The Amazing Wax Figure of Sir Karl Lagerfeld!

Which one is Wax Karl?

File this one under: What took them so long? Karl Lagerfeld’s likeness has graced everything from Diet Coke cans to tiny fragrance sponges, so it’s about time someone made a life-sized version of him that serves absolutely no purpose except allowing fans to stand there and admire it. Now there’s a dedicated place where you can do this.

That place is the Panoptikum museum in Hamburg, Germany. According to a press release, it took sculptor Saskia Ruth almost a year to create the Kaiser in all his waxy glory; she was particularly focused on his typical facial expression, his clothes and his hairstyle. The museum, which is 130 years old, unveiled the wax statue last week, so he’s there now for your viewing pleasure. We can only hope that Ruth is working on a wax Choupette to accompany Karl.
Do you think this is a prototype for a secret Karl Klone army?

How to show your "Alabama" school spirit...

I know buying t-shirts was never a spectator sport, so to speak.  Usually when a shopper wants to have some t-shirts they look for cut, length, color and embellishments.  Normally, this is a great way to celebrate summer and be treated like the person you want to become.  If it's a shopper's ultimate goal to remain in college and become a graduate, then, hopefully this type of person can grab up awesome t-shirts at a low-cost!  University of Alabama shirts, whether long-sleeve or short will do the trick!

They are the tell-tale sign of what is really hanging inside the heart and thoughts of any student involved in college activities!  Wanting simplicity in life is as easy as buying something that turns the heads and minds of others into what you dream to achieve!  Cotton t-shirts and button-down shirts are great tools to master this academic task for each student who shows "spirit" or "enthusiasm" over and over.  Alabama apparel is also good for the college "newbie" to get used to shopping online and ordering books and re-selling them to create a small income!

Just watching everyone become fixated with your goals because of buying the right t-shirt, is almost just like a "fashion" miracle!  I'll take one!

Owning my Own Business

Guest post from: Constance Rodgers

When I opened my own business last year, I thought I’d covered all my bases. I knew that if I was going to make the jump from corporate job to owning a boutique, I needed to do it right. I had all the proper insurance in place, I had the right people to staff the store, and I had the correct business licenses that I needed. All was well for a while, and I’d never been happier…until my store was broken in to. Virtually in an instant, the entire inventory I’d worked so hard to curate was gone. Of course my insurance covered the damages, but it was so psychologically damaging that I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get over it. I had spent countless hours picking out the perfect collection of things to showcase in my store, and all of it was gone in a flash. The only thing I could think over and over was that I should have listened to friends who advised I install a security system. Time has passed and I’ve gotten over the burglary for the most part, but I will not make the same mistake again. I called ADT security Services the day after the break-in and had a system installed immediately. Now I have the peace of mind I need to be able to keep running my business
