...This Jacques Tiffeau suit is a representative of the late 1960s womens’ fashion. French designer Jacques Tiffeau was born in 1927, and moved to the United States during the late 1940s. The most iconic part of this suit is the zipper presented in the front of the suit and the skirt.

The “Big Brave Zipper” was introduced during that time and was considered very fashion forward. The “Big Brave Zipper” usually becomes the attention of the garment. The difference part about this suit is that the zipper was not the popular “Big Brave Zipper” of that time, but rather a regulate zipper. Instead of presenting the large silver ring,...

...for her purity and character which is real ornament for her to wear. Basing on this I had chosen Beading/ surface ornamentation as my component of clothing. My main focus is on surface ornamentation which started out in ancient Egyptian (3000-300B.C) as beaded collars and sheath dress, again it appeared in byzantine era (A.D 300-1450) with heavy ornamentation of precious stones around the front neck and hems which was similar to that of decorating the surface from Egyptian era. Surface Decoration first appeared as beaded collars in 4th Dynasty in the old kingdom of Egypt wore by both men and women for decorative and symbolic purpose. The evidence of using beads for surface decoration can be seen in the pictures of the Tutankhamen tomb. From that age, the skill of beading work was developed and used in ornaments and later on clothes like the beaded sheath dress. They strung beads together into wide, fan shaped necklaces called beaded collars. The collar was a favorite ornament of the pharaohs in the Egyptian age for surface decoration. These were also given to officials, soldiers and dignitaries as a mark of honor. During the Egyptian era, majority of the surface ornamentation was limited to collars only. These collars were made of beads and gold soon beads were made from gemstones to show social status. More than mere decoration, surface ornamentation in...

...I pick up the old crisp photograph lying on my desk. This 74 year old piece of paper was well taken care of. The photo accommodates the aroma that all antiques have . I say that it's the smell of old. An unknown face smiles back at me from the photo. He wears a black sheepskin jacket with a big white wool collar, and underneath he wears a nicely pressed summer tan uniform with small golden painted sterling silver wings pinned to the collars. He wears his cap tilted to the side to show his smoothly styled hair. A young soldier barely old enough to drink. A face yet to see war, but soon to enter in the midst a world engulfed in hell. This man in the photo was my great uncle. And in my hands, printed on that small piece, I hold a tragic story. My grandma told me that he had been shot down in the war, and his body was never returned home. No one knew exactly what he did during the war other than that he was shot down. I felt determined to find out what he did like I had for many other relatives. All I had to go on was a name, Lt Glen R Wrobel. After extensive research I learned the full story. The 22 year old who grew up in Stoddard, Wisconsin and who left 5 siblings and his home to go to Germany and serve as a bombardier on a B-24J Liberator with the 492nd Bomb Squadron....

...thin coat of snow. I love snow, because it is saintly pure. Winter differs from the other seasons in that it is not as warmag spring, neither as hot as summer, nor as sad as autumn. The snowflake has her own grace and inspiration. It seems tender, yet it is amazingly attractive. The snowflakes are flying here and there and everywhere. It seems as if they are little stars in the universe moving along their own orbit. Look! What a spotless silvery world, how great, how magnificent! Away from the crowds of people,I stroll alone in the snow. Standing in the snow, flakes of snow float over my head, kissing me on the cheecks and falling on my eyebrow.

...many universities and colleges across this nation there is an annual commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and his vision of “a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” In one eloquent phrase, Dr. King defined both the essence of racism and its cure. Judging someone by race or skin color is racism, and moving toward judging someone only by their demonstrated character is the cure for racism. Campbell, D. G. (2012). The cultivation of racism. Academic Questions, 25(3), 389-393. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12129-012-9310-y The controversy has been framed in terms of gender (women), sexual preference (gays), religion (Muslims), ethnicity (Hispanics), and class (blue-collar workers), among others. But it is perhaps more stark in the case of race. Racism against "Blacks" is frequently cited as a reason why society needs to change not only the way "Blacks" are perceived by members of other races, but also how "Blacks" perceive themselves. (I place the names of races within quotes to indicate that I am using standard terminology, but I should not be taken as endorsing it.) In order to fight racism, "Blacks" need to develop positive attitudes toward themselves and to fight for policies that benefit them. But...

...College of Tourism – Varna Cultural Heritage of the Thracians [pic] Written by: Tsvetan 2010 Bulgarian treasures Once upon a time the Thracians inhabited Bulgarian lands. Millennia after, their ancient and mysterious culture revealed its true magnificence. In the last few decades a number of significant collections of Thracian treasures have been discovered in present-day Bulgaria, providing much of our present knowledge of ancient Thrace. Golden mask of a Thracian king Bulgaria’s ancient Thracian heritage was thrust into the spotlight in 2004 with a number of key archaeological discoveries in the so-called Valley of the Thracian Kings. A team of Bulgarian archaeologists, led by Professor Georgi Kitov, discovered a 2400-year old golden mask in the tomb of an ancient Thracian king on August 19. The mask bears the image of a human face and is made of 500 grams of solid gold. The discovery was made near the town of Shipka, in the heart of the Stara Planina Mountain. Dozens of Thracian mounds are spread throughout this region, which archaeologists have called ‘the Bulgarian valley of the kings,’ a reference to the Valley of the Kings near Luxor, which is home to the tombs of Egyptian Pharaohs. “The unique mask looks even better than the famous image of King Agamemnon, the Greek anti-hero described by Homer in the Iliad,” Kitov said after making the discovery. “This is the first Thracian mask of solid...

I touched the vinyl sleeve, the collar, and peeked at the mustard -colored lining. From the kitchen my mother yelled that my jacket was in the closet I raced to the closet to see, a black silver bikers jacket.I was so glad that the green ugly one was my brothers. I wanted to show off. It was big enough to the point that it would fit me for 3 years. I stared at it like it was my baby. I put on the beautiful jacket to see what i looked like. I put my hands in the pockets to see what they felt like.I stood in front of the mirror , full face, then profile, and then looked over my shoulder as if someone called me from the other side of the playground.I combed my hair to see what I looked like doing something natural. I looked hotter than a jalapeno. I hung it up in my closet and looked at it for a long time before I slipped it on and went out to the backyard, smiling a “thank you” and a hug as I passed through the kitchen. With my hand in my leather pockets I kicked a ball against the fence, and then carefully climbed up the wall to the alley. I hurled orange peels at the open garbage can and when the peels were gone I watched the white puff of my...

...Kunal Arora English 101 Professor Martinez 5 April 2011 A Rose for Emily A Rose for Emily is a short intriguing story written by William Faulkner. Emily the main character is portrayed as a woman who kept to herself throughout her whole life. In her younger years her father had driven all her suitors away. No man was good enough for Emily. Emily’s loneliness was especially apparent after her father died and when her boyfriend Homer disappeared. Her hair had turned an irony gray after her father died. She had a black manservant throughout her whole life that went to the market, cooked and gardened for her. During the end of her life the manservant’s visits were the only way that the townspeople knew that she was still alive. After her father died Emily kept his body in her house. A few days after Emily’s father’s death a couple of ladies came to give their condolences. But Emily came to the door dressed in casual clothes and showed no signs of grief. The townspeople were about to resort to law enforcement when she finally broke down and told them that her father was dead. The townspeople did not believe she was crazy, even though they knew insanity ran in her family. They thought Emily did this because they remembered how the father drove all the young men away. Now she was a figure that could be pitied on by the town, alone and penniless. Eventually Emily met Homer, a Yankee who came into town to pave sidewalks during the summer of Emily’s father’s death. They started...
