Just when common people thought fashion world couldn't get any weirder, along come -- the bikini jeans!
Priced at 62 pounds, the eye-catching apparel feature a thong sewn into a pair of supremely low-slung jeans.
Brainchild of Japanese clothing company Sanna's, the booty-cut bottoms were born after a customer said she wanted jeans that sat lower than the hips but did not need to be hoicked up in an unladylike fashion, reports Wales Online.
Designer Sandra Tanimura, who owns a pair of the bikini jeans herself, said: "This was very difficult without the trousers falling down, so I came up with the idea of using the bikini strings."
"They have already taken off in Japan and we believe they will be just as popular in the UK, especially with bold women who like their own bodies."
However, stylist -Wenda James-Rowe said: "They are totally tasteless and terrible -- it's taking things to the extreme."
"If you have a pair of jeans that fall down, just wear a belt. To wear these you would have to be stick thin or you would have big bulges coming out the gaps."
"It's not something I would wear -- maybe they would appeal to really young girls but even if they do, I think the attraction will be short-lived."

Personally I hate this trend. its quiet cheap, but we cant help as everything sells and for a reason...........
Do you fancy shoes that look like your feet and in addition have hair sticking out of its toes? Well, I don’t. I wonder what prompted Nike to come up with this pair? They are outright ugly, though the concept is somewhat unique and quirky.
You’ve heard of modular furniture, modular kitchen and even modular bathroom but did you know that your shoe would be going modular too? The modular shoe that comes with an abundance of zippers allowing you to turn your footwear into shoes, sandals, flip-flops and many other styles won’t ask you to rush back home to change your footwear with a change in plan. This cool gadget shoe recently went on display in Barcelona and possibly will be hitting the market soon.
With flowers abloom, spelling the arrival of spring, its time to overhaul your wardrobe with the latest fashion trends that are going to dominate the fashion scene this season. Very modish, most of the trends are going to be loved by fashionistas for not being very OTT. Ken Downing, Fashion Director at Neiman Marcus has suggested nine must-haves this season.
Pink he says will be the new black, with the color splashed on shoes, bags, dresses, glares and everything imaginable. Uber practical, unstructured carryalls will add functionality to fashion, he suggests. One shoulder dressing will up the glam quotient of style divas manifolds. For more trendy tips visit Neiman Marcus.
Pop sensation Justin Timberlake has a style quotient that the fashion world has always raved about. The panache with which he carries off queer styles that end up becoming fashion norms has made him top the list of the ten most stylish men in America, compiled by the men’s magazine GQ.
The fashion-forward style icon who has endorsed unusual trends like the fedora hat, the formally informal three-piece, teamed with the sneakers look and the famous skinny tie, has always encouraged men to unconventionally experiment with their looks. His guy-next-door looks reflect in his clothing line - William Rast has helped him reach the fashion icon status, famous for endorsing functional fashion.
Looking forward to more trends from you, Justin!
In our modern, superficial society, nearly all of us ask the question "Am I ugly" at one time or another. While we seek to know "how ugly am I", and hope that the answer makes us feel good about ourselves, the honest truth is that we all are ugly in one sense or another.
It is often postulated that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Similarly, ugliness is in the eye of everyone else. To a mother, her children-- no matter how ugly-- are beautiful. When emotion is considered into the beautiful/ugly equation, the results are biased and inaccurate.
I dont blame it on us at all. Its a feeling generated by media all over the world where they always project models with hourglass figure and flawless skin as the "Only Beauty" symbols left and the only standards we al have to fight for.
If that was not true soaps like "Ugly Betty" or "Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin" would not have got success where they actually try to project that not so plastic looking people get ignored and are always bullied.
This media actually only projects The Angelina Jolies and Aishwarya Rais of the world hiding the fact that to maintain this artificial beauty how much health during their FAD Diets and Botox Surgeries they actually compromise.
I agree that looks create a difference but even not all of it can compensate a person's wit , intelligence and warmth.
So people stop worrying about your looks cause its just a "GOD'S GIFT" nothing of anyone's own achievement and no one should boost about it as its sheer luck nothing else..........
Enjoy what God has given us all and BE NATURAL
The Amazon rainforest is the biggest forest in the world and is also the last big space covered with tropical plants and animals. The Amazon forest territory is a tropical rainforest that is located in the north side of the South American continent and is shared by 9 countries: Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Suriname, French Guiana and Guiana. Travel through the forest can be difficult, and a guide or a river tour are the best options to see the natural wonders of the rain forest.
The largest part of is located in Brazil (60%) and covers almost half of that country. The space covered with the forest is 5.5 million square kilometers (3.4 million square miles ). When the Old World explorers reached the Americas they were all looking for gold, silver and gems. The Portuguese explorers that colonized Brazil believed that somewhere in that huge forest they would find the "Eldorado", an entire city made of gold that has an almost intangible value. This hoax came along with the myth that the Eldorado was guarded by the women warrior race of the Amazons.
Expeditions started to go up the Amazon River trying to find the Eldorado. There was a race to find the gold before the Spanish and French arrived, and found it on their own. They never found the Eldorado or the Amazons, but the name was set.
