Outside the tropics we experience four seasons – Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Fall, and Winter. These occur because the Earth’s axis about which it rotates once a day is tilted at an angle relative to the Earth’s orbit around the sun

Most tote bags are fundamentally just glorified shopping bags. You can bung a swanky logo and brand name on the front of it, but it’s still little more than a bag for life. This is the only one I’ve seen in a while that I’d make an exception for, as it’s such a stylish and regal looking bag in its own right: perhaps that’s why it’s described as a ‘tote handbag’

title pic Real ‘Runaways’ Laud Stewart, Fanning

Photo from fOTOGLIF Joan Jett, executive producer of film The Runaways starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, was a regular on the set of the movie, as was bandmate Cherie Currie, (Fanning). Jett and Stewart struck up a friendship, and Stewart told the LA Times that she “would have felt like such a fraud” had she played the part of Joan Jett without Jett’s input. As for Currie, she was moved to tears when she saw Fanning’s dead-on version of the song “Cherry Bomb.” Director Floria Sigismondi, who has directed music videos for Christina Aguilera and Marilyn Manson did things a little differently with The Runaways, keeping everything gritty and real, as opposed to her more slick, stylized turns with music videos.
