Astrologer, psychic, and tarotologist Alanna Credo of Zagreb, Croatia successfully predicted the financial crash of '08, the election of George W. Bush & Barack Obama, and offers you tips and advice for your upcoming week. Week of July 31st, 2010 Aries: Your style is independence at all costs. Well fair enough, if that's how you want to play it, but I'd advise you to do everything you can to COMPROMISE with the people you care about this week. Otherwise, you're in for a nasty rout with somebody who you care about very much. And if you've read this too late, and they're already pissed, apologize, please. There's no doubt that you were right in the situation, but what you don't see is that there is never just one right solution, just like there's more than one way to screw it up. Loosen up, don't fight the current, and you'll be surprised where your week takes you! Taurus: You just can't say no, can you? Your workaholic tendencies are revving up big time this week, but the rewards you think you'll gain do not outweigh the cost. Whatever edge you think you're getting is going to end up setting you back if you don't give your body (and spirit) some much needed R&R. Skip the overtime this week, and whatever you do, DON'T work this weekend, if you can avoid it. Get back home this weekend, have some fun and get dirty, and then when you get back to work it'll be all aces. Gemini: Wow are you ready for love this week! It may feel as if a weight on your sexual energy has been lifted, and you can now lift (or love) ten men (or women ^_~)! And there has been, astrologically speaking. For you singles get out there and have fun, but for you coupled Gems, it may be a bit more tricky. Your partner has gotten used to your lowered libido, and may not be able to change gears so quickly. To get what you want, you're gonna have to grease the wheels. Shower your love with affection, rather than just begging for some. That's the only way you'll get it! Cancer: Stars are aligned for you to be the fixer of all problems that stand in your way! You'll find your self hit with a sudden epiphany that solves a long stalemated problem, if you keep your mind alert, and awake. Keep an eye out for any signs, reoccurring words, or numbers to help spur on the thought. The world is trying to help you succeed, work with it! This whole sensation of an impending change in your life is really throwing you off balance, so it's wise to ask for a little space from loved ones this week while you find your new footing. Leo: Your mind has been turning like a rubix cube, and the colors just all lined up. This can be an exhilarating feeling Leo! Your mind feels sharper, and it is! You're suddenly dying to get out and get some new experience to go with your new mental energy, learning is like fine dining this week. Find a subject your passionate about (be it an issue, or a person) and dive in! The more you embrace your intelligence, and give yourself credit for how smart you really are, the more you'll gain. Don't let self-doubt creep in, or all this wonderful energy could transfer into nervousness and flu-like symptoms, what a waste that would be! Virgo: Your shopaholic is going to get the best of you this week. I could advise you to resist the urge to splurge, Virgo, but I know you're going to anyway. Just do yourself a favor, and check that all the bills are paid before you go nuts. Seriously. You'll save yourself a big headache down the line. A headache that could cause you to miss a lucrative opportunity, in fact, costing you even more than you think. Libra: Mars is in Libra, so you're gonna be supercharged for the next couple of months. You feel like Justice incarnate, and that the world is finally falling into place as it should be. It's not, these positive changes are the result of hard work that you and others have put into the world, and should not be taken for granted. Overconfidence could trip you up and cut your ego back down to size, so why not skip that whole learning the lesson the hard way and just take my advice? Scorpio: Uh-oh, there's a skeleton in your closet that just picked the lock! There's gonna be stress this week, but don't let that get you down, stress is just focusing on what's keeping you down. Nothing is what it seems at the workplace, you're not paranoid, and someone is working behind the scenes to push your buttons. Simple solution: Don't take their bait! And don't let anyone pile more work on you than you can handle. Whatever memory has come back from the past to haunt you, you're gonna have to face it, and conquer it once and for all this week. An Earth sign that's close to you can supply all the support you need, (not someone at work!) most likely it's a Taurus and they sense that you need them without you having to say a word. So don't be afraid to ask for help. You deserve to do the crying on someone's shoulder for once. Sagittarius: Ah, the allure of the unknown. Intoxicating, isn't it? If you're single, you're like a pig in mud, but if you're in a relationship it's a fish out of water sensation. Be careful Sag, you know how fickle your moods can be, and more than once you've regretted a hasty decision in ending a relationship. Perhaps it is time to end things, if you've had the vibe that you're both heading in different directions for a while now, it may just be time. Again though, if you're single, the good times are rolling, so roll with them! Capricorn: Boy are you on the ball. It seems like you're setting a new trend every day, and you should be! Your creative energy right now is at a peak you won't have again for a while. And it would seem to me that this is the time to set yourself up for success in the fall. Start putting things in motion now while you're bursting with charism and good luck! Don't get cocky though Cap, as you're apt to do, or you'll find yourself regretting yet another situation where your foot ended up in your mouth. Aquarius: This is it. No more wishy-washy excuses, you've suffered enough. Make the decision that's been at the core of your problems, and stick with it. If its a relationship, end it or commit already, but do it 100%! Anything less is doomed to failure, and your window of opportunity is closing. But do not examine what they have done to you before you choose, look only at yourself and ask what the change would mean to you, your life, and your happiness. If you're single it's time to make a big change, especially if you've been in a bit of rut. Something needs to break up the hum drum routine and it needs to happen now! Take a new class, put out your resume for more exciting jobs, reach for something! Without goals, life is really, really dull. Pisces: Mars has been testing you, if you didn't know. Usually it's easy enough to avoid conflict, but lately you have felt ready, willing, and able! You'll go toe to toe with a mountain lion right now, I have no doubt, but watch the ego. You're not as versed as some of the other signs in ego-management, and coupled with your abilities for manipulation you could find yourself in a really nasty knot of karma when the bill comes due. Mars is on the way out, so hold tight, keep your cool, and relax till Mercury slides in next week.

Butt Seriously From The Book of J.Lo: We may be through with the ass but the ass isn't through with us By Sloane Crosley Tuesday, Aug 3 2004 White girls with big asses, man. There goes another one, a J. Crew cardigan riding up atop a buttock so big, so out of place, it makes you wonder if Serena Williams woke up this morning wondering where her ass went. Temperatures are going up, taking hemlines with them, and the trendy white ass is hanging out there like a couple of upside-down Tasty-D scoops. They're taking over this city. They're everywhere I turn: in dressing rooms, in store windows, in that pond with the little boats?anywhere I can look down and see my own reflection. Yes, I'm one of them and it seems strange to admit something so plain, but until recently the subject has been almost completely taboo among the SPF 40 set. If I said even now (in front of a man or woman of any race for that matter) that I think I have a big butt, they encourage me to deny it. "You have a great ass," they say. Which, ahem, isn't the issue in question. And all that protesting, all that mutually exclusive commentary about how big versus how appealing, leads a 5-5 pallid girl to wonder: What is it, exactly, about the ass right now? On the street, men tell us we've got a "phat ass" and most of us immediately jump to some bad comedy film scene where a blue-haired lady in a Talbot's suit whispers in our ear, "That's how 'they' say it, dear. It's a compliment.' " I hate this woman because (a) in my fantasy she usually smells like turnips and (b) she's a bigot. But she comes to me every time, and believe me this means every damn day. The basic difference between white women getting hit on or hollered at for their butts versus black women getting the same harassment is that these men, I think, are surprised by my ass. On the walk to work, on the subway platform, at a bar?they're surprised all over this town. And it is the surprise that validates their double take. I've seen how black women get looked at and for better or worse their whole body seems to register. Their hair, their breasts, their shoulders . . . a gaze may start at the ass, butt it moves right along. Thus I think the white girl's fascination with a flat ass comes not so much from the desire to have a flat ass (also known as a "flass"), but the desire to shift focus onto something else. With no form of below-the-ab-quator entertainment, eyes become bored, wander to more uni-racially appealing parts like breasts or shoulders or nice arches. In a shocking turn of events, the major woman's magazines are