Uncategorized - 1 year ago - admin
More than 680 business executives and CEOs from across Australia wore silk pyjamas on a winter night last Thursday to take part in the inaugural National Vinnies CEO sleepout. These executives exchanged their formal suits to silk pyjamas for a good cause.
The initiative was said to have taken place in all of the country’s capital cities in exception of Hobart. The activity raised more than $2 million and the proceeds will help the needy and homeless.
In Sydney alone, nearly 200 hundred CEOs slept at Luna Park in their silk pyjamas despite the weather nearly reaching zero degrees.
For their dinner, the CEOs lined up for a simple meal composed of a bread roll and a cup of soup.
Vinnies CEO John Picot said that more than a hundred thousand people are homeless in Australia and thousands go to Vinnies to look for a bed to sleep in for the night.

Uncategorized - 1 year ago - admin
She might find it easier to model satin lingerie for magazine covers and pages, but this time, supermodel Rosie Huntington – Whiteley will have to exert more effort as she takes on the role vacated by Megan Fox in the third installment of the blockbuster film “Transformers.”
According to Hollywood sources, the 23-year old Elle Magazine’s “Model of the Year” will be the new love interest of male lead actor Shia Labeuof.
The model is definitely new to acting but the director of “Transformers,” Michael Bay, already knew her potential from the time he directed her in a lingerie commercial in 2009. The sequel of this highly anticipated film is slated for release by summer next year.
Several models were considered for the role vacated by Fox. Such models were Ashley Green, Brooklyn Decker and Gemma Arterton.

A lingerie model and former beauty queen was finally arrested after several months of eluding the authorities in Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina.
According to authorities, lingerie model Angie Sanclemente Valencia was arrested over international drug trafficking charges. The 30-year old former beauty queen was accused of leading a drug smuggling operation wherein she uses fellow models to traffic cocaine from Argentina to Europe.
Valencia was arrested at a hostel located in the city’s Palermo area. Her mother, Jeanette Valencia, stressed to the media that her daughter is not guilty of the charges filed against her and is just a victim of a “conspiracy.”
Valencia has been eluding the authorities since December of last year, the time when the arrest warrant has been issued. The operation was exposed after one of the model-smugglers was apprehended in Mexico, carrying nearly 60 kgs of cocaine.
