Each pet has a celebrity personality – from movie and music stars to tennis pros, writers, and news reporters. Remember Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Reese Witherspoon carrying their dogs in purses as fashion accessories?  In the world of Pawparazzi, the pets are the exciting celebrities who jet-set around the world.

Each pet comes with their own interactive celebrity life.  Pawparazzi.com is an online store where girls can also be entertained by their favorite celebrity pets online.With individualized personalities, every toy’s adventures can be chronicled on the Pawparazzi website.  Here kids can follow the escapades of their celebrity pet with the Pawparazzi Celebrity Weekly Tabloid.  To further immerse your child in today’s online culture, every toy owner can post pictures of their Pawparazzi Pet or even go to the message boards to interact with fellow owners.

The site has gossip and updates about Pawparazzi celebrities, games, photo gallery, animation, and a fan club for kids that includes a monthly newsletter, free products, announcements of specials, new product releases, and invitations to parties and special events. Trendy Pawparazzi pets have become a craze with teen girl’s ages 4 to11 years since they were released in 2006.

Pawparazzi celebrities have all of the fun of celebrity with none of the real world baggage.  Chris Ryan of Noodle Head says, “Pawparazzi are funny caricatures of celebrity. With little pets as our celebrities we don’t fret about girls’ self-image or mimicking the less desired traits of pop-culture idols. Though I admit I’ve seen my niece pretend to wag her tail – so I may be wrong about this"!

Because of popular demand, the company recently released a line of play clothing and accessories for the pets.  There is also a Hotel Pawparazzi, a play box that opens into a five star celebrity resort complete with sunbrellas and a pool.  The box is designed for girls to collect and store their Pawparazzi collection and their accessories.

The company retires sets of Pawparazzi personalities periodically.  A fresh new set of Pawparazzi are scheduled to be released in 2009.

Noodle Head, Inc. has now launched a retail website for its popular Pawparazzi Pets product line, where you can read the bios and see all the pets.  www.Pawparazzi.com

The entire line is sophisticated with an element of playfulness. The designers source all their fabrics from the same places as some of fashion’s major players. Celebrity fans of the brand include Vanessa Williams, Becki Newton, and Ana Ortiz. Bags range in price from $24-$104 and are available at Bergdorf Goodman and high-end boutiques nationwide.

Ideal for reading at home or traveling, simply slip your Kindle into the custom designed holder, pull up the retractable, twin LED reading light, and begin reading in any low light environment — in bed, on a bus, train, or airplane, as well as in a car or conference room.

The Lighted Folio’s built-in 5” x 8” notepad and pen holders makes it ideal for students and business users. The Periscope light is powered by three "AA" batteries (not included) that last at least 40 hours.

Many women feel uncomfortable about the shape of their arms, which are among the hardest body parts to sculpt. Add to that the fact the women often fluctuate in weight throughout their lives and saggy skin also becomes an issue.

FLABuLESS is a unique arm compression garment that helps women feel confident in their clothes again. Wearing FLABuLESS instantly lifts sagging skin, provides support, and slims and streamlines bulges and ripples. FLABuLESS provides a sleek, slender silhouette under a variety of tops, dresses and jackets, while giving adequate compression with proper sizing.

Lee Ann Stevenson created FLABuLESS after discovering that women were frustrated with tops that did not fit right. "FLABuLESS is shapewear intended to increase confidence in women by making them feel good in their own skin”, says Stevenson. “While surgery and exercise are options for some, many don’t have the time or resources. Whether you are 50 or 15, a business woman or a stay-at-home mom, we all want to look and feel good in our clothes. FLABuLESS achieves that goal".

FLABuLESS is currently available in two styles:

• Pleine provides full coverage with long sleeves that slim and shape your arm from shoulder to wrist.
• De Quart is a short-sleeve version that offers arm-slimming control at the top portion of your arm, creating a bulge-free silhouette.

These styles are currently available in two colors, black and copper nude. Chocolate, bone, and navy are being added to this unique line in 2009. Seven sizes are available, ranging from S-4XL, so there is help for every woman.

