Paris Hilton. Lindsay Lohan. Marie Antoinette. Imelda Marcos. Fergie. Celine Dion. Eva Longoria. Mariah Carey. Paula Abdul. Sarah Jessica Parker. Victoria Beckham. Beyonce Knowles. Christina Aguilera. Keira Knightley.  

Sound familiar? Sure, they are famous for so many things but they have one thing in common. So what could an heiress, a queen, a former first lady, a singer and an actress have in common? Well, aside from being very rich and famous, they all are shoe aficionados and they admit to having hundreds to thousands of height increasing shoes. They are hailed to be the goddesses, queens and princesses of height increasing shoes for their massive collections that require floor to ceiling closet space. It has been said that to wear a pair of Lindsay’s height increasing shoes for one day at a time would take about 6 years. Victoria wants to stop collecting height increasing shoes just because she has run out of space for them. Neither Keira nor Beyonce can walk out of a shoe store without buying at least a pair. They are obsessed with height increasing shoes and admit that they are shoe addicts. Most of them collect high heeled height increasing shoes and they love wearing them despite the pain caused by these height increasing shoes.  

They are not alone in having a shoe collection, most women are said to have owned at least nineteen pairs of height increasing shoes at one point or another. Blame it on the effect of Sex and the City to the women of the world, the fashion designers, media or even genetics but women just can not help but buy a lot of height increasing shoes. There is no one perfect pair of height increasing shoes that will go with every single outfit that a lady owns and you just can’t go to every event in the same pair of heels. Then of course, you just have to buy that incredibly gorgeous pair of height increasing shoes that you have spotted and wanted for so long now.

So, why does a girl need to have at least twenty pairs of height increasing shoes in her closet? She needs them to complement her outfits, to look good in, to show off her individuality, for the added height, a boost in style, to fit in with the current trends, for something comfortable to walk in, for dancing, and so many other things. There are also some special events in life that deserve a brand new pair of height increasing shoes like weddings, the prom, going to a special date, a promotion and your birthday. Then every woman needs at least a pair of sneakers for going to the gym, jogging, some dancing and clubbing. She also needs a pair of flats that she can take wherever she goes just so she can change her height increasing shoes when her feet start to ache. Then, you just can not have too many heels. Boots are also a good addition to your collection.

So, guys, just stop asking why we have so many height increasing shoes. You won’t get a complex answer from any woman, no science to explain it with. It’s just a plain and simple answer. We need them.

The Wall Street Journal published an article about Trevor Kaufman and Nick Worth, co-founders of Schematic, a digital-branding agency responsible for Target.com and some Nike ads. Despite having a number of big-time clients, Mr. Kaufman doesn’t prefer the old-school uniform for chief executives. Lawyers, finance people, salesmen and bridegrooms are usually expected to arrive in crisp suits. But when you’re in the field of creative or high-tech businesses, a suit can be seen as old-fashioned and out-of-sync.

CEO casual is seen mostly on young people, but not wearing a suit doesn’t cut it anymore. Although for most professionals who are still living in the dark ages, drabby clothes and the traditional suit still rule the boardroom. For people working in the creative industry such as advertising, in marketing, music or the entertainment industry, it’s all about presenting a modern, creative message. Well, it makes sense knowing that you’d be working with people who are in charge of product rebranding and presenting something creatively.

“When people wear suits in the music business, it feels like they’re not insiders,” says Anni Sarah Lam, CEO of Parc Landon, a Houston-based music, sports and entertainment agency with clients including rapper 50 Cent and David Beckham.

Crisp jeans, modern blazers, trendy jackets and made-to-measure shirts are replacing the old suit. Actually, the power lies within the individual’s ability to decide what he/she wants to wear and that corporate dress codes don’t apply anymore.

Your dress code speaks volumes about how you work, and so does your office space. Get fun office accessories to suit that CEO casual style!

The current atmosphere in Dubai can best be described as uncertain. The real estate sector, once fueling the demand for people has been in the doldrums for the past several months, and some firms have hardly made any sales in the last quarter of 2009.

If one looks at the economy of the UAE at large, one can see that it is by and large driven by four sectors- oil, real estate, trading and banking. Hardly any manufacturing or producing activity takes place in the Emirates. With dwindling to non-existent supplies of oil, the bubble having burst on real estate, and the banking sector having tightened its grip on lending activity, there is only one direction in which the Dubai economy is headed and that is down. The present credit crunch has created a lack of demand from regular individuals as well as firms and commercial entities- even property developers.  It is leading to a self perpetuating crisis that will worsen if no attempts are made to correct it. Some customers are unable to secure a loan to buy property, as local lenders have slashed home financing from 90 percent to as little as 50 percent in recent months. Agents worry that the tightening lending conditions have caused a real downslide in the real estate market.

The real estate sector also feels that lack of proper and sufficient regulation by Dubai’s Real Estate Regulatory Agency and unclear information regarding new laws and procedures from Dubai’s Land Department will confuse any would-be buyers and sellers and make it generally more difficult to move business efforts. For instance, when people asked about the enforcement of the current ruling against sharing of villas, nobody came up with answers as to by which law this is prohibited.

Much to their dismay, buyers of Dubai property have learned that there are two factors to owning a property in Dubai that do not apply anywhere else in the world. One is the exorbitant purchase price and the other is the rapid escalation in maintenance fees. Clearly there needs to be more transparency and logic behind the rapid 80 to 100 percent escalation in maintenance fees for some projects. Nobody is going to stand for this for long and there is a strong rumor that the fees are going to strengthen other fledgling companies within the development group, which is really unacceptable.

In the light of all these factors, it is clear that the economy and the job scenario in Dubai are not going to recover very soon. In a recession like atmosphere, no sector of the economy is safe because the overall sentiments are down and the future outlook is negative. Ultimately user spending on everything but necessities declines, resulting in job cuts in some industries.

In the current scenario, one way out is that if the leaders of the economy revisit their plans and adapt their vision to the current happenings. The best plan would be one that is directed towards keeping the majority of the people happy, because it is their sentiments and their purchasing power that counts and would make the difference in reviving the economy. Notwithstanding the best high end international brands available in the malls, the majority of the people of Dubai (by this I mean migrant workers) earn between AED 5000 to AED 15000 at present and not AED 20,000 and above. With this majority spending again, volume of business will go up and so will profit margins. But when their sentiments are down because of job insecurity, high rents, irritability due to road conditions, and staying away from their loved ones as they can’t sustain families here – they would spend less.

The leaders of Dubai’s economy will have to focus on this income group and go beyond just talk if Dubai is truly to be revived again. There is more activity being noticed at job sites Abu Dhabi than job sites Dubai in terms of UAE job openings. Workers are now looking for job stability rather than size of earnings, even if they have to give up the relatively easier atmosphere of Dubai to work in more stringent conditions elsewhere in the UAE.

Sim Whatley is a veteran opinion leader especially on the issues concerned with people wanting to live and work in Dubai. Considered as one of the most read authors in Middle East the community portal of which he is founder CEO Dubizzle provides solution of every issue from Dubai real estate to considering the right job sites Dubai, choosing the right restaurant and meals, to buying real estate in Dubai.
