Brad Pitt & Rolex: There is no question thatsuperstar actor Brad Pitt loves Rolex watches. He wears them Jimmy Choo Bags Replica in his movies,like the Ocean Trilogy and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and he wears Rolex watches inhis private life. Brad Pitt, however, has a sexy secret, and it has nothingto do with Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Aniston. For several years, Brad Pittappeared in Rolex Advertisements in Japan for the luxury goods company,Evance. These print and video spots, splashed across billboards andconstantly running on television in the Japanese market, are nothing likehis American and European fans have ever seen before. Showing Brad Pittlying in bed half-naked, gazing at his Rolex Explorer like a satisfiedlover, the Rolex advertisements quite simply would blow his adoring femalefans away. In the print ads, Pitt looks like a rugged playboy as he lies inbed, wearing only his Rolex Daytona. With the opening of “The Curious Case of BenjaminButton” on Christmas day and his nomination for several top acting awards(still waiting on the Oscar nods in January), Pitt wants nothing more thanto be taken seriously as an actor. And Brad Pitt is a serious actor, buthis advertising work for Rolex reveals the inherent sex symbol lingeringwithin.

Brad Pitt and Rolex watches intimately have been connected with each otherfor many years. The actor particularly has been known to be close, on botha professional and private level, with the Rolex Daytona. Commenting on therarity of these ultra-popular Rolex watches, a South African newspaper pointed out:”Annual production of Rolexes is limited to an estimated 750,000 watches.The waiting list for the stainless steel Daytona runs up to five years.Demand for the prestigious Swiss timepieces — with the crown imprimatur –always exceeded the supply. Rolex cachet is such that during World War II,a German mountaineer pursued by British soldiers in India partiallyfinanced his escape by selling his watch to a remote Himalayan villager.That story is told in the Sony Pictures movie ‘Seven Years in Tibet,’starring Brad Pitt.”

Beyond this professional connection, Brad Pitt has been seen Oris Replica Watch wearing a Rolex Daytonain his private life and recently he sold one of his Daytonas online. On amajor online auction site, the following posting ran with an embedded linkin the article that revealed a picture of Brad Pitt: “The steel Daytonaneeds no introduction; if you are viewing this piece you know what you arelooking for. This 2004-2005 piece is in pristine condition, featuring thewhite dial. We purchased this timepiece from a large Hollywood dealer whosupplies watches to the top movie stars. While confidential in nature, itdoes come with the Rolex paperwork indicating the identity of such owner.These stars trade their watches in often for brand new models (why put itin your closet when you can just get a new one, right?)”

Brad Pitt is a huge movie star and a talented actor with a private lifeplagued by the paparazzi, particularly given his marriage to fellowsuperstar Angelina Jolie. Nothing is bigger in the Western popular culturebubble than Brangelina. Beyond this given reality, Brad Pitt is not only amajor Rolex watch owner, but he sold the watches as a pitchman in Japan.And those advertisements reveal a truly sexy secret: the dashing and ruggedBrad Pitt that every woman in this country has been longing to see.

Lady Gaga Chooses Custom-Made Armani for GMA Performance

On Friday morning, pop juggernaut Lady Gaga performed a brief but rousing gig on the Today Show, braving the rain at NYC’s Rockefeller center in not one, but two custom-made Giorgio Armani performance ensembles.

Gaga took to the stage in an elaborate white getup that could’ve easily been a vintage Madonna look: a crystal-studded white suit work with a sparkling cross-embellished bra. Gaga accessorized with a relatively demure feathery headdress mulberry handbags .

She then made a sexy switch into a revealing black jumpsuit. Roomy, wide-fit pant legs made it easy for Gaga to bust a move, but she bared plenty of skin by wearing the plunging piece over a lacy black bra Leather Handbags.

