Web hosting Services (some services) seem to have deleted the saltyt.com url. It will probably be baxk in a few hours. In the meantime, you can find saltyt at saltyt.twoday.net This humble weblog has moved. I'm back to saltyt.com. If you have difficulties reaching it (don't ask, it's a Kafkaian story), try using this alternate direct url: saltyt.twoday.net See you there!http://saltyt.antville.org/stories/294646/ Site News- February 15, 2003 As always, problems of the last minute came up, but it seems that by Monday morning (Paris time), this humble weblog will move to a new URL. I'll post the new address here, but if antville.org will be unavailable, the URL will be posted on saltyt.com as well. I'm happy to inform you that the site will stay entirely free, and there will be no contributions call either. Even better, SALTYT will stay ads-free -- no banners, no pop-ups, no sponsored links, no affiliate merchants etc. Many thx to.http://saltyt.antville.org/stories/293386/ Gisele plays a bit- February 12, 2003 The March issue of W is self-titled "Our big fat March issue", but they could call it simply "The Gisele Issue". It is a kind of egg-chicken thing, but apparently W got a lot of ads from companies using Gisele because it had a giant ed with her -- or maybe vice-versa. To neophytes in the magazine trade: asking advertisers to take advantage of their own model's appearance is sort of OK; to decide upon a model's appearance only by the advertisers contributions is not. It is an ethical...http://saltyt.antville.org/stories/291429/ She certainly doesn't need the catwalk anymore- February 12, 2003 BY TOM TOLEN News Staff Reporter Ann Arbor News HOWELL - A Livingston County jury on Friday awarded more than half a million dollars to a model who was videotaped while she changed clothes in the office of a now-closed Brighton talent agency. The $575,250 award was the verdict of a five-person jury that deliberated for about four hours after listening to two days of testimony in a civil suit filed against the owner of the agency, Dennis McVittie. The award included $325,000 in damages...http://saltyt.antville.org/stories/291414/ Milwaukee again...- February 12, 2003 Couple baring souls in wedding By CORISSA JANSEN JOURNAL SENTINEL Like any bride-to-be, Sherry Olson has a million details to worry about before her big day. But even though she's getting married in three weeks, one thing she isn't obsessing about is the wedding dress. She won't be wearing one. In fact, she won't be wearing anything. Olson and her fiance, Joe Folz, will travel to Jamaica for a Valentine's Day wedding, where the pair from Centuria will join 47 other couples who plan to get..http://saltyt.antville.org/stories/291386/ Yes, but a French accent makes the chicks giggle- February 12, 2003 Scots accent is most loved From The Scotsman A SCOTS tongue may not guarantee you a happy Valentine's Day, but it may improve your chances of at least getting a date, according to a recent poll which named the Scots accent as the sexiest in the UK. Whether it can be traced to Sir Sean Connery's baritone drawl, or Lulu's raspy twang, the accent has narrowly edged out the Irish brogue as the one to melt the hardest of hearts, with four out of ten people in a UK survey saying Scots had the...http://saltyt.antville.org/stories/291380/ Natalia marches on- February 12, 2003 Calvin Klein's advertising budget in magazines is really impressive. 10 pages in Vanity Fair, 10 pages in W - and it's not the same ads! Natalia and Travis look a bit cold (at least compared to the new Dior ads with Gisele), but I have no doubt the campaign is effective. Above is one of the new ads (special thx Roy). I have tons of hi-res I can't post here, but don't worry, on Monday SALTYT will move to a new address, and will have an inauguration bash with great scans. Can't give you the...http://saltyt.antville.org/stories/291119/ Seventeen still on the block- February 12, 2003 From the NY Post Key financial data have begun to surface on Seventeen magazine, which is being raffled off by Primedia CEO Tom Rogers and Primedia's majority owner, Henry Kravis of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. Sources say the so-called "black books" of data are actually pink. The magazine itself had actual revenue of $81.3 million in 2002, according to the pink books, and had what is labeled a "contribution margin" of $16.1 million. However, sources said that the $16.1 million...http://saltyt.antville.org/stories/291109/ Fuller between US and HB- February 12, 2003 February 12, 2003 -- Negotiations between Us Weekly editor-in-chief Bonnie "Long Neck" Fuller and Wenner Media chairman Jann Wenner are going down to the wire. Fuller is pushing for a new three-year, multimillion-dollar deal. She started on March 4, 2002, with a one-year deal - which means the current contract expires in just over two weeks. Despite the last-minute nature of the negotiations, talks between Kent Brownridge, Wenner's numbers guy, and Fuller's Beverly Hills-based...http://saltyt.antville.org/stories/291105/ |
