Talk fashion and talk brand names. Talk style and talk choice. Talk service and talk free worldwide shipping. Talk kickstime.com.
Kickstime.com is an online company specializing in clothing, shoes and accessories for men, women and kids. And we’re talking only about famous brands here—the product range is as wide a you can imagine—starting off with Bapesta Bathing Ape, LRG, Evisu and True Religion, BBC Ice Cream, Red Monkey, Seven, Rock & Republic… and more in jeans.
I found the shoes range to be exhaustive. One of the fun deals of shopping online at kickstime.com is that you get to read a little ‘history’ of the product you’re going to buy, and since they’re all famous names, they all have a story!
The company has recently added new Gucci shoes & Prada boots, as well as a complete range of all the famous Nike’s. Now, are you wondering about the authenticity of the products?
The FAQ section on the website claims that the products are factory variant and not authentic. It also claims that while the products are replicas, all the symbols, colors and materials are all exact matches to the originals, with the same packing.
Kickstime.com charges no shipping & handling (includes international orders), no tax, no hidden fees, and the orders are shipped the same day …. plus, at the moment, they’re holding a ‘blow-out’ sale; everything at $79.95. You can even order on the toll-free phone 1-866-433-4487.

Luxury Italian fashion house Tod’s has tapped Sienna Miller to represent their latest products, posing for its fall-winter 2007-’08 advertising campaign.
This marks the first time ever the accessories and ready-to-wear brand is using a celebrity to endorse its line of bags, shoes and clothing collection.
Actress and tabloid popular Sienna Miller flew into New York for a weekend photo shoot at Megu in TriBeCa, straight from the set of The Edge of Love, co-starring Keira Knightley. Mikael Jansson shot Miller with the fall 2008 collection, overseen by Derek Lam, Tod’s creative director.
“Sienna manages to make every man fall head-over-heels in love with her, and every woman wants to be her, as well as to be her best friend,” said Lam. “What more can you ask for as the embodiment of the Tod’s philosophy?”

Tod’s president Diego Della Valle claimed Sienna as an ideal choice because she “is the perfect embodiment of Tod’s style and philosophy: a young woman, with a charming and sophisticated elegance.”
The campaign will debut worldwide in August in major fashion and lifestyle publications.

When I was offered an opportunity to write a review on leftoffme.com, I knew immediately it would be win-win situation. How often do you get paid to browse a site full of quality photos of beautiful, hot and sexy Thai girls? Right? WRONG!
I just got an email from reviewme.com saying that the advertiser has cancelled the campaign and that I will not be paid. How COOL is that?
I wouldn’t hazard a guess as to who is more cheap – reviewme.com or leftoffme.com, but I figure since I’ve worked so much on the review, I’ll let it pass. This is charity for reviewme.com! lol
Leftofme.com (What’s ‘left of me’??? I ought to let you have the pleasant surprise of discovering for yourself—there’s a really cute explanation on the About page of the site.) is very easy on the eyes, and the pictures, easier! The author publishes pictures of—you guessed it—beautiful, hot and sexy Thai and Asian girls who are in the news.
Each and every photo is augmented with the author’s comments as if he is an authority. You’ll find a quick intro to who she is, what’s her claim-to-fame, what she’s doing currently, plus some gossip thrown in as well as the author’s personal comment (who asked for it any way) about the ‘hotness’ of the girls. He also provides for more than one shot of each model/celebrity in different poses and backgrounds. He’s just assuming what what men want, anyways.
While the design is uncluttered with soft shades (and boring), I wonder if the logo text (Thai Scans: Magazine scan of beautiful, hot, sexy Thai girls) is easily readable, since part of it typed against a dark background. Besides, I really believe that a site like leftofme.com deserves a much better header. The one that I saw (screenshot above) sucked and was depressing.
If you’re looking for variety, try browsing through the categories—maybe you’ll find something to read in ‘Tips’ or some fun video clips in ‘Uncategorized’. I hope we’ll be able to see more in the ‘International’ category, since this site is moving fast, and drawing attention.
As I’m writing this, the subscribers to RSS feeds is showing 5706, and that’s mighty impressive. When I finish writing this, it will show 5707.
This is a leftofme.com charity review.

The ‘Break It Off’ singer Rihanna is the new face of make-up line ‘CoverGirl’. She will be seen in the beauty brand’s new advertising campaign starting later this month.
The 19-year-old Pop/R&B star is very excited about the new project, and finds it is ‘fit’ for her, as it has to do with make-up.
“I always wanted to be a CoverGirl. Every little girl wants to become one,” Rihanna reportedly told Contactmusic. “CoverGirl has worked with other music artists and the brand itself is about make-up. What’s not to like? It’s a natural fit for me.”
Some of the other celebs who have modelled for the company are singer/actress Brandy, model/actress Molly Sims, Faith Hill, supermodel Tyra Banks, actress Queen Latifah and Drew Barrymore.
Meanwhile, the artist has just been added to the performance listr of Live Earth, a 24-hour concert event scheduled for 07/07/07 on all seven continents. The effort is aimed at raising awareness of global warming.
Meanwhile, get to know Rihanna a little better:
