    I’m totally fond of music, movies… and HMV is one my favorite store. Today, I found some movies and CDs for almost nothing.
    If you like movies and music as much as I do, run to your closest HMV store to enjoy the latest sales on DVDs and CDs. Prices start from £2.99 and HMV has reduced its prices by up to 50% . Before going to the store, let’s take a look at their website.

    The New Year’s Eve approaches and, Ladies, you wonder what you are going to wear to be the most beautiful for this special night? Just opt for the little black dress, the famous one!
    Do you know that it is the French fashion designer Coco Chanel who has created and popularized “the little black dress” in the 1920s?
    Today, it clearly stands out as a basic, in the same way as the jeans or the white shirt. The fashion designers decline it in all materials and for all budgets every year. Here are some examples of black dresses which you can find on Web without having to break your moneybox. Let’s choose one and then, send me the pictures! ;)

    Patricia Field: £65

    New Look £15

    Sarah Coggles: £55

    Telebid and Yiieha

    After having previously reported (blog post here) about Telebid we now read in the FAZ that apparently Telebid has not only expanded to the UK and Spain but is also planning to open up in the US, Korea, Japan and China and currently has a daily subscription rate of 3,000 new members per day! We had also discussed the business model previously in the blog and we know now that apparently Telebid is making a daily turnover of almost 30 000 to 35 000 Euros per day, according to FAZ!!! Judge for yourself.

    Concerning the recent eBay sale of Yieeha, a Social Community Shopping Portal, the new owner has been made know now on their blog and is the Net-Line Onlinedienste GmbH from Heilbronn. After quickly checking out their website the company turns out to be a live-erotic-cam provider, which gives the Yieeha slogan “Social winning” quite a new twist! It is good to know the user info in safe hands.
