| The Admirable Crichton |
When it comes to all things image & style we are always
interested - especially when throwing a bash. The Admirable
Crichton is the name behind the world?s most polished
parties. Established in 1981, the Crichton team have worked
in extraordinary places; up snow covered mountains, on
tropical islands, in museums and palaces, on yachts, in
aeroplanes - from London to Moscow, Marrakech to
New York.
From the first call their party designers will work
with you to find the perfect location, decor, wines and music
even down to the tiniest petal placed on a napkin, and we
haven?t yet mentioned their fabulous chefs and food
designers! This talented team?s passion for food is evident
and they relish all challenges from a spectacular formal
banquet to a relaxed dinner for ten.

| We Like... to Bid For Charity |

Last but certainly not least - eBay for Charity is an easy way to
support charities while buying and selling on eBay. Buyers can
bid for charity items knowing that they are helping a worthy
cause and sellers can donate a percentage of their sales to
certified charities.

| Why Image Matters |
Image matters because people often make assumptions based
on limited information. In their book Social Psychology, H.
Andrew Michener, John D. DeLamater and Daniel J. Myers
explain that when we observe a single physical characteristic or
behaviour in someone, we tend to assume that that person has
a number of other qualities too.
For example, someone may be perceived as confident because
they have a firm handshake. They may be seen as trustworthy
because they make eye contact. They may be judged as
capable, professional, successful - even wealthy or intelligent -
because they are well dressed.
The reverse is also true.
