LAS VEGAS, NV, April 12, 2011 (Press-News.org) The fashion industry has stood up and taken notice of the power behind these statistics. It's no secret that people like to save money whenever they can and fashion shoppers are no exception. While there are thousands of bargains that are highly advertised, many more are available exclusively through representatives such as Black Top Shopping. Today, the company announced the launch of registration at http://blacktopshopping.com for their members rewards program the "Gold Card Fashion Pass" which will give them access to these private sales starting April 19th. With more than 300 merchants on the roster, Black Top Shopping members will be able to save as much as 50% on fashion apparel, shoes, jewelry, home furnishings, make-up, perfumes, accessories and body care products.

In addition to discounts, fashion lovers are always on a quest for fresh expressions of style. On February 14th Black Top Shopping launched its website with a commitment to bring online shoppers a new way to satisfy their craving for excitement. Developing a social network focused on fashion with an accent on the beautiful new designs of emerging designers includes a fashion marketplace geared toward helping them open their first "boutique."

During an interview about the new campaign, the company president, David E. Smith stated: "Very few young designers can afford to produce enough inventory required to be sold by large stores. With their own boutique they are in control; whether they have one item or one hundred items they want to sell. And they will have a built-in shopping audience to appreciate their designs. They can also participate in the Fashion Pass reward program."

This was the main purpose behind the creation of the Black Top Shopping fashion social network; to give emerging designers another resource to forward their career while expanding their circle of friends, keeping up with the latest fashion industry news and trends. One item is all a designer needs to begin increasing their exposure or start gaining attention for their talent. The Fashion Marketplace opens on May 1st and registration includes marketing advertising banners and inclusion in the sales newsletter .

While the Gold Card Fashion Pass is not a credit card, Black Top Shopping is working to establish relationships with merchants to honor Fashion Pass card holding members. Until this becomes a reality, each new member is sent their free Fashion Pass widget which can be displayed on their website, blog or Facebook page. "We are really excited about the response we have received since the Valentine's Day launch party for the website." Smith continued by saying, "We are proud of our members and we wanted to give them more than just a confirmation email when they register. The Gold Card Fashion Pass is our way of showing appreciation for their support and supporting them by giving them more ways to save money when they shop online."

The Black Top Shopping Marketplace is also ideal for small businesses; fashion boutiques who want to have an online presence without the intensive labor required to create and maintain a website on their own. The big difference here is that there are no fees required to set up a boutique, once a member joins they simply submit an application with photos of their fashion item or items that they have created and want to sell. If the application is approved, the boutique can be set up within 24 hours.

Discount coupons are not a new idea -but they're still a great idea, especially when it comes to fashion. Because who wants to have only one pair of fabulous shoes? You can register for the Black Top Shopping "Gold Card Fashion Pass" at http://blacktopshopping.com.

Black Top Shopping is a division of D and DS Subsidiaries, Inc. a progressive company focused on bringing innovation to the online shopping experience.

"Judgmentless Gospel" Is No Gospel at All, Author Says, Refuting Rob Bell's Controversial New Book "Love Wins"

2011-04-12
Will only a few select people make it to heaven? Will billions of people spend eternity in hell? Many people are angry with God for allowing evil and suffering to exist in this world, and yet they are also angry with the idea of God as judge. You can't have it both ways, says Trevin Wax, associate pastor of First Baptist Church in Shelbyville, Tenn., and author of the new book Counterfeit Gospels: Rediscovering the Good News in a World of False Hope. "If you expect God to do something about the evil in this world, then you want God to judge," Wax explains. The ...

Hair styles may contribute to scarring hair loss in African-American women

2011-04-12

"Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) is a term coined by the North American Hair Research Society to describe a scarring hair loss, centered on the vertex of the scalp, that spreads peripherally," the authors write ...

Study finds physicians recommend different treatments for patients than they choose for themselves

2011-04-12
The act of making a recommendation appears to change the way physicians think regarding medical choices, and they often make different choices for themselves than what they recommend to patients, according to a survey study published in the April 11 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. "Patients facing difficult decisions often ask physicians for recommendations," the authors write as background information in the study. "However, little is known regarding the ways that physicians' decisions are influenced by the act of making a recommendation." Peter ...

Genetic study offers insight into the social lives of bees

Genetic study offers insight into the social lives of bees
2011-04-12
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Most people have trouble telling them apart, but bumble bees, honey bees, stingless bees and solitary bees have home lives that are as different from one another as a monarch's palace is from a hippie commune or a hermit's cabin in the woods. A new study of these bees offers a first look at the genetic underpinnings of their differences in lifestyle. The study focuses on the evolution of "eusociality," a system of collective living in which most members of a female-centric colony forego their reproductive rights and instead devote themselves to specialized ...

Protein could improve recovery from heart attacks

2011-04-12
Angiogenesis, the development of new blood vessels, is required during embryonic development and wound healing, as well as during disease processes such as tumor growth. The signals that direct angiogensis are incompletely understood, but could represent novel targets for the development of therapies that promote or inhibit this process. In this paper, Young-Guen Kwon and colleagues, of Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea, investigated the role of two related proteins- DKK1 and DKK2- in angiogenesis. These proteins are known to have similar functions in inhibiting a particular ...

Physicists discover new way to visualize warped space and time

Physicists discover new way to visualize warped space and time
2011-04-12
PASADENA, Calif.—When black holes slam into each other, the surrounding space and time surge and undulate like a heaving sea during a storm. This warping of space and time is so complicated that physicists haven't been able to understand the details of what goes on—until now. "We've found ways to visualize warped space-time like never before," says Kip Thorne, Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics, Emeritus, at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). By combining theory with computer simulations, Thorne and his colleagues at Caltech, Cornell University, ...
