Celebrity Nip Slip Funny Pictures




All funny pictures exist to make us laugh and feel good. It’s such a relief to know that there are thousands of websites posting hilarious, droll, crazy or silly images. But the most popular and sought after by most of the people are the celeb pics, especially celebrity nip slip funny pictures.


Why are there so many funny stuff websites and what do they want from us? That’s easy: funny staff sites are the future of the entertainment of the internet. For instance, uvug.com clearly states on its home page that it is in the business of “the funniest videos, photos, ebay auctions, and any other weird stuff we find’. These sites have non-commercial purposes and what’s more the funny pictures and others alike are all for free. Sure, they have sponsors who place banners on their sites and it would be a courtesy from us seeing what they are all about. But for the rest, this is what webmasters of funny pictures sites would like from us: view, giggle, or burst into laughter… maybe find a good tip or two… download whatever we find interesting, humorous or worthy to be send to the others… then walk away in a good mood. That’s it!

Entertainment sites have many categories of funny stuff. So anyone can choose from funny pictures or videos with animals, babies or celebs, games, jokes, fights, deals or George Bush. If try to make a statistics, you’ll find that the most prosperous and abounding of all categories would be the one showing celebs pics. Why? Common, it’s not everyday you see a celebrity without makeup, smoking, eating with a big wide-open mouth or giving the finger. And what’s more, the entire masculine community in the universe and the Hollywood gossip would kill to have the hottest and up-to-the-minute celebrity nip slip funny pictures.

Celebrity nip slips are considered more or less accidentally revealed. Although the degree of intentionality with some of the celebs is to be argued. Since all the celebs, especially female celebs, are constantly chased by armies of paparazzi, it is quite normal after all for such innocent accidents to happen and be promptly put on tape. The more famous a celeb is, the more paparazzi and cameras are around her and the quicker the celebrity nip slip, when it happens, is broadcasted.

But why are paparazzi so crazy about shooting celebrity nip slips? Simply because nipples are “forbidden fruits” and that is what makes them so appealing and tempting. There is one thing that needs to be clarified though: nobody swarms for funny pictures showing male celebrity nip slips, because men shirtless pics are readily available anytime almost anywhere, while celebs women nips are not always willingly presented. One more reason for paparazzi to exist and do their job: taking funny pictures of celebrity nip slips on various places, such as beaches, red carpets or movie shooting places.

Some of the celebs are famous for their frequent nip slips. Take Lindsay Lohan for example! When it comes to celebrity nip slips, this young, artistically gifted and big tited actress rules! One occasional slip happen one night on the way to her car, while another “innocent” mishap occurred precisely during a televised show. These accidents granted miss Lohan the pool position in the celebrity nip slip competition and a lot of advertising. Naturally, we wonder: were they really accidents? Maybe at the beginning.

The Future Of Web Video Marketing

Give us a sense of the landscape out there right now. What percentage of your clients are producing videos for marketing on the web?

It seems that every marketing department of almost every company is clamoring to produce video for the web. At least 70% of the marketing videos we produce are are created to live online. Sometimes these videos are also intended for trade shows and company events, but we always recommend that our clients leverage their video for their website. Not all videos are web-friendly so sometime we re-edit them and produce new graphical elements that will play better for web distribution.

There are many advantages to web-based marketing. For one thing, distribution on the web is free, which is perhaps its biggest selling-point. Secondly, well produced web videos drive a lot of traffic which in turn build customers, brand loyalty and ultimately delivers sales. The fact that anyone and everyone can access a company's website at any time from anywhere makes it a powerful way to distribute videos, not only for marketing, but also for training and education.

Video on the web is huge right now and it's only going to get better and more popular in the coming years.

What is the ideal length of a web-based marketing video?

As web compression gets improves and the down-load times get faster, the ideal length of web videos is expanding. However, people still have a short attention span when it comes to viewing videos online. Viewers are now accustomed to watching short clips on YouTube which usually run under two-minutes. Also, when people are watching video on the web they are in a "surfing mode" and are looking for quick hits of entertainment and information. For that reason we advise our clients not to exceed three and a half minutes in length, ideally closer to two minutes.

Length also, depends on content. People have more patience for entertainment or educational material than for straight-forward marketing. With this in mind, it's necessary to keep web videos concise and highly engaging or you'll loose your audience. In short, the true limiting factor isn't the technology but attention spans.

Are there specific challenges that exist when producing and serving web
video?

Up until recently, one of the biggest challenges in producing video for the web was all of the many steps required to prepare it, transcode it, upload it, and test it. The compression software was difficult to comprehend and it was often difficult to know all of the variables in order to optimize the quality. That has all changed in the last year or so. The latest versions of Final Cut Pro and other NLE sytems have easy-to-use presets and YouTube employs server-side encoding software that will take just about anything you can upload and make it look decent. As a professional video company we of course are striving for better than that, As a professional video company we of course are striving for better than that, so we typically encode web videos to the industry-standard H.264 format with either Compressor or Adobe Media Encoder. Both produce great looking video with a relatively small file size.

What format do you shoot in for the web?

We produce everything we do in either 4K, 2K or 1920x1080p even if it's ultimately intended for the web. Depending on the job we shoot with either the Red One, our Panasonic 2P card-based Varicam, or if our client is on a tighter budget Sony EX1.

Why shoot in HD if it's just intended for the web which is going to be compressed?

There are several advantages to shooting in a higher resolution format even if it's overkill for the web. One reason is that it gives the editor the possibility to re-size the footage (crop in) without loosing a lot of image quality. Another value in shooting in a 4K, 2K or HD 1920x1080p is that you are future proofing your videos so that when web quality does catch up your videos are already in high quality HD. The other adantage is that you never know when you might need to repurpose that footage for a sale presentation on a larger screen.

What do you think is the future of video on the web?

I think we will see more interactive engagement such as clickable hot spots, 3d manipulation of images, synchronized web page events, sidebar video segments, which will extend the experience of web video viewing beyond the 16:9 frame and onto the web page that surrounds it.

We just produced a video for Adobe about a partnership between Adobe and Wired magazine and the future of electronic publishing. We were blown away by the experience of reading a magazine on the web. You can now have a magazine with embedded videos, web links, sound, and motion graphics all within an magazine article. The fact that you can access all of this from a ipad or other mobile devices makes this a technological development with real staying power.

Another great advantage of video on the Internet is the access to your market with more interesting and valuable analytics now available. As they become more and more sophisticated, we'll be able to tell even more about how groups of viewers react to a video segment, second by second, and relate those reactions to commercial calls to action, such as buying a product, signing up for a cause or casting a vote.

The Sony Kdl-46ex503 - A Review

It boasts of a spacious 46" display panel, capable of displaying pictures of up to 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. Its full HD feature makes it great for watching regular TV shows, movies and gaming. With the BRAVIA Engine 3 powering it, get ready to be blown away by impressive details, contrast and colors.

The trouble with most LCD televisions these days is the inability to get rid of motion blurs. However, the Motionflow innovation boasts of a staggering screen refresh rate of 100Hz. It displays as much as twice the number of frames other LCD TVs can deliver. Now, you can watch as much sports and action blockbusters as you like. Thanks to Sony's Motionflow, every moment remains razor-sharp.

The Sony KDL-46EX503 utilizes the BRAVIA Sync innovation. This means that you can control your entire home entertainment setup with a singular remote control. With no clutter of remote controls before you, you can focus more on what's on the screen. Speaking of home entertainment setup, this LCD TV comes with 4 HDMI inputs. There are 2 in the rear and 2 more on the sides. With such multiple HDMI ports, you can go ahead and connect up to 4 HD devices to the TV, much to your advantage.

Another advantage you get when this technological breakthrough graces your living room is you can enjoy true cinema experience at home. This is made possible by the 24p True Cinema technology. It mimics the way theaters play movies, at a rate of 24 frames per second. And that's not all which will complete your true cinema experience without stepping foot outside. Hidden speakers boast of S-Force Front Surround, which lets you enjoy the same effect digital surround sound speaker systems deliver.

In the future, analog signal will be completely replaced by digital signal. And this LCD television lets you enjoy that right now. What's more, you have free access to digital broadcast, even without signing up for anything. But accessibility to these broadcasts will depend on your region. The inbuilt Freeview TV digital tuner saves you from putting up with unsightly cables and set-top boxes.

When there's no TV show or DVD movie to watch, the KDL-46EX503 can playback other types of media formats. By simply inserting USB-enabled devices into an inbuilt USB port, you can access videos and music tracks. There's also the PhotoTV feature which lets you view your snapshots in high-definition splendor.

The Sony KDL-46EX503 carries an affordable price tag all right, but the money-saving benefit doesn't end there. It also has a line of eco features that allow for minimal electrical consumption. For example, activating the Ambient Sensor can dim the backlighting system if the room lighting is already bright. This way, the images become eye-friendlier. But more importantly, while entertaining yourself, you can be environment-friendlier too.

Only In Moderation

Some of the negative affects of television include:

Children who consistently spend more than 4 hours per day watching TV are much more likely to be overweight.

Kids who view violent events, such as a kidnapping or murder, are also more likely to believe that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them. Research also indicates that television consistently reinforces gender-role and racial stereotypes.

The first two year of a child’s life is a critical time for brain development. TV can get in the way of exploring, learning, and interacting with parents and others, which helps young children develop the skills they need to grow cognitively, physically, socially, and emotionally.

As mentioned earlier, television can have a positive impact if used in moderation:

Television can be a great educator as well an entertainer. For example, preschoolers can get help learning the alphabet on public television and grade-schoolers can learn about wildlife on nature shows. Parents can also watch the news with their children and use this time to talk about current events and help their children understand the difference between TV and reality.

It's better for parents to control the use of TV and to teach children that it's for occasional entertainment, not for constant escapism. Parents should be observant in their children’s activities; playing, exercising, reading, etc. They should also not hesitate in limiting time spend watching TV by children.