The "Rain" forest is a nickname that describes the humidity that you find in tropical and equatorial forests, but it doesn't rain all the time. Tropical rainforests are always located near the equator, and are very hot. All this heat associated with great portions of water make a lot of evaporation into the air. The forest also helps to retain water in their branches, roots and soil. All of this makes these forests very humid and there's a well defined rainy season that works towards the establishment of this nickname for tropical and equatorial forests.
All this heat, rain and humidity make these forests a very rich ecosystem or habitat for many organisms. A rainforest has trees, like any other forest, but they are very different from the temperate forest you are used to seeing in colder places like in US, Europe and parts of Asia. There are 120 foot trees, thousands of different species of plants, and all sort of rainforest animals including the red eyed tree frog, insects, birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals. The rainforest canopy is home to thousands of animal species. The bio diversity one can experience here is unparalleled. And the most amazing part is that all this apparent chaos is actually a very balanced system, a product of million of years of evolution and natural selection.
But the forest is not only populated by animals and plants, there are many humans there too. The Indians are part of the equilibrium that existed there for thousands of years. The indigenous tribes of the forest live off the land as their ancestors have for thousands of years. The other humans, not native, have settled there for different reasons, but are always looking for opportunities in this unexplored land. Sometimes (usually) this has a negative impact over the forest. The idea of learn how to live from the forest by the forest is something that is not easy, but not impossible either. There are many examples of sustainable use. This type of information needs to become more popular, as deforestation is becoming a danger to the existence of the forest. While logging and forest clearing may be profitable in the short run, in the long run it is a danger to the amazon. It is also a danger the growing eco tourism that is a major attraction to the Amazon for tourists.
Amazonia is a huge and very complex place where nature created a unique set of biological and geological cycles, hardly seen in other places, and where mankind developed different cultures, languages, and art. The mysteries and awe around the Amazon jungle is something we should know and need to protect. There are several programs where on can buy an acre to save the land from harm.

ALL NEW FOR 2009
*In the supersport liter class, there’s always lots of talk about power. You expect that. What you wouldn’t have expected – until now – is a radically superior way to deliver that power. Introducing the 2009 YZF-R1, the first ever production motorcycle with a crossplane crankshaft. Crossplane technology, first pioneered in MotoGP racing with the M1, puts each connecting rod 90° from the next, with an uneven firing interval of 270°- 180°- 90°- 180°.
*YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) is MotoGP inspired fly-by-wire technology used to deliver instant throttle response. YCC-I is Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake which is a variable intake system that broadens the spread of power. The fuel injection system provides optimum air/fuel mixtures for maximum power and smooth throttle response.
*The R1 features Yamaha D-MODE (or drive mode) with rider-selectable throttle control maps to program YCC-T performance characteristics for riding conditions. The standard map is designed for optimum overall performance. The “A” mode lets the rider enjoy sportier engine response in the low- to mid-speed range, and the “B” mode offers response that is somewhat less sharp response for riding situations that require especially sensitive throttle operation. Switching maps is as easy as pushing a button on the handlebar switch.
*In keeping with this machine’s exceptional cornering ability and crisp handling, the all new aluminum frame has been designed to offer exceptional rigidity balance. The rear frame is now lightweight CF die-cast magnesium, contributing the optimum mass centralization. Suspension includes new SOQI front forks which use one of the tricks developed for our winning MotoGP bikes: independent damping.
*Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking/downshifting from high speed.
*The new SOQI rear shock both high and low speed compression damping plus an easy-to-use screw adjustment for preload. This unit also adopts a pillow-ball-type joint for exceptional shock absorption, road hold feeling, and damper response. To achieve maximum performance, a new bottom linkage is used to work with the rest of the chassis refinements for brilliant, crisp handling characteristics.
Factory racers get machines tailored to their preferences. Welcome to the club. R1 has adjustable footrests, with a 15mm height and 3mm front-to-rear adjustment.
Some of the most effective one's:
"Excuse me, is this seat taken?"
"Would you like to dance?"
"Can I interest you in a glass of…?"
"Do you come here often? I could use your opinion about something…"
"Excuse me; can you help me with…?"
"Don’t you find this place…?"
"You look like you might be interested in some great conversation."
"Would you like an escort to your…"
"Wow! I really like that (insert item of clothing or fragrance) you’re wearing."
"I just thought you should know that you have a really nice…"
"Hey girl, you look so good, I'd marry your brother just to get in your family."
"Do you know what'd look good on you? Me."
"If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together."
"Please help the homeless. Take me home with you..."
"You are a 9.999. Well, you'd be a perfect 10 if you were with me."
"You're good at mathematics, right? Would you say 69 was a perfect square?"
"If beauty were time, you'd be eternity."
"Something tells me you're sweet. Can I have a sample?"
"Do you believe in love at first sight... or should I walk by you again?"
"Is it hot in here, or is it just you?"
"I don't dance. But I'd love to hold you while you do."
"There's so much to say but your eyes keep interrupting me."
"Clothes aren't sexy. Women are"
"Please be patient - this is my first time."
