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

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!