Here are some practical ways you can make TV-viewing more productive in your home:

Limit the number of TV-watching hours.

Stock the room in which you have your TV with plenty of other non-screen entertainment (books, kids' magazines, toys, puzzles, board games, etc.) to encourage your child to do something other than watch the tube.

Keep TVs out of your child's bedroom.

Turn the TV off during meals.

Don't allow your child to watch TV while doing homework.

Treat TV as a privilege that your child needs to earn - not a right to which he or she is entitled. Tell your child that TV-viewing is allowed only after chores and homework are completed.

Set a good example by limiting your own television viewing.

Check the TV listings and program reviews ahead of time for programs your family can watch together (i.e., developmentally appropriate and nonviolent programs that reinforce your family's values). Choose shows that foster interest and learning in hobbies and education (reading, science, etc.).

Preview programs before your child watches them.

Watch TV with your child. If you can't sit through the whole program, at least watch the first few minutes to assess the tone and appropriateness, then check in throughout the show.

Talk to your child about what he or she sees on TV and share your own beliefs and values. If something you don't approve of appears on the screen, you can turn off the TV, then use the opportunity to ask your child thought-provoking questions. You can use TV to explain confusing situations and express your feelings about difficult topics (sex, love, drugs, alcohol, smoking, work, behavior, family life). Teach your child to question and learn from what he or she views on TV.

Offer fun alternatives to television. If your child wants to watch TV, but you want him or her to turn off the tube, suggest that you and your child play a board game, start a game of hide and seek, play outside, read, work on crafts or hobbies, or listen and dance to music. The possibilities for fun without the tube are endless. So remember to use television as a treat and use it only in moderation. It will encourage your child to be more involved in other activities and you'll enjoy the extra quality time you have to spend with your child!

The Five Most Influential Figures Of Canada

The humanitarian advancements would have be undoubtedly the result of the work of Tommy Douglas, who I chose as the most influential Canadian of the 20th Century and Canada's peacekeeping identity should be credited to the father of UN's peacekeepers, Lester B. Pearson. Also, the bilingualism in Canada would not exist without the work of Pierre Trudeau, the science and eco-friendliness of Canadians is the effect of the effort of David Suzuki, and last, but not least, the identity of Canada as a nation in the world of sports can be defined through the accomplishments of Wayne Gretzky.

Tommy Douglas was born to a poor family and when he was young, he suffered a severe bone infection. This was treatable, but without the sufficient funds of the family, Tommy was not able to get it fixed and as a result, he was scheduled for a leg amputation. Even with such a dreadful fate on his hands, Tommy went to search for a better solution and by the slightest of chances; he met a doctor who was willing to do the surgery for free as long as his students could observe.

The story ended with Tommy keeping his leg and this was the story that inspired Tommy Douglas to take action. His dream was to allow every person to be able to receive health care, no matter the financial status and with this goal; he became the premier of Saskatchewan and offered the citizens of Saskatchewan Universal Healthcare. Even on top of that, he greatly contributed to the central banking, unemployment insurance, and old age pensions. I have included Tommy Douglas on this list because of the fact that one man, who did not become prime minister, added these components to this country was extraordinary. Not only that, the services that Tommy Douglas publicized are vital services that are much more efficient and cheaper when they are government controlled.

A central bank to control inflation and standardize interest rates, unemployment insurance to lower homelessness rates and poverty levels, old age pensions to insure good senior treatments and increase net income for those with senior parents to support, and finally universal health care to offer everyone equal healthcare and adding a bit of humanity to the otherwise lifeless government. With these changes, Canada has become a better nation that boasts excellent living conditions and proved by the Human Development Index. Universal health care is obviously better for the citizens than private health care and it was the courage and initiative taken by Tommy Douglas that made the change possible. Before Tommy Douglas came around, there weren't many significant differences between America and Canada and with those socialistic, yet beneficial touches to the government, Tommy Douglas changed the face of Canada for the better.

During the First World War, all the soldiers of both sides wanted a better solution than all the fighting and killing, an alternative that did not involve as much violence and pointless combat. However, they did not know that the Canadian medic, Lester B. Pearson, would later in his life convince the world and achieve such a goal. With a strong educational background, Lester B. Pearson could have done pretty much anything he wanted, but his dedication for change forced him to turn down many appealing jobs and take up politics.

When he finally became Prime Minister, he had a job to do: to spare his people from the dreadfulness of war and racism. With that mind set, he did not send Canadian troops to Vietnam and rid of the racist immigration laws especially against the Chinese and Jews. With his immigration policies, Pearson created the multicultural Canada that we live in today and opened Canada to many opportunities and prosperities due to them. However, the possibly most important deed that Pearson did was not on the national scale, but rather on the international scale.

