may I venture a guess as to what you are attempting here….
That is you want people to feed you their ideas about what the ideal work-at-home job would be so that you can attempt to either create that job, or at least create the illusion that you have this “job” available and get people to jump through hoops in an attempt to achieve this “Job”
or?
whatever …..
Why do feminists whine about the physical portrayal of women in the media?
Lets face it; we are a culture of shallow people; the whole western world is. Sex sells; beautiful people sell. Do you honestly expect companies like beer companies to advertise with fat chicks instead of skinny supermodels? Do you think any company that target’s males as a market segment will get the same results using an average or chubby girl instead of a smokin hot super model? NO. Why should they? a corporations goal is to make profit; not present women realistically. Lets face it were an obese culture; most women, and many men in the US are obese; we don’t like to think about the reality that most of our dating choices out there are far from the ideal body figure. We want to see want we WANT not what we can get, and associating that with a particular product is only good marketing. And besides; why should expecting a woman or a man to look like a model be unrealistic? Is it that hard for american women to stop stuffing food down their throats? Biological and Psychological studies have PROVEN that amongst men and women there are traits valued as ideal; for men its a woman who is SKINNY and has good hips; for woman is a man with money. THIS IS BIOLOGICAL YOU CANT CHANGE IT! So why do people, especially women whine and complain about the media portraying an “unrealistic body type”? Could it be an excuse to not try and improve their physical image? It may not be fair to judge a person based on physical looks alone…but who ever said life was fair? Expecting a company to be more realistic in its presentation of men or women’s body types, is stupid, irrrelevant, and bad business.
P.S. This applies to bothe MEN and Women. Im just curious why women, particularly feminists whine about it more than men? men have it worse than women, because women are picky, yet they dont complain as loudly as feminists do.
Amen! A tiger cannot change her stripes. Mens brains are programmed to be attracted to beautiful women. Women’s brains are programmed to attracted to men with dominance (with money). We got this from evolution. This is who are as human beings and we have to accept it. I think women and start wearing those price tags, so men know how much you cost.
Can you proof read this please??
Kevyn Aucoin was a wonderful makeup artist who saw natural beauty in many and helped accentuate their features.
He was born on February 14, 1962 in Shreveport, Louisiana at a Catholic Charities Home for un-wed mothers.
His mother, Nelda Mae Sweat, was a scared pregnant sixteen-year-old with strict Baptist parents. His father, a handsome football player named Jerry Burch, didn’t believe that the baby was his.
He was only a month old when he was adopted by an Aucoins family name. Kevyn grew up in a small town, Lafayette, with three other adopted brothers and sisters. At the age of eleven, he began making up his little sister Carla into a disco diva. While Carla was his source of inspiration, Barbara Streisand was his subject for painting and sketching.
Kevyn realized he was gay at an early age. It was hard fitting in a small town like Lafayette. Kevyn instantly became a target for his classmates. He was tormented physically and verbally.
At the age of 16, he moved out with his friend Glenn. Since neither of them had a job, they relied on their parents for food and other necessities.
One night Kevyn and his friend Glenn met a drag queen. Kevyn became mesmerized by the power of makeup he had seen on this drag queen. Soon enough, Kevyn started inviting more drag queens over to his apartment to do their makeup. That September, Kevyn had to start junior high again. As soon as he began, the physical and verbal tormenting started again.
Kevyn received death threats at school and he was beaten with rocks. One time two teenagers even tried to run him over with a truck. Finally, he dropped out of high school at the age 15. After he dropped out from high school he thought he would definitely fit in beauty school. 1978-1981. Kevyn asked his father for $900 to cover the tuition but Kevyn soon discovered that it turned out to be a waste of time and money because he knew way more than the teachers when it came down to makeup and hair both combined. Soon, he found a job behind a cosmetics counter at a local department store.
Following Kevyn’s break up with his boyfriend Glenn, he moved to New York where he found work doing make-up for a porn magazine called Cheezy.
Within a year, Kevyn was hired to work with Meg Tilly on a Vogue shoot. It was a milestone for Kevyn because he started working with models such as Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss, and celebrities including Tina Turner and Cher. Over the next couple of years, Kevyn did make-up for 18 covers of Vogue and 7 for Cosmopolitan.
During the 1990s, Kevyn refused to promote products for Vincent Longo and Laura Mercier because he was only going to receive 5% of the profits. Instead, Kevyn launched a new line of beauty products, the Kevyn Aucoin collection, which he was going to launch on his own web site–keyvnaucoin.com.
Kevyn’s make-up style truly defined the nineties. He brought out the beauty with classic touches. Kevyn had a unique vision that was completely transformational. He could completely “erase” someone’s features, and create a new face. He could glam up anyone, turn men into women, bring back faces from the past, and add shadow, texture, and features that were non-existent.