In the commercial world, a brand can be a name or a symbol. BMW, Coca-Cola, Toyota, Sony, Disney, Nike, Mercedes-Benz, Hero Honda, Rolex, Perrier, Hilton, Microsoft, Nokia, The Economist and scores of other brands are household names all over the world. Nike now only employs its tick mark as a brand–but everybody knows what it stands for.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

The main aim of branding is to provide a distinct identity for the product. Often the brand name also describes the function of the product–such as Super Glue or Land Rover–but this is not as important as creating a powerful image that is easily recognisable and which in some way encompasses the ethos of the product or the umbrella company. Microsoft’s coloured Windows symbol is a perfect example of this. In a different way, Apple’s symbol of the fruit with a bite taken out is on the opposite end of the scale but it is equally distinct and instantly recognisable.

Each of the brands mentioned above stands out from the crowd. The brand promises something special in the product or service it offers. It is a guarantee of a certain quality or satisfaction. When you buy a brand, you know what to expect and therefore you are prepared to pay more for that product than for its competitors.

But a brand lives or dies on its ability to fulfil the promise inherent in its branding. If the BMW car is not the ‘ultimate driving machine’ as promised by the company’s advertising, the disappointment so generated will lead to a devaluation of the brand. Trust will have been forsaken and the Fake Ulysse Nardin entire BMW brand–including all its different models–will suffer.

So branding and the promotion of the brand on its own will not deliver the added competitiveness and market share its owners will have hoped for. The brand must deliver what it promises.

Africa gets on the branding bandwagon

Further in this issue, we publish a story on Patek Philippe Watch Replica Kenya’s decision to brand its top-quality coffee. Ethiopia did the same thing a few years ago and branded its exclusive, high-quality coffee from different provinces. Before this, Ethiopian coffee was unbranded and it was sold to wholesalers at rock-bottom prices. The coffee was then blended with other coffees from Brazil and resold retail as branded products fetching better prices. The branded Ethiopian coffee now sells in the ‘gourmet’ section and commands high value.

Many African companies, particularly banks and airlines, but increasingly also manufacturers and food producers, are taking branding seriously and are employing professionals to brand their products.

Some confuse branding with advertising. Branding is creating a clear, often simple and memorable image–often accompanied by a slogan–that stands for everything the product or service offers. Advertising is selling the brand or individual products of the brand. Advertising enhances the brand, draws public attention to it and via repeated exposure, establishes it firmly in the minds of consumers. But if the form of the advertisement or the medium in which it is displayed is not appropriate to the brand, the effect could well be negative. A television spot showing playful puppets messing around in a car is appropriate for a low-cost runaround city vehicle because the emphasis is on youth and fun–but it would bomb if the same approach were used to advertise, say, a Mercedes-Benz or a Lexus.

Nike takes a two-pronged approach in advertising its brand–on the one hand, it appeals to everybody at all age groups with the slogan ‘Just do it’; on the other hand, it emphasises the excellence of its product by paying the world’s top sportsmen and women to display its logo.

The Economist, on the other hand, makes it clear that the magazine is not for everybody. It aims at those who are better educated and of an analytic frame of mind, i.e. the elite. The Economist brand then leverages its host of other activities, including other publications and conferences, on the perception it has created of excellence in journalism.

Its advertisements do not appear in mass media outlets but they do appear Louis Vuitton Bags on billboards because all classes of people are likely to see them. Thus as a result of branding and clever advertising, the general perception is that anyone who reads The Economist is above average. Coming to Africa, we see massive advertising campaigns for telecoms products and services–MTN, Zain, Safaricom and so on, as these are aimed at the mass market. Branding in this case, where competition is intense, is crucial and the wrong approach, or the failure to live up to expectations, can prove fatal.

But when the branding (which includes comparative cost, ease of availability and dependability) is married to the appropriate advertising (for example, advertisments for more expensive mobile models tend to appear in up-market media), the results can, and have been, spectacular fake louis vuitton wallets.

But the majority of African companies are still at a fairly basic level of branding and very few have managed to export their brands to other countries in Africa or abroad. The exceptions are banks such as Standard Chartered and Ecobank, telecoms companies, fast food chains like Mr Big and Nando’s and brews such as Castle and Tusker. South Africa is one of the very few African countries to have succeeded in promoting its branded wines virtually throughout the world LV wallets.

