A number of people suffer from the situation of unemployment. Unemployment leads to fund deficiency. It becomes difficult to get money from external sources in the absence of an earning source. Therefore loans for unemployed are meant to provide monetary assistance to the jobless people.

What is meant by loans for unemployed?

The loan application of the unemployed is subjected to more rejection as compared to those of salaried people. One can get funds in both secured and unsecured forms. An individual can avail loan amount ranging from �80- �1500 in case of unsecured whereas secured ones can lend its users with funds equivalent to the value of the asset placed. The interest rates entitled to these loan amounts can vary. The repayment of the borrowed funds must be done as soon as person gets a suitable job.

Is it okay to have a Keratin Treatment During Pregnancy?

Treatment During Pregnancy?
Keratin hair treatments can smoothen and straighten unmanageable locks, and have gained great popularity in the past 6 months. Women are willing to try new beauty items, and salons are quick to want business, but as is the case with anything new, there are precautions to take. You want to research both the treatment and the stylist you are contemplating before taking the plunge. Stay tuned for an informative post with details on how to do so!

While there are many questions women have about keratin treatments, a vital question has popped up quite a few times and there seem to be contradictory answers. That question? �Can I Have a Keratin Treatment While I�m Pregnant (or nursing)?� the manufacturers for these beauty products say no. Salons are split in their opinion; some will, some won�t. And it�s so new that many OB�s are still in dark about what they are or how they work.

The manufacturers� reply is decidedly no, because it is new and no one has done any experiments on how it might affect a baby. But the question is how many women ever contact the manufacturer of the hair color or other products their stylist uses? Why would you? You probably trust your stylist�right? Not to knock hair stylists; we are gifted artists and outgoing professionals, but we aren�t chemists and we surely aren�t Doctors We are keen to see what�s new in beauty and offer it to our clients to make them feel as good as possible. But many salons are promoting these treatments as �all-natural� or �chemical-free,� which is just not true. They do not chemically transform the hair, but as is always said�if they were made of rainbow and butterflies, they wouldn�t last more than 3-6 months! American Culture, the manufacturer of Simply Smooth Keratin Treatment, was kind enough to share their ingredient list:

Simply Smooth ingredients:
WATER, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, CETRIMONIUN CHLORIDE, HYDROLYZED KERATIN, VANILLIN (the chemical name for vanillin, which comes from vanilla, but is still a chemical, is 3-methoxy-4-hydrobenzaldehyde- so much for all-natural!), HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, CETEARETH-20, AMODIMETHICONE, YELLOW 5 (CI 19140), CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, DIMETHICONE, IMIDAZOLIDINYL UREA, FRAGRANCE , ORANGE 5 (CI 15510)

Again, I�m not a chemist, but I�m absolutely sure there�s more than apples and honey in there. Keratin treatments have done wonders for the frizzy gals of the world, and are perfectly secure when applied and processed properly in an appropriate environment. However, there are many things women have in moderation or use regularly, but have to hold back from while they are pregnant.

If you�re a reader of A MOM in Red High Heels, there�s a good chance you�ve already spent several months of your life avoiding alcohol, OTC medications, soft cheeses, soft boiled or over-easy eggs, sushi and certain kinds of fish, cycling or horseback riding, and after that great maternity massage you pouted and passed up the jacuzzi/sauna.
See what some of the most well known keratin treatment companies have to say about receiving the treatment while pregnant or nursing:

Q. Can I receive a Brazilian Blowout in case I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
A. There have been no medical tests performed on the safety of performing the Brazilian Blowout on pregnant women or women who are breastfeeding. As a result, we do counsel against pregnant or breastfeeding women receiving the Brazilian Blowout treatment.

It is said that Keratin Complex is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women. The research or development has not been done satisfactorily and, therefore, experts do not put their stamp of approval.