Coming soon is another innovation: The Veston, which is a shrug with compression built right into the sleeves. Made from classic fabrics like cotton for everyday use, satin for evening wear, and cashmere for chilly nights, this shrug is versatile enough to wear over any top, dress, or tank. Available in short, three quarter, and long sleeve lengths, it will give you the benefit of a streamlined silhouette.

So be confident in that tight shirt. Visit www www.flabulessu.com or call                     (4…         .

The beauty of these figure-flattering jeans is that they are available in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and washes. From sizes 4 to 16, with inseams from 31” to 38” inches, there is bound to be a pair you feel good in. And feeling good in your jeans is what it’s all about at the Perazzi Apparel Company, the makers of PZI Jeans. The company doesn’t offer just a “curvier” line as some brands do. These babies are specifically designed for shapely women, right from the start.

If you are tired of jeans that gap and show off your undies, the 2% stretch added to the fabric of PZI Jeans helps them stay put at the waist. They hug your curves, move with you, and don’t cling inappropriately. Comfortable and trendy, they are priced at under $100, appealing to women from all walks of life.

One glance at PZI Jeans’ web site demonstrates that women of all shapes and sizes are s-e-x-y. From tall and thin, to shorter and rounder, models of varying nationalities show off the great fit of these jeans and body types accommodated. And if you are interested in showing off your very own assets, the company is even hosting a multi-cultural model search.

World-renown author and lecturer Dr. Robert Anthony is an undercover secret to some of the most successful people on the planet. For the past 30 years he has spent his life unraveling the mysteries of the mind. The Secret of Deliberate Creation is a course that can empower and enhance your life. A course that can catapult you into a powerful new future

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to have it all, while others have very little and continue to suffer? Do you believe that struggle is normal? Is your life one long series of struggles and worries? Then you just may embrace Dr. Robert Anthony’s self-help series called "The Secret of Deliberate Creation". It can open doors to amazing success you never even knew existed. The Secret of Deliberate Creation is a powerful and dynamic approach to attracting anything you desire into your life. It is a course you can learn in the privacy of your own home or office.

As a life-long student of metaphysical philosophies, I’ve read many author’s works and listened to numerous self-help programs. I found this to be the most straight-forward, no nonsense, results producing personal development program I’ve discovered. I was so inspired, that I wanted to share this. It is distilled from Dr. Anthony’s study of every major philosophy, religion and psychological system as well as dozens of master teachers he’s known, his personal work with others over 30 years, and his own personal evolution. The whole goal of this series is to enable you to live your life by design, and not by default.

Doctor Robert Anthony’s self-help series of 6 CDs, The Secret of Deliberate Creation www.TheSecretOfDeliberateCreation.com, starts out with a refreshing disclaimer. He explains up front that what he will be telling listeners on the tapes is not the "Truth" but simply what works for him. This is a key to all self-help, where the operative word is "self". Everyone who wants to build a better life has to do it from a different place choosing the tools that are right for them. Other people can give guidance, but each person is responsible for finding what works for them. Good guidance suggests tools and encourages belief in the outcome but each person learn to use the tools and hold onto their belief. This is exactly what these audio CDs help someone do.

Unfortunately for people wanting to change, a lack of belief in the possibility of change is their first obstacle. Dr. Anthony uses quantum physics to challenge habitual beliefs about what is real and what is created by the mind. Quantum physics is simply a science that explains how everything in our world comes into existence. He helps you understand how your beliefs shift the universe and produce what you believe in. One of the benefits of understanding the basics of quantum physics is that you can finally see clearly how your thoughts, ideas and beliefs control the outcome of your life. Science speaks to the conscious mind about the possibility of "Deliberate Creation" in terms it can accept.

Dr. Anthony encourages people to start living by design. To do that, they need a vision they can believe in. So once the doubt has been cleared away, the work of designing and manifesting can be undertaken with enthusiasm.

