New Years Eve party Dress

Keep it Classy and Chic !
I love this Alberta Ferretti dress paired with Jimmy Choo Cosmic High Heels,
a timeless Chanel 2.55 bag and a pair of Tiffany's earrings.
A touch of lace is always feminine and chic.

Wikipedia needs us!

KNOWLEDGE is the most precious human patrimony.
I cannot begin to describe you how much I love Wikipedia.
I am sure you all do and I feel it is a great, essential cause
to help it to remain free of sponsors and independent.

Think how many times you logged on their pages and got
free answers to your questions.
For the price of a Magazine you can help Wikepedia
remain this amazing treasure.

Wikipedia Founder

Wikipedia is built differently from almost every other top 50 website. We have a small number of paid staff, just twenty-three. Wikipedia content is free to use by anyone for any purpose. Our annual expenses are less than six million dollars. Wikipedia is run by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, which I founded in 2003.

At its core, Wikipedia is driven by a global community of more than 150,000 volunteers - all dedicated to sharing knowledge freely. Over almost eight years, these volunteers have contributed more than 11 million articles in 265 languages. More than 275 million people come to our website every month to access information, free of charge and free of advertising.

But Wikipedia is more than a website. We share a common cause: Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's our commitment.

Your donation helps us in several ways. Most importantly, you will help us cover the increasing cost of managing global traffic to one of the most popular websites on the Internet. Funds also help us improve the software that runs Wikipedia -- making it easier to search, easier to read, and easier to write for. We are committed to growing the free knowledge movement world-wide, by recruiting new volunteers, and building strategic partnerships with institutions of culture and learning.

Wikipedia is different. It's the largest encyclopedia in history, written by volunteers. Like a national park or a school, we don't believe advertising should have a place in Wikipedia. We want to keep it free and strong, but we need the support of thousands of people like you.

I invite you to join us: Your donation will help keep Wikipedia free for the whole world.

Thank you,

Jimmy Wales

Great Panettone Holidays Recipes

Milanese Panettone is one of my favorite things!

It is so easy to celebrate the Holidays with a fresh slice

of Panettone.

For the correct spelling it is one N and two Ts, no mistakes!

It comes from

 pane: the italian word for bread

panettone means a big bread.

These days you can find it in almost every Grocery Stores.

And these are a few recipes I like.

1. Keep it Simple

Make a light Egg Cream to accompany your Panettone.

6 eggs yolks at room temperature.

12 table spoons of refines white sugar

1 teaspoon of Vanilla extract.

Beat all at high speed untill fluffy.
Add 3  spoons of mascarpone cheese
at room temperature.
(whip cream can be substituted)

Serve immediatly.

For six.

2. Monte Bianco

Slice the Panettone in 4 horizontal disks

spread the layers with Nutella or any good quality

chocolate hezelnuts cream.

Do not refrigerate.

Sprinkle with loads of white powder sugar.

3. Make a Wish

Slice the Panettone in front of your guests

place it on a baking sheet

toast with the broiler (2 minutes)
Remove from oven when lightly toasted,

add a spoon of Grand Marnier on each toasted slice,

add wipped cream

serve immediatly.

enjoy it !!

Holydays Champagne & Decor

This year I love the champagne and brown color combination...

                    

Corals and mercury glasses are always in style for me.

I try to add simple inexpensive things like this

Cinderella Pumpkin that I also used for Thanksgiving,

a very beautiful gift from Earth.

Deapertment Stores are a great source of ideas...

but always add your personal touch.

A nice bottle of Champagne is a great gift that

all can enjoy.

No matter what is your budget there are so many

to select from...