trying to encourage this "cover that thing up" mind-set despite every clothing storefront in the city showing off their half-naked mannequins. Since May, magazines have been loaded with rear-view, waist-down pictures of women, and they all say something like this: Big bottom? Avoid horizontal stripes or patterns that draw attention to your backside. Read: "You're a lard ass, honey. Lay off the 4 a.m. China Fun and go see a movie with that disjointed and meaningless makeup ad starring Julianne Moore and Halle Berry [because they really need the work] for similar messages." And you know what? In every damn photo on every glossy page is a little sliver of exposed pale skin. Of course, if that same skin were darker some intern from the suburbs would get more nasty letters than she could open in a single summer. Those same magazines claim that this fall, the miniskirt will die. It will slit its seams with back issues of Vogue or hurl itself on to the runway, but it will be very dead. Time to cover up. Bring out the pearls and the tweed 'cause Prada's got a brand new bag and it's burlap. But can a whole body part really go out of season? Can it be trendy? According to Ludacris it can. From Blow It Out: "Plus I'm the new phenomenon like white women with ass." White girls showing off their big booties is a novelty and, as such, a rapidly endangered concept. So be warned: If the magazines and lyrics have their way, this may be the last season of the ass. And OK. On the one cheek, I'm fine with that. I have to admit to being a longtime horizontal stripe-ist. In spite of what I've seen this summer, I'm having a tough time letting go of a lifetime of black pants. I'm still sick of not being able to find a pair of jeans that doesn't either gap at the waist or make me look like a plumper. I'm sick of playing musical hangers with department store bikinis and of my reflection lasting a millisecond too long in a store window. What is that passage from The Book of J.Lo? We may be through with the ass but the ass isn't through with us. My ass has a spine of its own, seeming to move in one block, detached from the swooshing of my legs like it's following me around and if I run really fast I'll lose it. I've tried that once, incidentally. There was one week a few months ago when three?count them?three, free one-week memberships to gyms fell into my lap/mailbox: New York Sports Club, Reebok Sports Club, and the David Barton Gym. I thought, OK, God wants me to burn some carbs. But it was more than that. This ass, I thought. This ass should not be attached to white chicken legs. This ass is on a foreign-exchange program. This ass is lost. Time to send it home. So I piggybacked my free memberships and worked out every day for nearly a month. I stretched and ran and learned the many aspects of treadmill etiquette. Apparently, it's a sort of female version of the public urinal. Eyes front! No smiling! And no, I don't think I would take the same measures if I were black because the majority of black asses I've seen in my life look like they belong where they are?they're sexy and they fit. Their overarching bootyliciousness is a side-effect of plain old genetics. Yeah, well, I'm white as the day is long, so what about me? Unless we start getting used to the idea that some white girls are simply built like this too, I'm completely subject to the fad. Where's my ass's raison d'être? Do I really only get one summer before it's back to the anti-back? Say it isn't so. I welcome the omigod-Becky-would-you-look-at-her-Nordic-baby-got-back trend and plan to perpetuate my ass off. Literally. Viva la bone-white booty. I don't particularly feel like shoving it in the back of the closet with my horizontal-striped pants come fall. My ass isn't perfect for someone else's body because it's not on someone else's body. It's time to embrace that. Better yet, it's time to have some else embrace that. Either way, the "phenomenon" is just confirming what we white girls with big asses have known for years. There's always been a secret society of us. At our best we smile at each other on the street like honking Jeeps passing in the night, encouraging and sympathetic and exclusive all at once. At our worst, well?at least my ass isn't as big as hers, right? For this summer in this city at any rate, I've found more of the former. White female butts are on display as never before and they're being checked out by people of every race, sex, and contact prescription. Whether that's inappropriate or violating, whether it's motivated by jealousy or lust, is a different issue for a colder day when we're not all trying to show off and get tan in public. For now, anything that makes New Yorkers grin at each other even on a crowded and sweltering subway platform is OK by me. Sloane Crosley is a writer living in New York. She likes to keep her ass out of trouble as much as possible.

