Review: V-Moda Crossfade LP
Though V-Moda has impressed across a number of different design and engineering categories over the past two years, its biggest innovations have been physical rather than sonic, and Crossfade LP benefits from many of them. Even putting aside the cool packaging—a matte-finished, metallic inked hexagonal box with a leather-like strap and snapped tab on top—the remainder of the contents all enjoy ...

It’s all about leather belts

A belt is a flexible band, typically made of leather or heavy cloth, and worn around the waist. A belt supports trousers or other articles of clothing, and it serves for style and decoration.

Belts have been documented for male clothing since the Bronze Age. Both sexes used them off and on, depending on the current fashion, but it was a rarity in female fashion with the exception of the early Middle Ages, late 17th century Mantua, and skirt/blouse combinations between 1900 and 1910. Art Nouveau belt buckles are now collector's items.

Men's belts should be fed around the waste in a clockwise direction so that the tail is pointing to the right. The convention for women is reversed. This follows many tailoring conventions where by the left side of the item of clothing overlaps the right hand side.

It is thought this convention arose in Medieval times such that Knights may fasten their buttons with their left hand while still holding a sword right-handed.

Different materials are used for the manufacturing of belts. Some are made out of leather, synthetic leather, plastic, rubber, canvass, woven textile, indigenous material, beads and metals or any combination of these. Each of these materials have their own advantages and own aesthetic appeal. Majority, however, still rely on using leather belts.

Belts made of leather are still in vogue even with the advent of belts made of newer fabrics and other materials like plastic, jute and reptile skins. However, it is very important to take very good care of leather belts, as they are more prone to deterioration than any other materials used to make belts.

Features

Leather belts can come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors and decorations. Some leather belts have beading on them as you might see at a Native American Powow, others have designs cut into them, while others may even have painting on them. Leather belts come with or without buckles, some have leather straps to tie around your waist, others have a hole and a hook that grabs onto it. With the advent of the leather belt as a fashion accessory, the sky is the limit when it comes to design.

Leather belts can be made from many different types of animals depending on the style of belt. While most are made from cow hide as this is more readily available than most other types of leather, some are made from leather cured from a deer or elk skin, and even rabbit skin is a possibility though not as common. Even reptiles aren't left out of the realm of possibilities as evidenced by alligator skin belts.

Leather belts are classic pieces that never lose its touch. Leather is pliable and durable and those qualities make it ideal to used for belts. Adding to that, the leather belt has its timeless aesthetic value that livens up any ensemble. Though, the leather material could grow molds and mildew when it has not been used for a long time, it is still the most practical. The maintenance for any leather material is as simple as using them everyday or keeping them in a moisture-free place. There are also oils, balms and conditioner that can be purchased to preserve it.

U.S. Man Held in Pakistan Had Sights on Bin Laden
A Californian on a self-proclaimed mission was headed to the area where Osama Bin Laden is thought to be hiding.

In Before The Knife Carolyn Slaughter describes her childhood, a fraught, anxious prelude to an adulthood that continued to suffer from its heritage. She tells us early on in the book what caused this anguish, and what gave rise to its associated self-pity, self-abuse and anger. She was raped by her father at the age of six. But then the book unfolds almost without another mention of the trauma until its reality is finally recognized, long after the father, the self-tortured mother, and even the younger sister have gone to their graves.

Carolyn Slaughter's life, though not fully acknowledged in the book, could only have been lived in a narrow window of history. The British Empire, always eager to install a white face in a position of colonial authority where people of race might not be trusted, elevated many lower middle class émigrés to effective aristocracy. It meant that they could only feel at home, that is, only attain the status they assumed, if they lived outside of the Sceptred Isle. Carolyn's mother had been born and brought up in India. She had grown used to a life with servants, where sewing, cooking and cleaning could be delegated to the competent. This created time for the important things in life, like deciding what to wear for dinner, what would go with what, and whether the lunch invitees would gel. Not that there were many expatriates to invite in the Kalahari Desert.

Carolyn Slaughter seems to have lived an itinerant's life. More significantly she seems to have adopted an itinerant relationship with life. It happened as a result of denial, as a result of not accepting or acknowledging what happened to her. The father, a shop worker back home, was a District Commissioner in the Empire when his white face provided his main qualification. His wife, Carolyn's mother, unable to accept what the daughter had told her or, indeed what evidence proved, slumped into a private depression that never left her.

The author's African childhood was almost wholly unhappy, even depressing. Her tantrums angered others, her self-abuse threatened her own life, and yet the father who was the source of the tragedy soldiered on, apparently stoically, delivering whatever duty the assumptions of Empire might demand.

There were times when I lost touch with the sense of depression and foreboding, periods in the book when I knew things were lighter and brighter than the reminiscences suggested. Occasionally, the weight being borne got too much. But then I had a happy childhood, without abuse, indeed with love, affection, and support throughout, so who am I to criticize this insight into a world I never knew?

So, towards the end of the account, when the horror of the abuse can be re-lived in later life and thus partially expunged, we can sense the destructive havoc it has wreaked through the family's life. It's a rather one-paced account, but the seriousness of its focus justifies its form.
