Halloween Nightmare
So you have yet another Halloween party looming and your creativity has been squeezed dry, but before you resort to throwing a white sheet over your head, then why not try reinventing something that’s already hanging in your wardrobe? Quick, simple, and you won’t have to spend your pay cheque on a costume that’s just going to collect dust after the party’s over.
Little black dress – push the versatility of that old reliable party outfit to the limit. All you need is an old black cardigan or cheap cape, which the shops are full of at this time of year. Cut bat-shaped wings into the material, pop some black lipstick on and don’t forget to flap your wings! A Breton top - a wardrobe staple for everyone, a navy and white striped top can serve as the perfect sailors outfit. Just throw on some shorts, white shoes and anything nautical looking.International Medical Corps Helps Haiti In Its Long Haul
An Khodabakhsh doesn't require a whole lot of sleep. It's perfectly normal, in fact, for the 33-year-old doctor to work a double shift bandaging up drunks and pulling bullets from teenagers in the emergency room of UCLA's Harbor Medical Center before driving home, scarfing down some takeout, and setting the alarm to wake up five hours later and do it all over again. Every other month or so, Khodabakhsh changes the routine: Instead of going home, he drives to the airport, hops a red-eye to Miami, transfers to Port-au-Prince, and heads directly to some ill-lit clinic in some dusty Haitian town. But one morning last December, stepping out into the chaos and glare of Toussaint Louverture Airport, he was told by his supervisor that he would be skipping the clinic and traveling instead to the city of Les Cayes. The country's nascent cholera epidemic had begun to migrate south, and it was moving fast.Arriving at the coastal city's main hospital, Khodabakhsh didn't know where to look first. The makeshift Cholera Treatment Center consisted of two tents erected in a low-lying area, and the previous night's rainwater was pooled around the legs of its few rickety cots. Bedless patients slumped against a short concrete wall running the length of the tents, awaiting the handful of doctors and nurses wading through the water. The pharmacy and triage areas were flooded, drums of liquid cholera waste were accumulating in the back, and the tents were sweltering--not exactly ideal conditions for victims of a disease that kills by draining the body of fluids.
A striped A-line skirt with a polka dot blouse is feminine and slightly preppy when both pieces are navy blue and white. Or, try a casual Breton striped T-shirt and jeans with a polka dot belt. Consider switching the spots with stars and adding neon