The Customer Service at Marcia Teixeira�s Brazilian Keratin says, �The option to use our product, or any other chemical treatment during pregnancy and/or nursing is a personal one. When in doubt, we suggest that you seek the advice of your physician.�

Not much room for interpretation there and, hence, the question as to why do some salons offer keratin treatments to women who are pregnant or nursing? Maybe they just don�t know any better or perhaps the manufacturers need to be clearer about that subject in the training? The �training� in some companies is just watching a video presentation. In a reputed salon, experts suggest a keratin treatment information sheet which we go over with the client before starting the service, and that is one of the three main points on it (it also includes a chemical history section so they know your hair�s condition beyond how it looks, and a section telling which product is being used).

Testing has not been done on the repercussions of the treatment, so the manufacturers suggest waiting until you are done nursing before having the treatment done completely.

If you are contemplating a keratin treatment while pregnant, don�t just take the stylist�s word that it�s safe. Ask for all the ingredients and/or brand name and manufacturer, contact them, and run it by your own OB. Remember, your OB isn�t just a hairdresser either and it is important to explain how it will be used. Don�t forget to tell your Doc the formula that will be applied to your hair, blowdried, and then ironed at as much as 450 degrees. During this very last step, there will inescapably be chemical fumes.

Of course you want to look your very best, even if you don�t feel the same. Hopefully your stylists will be able to do some testing and will determine it is safe to use during pregnancy. But meanwhile, if your stylist offers you a �chemical-free� way to flatten your hair, make sure it should be a simple flat iron that he uses.

CMT Awards Fug Carpet: Nicole Kidman

We've been a little hard on Nicole Kidman occasionally, especially how she ALLEGEDLY seems to have jacked up her former face with so much paralyzing Botox. But I have to say, I am not one of those conspiracy theorists who believes she's faking the pregnancy, because a) that's insane; b) this is not Passions, as much as I wish it were and that Zombie Kidman would start showing up at events, although maybe she DID and that explains why Nic seemed a bit bodysnatched the last year or so; c) she looks pregnant in ways that are hard to fake, like her face; d) I can't think of a good reason why Nicole Kidman would need to go through all the rigamarole to fake something like that when she's adopted before, and also, again, NOT INSANE; e) she's got a glow lately, and it really suits her.

I don't really even care about the dress, although that ruby color is fantastic on her. What grabbed me was the loose, flirty, relaxed hair and what appears to be a genuine smile -- those are things she's been missing for a while, in favor of looking really pulled-tight and rigid and wan. Now if only she would get in line behind Nicole Richie at the Los Angeles Clinic For Looking Like Healthy And Lovely Like This All The Time And Not Just When You're Knocked Up, we'd be in business.

Fool's Fug...Kind Of

KATE HUDSON: Pose, Matthew! Pose! STRIKE IT!

MATT MCCONAWHOOLAHAY: I am posing. This is my Blue Steel.

KATE: You look so handsome in a suit. I'm used to seeing you running around without a shirt on. You're WAY TAN, dude.

MATT: Dude. I'm outdoorsy. I'm constantly stoked and wowed by nature, you know? Of course I have a tan. I'm not some kind of uptight desk monkey, man.

KATE: This pose hurts my chin.

MATT: I'm scared of your dress.

KATE: What do you mean? The color is amazing!

MATT: Yeah. It is. But those sleeves. And those thingers on the end of the sleeves, man. They're like....chains.

KATE: Yeah, they're cool. Right?

MATT: What if you get mad at me and whip me across the face with one of them? That would hurt, man. That would not be cool.

KATE: Do you really think I would do that?

MATT: Shit's unpredictable, man. Shit's unpredictable.

KATE: You got so weird, living in that trailer.


Give it up for Kelly Preston, you guys! No, really! Put your hands together and clap!

We haven't had a good scroll-down fug in a long, long time, and I just wanted to make sure that we all celebrated it appropriately. It takes A LOT of work to take what is ostensibly a lovely dress and arrange for it to: (a) cling unflatteringly to your tights (b) be entirely the wrong length, and (c) pair it with the clod-hoppers I wore to Edwards Cinemas the night I saw Reality Bites for the second time. So, BRAVO, Kelly! BRAVO!