When the Suez Crisis occurred, Pearson did not see the valid reason for all the violence and deaths resulted from the violence. As a result, he led the UN into creating peacekeepers to resolve the issue. The goal of peacekeepers wasn't to stop the war with force, but instead enforce peace treaties, create living conditions even with the presence of war and make sure human rights are carried out throughout the whole world. Introducing peace keepers allowed Canada to take initiative and become famous and second for intensive peace keeping everywhere.

The final deed which Pearson changed Canada was by changing the image that the world saw Canada with, its flag. With Canada having lost many of its original ties to Britain, the Union Jack on the Canadian flag was no longer appropriate. As a result, Pearson encouraged changed of the flag and in his second year in office, he made the change that gave Canada its own identity on the international scale. Nonetheless, Pearson was a great figure to Canada; he offered peace, equality in times of war and terror.

A sector that grows even in times of economic distress is the entertainment sector. Even when times are rough and people are short on money, entertainment never fails the people and the people never fail it. As a result, the famous people in this district turn out to be the most influential and celebrated people of the world.

The case of Wayne Gretzky was no different. Wayne grew up with hockey and by the age of 16, he was on his way to becoming the greatest hockey player in the world. When he reached the NHL, he was clearly the greatest and possibly the most talked about player in sports. With this status, Wayne Gretzky took the advantage and gave hockey and Canada a good name. His sportsmanship and kindness resulted in many good images of Canada and the sport of hockey and eventually he erased many biases on hockey players and the country itself. On top of all the change towards hockey, Gretzky set a good example of a model Canadian. For the first time, there was an internationally known person who was proud to be Canadian and gave Canada a good name. His game on and off the ice was his was of contributing to Canada and being such a great person, Gretzky succeeded in doing so. This example led many kids all over Canada to do the same and as a result there is a new wave of Canadian patriotism that was created by Gretzky.

The end of the 20th Century was the end of a great era for Canada. The ties that Canada had with Britain almost disappeared completely and Canada had taken many steps to become a fully independent and a self run country. With the help of Tommy Douglas, the Canadian structure of society and government gained the unique touches that it needed to become a better nation and with Pearson, Canada gained its own flag and a new identity in the international scale as peacekeepers. Pierre Trudeau gave Canada a new side to its identity, the French side, which has actually be around longer than the English side, David Suzuki gave Canada the scientific acknowledgement and the care for Canada as land, and Wayne Gretzky gave Canada the recognition in the world of sports and entertainment.

With all these great figures changing Canada for the good, this country was given the greatest make over from a simple British colony to an independent country that measured up or was better than the United States when it came to many levels. It could be said that the 20th century was a great start to Canada as a modern country and a better nation overall.

Successful Child Actors: Kirk And Candace Cameron

In her book appropriately named “A Full House of Growing Pains,” Barbara recounts her life as a typical Christian mother raising two not-so-typical children. It wasn’t an easy task attempting to guide her children through the pressures and insecurities of a Hollywood lifestyle, nor was it easy balancing a normal home (the Cameron’s have other siblings as well) with life in the limelight.

By the age of eighteen, Kirk was making $50k a week and had gained the admiration of thousands of young teens. His sister Candace, after her role on Full House, drew significant critical acclaim for taking on challenging dramatic roles in films like No One Would Tell.

In 1990, Kirk reaffirmed his faith after struggling internally to find himself for many years – a personal revelation that had a profound effect on him. While it initially caused some friction on the Growing Pains set, Kirk had the strength to remain true to himself. In 1991 he married costar Chelsea Noble. Today Kirk and Chelsea have six children and Kirk has partnered with Way of the Master Ministries. In addition, he has stared in the Left Behind movies and continues to take on acting roles.

Candace Cameron was introduced to NHL hockey player Valeri Bure by former co-star Dave Coulier and the two were married in 1996. They have three children and currently reside in Florida. Candace speaks at various churches, colleges and outreach events in addition to being involved in organizations like the Starlight Foundation, Make-A-Wish, Compassion International, Children’s Hunger Fund and Sheridan House Family Ministries.

Kirk and Candace will never forget their Hollywood roots, but their well-adjusted, successful and fulfilling adult lives are a true testament to the family-based upbringing their parents valued years ago. They continue to be walking examples of how a supportive upbringing and the development of personal esteem is invaluable in the lives of children growing up in the industry.



INTERVIEW WITH BARBARA CAMERON

On Getting Started in Entertainment

CIF: What were the early signs that your child was meant to be in the limelight?
BC: There were no early “signs” that our children were meant for this business. It was something that just happened. Another showbiz mother, and friend of mine, encouraged me for years to get the kids involved.

CIF: How did you find your first agent?
BC: We lived in the same apartment building as Adam Rich’s (“Eight Is Enough”) family. For years, Adam’s mother Fran encouraged me to get my children in the business saying that I should really take my kids in to see her agent, Iris Burton. I trusted Fran and her opinion. Finally, I agreed not thinking that anything would ever become of it. A few days later Iris Burton was our agent. Today, however, I would encourage parents to interview the agent just as much as the agent is interviewing them and their child. Find the one that you feel good about representing your child.