SHILLONG: The walls wear a scrubbed look courtesy the Election Commission that prohibits “painted” publicity, but, this has not taken away the colour from campaigning in Meghalaya in the run up to the March 3 assembly elections – not when there are candidates in the fray with names like Frankenstein Momin, Adolf Hitler, Romeo and Billykid A Sangma.

His name might revive memories of fear in a darkened theatre but Mendipathar Congress candidate, Frankenstein Momin, is anything but scary. He’s amiable as Caspar, the friendly ghost, and is out to wrestle back his seat from United Democratic Party (UDP) legislator, B G Momin.

Then, in an apparent bid to woo the young voters, the BJP has put up Romeo Phira Rani from the prestigious Laitumkhrah constituency.

Zenith M Sangma, if only he had lived up to his name, would not have lost to Congress candidate in 2003. But, Rangsakona NCP candidate, Adolf Lu Hitler R Marak, can certainly be expected to reclaim his lost territory from Zenith, the brother of deputy CM, Mukul Sangma.

And who is the fastest draw in the East? No prizes for guessing – it’s the sitting Tura legislator and independent cCartier Watchesandidate Billykid A Sangma. He may be unable to bite the bullet, but he sure knows how to wage war of the ballot having picked on local folk hero and NCP boss Purno A Sangma. Says Billykid: “If Purno is a giant, I am a giant killer.”

So how come the people here have such names? Well, the locals here have an overwhelming fascination for anything Western and have grown on a staple of an easy mix of pulp fiction and classics.

Congress rebel candidate from Nongkrem is the improbable sounding Hispreachering Son Shylla. After losing in 2003, Hispreachering took to preaching for about a year before he announced that he wanted to serve the people and contest in the district council elections.

Another veteran, who is yet to give up on hope, is Nongstoin legislator and Hills State People’s Democratic Party (HSPDP) chief, Hopingstone Lyngdoh. Championing the cause of not one, but two separate states – Khasi and Jaintia – that have only two MLAs, Hopingstone might be hoping against hope LV wallets.

And was former minister and Congress legislator Friday Lyngdoh born on a Friday? And will Nongbah-Wahiajer candidate, Darling Wavel Lamare, turn into a darling of the masses and come up trumps against Edmund Speakerson? Also in the running are LJP’s Sevenson Dhar, NCP’clip in hair extensionss Moonlight Pariat, and Hilarious Pohchen (Nongkrem). But the one who might have his cake and eat it too is Clever Marak baby diaper bags.

Kate Spade Heddy Small Floral Print Cosmetic Bag

As I have found out with age, many men actually prefer women without makeup on. Yea, that芒鈧劉s no lie. But to most of us women, it is part of our daily routine. I remember my cycle with makeup. It began around 6th grade with a lip gloss obsession. I’m talking juicy lips that probably attracted flies like a sticky pad. I moved on in 7th grade to some eye shadow. But it was barely noticeable. Around 8th grade, things went terribly downhill with my thought that dark makeup made me look older. Yet with time and experience, I learned how to apply makeup and not look like a 5 cent hooker. But where to keep all the makeup? Why not in a fun Kate Spade Heddy Small Floral Print Cosmetic Bag? Made with the fun color wheel of green, pink, chocolate, lime, cream, khaki, peach, and black, the floral print bag is colorful and fun monogram bags.

Jennifer Lopez Facing $40 Million Lawsuit After Concert Cancellation

Jennifer Lopez could be facing a $40 million lawsuit after canceling a planned concert in northern Cyprus. Lopez was booked to perform on July 24 at the Cratos Premium hotel and casino complex but she has decided not to go through with the show for “political” reasons. Lopez, Marc Anthony and their two children were due to stay at the hotel replica prada handbags .

The booking outraged Greek Cypriots in the southern part of the island nation because they felt that performing in the north would be making a political statement in support of the northern regime. The island of Cyprus has been divided since 1974 when it was occupied by Turkey. The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is only recognized by Turkey .
The singer faced criticism for the event and a Facebook protest against the concert has over 21,000 members. The concert scheduled for Lopez’s 41st birthday, reportedly would have paid $3 million. The hotel owner has said that he will withdraw the suit if Lopez follows through on her obligation Leather Handbags.
