Paris Hilton Almost Arrested In Dubai

We just talked last week about how Paris was in Dubai filming for the Dubai version of "My New BFF". Right after the much publicized press conference, Paris found herself in major trouble with Dubai officials after she was seen in her bikini on the beach enjoying herself and posing sexually.

It actually got so bad that she had to hire a team of experts to avoid getting arrested during her stay in Dubai. According to sources, Paris was terrified that she would get into trouble and her bosses warned her that an arrest is likely and has happened to many tourist.

The rules are strict in Muslim countries, and celebrity or not you have to respect those rules!

Reality TV has really taken over the world. Fashion icon, Paris Hilton was in Dubai this week, and for the next 2 weeks, to shoot Paris Hilton's Dubai BFF. If you haven't seen the American version of Parish Hilton's BFF, then you can't fully understand the impact the heiress has over young adults.

The show features contestants who dutifully flock and compete to become Paris Hilton's best friend. However, the popularity of the reality TV show isn't the reason most believe Paris is in Dubai. Apparently, she's Dubai new PR because of the recent negative media reports and the property market which has crashed.

Paris' new tag line...."Dubai: It's hot!" We are not sure where this is going, but we'll keep a close eye out for any breaking news.

The new collection will be launched in September in Japan, even though her birthday isn't until November 1st...but like the diva she is, she'll celebrate all year. If you never understood the Hello Kitty phenomenon, then you'll understand after you read this.

The British embassy in Tokyo threw an early birthday party for Hello Kitty. But why Britain? Why did the Japanese choose this as the place for their number one selling icon? According to Yuko Yamaguchi, Hello Kitty designer, London was a place that Japanese girls have been admiring since the 1970's.

Definitely a great choice for a global fashionista!

Upscale Shopping Centers Slowly Take Over Europe

Ahh... the upscale shopping center. The place where middle and upper class citizens across the world get their luxury goods... especially when they live in a city that's deemed less than fashionable.

The shopping center has been around for years, especially in the west, where the need for instant gratification, luxury fashion, and the high end designer lines reached as far out as rural areas who have never seen a Saks Fifth Ave or a Nordstorms.

Last week, in Berlin, beyond the Prussian guards and a quaint little village, the Berlin Designer Outlet Center was born. It was built to resemble a German country village and is apart of a growing trend across Europe. Last year alone the number of outlets in Europe increased and the openings are still coming.

McArthurGlen was founded in 1993 by J.W. Kaempfer and the company opened their first designer outlet in Europe in 1998 and they now operate 17 outlets and generated 2.8 billion last year.

Think back, when the designer outlet first hit America... how they slowly grew into a phenomenon and how now you can find one around the corner or in the closet upscale city. Now think about the amount of land available in Europe. They may be on to something.