CIF: How many auditions did you go on before the first job?
BC: Kirk booked his first commercial after about the 6th audition. I don’t think it was more than a dozen before Candace booked her first commercial.

On Making it in Show Biz

CIF: What was your first big break?
BC: Though there was a progression of “big breaks” everyday, because small roles led to bigger roles, I guess Kirk’s would be “Growing Pains”. It was during the years of Growing Pains that Kirk became one of America’s teen stars and through this show, he became very popular. Candace’s break came from her role on a feature film, “Punchline” with Sally Field, John Goodman and Tom Hanks. It was during this film that the audition came in for “Full House”.

CIF: Any funny/interesting stories from when you were first getting started?
BC: One story that I can remember was an event at the Disney Studios. We were invited to attend and Kirk brought along a girl friend of his. They found a bicycle and rode tandem. There were paparazzi taking pictures of all the celebrities that attended. They spotted Kirk and followed him trying to capture a photo. Kirk was very good at dodging the media and did his best to find refuge. But the photographers were insistent and so his dad had an idea! They were able to find an abandoned building on the lot. It was there that they exchanged clothes, coat, and hat and “Kirk” (really his dad) rode off on the bicycle with Kirks friend. The paparazzi saw the two of them and yelled, “There he is!” Robert, disguised as Kirk, rode off, paparazzi’s chasing them, leaving Kirk free to escape into the crowd. It was a fun idea for awhile, but the photographers eventually got smart and realized that they were “had”.

On Education

CIF: How did you school your children?
BC: During Kirk’s high school years, we were able to have him attend his school for a class or two before filming (on set he had a studio teacher). This would give him the opportunity to stay connected with his classmates at his regular school. He graduated with his class with high honors. Candace was tutored on the set for a number of years and when she entered high school, we enrolled her in a private school so that she could develop a social life outside the studio. She missed being among her peers and there were a few kids at her regular school that were making it difficult for her to attend there on a regular basis. Being able to attend this school was wonderful, and helped her connect with friends that she still has today!

Tips On Finding The Right Wedding Venue

Weddings are usually made up of two parts- the wedding ceremony and the reception. Church weddings are still a favorite among couples. If you have already agreed on a specific church for the ceremony, make sure you choose a reception venue close to the church location. It will be easier for you and your guests to transfer from the service to the reception when they are minutes apart from each other.

If on the other hand, you have decided on outdoor weddings (beach/garden weddings), you can have the ceremony and reception in just a certain venue. This is much more cost effective since you only have to decorate one venue for the entire day. It is also much more convenient for the guests since it omits the hassle of travelling from one location to another.

Wedding Venue Budget

It would be wise to keep your wedding dreams in line with your finances. If you live in the city, take advantage of the nice venues that your place has to offer. You really don’t have to seek castles and beaches if you’re on a tight budget. This will help spare you from a lot of arguments and debts after marriage.

Number of Guests

Your wedding would also depend on how big you want it to be. Planning all your wedding guest list can be an exciting and at the same time tiring task. Here are some factors that you need to consider:

* • Venue capacity. Before you even start looking at possible venues, be sure to have a good estimate on the number of people on your guest list. This will probably include family, friends, workmates, entertainers, & etc.
* • Standing or seated reception. Formal dining would obviously require more space compared to a stand up buffet. A venue with a seating capacity of 100 may accommodate 200 people for a canapรฉ reception.
* • Entertainment. Bands and other entertainment facilities (e.g. dance floor) may need a large amount of space. Decide on a spot where you want entertainment to take place and examine the available space in the venue as well.

The Mill Pond Country Club is an awesome Long Island banquet facility for your wedding day. This premiere Long Island wedding venue offers scenic view of lush greens and verdant hills. The place is indeed among New York’s top wedding reception venues.

The Sony Ericsson satio have not yet been revealed, however it is expected to hit the shops towards the end of 2009. Now we come to the other 12 megapixel mobile phone - the Samsung Pixon 12. This camera phone has a 28mm lens, touch-autofocus, auto-panarama, image stabilisation, smile detection, blink detection, xenon flash, power LED flash and more. It has a smart-auto mode, which automatically selects the correct mode based on the subject placed in front of the camera. Another cool feature is autofocus tracking, touch a person or an object on the viewfinder and the Pixon12 will track them and keep them in focus as they move. There’s a dedicated camera button and the Pixon12 can record high resolution video at 30 frames per second. The Samsung Pixon12 is a 3G phone with HSDPA support. It has a GPS receiver for geotagging photos and now includes Wi-Fi. The 3.1 inch touchscreen uses Samsung’s TouchWiz interface, sensitivity is good and the screen provides haptic feedback. The good news about the Samung Pixon 12 is that it is already available on the market so has a jump start on the Sony Ericsson Satio.

Direct TV is the nation’s leading provider of high-definition channels bringing subscribers a total of 95 HD channels and over 260 channels all together. Dish Network, their leading satellite TV competitor, lags behind with just over 70 high-def channels. Cable companies bring approximately 50 HD channels to customers.

