LONDON, ENGLAND, July 22, 2012 (Press-News.org) Vintage and retro fashion styles have become bigger and bigger over the last few years, with the 20s, 40s and 60s all playing a key part in mainstream fashion over the last year. Dropped waists, graphic prints and pencil skirts have all had their time and come back for a second round, while the Marcel wave and beehives have been spotted on twenty-first century girls everywhere. Here's how to choose your hosiery to complement your look...
20s
The 20s was the decade of artistic liberation, dancing and fabulous fashion. Flapper girl style drop waist dresses will help you to Charleston your way to a great 20s look, finished with marcel waved hair and opaque stockings for a retro feel or embellished tights for a touch of glitz. We especially love the Levante 50D Suede Matte Opaque stockings , which are luxuriously soft to the touch and will make you feel gorgeous. This look was huge on the catwalks last year and is still going strong - just last week Katy Perry attended the Spirit of Life Awards in full flapper get-up (pearls, headpiece and dipped hem dress), and Kate Moss has also been spotted in a twinkling beaded flapper style dress.
40s
The 40s: a decade of, for the most part, rationing and austerity, teamed with some truly innovative fashion. Seamed stockings and seamed hold ups such as the Pamela Mann Jive Seamed Stockings will help you to get the perfect 40s look - team them with pencil skirts, chiffon blouses and super high heels. Katherine Heigl has worn seamed tights from Pretty Polly in the past, so you'll be in good company - plus we've seen Kirsten Dunst sporting a very 40s look with a polka dot blouse and a pleated skirt. Polka dots are another iconically 40s design, so add spotty tights to your look for an instant wardrobe update.
Top Tip: When wearing seamed hosiery, make sure you get dressed in front of a mirror and check your reflection from the back so they're not wonky!
60s
Printed or patterned tights with 60s style prints are the best way to get a look that's great for giving a nod to the trend without going overboard. Think oranges, green and browns, with any design that is bold and striking. Our favourite is the Green Pucci design from US hosiery designer Celeste Stein. Available in tights, footless tights or knee high socks, the swirling graphic design in green, black, white and grey is ideal for getting the 60s look. This look isn't short of famous fans, either - fashion icon Alexa Chung is a big 60s devotee and is regularly spotted in knee high socks, shift dresses and peter pan collars.
Whichever era you love and however you style it, you can add the perfect finishing touch with the range of tights, stockings and socks at MyTights.com.

Laser Hair Removal is Key to Sleek Athletic Look
2012-07-22
Dr. Grant Stevens says he has seen a recent surge in laser hair removal among Los Angeles men and women. The Southern California plastic surgeon, whose locale allows him to keep abreast of the most current trends in cosmetic body enhancement, sees a striking correlation between the Summer Olympics and his patients' desire to be hair-free.

Plastic Surgeon Comments on Success of Gummy Bear Breast Implants
2012-07-22
Dr. Grant Stevens of Marina Plastic Surgery says more Los Angeles breast augmentation patients are taking advantage of the new cohesive-gel silicone implants known as gummy bears.

What is a Patch Panel and Why is it Needed for a Computer Server Rack?
2012-07-22
Assembling hardware is normally arranged so the number of similar or same circuits appears on jacks. This makes it more convenient for monitoring, interconnecting as well as testing all circuits, in a flexible manner. Patch panels make it a lot easier for IT technicians to rapidly change paths of selected signals and this makes it very cost effective. There is no extra expense of dedicated switching equipment so the money saved can be substantial.Typically a shorter patch cable plugs into the front side of the panel and at the back holds a connection which is much longer ...
Employee Satisfaction and Talent Acquisition: Why Wellbeing is a Must
2012-07-22
In the current employment market, small and medium enterprise (SME) employers need to do everything possible to attract and retain the best staff. And while it's true that SME organisations have traditionally scored well on important points such as employee satisfaction, there are always opportunities for gaining an edge over the competition and demonstrating how staff are valued - such as providing private medical insurance for employees.
Currently it looks like there are challenges for UK organisations in terms of employee satisfaction and engagement generally - and ...
Holiday Turned Upside Down By Sudden Cardiac Arrest
2012-07-22
Dance enthusiast Amy Nichole Banner had her holiday turned upside down when her dancing partner Richard's heart stopped. His friends had already noticed "the colour drain from his face" and rushed over to help.
Amy was first on the scene and quickly established that Richards's heart was not beating. As a mere coincidence she had completed a 3 day first aid course just days before and because of this knew the correct CPR ratios. From this point onwards she took the role of group leader in what would need to be a heroic team effort:
"It was important ...
