Fashion in US Supermarkets.

I did a lot of the grocery in the US. In fact it has become such a pleasant thing to do when I travel. I must have gotten the grocery bug from Steffie. Anyway, I would usually wear jeans, t-shirt and slippers. I would however try to put on a little bit of make up and brushed my hair. I wanted to look at least half decent.

But these photos of people I am about to post is really crazy. It is an email that I received that is entitled, "USA Walmart Strikes Again!"

I don't know what these people are thinking. Going out of the house looking like this is beyond me. Anyway, see for yourself and I do hope that you have a good laugh because I surely did.

Enjoy!!

Forget the shirt! The pants will cover them puppies up anyway.

This kind of top doesn't require one to wear a bra. Or does it??

Gotta hide that tummy! I don't feel too confident to show off my body just yet.

Please tell me she's wearing a THONG!!!!

Pee-a-boo back is so in fashion right now!

This is not a magic trick. It's what I call a two sided butt crack! Better 2 than none.

I will not go back in the store with you! I paid for these melons!!!

Spring/Summer Fashion Forecast for 2o11. Layering is a must.

This is what I call a double whammy!!!

Taking those flip flops off won't make a difference, honey.

Even the high sided ponytail makes me cringe.

Yeah, the ankle weights are going to make a BIG difference!!

I think I am going to make these pajama pants into shorts!!!

I think she clipped them a tad bit too much!

Cougar to the highest degree!!

Is that injured foot from kicking your own ass for wearing that out in public??

Hmmm pies or plain bread???

Exactly how many sizes too small would you say this outfit is??

Look carefully! Can't believe more than one person actually bought these shorts!!

Where is StyleBible when you need them???

Speaking Easy by Penguin!

It's been a while since I last heard of Penguin, the clothing line. I remember when they were very popular. It is good to know that they are still around and making a very fashionable comeback. I better tell my brothers about this and hope to see them wearing what they used to love to wear when they were younger. I have a feeling my Dad would like it too.

This season Original Penguin takes customers back to a simpler time with a ‘Speak Easy’ revival. The Autumn/Winter offering brings back everything that is underground, relaxed, personal and ‘members only’ about the Iconic ‘Speak Easy’ movement, elements that run throughout the entire Original Penguin brand.

Inspired by the art of conversation, the message behind the collection is to go back to the birth of Original Penguin when there were no phones, Blackberries or instant messaging least of all Tweets, when face-to-face conversation was the norm. This ethos of paired back simplicity and straight forward communication been translated into the collection for AW11. Illustrated by strong shapes and rich hues, accented by the staple high quality construction of Original Penguin.

Knitwear presents a strong selection of vintage and modern styles in a mix of boiled and Merino wool. The knitwear also features double-breasted cardigans for a slightly formal silhouette alongside some of the more casual pieces with over sized wooden peg buttons. In keeping with the ‘locked in away from the cold’ feeling of the ‘speak easy’, there is a mix of ski inspired fairisle knits as well as the more basic versatile crew neck jumpers.


The outerwear mimics the relaxed armour of the knitwear range, delivering a combination of styles including the more fashion led varsity jacket, which has been produced in wool. Other pieces in the outwear range also include a pea -coat and a range of puffer jackets. Original Penguin has also developed a range of single-breasted jackets for the season, in a blend of khaki tones, which feature utilitarian elbow patches, symbolising the work wear element to the collection.

In terms of the leg wear offering, Original Penguin have stayed true to their roots and continued to produce a strong collection of durable chinos and cords in a number of colours that fit into A/W 11 trends, such as deep reds and navy’s. The Chinos also come in a number of fits ranging from the slimmer styles to the more modern carrot fit.

Original Penguin’s A/W 11 collection brings together everything that is quality and heritage from this iconic brand, pulling on classic menswear looks from the rich Original Penguin archive. This has then been produced in a range of current fits that are relevant for today’s man.

For Autumn Winter 2011 Original Penguin also launches a four-piece denim collection, the denim range offers four distinct styles, designed for a variety of looks. These include; the Heritage, which consists of a slim fit style also available in non-denim. The Rogue, which is a skinny fit, the Rockabilly offers a more classic style in a straight fit with a longer rise. Finally there is the Pioneer; a vintage carrot fit style, which is also available in a chino.

San Diego Zoo Vs. Manila Zoo.

We could learn a lot from San Diego Zoo. I was just there a month ago and I had an amazing time seeing how the animals are healthy, well fed and very active. They may be in captivity but they live in a habitat that is almost like home to them.

The biggest worry about Manila Zoo is Mali, the elephant.

Although most of the time elephants adjust very well to being in captivity, they are social; especially the females so having at least two of them together is important. They can suffer from depression if one of them dies due to the strong bonds that they form. They can also show strong emotions that indicate to those caring for them that they aren’t doing well with the environment they are a part of.

This is why Mali, the lone elephant in Manila Zoo seem to be emotionally distressed. How many years has he been alone?

The elephants in San Diego zoo are a herd. They have activities to keep their minds working and active.



Vultures! See how high and spacious their "home" is? They need this much space for them to make use of their wings. They are kept healthy and strong.

It may be my imagination but I see a smile on this tall fella.

Don't worry about the dog inside Bakka's cage. The Miley, the dog, is placed with him because apparently, the dog makes the cheetah feel calm and relaxed.

The crocs in San Diego Zoo had an ample amount of space.
Same with the turtles.
If you look closely, this Momma Hippo has a baby swimming around with her. The animals are so healthy here that they are able to have babies even in captivity. You should have seen how happy they were.
The birds with all their feathers.

The trick is to mimic the natural habitat of the animals in captivity. This way, they do not suffer from depression.

Your bloggerina by the elephant's ass! Don't worry, it is a statue.