These delightful commercials focus on the high-def market and a make believe cable company. Each commercial joins the fictitious cable company boardroom for Cable Corp Inc. Christopher Guest, Jonathan Michael Higgins, and Ed Begley Jr. star in the Direct TV commercials. The tag line is “You deserve better than cable.”

In one commercial Roman the VP, played by Jonathan Michael Higgins, suggests that the Cable Corp Inc. advertise that they have a thousand HD channels in order to the subscriber base moving to Direct TV HD. In another commercial they board targets the Direct TV Sports HD market. Roman turns on some music and suggests bikini installers between 10 and 2 while three girls in red bikinis dance in the boardroom. The board of directors look mortified at the thought. These commercials all end in “You deserve better than cable.”

The geniuses behind these entertaining commercials did a fabulous job of showing the desperation of the cable company now that Direct TV has been taking their customers away. Statistics have shown that more cable subscribers are moving over to the satellite TV leader. From September of 2006 to September of 2007 the top ten cable TV companies combined did not have more subscribers than Direct TV.

Many people across the country have been remarking on their incredible customer service experiences with Direct TV. This is a marketing point in a few of the new Direct TV commercials. The commercials showcase the American Customer Satisfaction Index done by the University of Michigan Business School that reports their customer satisfaction rating has been higher than cable for seven years.

Another fine point of the commercials is the number of sports programming in high-def. Sports programming is a huge selling point for satellite television. Many sports fans across the country are enjoying their favorite sports team by selecting these sports subscriptions allowing them to see virtually every game regardless of where in the country they reside.

Direct TV and Dish Network both carry sports subscriptions including MLB Extra Innings, NHL Center Ice, MLS Direct Kick and NBA League Pass. Only Direct TV carries NFL and NASCAR content. They are the exclusive providers bringing the NFL Sunday Ticket and NASCAR HotPass to their sports offerings. In addition they offer rugby, college basketball including March Madness, golf, and cricket.

The satellite leader not only has the biggest lineup of sports subscriptions but they are the leading provider of sports programming in high-def. HD junkies are turning their noses up at standard definition. The adrenaline pumps more furiously when they are watching a game in stunning high-definition. Each drop of sweat, blade of grass, and more are seen in tremendous clarity giving the illusion of being on the field with all their sports heroes.

Although the product, customer service, and offerings speak for themselves these commercials make a lasting impression on viewers as they discuss the highlights around the water cooler.

How To Get Sponsors For An Event

Major retailer/drug store chain

Create credibility for your event by involving a major brand
Create more distribution points for materials
Leverage relationships with retailers to bring in major brands as vendors

Local car dealership

Garner access to courtesy vehicles
Offer sponsored prizes/drawings
Cost-Reducing Sponsorships

Barter partner

Alleviate a traditional expense, such as food, beverage, or even legal advice in exchange for sponsorship exposure

Municipality or Community Association

Access discounted rates traditionally given to non-profit or government organisations


Cash Sponsorships
Traditional sponsorships, such as a title sponsor

Cover expenses
Increase exposure of both the sponsor and your event
Create event credibility
Customise offerings – packages rarely succeed
Note: cash sponsorships tend to require a longer sales cycle (at least six months) because actual budgets are involved


SPONSORSHIP STATISTICS
According to recent IEG studies, there are a number of reasons why companies sponsor, as well as number of benefits they expect as a result of their sponsorship.
Why do companies sponsor?

To increase brand loyalty
Create awareness/visibility
Change/reinforce image
Drive retailer/dealer traffic
Stimulate sales/trials/usage
Community/corporate responsibility
Platform for experiential branding
Sample/display products/services

What do sponsors want and expect from events?

Category exclusivity
Onsite signage
ID in property’s media buy
Access to mailing list/database
Broadcast ad opportunities
ID in property collateral
Presence on property’s Website
Participation in retailer promotion
Ad in program book

Remember, there are billions spent annually on event sponsorships, so there is never a bad time to solicit sponsors. Your challenge is applying these statistics and tactics to create unmatched value for companies.

Part II: Determining and Selling Sponsorship Value
BUILD THE PROPERTY
The value of sponsorships is often compared to the value of traditional media buys, such as a print advertisement or commercial. To build the value of your property (your race) you must first take inventory. Examine the “Four P’s”, or the different categories of assets:
1. Participants. Can you attract more participants or are you limited by space or other requirements?
2. Promotions. How will your event be promoted? What type of collateral will you be producing? Will you have a Website?
3. Partners. Will you partner with local sports clubs for peer-to-peer marketing? Is your charitable beneficiary highly desirable?
4. Parameters. What limits will you put on the event sponsorships? What’s negotiable and what’s not? What are the possibilities for sponsors?