A key idea of Dr. Anthony’s is the "Law of Attraction". If you accept the premises from physics about the vibrational, electrical nature of all matter, then you can see how the alignments of your thoughts and actions can create a resonance that attract and repel results. One of his goals is to give people tools to attract what they most desire.

Unfortunately, for many people, their heart"s desire is often vague. The audio spends a fair amount of time helping listeners define and embrace what they desire. Until a person has 100% certainty, they can be turned aside by the negativity of their habitual thoughts and of the negativity of others. The program enables you to identify how you sabotage achieving what you truly desire by buying into fear and negativity and doubt and how to turn that around.

Another important set of concepts in the program teaches people to find their inner compass. He talks about a Mind-Set versus a Heart-Set, a "Essential Silent Partner" and "Inner Guidance System" to always make the right decisions.

Ultimately, any success story includes huge amounts of perseverance.
His program covers the lure of making excuses, of self-sabotage and
other mental blocks. If you are finding yourself stuck, perhaps the
reminder of how important it is to keep on keeping on.

For anyone ready to help themselves, these tapes can offer a host of
tools and concepts to build the future they desire by design. You will be amazed at how much power you have and how easy it is to produce the outcome you desire.

About Dr. Robert Anthony

Dr. Robert Anthony is an undercover secret to some of the most successful people on the planet. For the past 30 years he has spent his life unraveling the mysteries of the mind. During that time he has earned a Ph.D. in behavioral psychology from Pacific Western University and has worked as a psychotherapist, NLP practitioner, master hypnotist, and personal performance trainer.

He has authored over 15 books, which have been published in 22 countries. His flagship books, Beyond Positive Thinking and The Ultimate Secrets of Total Self-Confidence have sold over a million copies.

Dr. Anthony has taught and lived in the USA, UK, Sweden, Russia, New Zealand, and Australia, where he now operates an international consulting company.

Unlike most other "mind performance" and "self-improvement" experts, Dr. Anthony hasn’t thrived on publicity to make a name for himself. His reputation has been built on his ability to take complicated ideas and present them in a simple, but profound way that gets immediate RESULTS. He has been featured as a keynote speaker and has presented over 5,000 prestigious seminars and training programs all over the world to clients who have paid thousands of dollars to attend.

His training goes much deeper than "motivation" or "positive thinking". Instead, he shows you how to align your personal power with the natural laws of the Universe to reverse the polarity of your life. So rather than trying to eliminate the things you DON’T WANT, you become naturally attracted to the things you DO WANT. This is the ultimate formula for success.

Seeing a product that solves a basic need always brings an "ah-ha" moment, followed by, "why didn’t I think of this type of product". When Jeff Zinger, the creator of Walk-o-Long could not bend over after having surgery on his back he thought as a first time dad that he should be the one helping his daughter to learn how to walk at the age when they are trying to pull themselves up. Seeing others with their babies bending over just did not look comfortable and looked painful as well. At the same time seeing parents and caregivers holding and pulling their arms over the little ones head did not look very safe or comfortable for them either.

The physician-endorsed Walk-O-Long is so easy to use. Simply wrap the Walk-O-Long under your child’s arms and around their chest, then adjust it to the perfect fit – about the same as a gentle hug – then secure the single-latch safety buckle in back.

After just a few short moments using the Walk-O-Long, a person’s reaction always is ?Where was that when my little baby was learning to walk? And the little smiles on their face are as unforgettable as they take those first few steps and then off they go like a kid in a candy store.

The Walk-O-long provides provides comfort, security and freedom of movement while babies are taking those first, critical steps and later it helps them learn motor skills of going up and down stairs. Parents can now help prevent bumps, brusies and tears and worse injuries. When they start to get a little older it can then be used to help them learn how to ice skate and roller skate, bicycle ride and much more. It is the ultimate supportive learning device for your little ones as it’s proven itself time and time again.