Kevyn’s advertising work for Ultima was the result of “Naked”, a line he helped to design and he also had been hired to revamp for Shiseido.
1994. Kevyn wrote three books: The Art of Make-up, Making Faces, and Face Forward.
1995-1998. In 1995 the Council of Fashion Designers gave him the only award that they had ever given a make-up artist.
In 1997, Making faces made it to number 1 on the New York Times best-seller-list.
In 2001, he played himself in the film The Intern, he also played the part of a make-up artist in the film The Zoolander, (2001). Later on in 2001, he played himself in two episodes of the t.v. show The Sex and the City.
October 2001, just a month before launching his own cosmetics line, Kevyn was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He died May 2002 due to kidney and liver failure
umm noo I have beer to drink this looks really really long and boring and I haven’t had to do homework in about 11 years I didn’t want to then and I don’t want to now.
Help, I really need your help???
Well, my mom just started a make-up course and she already has a new project: a biography on a celebrity make-up artist. She needed my help on it so I helped her. I just finished typing it up. But I have a problem both my mom and I don’t have a source to go to help for. I mean, we both aren’t very good when it comes to english grammer. So, if you’re kind enough please correct the grammatical errors, commas, run on sentences and just anything out of place. Please help me because I have no where else to go to get help for this. So here is the biography

I already did. it shows no mistakes but ms word doesn’t show alll mistakes.
Pretty good. Since this is for a make-up class it should be alright. You do need one more paragraph or at least a sentence at the end. A closing one, that summarizes the bio. – like-
K. A. was more than just a make-up artist, and will continue to be remembered as a talented creative individual whose colorful lifestyle and exception imagination continue to leave their mark on the cosmetic industry even today.
This will leave the reader with a positive feeling, not a creepy hospital death one, as well as remind them why they read the paper.
Also, if using Microsoft word, before typing go to TOOLS on the top menu, hit Options, select the Spelling and Grammar File, hit Settings (underneath writing style) and then check and change things as needed. You can hit re-check document to do so.
Help on my landscaping and construction business plan i need answers under each topic please help asap.?
Promotion
How will you get the word out to customers?
Advertising: What media, why, and how often? Why this mix and not some other?
Have you identified low-cost methods to get the most out of your promotional budget?
Will you use methods other than paid advertising, such as trade shows, catalogs, dealer incentives, word of mouth (how will you stimulate it?), and network of friends or professionals?
Should you have a system to identify repeat customers and then systematically contact them?
How much will you spend on the items listed above? Where will this money come from?
Image
What image do you want to project? How do you want customers to see you?
What plans do you have for graphic image support? This includes things like logo design, cards and letterhead, brochures, signage, and interior design (if customers come to your place of business).
Pricing
Explain your method or methods of setting prices.
Compare your prices with those of the competition. Are they higher, lower, the same? Why?
For most small businesses, having the lowest price might take away from profit margin; large competitors can under price you anyway.
Will you have average prices and compete on quality and service?
Does your pricing strategy fit with what was revealed in your competitive analysis?
How important is price as a competitive factor? Do your intended customers really make their purchase decisions mostly on price?
Proposed Location
Is your location important to your customers? If yes, how?
If customers come to your place of business:
Is it convenient? Parking? Interior spaces? Not out of the way?
Is it consistent with your image?
Is it what customers want and expect?
Where is the competition located? Is it better for you to be near them (like car dealers or fast food restaurants) or distant (like convenience food stores)?
What qualities do you need in a location? Describe the type of location you’ll have.
Physical requirements:
• Amount of space
• Type of building
• Zoning
• Power and other utilities
Access:
Is it important that your location be convenient to transportation or to suppliers?
Do you need easy walk-in access?
What are your requirements for parking and proximity to freeway, airports, railroads, and shipping centers?
Include a drawing or layout of your proposed facility if it is important, as it might be for a manufacturer.
Construction? Most new companies should not sink capital into construction, but if you are planning to build, costs and specifications will be a big part of your plan.
Cost: Estimate your occupation expenses, including rent, but also including maintenance, utilities, insurance, and initial remodeling costs to make the space suit your needs.
What will be your business hours?
Distribution Channels
How do you sell your products or services?
• Retail
• Direct (mail order, Web, catalog)
• Wholesale
• Your own sales force
• Agents
• Independent representatives
• Bid on contracts
……I need answers for these in your opinion for a business plan for a landscaping and construction company please help
Thats alot try posting one question at a time.
I do know that word of mouth is the beat way to advertise. Canvassing close neiborhoods door to door offering your services (not being too pushy or passive) can be very effective if you do it wel. “Hi, sorry to bother you. I’m just stopping by advertising for landscaping co. that is currently working in your neiborhood…” Have a flyer with standard prices, offer free estimates. “…and if you schedule today you get ____ for free!
Good luck