DETERMINE YOUR VALUE
Sell value, not costs. Focusing on costs hinders the actual revenue potential of your event. Think like a marketer, know your assets, and be prepared to explain how your sponsorship offering will help the company achieve its goals.
Concrete Assets

Media Value: placements, coverage, on-site impressions, collateral, Website
On-site Activities: sampling, one-to-one marketing, VIP entertainment, expo booths
Lead Generation: mail and email lists, promotional opt-ins

Intangible Assets

Desirability & Prestige: event recognition, popularity in market, exclusivity, market impact, growth opportunities
Comparables: other events, media in market, standard advertising costs
Activation Opportunities: retail tie-ins, sales promotions, hospitality discounts


SPONSORSHIP PROPOSITION
Guidelines, Not Packages: have a plan for relative benefits and number of sponsors, but focus on the consultative process (after all, who really wants to be known as “bronze”?) Asset Allocation: title sponsors, major sponsors, suppliers, expo exhibitors, etc.

SPONSORSHIP TARGETS
Do your homework: local sponsors, competitors of local sponsors, national companies with local interests, local advertisers Network: talk up your event, seek referrals, attend other events, join associations and trade groups

SALES APPROACH
Be a problem-solver and know that your property will deliver tangible benefits to your sponsors. Be upbeat, confident and process-driven. Believe in what you’re selling.

Evaluate all of the benefits of your property, put together a game plan, network and start selling. For cash sponsorships, start reaching out to companies at least six months in advance. And remember, don’t sell sponsorship packages. Rather, understand what certain companies need and want, then create a customised solution that benefits the sponsor, your event and your participants. Project and anticipate what’s in it for the sponsoring company before making the sale; then follow through to ensure the company sees the benefits.

It all started when a close family friend of Alaine-Marshall called him to talk about her experiences as a reality TV show contestant. At the time, his friend was a contestant on a major reality TV show. She begged for Alaine-Marshall to listen to her story, and as he heard it unfold, he couldn’t help but feel convinced that it was necessary to get the story out there. What he discovered is that reality TV shows are based on an ugly system of bullying, just as what you find happening at school playgrounds.

Bullying and Its Role in Reality TV

Teen bullying is a major problem in schools around the world, and reality TV shows only serve to reinforce this behavior. Alaine-Marshall reveals through his captivating, whistle blowing work that reality TV shows like Indian Idol are built on a franchise of nastiness. Those who are more powerful tease people who are weaker than them by making malicious remarks and threats. Reality Tvshows are based on cruelty, which they serve up as a form of family entertainment.

The effects of bullying on a child can be quite severe. Children become withdrawn, anxious, depressed, and distrustful as a result of being teased. However, bullying will only continue to get worse since the behavior is accepted, if not encouraged, on mainstream television through reality TV. Children love to watch reality TV shows, so the impact that a show like Indian Idol can have on the youth is severe.

Why Read Uberstar?

In รœberstar, Alaine-Marshall reveals the dirty truth behind reality TV, and for you to learn how you can change the situation and stop this madness from airing on TV, you have to read the book. รœberstar is a page turner. It’s the kind of book you could pick up and read in one or two sittings. You’ll learn how the entire reality TV show system is built and who is controlling it. From the publicists to the executive producers, you’ll see who is behind this multi-million dollar entertainment model that keeps youngsters and adults alike glued to the screen day in, day out.

Despite its name, reality TV is far from reality. However, if we continue to watch these shows and let our children continue watching them, the ugly occurrences that take place on reality TV shows will eventually become a fact of everyday life. Reality TV has done plenty of damage to society as is, and the only we can stop it is if we understand how it works and the psychological reasons behind its popularity. All of this and much more is revealed in รœberstar, Alaine-Marshall’s groundbreaking novel.

Initially, Alaine-Marshall wanted nothing to do with his friend’s story but since she begged him to listen to what she had to say, he sat down and heard it all. He was astounded by what he heard, and after he spoke with his friend, several other contestants and insiders came out to speak to him. Some of the people Alaine-Marshall spoke include very powerful executives in the entertainment industry, contestants, and publicists. It’s as if these people realize what they are involved in is very wrong, but are having a hard time getting out of the system. After all, it’s a system based on money, and the taunting, teasing, and bullying that takes place on stage and behind the scenes of reality TV shows sells. Sickly enough, many people seem to enjoy watching others suffer.

Who is Vaughn Alaine-Marshall?

Vaughn Alaine-Marshall was a successful chiropractor, and put his career on hold for four and a half years in order to be able to get his story out to the public. Alaine-Marshall truly cares about making our society a better place. That’s why he feels the urge to share this important story and put a stop to the suffering that happens in front of the camera and behind the stage on reality TV. Everyone including the judges humiliating contestants on the screen, the publicists fishing for a good story, and the contestants who are hungry for their big break, is involved in the mess that has become reality TV. It’s gotten so bad that a former reality TV contestant, Richard Heene, lied to law enforcement and said that his child was in a hot air balloon so he could garner publicity and extend his fifteen minutes of fame on reality TV.

If you want to know the truth behind reality TV and learn about what goes on behind the scenes of reality TV sets, look no further than Uberstar. For each copy of Uberstar sold in India, Alaine-Marshall will donate $1 to Asha for Education, an Indian non-profit with the mission of providing education to underprivileged children in India.

Burlesque Costumes - A Brief History

Origins of burlesque - lingerie on show!

The word burlesque probably derives from the French, which describes a piece of slightly outrageous, humorous art. The term burlesque originally applied to shows intended for middle or lower classes. Such shows lampooned upper class niceties and parodying upper class entertainments like opera & dance. Such music and comedy shows and plays grew in popularity on both sides of the Atlantic during the nineteenth century. In Victorian England, where even "a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking", burlesque challenged its audience by offering rather more than a "glimpse of stocking" - the lure of young ladies appearing in tights and lingerie! Certainly demure by today's standards these slightly suggestive interludes certainly boosted the popularity of burlesque. Lydia Thompson took a burlesque troupe, called the British Blondes to New York near the end of the 1860s where they were an immediate hit. At first they were feted by the press, but before long strident voices, from the pulpit and the papers were complaining of loose morals and indecency. The result of all this adverse publicity was to spread the word about burlesque far and wide in America effectively having the reverse effect to that desired by burlesque's critics - female burlesque troupes with close copies of the original British act sprung up around the country.

These shows owed a great deal of their structure to the minstrel shows of the time and generally consisted of three parts - the initial section featuring the ladies, the middle section was a mix of male comedians and specialty acts and the final part the grand finale. Copying Lydia Thompson's lead, most of the troupes had female managers. However towards the end of the nineteenth century, as male managers took over, they switched the emphasis away from comedy to push boundaries, determined to show as much uncovered female flesh as the laws would allow.

This form of entertainment metamorphosed in the early twentieth century into a mix of music hall, satire and striptease. During the twenties the bias continued inexorably towards striptease and away from the accompanying elements. This shift doubtlessly was burlesque's downfall; by the thirties the popularity of burlesque dropped away probably reacting against what had become slightly tawdry striptease shows. Local authorities were no longer as tolerant of this entertainment, which had lost much of its music hall variety flavor.

New Burlesque

In the mid nineteen nineties the genre was resurrected, with troupes in the USA, and the trend has snowballed over to the UK. Now, once more on both sides of the channel, it is possible to see shows equal in glamour, bawdiness and variety to equal the art form in its heyday in clubs and theatres in major cities. Arguably the Internet has played a major part to spread the interest in the genre. There are websites, such as Ministry of Burlesque dedicated to promoting it, to teaching dance, makeup and fashion.

Burlesque lingerie fashion

The mainstay of this style is lingerie and modern burlesque generally concentrates on the fifties and to a lesser degree the forties look. This extends not only to clothing, but hats, footwear and makeup too. There have always been fans of fifties silk and nylon stockings. The majority stocking mills closed up shop when pantyhose all but killed the stocking market. Their huge stocking machines were destroyed and along with it the expertise to manufacture fully-fashioned stockings. Now the rare machines remaining are being rebuilt and returned to service to again produce faux fifties seamed stockings. However a few companies trading online still have limited supplies of the original fifties stockings so the purists can satisfy their need to the 'real thing' rather than the modern copies. Sadly, once that depleting stock is exhausted, they will only be viewable in museums and private collections.

However, for burlesque stage performance it is the fishnet tights or pantyhose that are still really popular.

Companies are making exact copies both of retro costumes and burlesque accessories, from ostrich feather fans to bullet bras. Lingerie companies, sensing an opportunity not to be missed, are enticing well-known burlesque artists to lend their names and expertise to burlesque-inspired lingerie designs.

Burlesque is eagerly embraced by all physiques, from plus size to skinny-minny, proving how empowering it can be to women - all physiques are equally welcomed, but there is not set 'burlesque costume' either. It is very common for burlesque artists to take everyday lingerie, adapt it by sewing on sequins to devise their own unique take on burlesque. However the common thread that runs through the new outfits, going right back to the earliest days of the art form is the element of 'tease', the showing of rather more lingerie and stocking tops that would normally be seen in everyday life.

Rockabilly fashion

Over the years a number of fashion styles have grown towards each other, oft times overlapping. The word rockabilly was used around the mid forties and was a blend of hillbilly and rock and roll music styles. Todays pinup photographers generally recreate the stylish fifties imagery which overlaps but is distinct from rockabilly. Many rockabilly enthusiasts have tattoos and piercings, and that certainly was never a fad of the fifties, but a modern phenomenon.

Pinup fashion

The term pinup also has blurred origins, covering photos of movie stars from around the thirties and forties, but also the airbrushed fantasy women gracing men's magazines by such exponents as Petty and Elvgren. The fashions often featured nylons and lingerie, sometimes being exposed by a sudden unexpected gust of wind or other 'mishap' that befell the model. The intention was actually to reveal very very little by today's standards. It is a certainty that pinup art, with the sexy lingerie has strongly influenced the outfits adopted by many of today's burlesque artists.