EDT vs EDP What does this mean in the Perfume buying world? Fragrance EDT EDT < ? > EDP We have received questions in the difference between EDT (or Eau de Toilette) and EDP (or Eau de Parfum) and which one is better. It is very important to know the differences because they can to put it bluntly, smell not exactly the same. You wouldn't want to spend money on something that doesn't smell like the perfume or fragrance you smelled at the fragrance counter of the mall. Well we did our research for you so read the following and you will be able to better decide on your next purchase. It is simply a matter of the amount or concentration of oils in the fragrance. These oils or "juice" as they are called provide the intensity factor. The highest concentration of "juice" is in perfume (or parfum). Next would be Eau de Parfum, then Eau de Toilette, and finally Eau de Cologne. Actually, Eau de Toilette and Eau de Cologne are generally interchangeable, particularly in Men's fragrances. The higher the concentration of "juice" the longer your fragrance will last, and the less you need to apply. PERFUME (PARFUM) This consists of a 15-30% concentration of perfume essence and is the strongest fragrance available. This means that not only do you need to use less, but also that the fragrance lasts longer, typically for up to 6 hours, depending on skin type. EAU DE TOILETTE (EDT) This is a lighter more delicate fragrance, with a 4-8% concentration of the essence, and is therefore most suited to everyday use. It is normally less expensive than Eau de Parfum, and lasts for 2 to 4 hours. EAU DE PARFUM (EDP) This is lighter than Perfume, with an 8-15% concentration, and so is less expensive but still has long lasting characteristics, from 3 to 5 hours. Now that you are more versed in you fragrance knowledge go to our fragrance finder to pick out your next favorite perfume or cologne today. Yours Truly, TreatsandThreads.com Staff

The team and I decided to go down to Baltimore Maryland for a styling and fashion consultant trip. Fearon Wright, the mvp of the Baltimore Mariners invited me out to the first Home game of the season. They were already 1-0 due to a win in Pittsburgh. I arrived in town early to conduct business, which included outfitting the team with Luxury Street wears. Brands like premium Raw Blue, Blak Label and an old favorite, LRG. The players were a bunch of great guys. They all seemed focused and ready to roll. After getting sizes and taking notes for future, we exchanged info and discussed some local activities. Regardless of the rain-drenched east coast that weekend, I refused to let downtown slip away. Surprising was the older architecture and what visually at first glanced reminded me of the Federal buildings in downtown Manhattan. Granted they were half the size and the area this covered much smaller as well, they still had an old world influence. On a negative note, I noticed the homelessness issue that plagues the city. On any given night, it is estimated that there are 3,400 individuals who are homeless in Baltimore. I was trying to enjoy the architecture of what looked like a awesome library or museum, but was interrupted by several men drinking and laying on the floor of the steps and entrance. I walked on but took note to change this. Speaking with Fearon about this issue he decided to start a charity/fundraiser. More on that subject another article. Anyone who is familiar with Baltimore Street is probably wondering- “did you hit the strip clubs?”. Answer is no, I decided to save that for another trip. These adult joints are saturated like the fat in Oreo cookies. Just as deadly sweet I presume. There are 14 adult clubs on Baltimore Street alone let alone the other ones in the downtown area. So I thought lets save that huge undertaking for another time. That weekend was about making money and getting acquainted with area. Alcohol flourished in this area as well, so of course I partook in some party favors and brought them back to hotel. Before arriving at the 4pm game my partners and I went for a stroll through the more touristy areas. My photographer, Ace Brown, brought the camera out for some quick snaps of the harbor. We browsed the Gallery Mall and smelled the salt-water air. During our pregame travels we noticed there was a St. Patty’s Day parade going on. This would explain many of the locals wearing green and walking unsure footed. Note to self: Do not ask directions of a girl who can barely stand wearing a beads and a gigantic furry green hat. Once we arrived at 1st Mariners Arena, home to the AIFA’s Baltimore Mariners, it was a refreshing site. The complex was very gorgeous. We found looked for our seats and along the way I took note of the $7.75 tap beer. Well, being from NYC, I cannot complain about the price. We got there just in time. The Game was on! We waved hi to some friends we met back at the hotel and started cheering. The Mariners won 68-22. Fearon had 3 sacks that game and one of the players I styled, Armar Watson- he had 4 interceptions. It was an exciting game. We went down to the field to snap pictures with players with cheerleaders. Children were everywhere getting autographs. It was a good trip. Due to scheduling difficulties we could not stay for after party, but we will be back. Shout out to Fearon Wright for making this possible. Currently his team is 4-0, with the last game being a shutout win of 59-0. Go guys! By:Haskell Jules Fashion Stylist for Treats and Threads
