do just the trick. Since it is sometimes too hot and sticky to wear necklaces, you can substitute it with scarves. They do not press against your skin nor do they give you that uncomfortable feeling that necklaces' chains usually have. A big bonus is the fact that you can tie a scarf in so many ways. All you have to do is use your creativity or better yet, just go search the internet or follow your favorite celebrities' way of tying theirs.

The most popular way of wearing your colorful scarf is by wearing it on your head.

Moreover, the sticky and salty effect of the salty air would not be able affect your hair as well. All day long even until night, you can be assured that you would not be looking like a sunburned, big and messy hair girl. You can still continue to look as flashy as your outfit and party on until the wee hours of the morning. That is how practical and fashionable scarves can be when you wear it out on the beach.

Another way of incorporating it in your summer outfit is by making use of it as a beach cover-up. So now you can sexily flaunt your well-toned body without having to bother with wearing shorts or skirt while sauntering at the beach, in and out of the water.

Then, grasp on to one end while bringing the other end behind and over the top of your head diagonally. Wrap fabric smoothly at an angle around your head. After the second loop, carefully twist fabric on one side, bringing it down from your forehead and around, creating a ridge. Repeat this twist on every other turn so that the fabric crosses in front, working your way up. After several turns (about six times for an adult), tuck in the end under the top of the turban; secure with pins.

Tube Headwrap (The material used in this vlog is not cotton)

This Video was recorded October 2008 Although the headwrap may look like it's cotton, it's actually 95% Polyester 5% Spandex. You're choice of fabric may be silk or satin only (I do not get along with either because they always eventually slide off ). Therefore, I choose Blended Fabrics (polyester, rayon, spandex, which may include a little cotton or cotton blend, etc) for my headwraps, As of today, I haven't experienced any breakage from using 100% polyester or blended fabrics as a headwrap. Note: When you think of cotton not being used near your beautiful mane, I do not think they were speaking of headwraps made of blended material, but of Cotton Pillow Cases. When you're sleeping at night, you tend to twist and turn, causing your hair to rub against the pillowcase. If you're already dealing with damage from relaxers, highlights, colors, perms, or heat, then cotton would not be a great choice for a pillowcase.
