How do you plan to spend the next new year??

This new year has finally arrived and I hope that all of you did have a fantastic time partying away the last year.Anyway this is the advisory for last year and since it is still relevant this year as well, not just for the new year, but for all activities and parties, please do read on!

The time to celebrate the New year is almost on us and it is that time of the year when we all tend to go a bit crazy. That may be fine, for those of us who are single or without children. But for those of us who do have children, the way to ring in the new year is to do it safely and without much alcohol as possible. I can never understand why one needs to drink alcohol at a party, since alcohol tends to cause a person to feel a bit depressed and drowsy after some time, why bother drinking it all.

I can very easily imagine the chorus of voices shouting out, 'what, a party without drinks? you must be mad'. If at all, you need to drink in order to celebrate the arrival of the new year, then try and do it responsibly and most importantly, do not drink and drive.

For those of us who have children, it is better to think of our children first and party later. There are some of us who tag our kids with us to these parties, just remember that it is way past their bed time and that the atmosphere at a party is not the right atmosphere for any kid, with all that smoke and smell of booze floating around.
There are places that one can take ones kids with them to celebrate the new year, you can take them with you to the Elliots beach, of course there will be a crowd, but there are also huge sections of the beach that will be empty.

And come New year, there will be a fireworks display and the kids will love that. So for dinner, you can go to the Beach castle restaurant on the Elliots beach and have dinner, then from the terrace of the restaurant or the beach itself enjoy the fireworks display with your kids!

Fashion is all about showing off your undies or the fact that you have none on!

Fashion is all about how much you can pull off, that is like the case of the "Emperor's new clothes". These days high fashion means that you have to wear your pants low and have your butts hang out literally showing off your under wear to each and every one on the street. I really cannot see any logic in hanging out our butts so that everyone can see whether I am wearing Calvin Klein or not. What a weird fashion statement to make- hang your butts out and let everyone and anyone see it. one could say that as a result of this insipid fashion statement, more butts were seen in public than anywhere and if you do not have your butts hanging out of your jeans in the public, the police may actually charge you for wrongful confinement of ones butt. In short as a result of this fantastic idea, all butts are now public property.
It seems that asinine fashion statements did not just end with that. Thanks to Brittney spears, now most of the women are expected to go without their inner wear. I have always thought that Paris Hilton was a bit off balance so as to speak but to actually go out without wearing anything there,is just disgusting. I know that those two, Paris Hilton and Brittney spears probably are very proud of their butts and do not mind showing it off to everyone but a butt is just a butt. There is nothing much special about the Paris Hilton butt except for the fact that it would probably go off to sleep most of the time. As for the Brittney spears butt, the only thing special about them are the fact that they look a bit fatter. As such these are the new public attractions so have your camera ready, you never know when you may run into the 'mooning' faces of brittney and paris!
