  • Ivy League
    Noticed a shortage of smartly-dressed gentlemen in the streets last night? That’s because they were all on the seventh floor of Saks Fifth Avenue, toasting the arrival of Gant by Michael Bastian in the store, as well as the reprinting of Take Ivy. Bastian, fresh back from a trip to London, was in high spirits, and so were shoppers, as men have been eagerly anticipating this day after a supremely successful launch.

Miss-Togo

Gertrude Akumah, lauréate du concours 2010

 

Voici 16ans déjà que l’élection « Miss-Togo » fait parler d’elle. Un projet audacieux, lancé dans une période d’instabilité et d’incertitudes est devenu aujourd’hui un évènement national de taille, qui intègre les aspects économique, social, culturel, traditionnel voire politique. Elle obéit par excellence à la promotion de la femme togolaise et à son épanouissement.

 

Par l’organisation annuelle de cet évènement, le but visé par le Comité National Miss-Togo est de faire la « promotion de l’éducation de la jeune fille et le leadership féminin ». C’est également un canal par lequel ce Comité veut faire connaître et appliquer les textes juridiques qui protègent les femmes togolaises, lutter contre l’ignorance, l’injustice et réhabiliter la femme africaine en général et togolaise en particulier.

Aujourd’hui, la jeunesse togolaise adhère massivement à la vision du Comité National Miss- Togo, qui au-delà du spectacle inédit qu’il offre à la population, veut célébrer la dignité et la grandeur de la femme togolaise. C’est dans cette optique que, pour la 16ème fois consécutive, la soirée annuelle consacrée à l’élection de la plus belle fille du Togo s’est déroulée ce samedi 21août 2010 au Palais des Congres de Lomé. Elle a mis en compétition vingt (20) candidates d’une grande élégance doublée d’une grande finesse, intelligence et de culture pour la conquête de la couronne de Miss-Togo. Venues des cinq (5) régions du pays, elles ont été jaugées par les membres du jury à travers des parades en tenues de ville, de soirée, de vérité, traditionnelle, et l’ultime épreuve de questions-réponses.

A l’issue de ces différentes étapes et sur des critères bien définis notamment la beauté plastique et intellectuelle, la démarche, la taille, la corpulence, c’est Mlle Armande Gertrude Akumah, étudiante en 3ème année de Management qui a été sacrée « Miss-Togo 2010 ». Elle avait comme 1ère Dauphine Mlle Christina Koagni, étudiante en 1ère année Marketing et 2ème Dauphine Mlle Epiphanie Gantin, étudiante en 2ème de Gestion à l’Ul (Université de Lomé). Pour l’heureuse l’élue, elle était confiante même si les autres filles sont belles et méritaient également la couronne. Le thème de cette année qui porte sur « la scolarisation de la jeune fille » est une thématique qui lui tient beaucoup à cœur, a-t-elle ajouté.

Les membres du jury ont proclamé les résultats, le public a approuvé ! Le Président du Comité National Miss-Togo, Gaspard Baka, a exprimé sa satisfaction totale à l’issue de cette soirée, dans la mesure où les résultats ont reçu l’assentiment populaire. La soirée a été animée par les artistes togolais comme Omar B, Charl’Ozzo, Alain Vierge, Afia Mala et Francis Eddia du Bénin.

  • Americana Psycho
    "They don’t make things like they used to," our parents complained. Now, as we age we find ourselves sharing that sentiment, a sign no doubt that we’re — officially — old. Our clothes are shoddily made. We can’t get a good multi-blade shave yet don’t know our way around a straightedge. We miss vinyl; hell, we miss CDs! Don’t fret, because more

  • Video: On Eve of Labor Day's Muscular Dystrophy Telethon, Jerry Lewis Says He'd Like to 'Smack [Lindsay Lohan] in the Mouth'
    Evidently nothing gets Jerry Lewis, 84, more enraged than an out-of-control starlet, according to an interview with Lewis on Inside Edition. Lewis, who will host the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telethon for the 60th time this weekend, unleashed a rant about Lindsay Lohan and other troubled stars who take their celebrity for granted. "I think they need a f*****g spanking! And a reprimand!" Lewis, says in the interview with "Inside Edition."  "It has nothing to do with [money and fame], it has to do that they have the intelligence of a box of rocks. A bag of snails will give you better answers than those people....I think a great deal of it is ignorance and crying for something other than fan love." Asked specifically about Lohan, Lewis said, "I'd smack her in the mouth if I saw her. I'd smack her in the mouth and be arrested for abusing a woman."    "Inside Edition's Jim Moret then asked, "What would you say to her?" "I would say 'you deserve this and nothing else.' Whack! And then if she's not satisfied, I'd put her over my knee and spank her. And then put her in rehab. And that's it." Here's the Inside Editon interview with Jerry Lewis:
