Can Epigenetics Shine a Light On Fat

I found some photos of when I started my PhD in Space Telecommunications, its been on pause for some time just like these photos. I have been deep diving into the world of Epigenetics and that word that is like Kryptonite to many in the fashion world let alone the movie business. Its all ok until you start gaining weight or God forbid actually let yourself go and become Fat.

Epigenetics is about shining the light of what drives your fat genes in conditions that can be changed eg your either on or your off. Lots of environmental factors can determine them

What happens if you get Fat from factors outside your control like a course of antibiotics or getting sick. Some data suggestes that infections can actually turn your fat epigenetic on. Interesting

There are 11 types of Female Body Archetypes

There is 56% of female archetypes that have more fat than 44% of other female archetypes

16% of these 56% have the most amount of fat of all the female archetypes

Yet the fashion industry only cut their patterns for 1 of 11 female body archetypes what happens to the other 10 female body archtypes.

Like Joan from Mad Men

and The Presidents Wife in Scandal

This is really interesting stuff, men have less body fat than women and women have 11 different body types and need really 11 different patterns to be made for clothes to really fit them.

Its a jungle out there in the change rooms and the bedrooms at home all these female body archetypes trying to fit into something that is cut for 32 24 32 when they are 36 28 42 how does that work.

Environmental variables such as nutrition and lifestyle may contribute to this tendency. These variables have the ability to change gene expression without affecting the DNA sequence, which is a phenomenon known as epigenetics.

Fur Fabulous Fur

I’m releasing a controversial blog post today on Fur Fabulous Fur.

There have been a few moments where some really amazing fashion icons have bumped into me at an airport or sat next to me on a plane and the one thing I noticed about both these Fashion Icon’s is the same thing a Fur Coat.

So I am taking a look back at vintage fur and the chic that it brings to Fashion there is something very old school Hollywood Glamour when you see these images. As time marches on for everyone, tastes change and fashion dictates Faux instead.

I cant still think back to what iconic images have been created with Fur, and today I am remembering the contribution fur has made to fashion design as an iconic material

Homme – Nothing says Rock Star like Jim Morrison wrapped in Fur

 

Femme Fatale

 

Modern Love

Avant Guard

 

Vintage Vixen

Social Media = Social Saved? yet they say Prevention is better than the Cure if your a Property Developer or a Government please steal this idea xxx

How do you stop this happening in the future

https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/music/homeless-opera-singer-performs-concert-after-becoming-online-sensation/ar-AAIpBSc?ocid=spartanntp

Its an amazing story of how LAPD, changed the life of a homeless opera singer, what resulted was a $61,000 go fund me page a record deal and people now working on a permanent place for the Russian homeless opera singer to live.

But what happens if your not an Opera singer and your just Homeless?

The back story after falling ill, the opera singer became homeless in the state of California. and after LAPD social went viral she was saved.

Yet not everyone has this experience, and the idea of homelessness is on my mind, its everywhere, I have been blessed to travel and I often listen to radio, I notice that more adverts on radio talk about food banks, that children don’t have enough money to by school uniforms or pencils or food for school.

I thought about the challenge and what solutions are available to this, every major capital has the problem of young people unable to live the same dream of owning their own homes as their parents did?

This problem suddenly found inspiration, a new way of thinking, even last week I was looking for sites in Cornwall for this idea that was inspired by musicians, models, artists, technology leaders and corporations.

A creative Pod as a place to live, create and save to own.

Imagine if your making your first album, that in the same place people are making fashion collections with 3d scanners, making music video’s, movies, photo shoots, space based software and everyone around you is totally creating. A bit like university only its where you live. Your on your own your very own creative campus.

You have your own pod, where its like a dorm room with your own bathroom. A bit like the Imperial College London Hotel, during the summer they open their student dorms up as a hotel.  People can swim, stay and have communal areas.

http://www.imperial.ac.uk/visit/summer-accommodation/stay-with-us/our-rooms/

Maybe you still as an emerging creative work during times of the week, but when you get home and have time on the weekends there around you is a creative buzz. So you cant forget to follow your dream.