But more than that, the Walk-O-Long has proven itself invaluable as a physical therapy and "special-needs" tool. Six year-old Clarissa has cerebral palsy. Thanks to the Walk-O-Long, she can now go on walks with her mother (without the aid of her walker) and hold her brother’s hand! While using the Walk-O-Long with her mom, Clarissa can now reach for, and open, doors and gates as they head out on new adventures. She’s even tackling stairs, curbs and uneven walkways! Mom says after only the first few uses, she can see marked improvement in Clarissa’s self-confidence, co-ordination, and motor skills. You can see Clarissa’s first steps with the Walk-O-Long on their video page .

The Walk-O-Long was born in early 2005 to help parents and caregivers of the future and change the way babies and kids would learn in a fun and safe environment. It is now being sold all around the world. It was given out at the 2006 Extra TV Oscars Baby swag bags to many celebrities. It has been awarded the iParenting 2006 of excellence, the Preemie Cool Stuff Award from Preemie Magazine and recommended by PediactricPlanet.com, a group of pediatricians that formed the magazine of great products for children and babies. It has been written up by many magazines and news agencies. See site for all the the hype, pictures, video and more. To Google it, type in "Walk-O-Long" (include dashes).
Many differernt colors and patterns to choose from. It retails for $19.95.

Bringing the Northeast Holiday to California

Timed to help relieve holiday pressures, all three Southern California Bluewater Grill restaurants are preparing a special version of the “Holiday Stuffed Maine Lobster”, a classic New England holiday family meal. Originating in Boston-area restaurants, this limited-time deal includes whole Maine lobster stuffed with a special shrimp and buttery panko-crumb stuffing, served with choice of two scrumptious sides, unlimited fresh and delicious sourdough bread, plus a Bluewater Grill bib, all for only  $28.95 (note, a minimum of 15 minutes preparation time required.)

Bluewater Grill co-founder Jimmy Ulcickas wanted to give Californians a tasty treat this holiday season. "Generations of New England families have been going to Boston seafood restaurants like Anthony’s Pier 4 for years to splurge on this local winter delicacy – so we decided to offer a California version for Bluewater Grill customers", explained Ulcickas. "The record availability and low prices of Maine lobster allow us to offer this special meal at an extraordinary price."

Eat, Drink and Be Merry

As no good meal goes without accompaniment, Bluewater Grill is also warming your tummy with their unique Holiday Cranberry Bog Lemon Martini, made with fresh cranberry juice, Absolut® citron, sour mix and a splash of bitters, served in both the bar and dining room. This festive drink is also available on "Martini Thursdays", the restaurants’ popular pre-weekend splurge with half-priced martinis and cosmopolitans from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Shopper’s Special

Bluewater Grill’s only restaurant located in a retail center, The District at Tustin Legacy, introduces a "Holiday Shoppers’ Special" at its new Orange County location. Now through the New Year, holiday shoppers who need a pick-me-up can visit any night except Saturday, between 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m., and indulge in a three-course meal, including choice of wine or dessert, for just $19.99. Available exclusively at the Tustin hang-out, the Shopper’s Special includes choice of seafood, chicken or beef entrée, including the chef’s fresh fish of the day; choice of homemade chowder or salad; and choice of dessert (homemade crème Brule or hot fudge sundae), or a glass of red or white house wine.

About the Bluewater Grill

Established in Newport Beach, California, in 1996, Bluewater Grill is founded on the traditions and rich history of local fishing forefathers. Their philosophy is to work with local fisherman to source the globe for the highest-quality seafood in peak season. Bluewater Grill works with renewable, sustainable fisheries to ensure the restaurant does not take more from nature than nature can handle and that all Maine lobsters served at the their various locations are caught in eco-friendly traps by local Maine lobster harvesters.

Bluewater Grill prints its lunch and dinner menus daily, offering fresh ideas and more than 40 varieties of seafood annually. With a shellfish bar, patio dining, kid’s menu, full bar, and great wine list, Bluewater Grill, owner-operated since its inception, is committed to providing guests with the highest-quality seafood, classically prepared in a friendly, casual atmosphere at a fair price.

Bluewater Grills are located in Newport’s Cannery Village, King Harbor in Redondo Beach and at new The District at Tustin Legacy. Please visit www.bluewatergrill.com to get your holiday groove on.