The Parent Fug

Okay, so I'm sure there are way cooler things to love Natasha Richardson for, but mine is her part in The Parent Trap, a.k.a. the Crossroads of Lindsay Lohan's career -- you know, the flick that's hard to watch because she was so cute and innocent then and you had no idea she was going to fry the red out of her hair and turn into a leggings-wrapped hellchild. Natasha plays her mom, and she's really endearing in it, and what can I say? I'm a sap.

Don't you just LOVE when there's a "however," though? And there is one.

I'm not denying that she's got great gams, but is this not a tiny bit lingerie-influenced? By which I mean, straight out of the Trashy Lingerie storefront? I would expect Lindsay's ACTUAL mother to cavort around town in her skivvies, because she's awful. Natasha Richardson, though, seems more normal and low-key than all that -- certainly not the type to stoke the fires of her primary breadwinner's problems (allegedly, etc.) and then allow her other, younger daughter to look 14-going-on-34 so she can exploit her on a reality show.

How did this fug become all about how I think Dina Lohan is gross? I'd better finish this before it becomes a treatise on the emotional glories of The Biggest Loser and the various taste differences between Diet Coke and Coca-Cola Light. Suffice to say that this outfit, despite her fab figure and general bodaciousness, looks as if Natasha thought she was walking into a grand romantic gesture by Liam Neeson and not, in fact, a film festival party. Unless they were killing two birds with one venue. Hey, whatever keeps the home fires stoked.

Fuglee Sobieski

Well, at least she's clothed.

But somehow Leelee Sobieski comes off looking not like a nice young actress, but rather somebody's wicked stepmother from a 1980s soap -- one on which, say, she just married Morgan Fairchild's father in a scandalous February-to-December union, and so we are treated to a number of scenes in which Morgan slinks around the house teasing up her hair and sneering, "Hello, MOTHER," as Leelee swans by in a cloud of linebacker shoulder pads and billowing sleeves. I'm pretty sure there would be a part in it for Emma Samms also, with the occasional appearance by Young Pierce Brosnan as a corporate rogue with dollar-signs in his eyes and fur-covered handcuffs in his heart.

And while that show would be awesome, that ship has probably sailed, so Leelee might need to go ahead and put away the bathrobe before she's relegated to playing a young Meredith Baxter-no-longer-Birney in a Lifetime movie about all the Lifetime movies she's made.

Si. Fuggian's

"Yeah, that's right, I'm Mischa Barton and I'm wearing a bathroom rug as a jacket. What of it? You'd rather I had another greasepig boyfriend with me instead? A total clap-incubator who's about to pass out on a pool of vomit he freshly delivered onto my feet? I DIDN'T THINK SO. Bet the coat's not looking so bad to you NOW."

Fug or Fab: This Week(Ish) In Gwyneth

Gird your loins -- with Iron Man hitting theaters this weekend, we're going to continue seeing a lot of Gwyneth Paltrow.

And I do mean a lot. Gwynnie must've gone on a Gam Rediscovery Retreat recently, because she's been skipping all around town in the kind of short skirts we're more used to seeing ride up around the pantyless pelvises of Young Hollywood as they slide out of cars.

Not that it's all a complaint. The girl's got great legs. It's just that I'm not always sure about the stuff she's using to show them off to us.

It's short, but more distracting is all the lattice work. Like, is there a nude slip under there, or is she just feeling naked and racy today? Am I bewitched by an optical illusion, or is it cutting her chest weirdly around her armpits and making her look unnaturally bulgey in places where, in reality, she almost certainly has no bulge? Doesn't that Bermuda Triangle of fabric on her groin make it look like she's wearing a black cloth diaper? And is there a weird face staring at me from her boobular region? And In concept I wanted to love this, but in life, it's like wearing a Rorschach ink blot. I feel like people were coming up to her all night and saying, "Ooh, it's death! The Angel of Death!" or "I see a Rolls Royce!" or "Is that a DOG that looks like Princess Leia?"