Its a little Eutopian but hey, you have to start somewhere on a solution.

The problem is every student, artist, dreamer, writer or just lover of life has to earn a living, has to have somewhere to live and most emerging artists find themselves in cycle  trading their precious creative time to pay rent equals dreams on the back burner.

The collection, the record, the software, the photoshoot, the new shoe collection, the first movie script, the first movie short film, the first AI program all waits and waits and sometimes it just never gets created because after working 64 hours to cover eating rent and transportation the desire to create is just not there.

Now add to the mix that usually the most creative in the world are sometime the ones with the most limited access to capital.

How do artists inspire each other and create and own their own living space. In Norway every student graduates to get a loan for studio, then once this paid they graduate to a home for the new family and children.

Ok but the USA and UK and Australia are not Norway I here you say.

So here is an idea for all the property developers with a heart take a property like the one I have found in Newquay £2.75 million

Land for sale in Development Site For 74 Apartments, Newquay, Cornwall TR7

Guide price £2,750,000 (£4,741,379.31/ac)

Read more at https://www.primelocation.com/for-sale/commercial/details/48163984#iq8jBBWIRQm3dr0t.99

Check its by the beach – Cornwall – inspiration and walks for budding creatives

Check its by an airport – Newquay – 60 mins to London

Check its near a Spaceport – Newquay

Check it has trains – and public transport

Check Greta can sail here to do a talk

Check you can sail to New York from here ( I think)

Now here is the place where the finance boffins and property developers need to get their excel spreadsheet and pocket calculators out.

How much would you need to rent each one of these rooms out to a creative and how long would it take for the creative to own it?

So the new way of developing is that the people renting them are on lease to buy, the model is that each person is paying each week to own the room. Once they pay it off they can sell it to another creative wanting to live and work at the creative campus.

The tricky bit is where the Magic happens

  1. How can you get license deals with Record Studio’s to set up recording studio spaces and equipment.
  2. How can you get license deals with Microsoft to supply the Tech Stack for the Developers Dream
  3. How can you get studio set up for green screens and camera’s like Sony
  4. How can you get people that have created to visit for Motivation Monday
  5. How do you get Space Entrepreneurs to visit to inspire the latest space related software ideas that are out of this world

This is just a thought for all those bored Property Developers & Producers looking for a social edge this week and governments that are looking for new ways of thinking about solutions to the housing and young peoples challenge.

Spare a thought today for Hong Kong

One of the things that Hong Kong students said is they live in the most expensive city for property in the world. They don’t have many jobs and they are expected to pay the highest rent in the world for the smallest square meterage in the world.

Now if everyone had access to making their dreams come true where they lived, making movies, music, films, writing etc would they be as stressed and unhappy as they currently are?

Young people have big dreams and how quickly they can get them out to the world makes the difference from being discovered to undiscovered.

Have a great week xxx

Harlette hits the spot with our diamond and platinum suspender clips.

There is a lot of talk about town, twitter and facebook on the topic of  that TV shows are having a positive effect on lingerie sales. The more women are seen having relationships with younger men on the TV the more  lingerie is being bought for the age group of 40 to 50-year-old women with London is reporting the most noticeable increase.

The annual migration to Canne has begun and the two-week film festival is full of events and reasons to be putting your best feet, legs, knickers, suspenders and bras forward.

Paparazzi, stars and the high net worth will spend the next two weeks soaking up the sunshine, watching films and attending parties and charity functions such as the third annual Better World Awards in Cannes on May 19. Sean Penn will honor “Heroes” star Jimmy Jean-Louis. as well as Naomi Campbell in Cannes on May 19. Gerard Butler, Julian Lennon, Boris Becker, Flavio Briatoreand Kenneth Cole are also on the list for the evening, which benefits Hollywood Unites for Haiti. 

The gala is such a hot ticket that a bunch of invites were stolen from the print shop. Event planners International Luxury Media are screening crashers by giving bona fide guests a secret RSVP code. E mail  thebetterworldawards@yahoo.com for tickets.
