2019 Monaco Grand Prix highlights, on and off the track
Jetsetters, celebrities and VIPs were out in force to watch the race action and party at the 2019 Monaco Grand Prix. Highlights were many – on and off the track – but Lewis Hamilton certainly wrote a new page in the history of motorsport by clinching his third Monaco Grand Prix win after a very tense race. Monaco’s homegrown talent Charles Leclerc had a difficult weekend, first in the qualifying session, where a misjudgement by the Ferrari team resulted in him qualifying 16th, then on the big day, where a puncture put an end to his race. While the safety car was on the track to remove debris resulting from this incident, Valterri Bottas (Mercedes) Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari) and Max Verstappen (Red Bull) switched to hard tyres but Mercedes put Hamilton on mediums, leading him to drive 67 laps on tyres designed to last for no more than 50.

According to one survey, 72% people own a Digital assistant (voice) and consider it as a part of their daily routine.

Fashion Police needed: The Return Of The Crop Look!
This week, we tried to join the Fashion Police because we cannot support one important thing: The return of the Crop! Seriously, it is a NO GO. With a certain revival of the 80’s / 90’s right now, we could see it not only in the streets but also in the catwalks and red carpets. Help! It took a long time for the crop top to materialize in the West, partly due to a colder climate and partly because of Western fashion history’s notoriously puritanical dress code. It was during the late 40’s that crops started appearing in some looks thanks to the influence of orientalism. Belly dancers were at that time an icon for fashion. Following decades would be the golden age for the crop top. A toned body and sportswear were trendy in the 1980’s, and the crop was perfect for showcasing that. The “aerobic” look- a cropped sweater…