Fugprete Housefugs

I feel like I see Andrea Bowen more on the red carpet than I do on Desperate Housewives lately, which is a shame, because she's cute on the show. I imagine she'd like a little more screen time, too, hence this call for help:

Oh, girl. Somehow you look like you stumbled into a Lifetime Movie in which you play Sharon Lawrence's pregnant teen daughter, who insists on attending her prom despite the pearl-clutching protests of the school board. Pregnant Prom Queen, let's call it. The teen father, of course, will turn out to be a lout, but Sharon will find love in the arms of Bruce Boxleitner, the high school principal who goes to bat for Andrea despite his disapproval of premarital sex. All of which would make an entertainingly cheesetastic movie, but as a fashion choice on a young, pretty, slender actress, it MIGHT be a mistake.

Fugs Of Our Lives

Well, I've arrived. I knew I was eyeing real-estate in the neighborhood of My, These Kids Today, but it appears I've bought land and am getting ready to build my dream house there, complete with a porch on which I can sit in a rocking chair and scream at the local urchins through a bullhorn.

Meet Ashley Benson, formerly of Days Of Our Lives and currently doing a TV movie about Texas cheerleaders who go nuts, or something equally terrible-sounding that I will totally watch:

Navy is a wonderful color, but what's up with wanting to look like a laundry pile? I mean, sure, some of my clothes have taken that shape, but only when they're lying on the floor next to my hamper, waiting for me to remember to take them to the dry-cleaner. Perhaps there are some ads on her back for Milt & Edie's Professional Cleaning, or some killer coupons people are encouraged to clip throughout the night.

Of course, maybe I'm just old and crotchety on this Friday afternoon, and she looks totally fine and it's all just artsy and stylistic and cool. So while I personally would like to take a steamer to the skirt and then see what we're left with, I'll throw it up to a vote while I retreat to my front porch and get ready to chase some ragamuffins with a rolled-up newspaper.


Heilie Clothing Fashion Show

ramona afonso vicky nunanThe ladies from Heilie Clothing held THE FASHION SHOW OF THE YEAR last night at their showroom in Winchester Hills. The whole idea was to free your mind and let go of your inhibitions… Glass Angels was the inspiration for the fashion show and fittingly some models wore “wings” with their various outfits.

They made a funky runway down through a passage which was aptly decorated with disco balls hanging from the roof (this really completed the look and feel of the clothing and jewellery.

south african fashion designer
Every model walked down this catwalk looking like she owned the world and the only explanation for this is that clothing from Heilie fashion are cut in such a way that you feel sexy and comfortable (which is a bonus for every woman wanting to look beautiful)

There was something for each and every personality type. Barbara-Anne Puren was the MC and entertained guests with her Angelic voice and her saxophone (very cool)

There was “catsuits” with various accessories like a corsette waist, beautifully cut jackets and trenchcoats and some even had a big flower or two adorning the shoulders…

Paris Hilton



Can't a girl get a break?

Although Paris Hilton has cleaned up her act considerably, she won’t be allowed to attend this year’s Oktoberfest festivities. But it’s not because of her bad behavior in the past.

Organizers at this year’s event have put regulations into place that prevent companies from hiring celebrities to hype their products. So it’s not like it’s personal.

Gabrielle Weishaeupl of a German tourist board said that using celebrity promotions “are completely prohibited by the new festival rules.” But they never said that celebrity attendees were outlawed, right?

Maybe Paris will take her new 20-year-old Swedish boytoy to the festival with her. Blasting reports that she’s with Adrian Grenier, new rumors are spreading that the 26-year-old heiress is spending some serious time with 20-year-old Alex Vaggo.

According to a source, "Alex is obviously smitten with Paris and is clearly falling for her. Paris thinks he's really sweet and gorgeous. He's traveling through town, and one of Paris' friends met him and introduced them. He's really shy.”
