Three People Attempted to Defraud Fruit of the Loom
Three people have pleaded guilty to conspiring to defraud Bowling
Green-based company Fruit of the Loom.
The three tried to defraud the company through a series of contracts and kick-backs.
Prosecutors said the trio got contracts from a former environmental manger at the plant for work which was never done, then gave her a
kick-back for the money they received.

West Coast Watch
by Mara Susskind Kalcheim
Au Revoir Los Angeles. Bon jour Paris, France. February marked the tenth anniversary of my trips to Paris for the Salon International de
la Lingerie and Interfilière. Paris is truly the capital of apparel creation and "the" place to meet the world's key players from young
designers, to major international groups, and the most important vendors, they were all there.
Romance was in the air and it was evident that lingerie has fully been upgraded to ready-to-wear in many classifications. Sumptuous
fabrics and the most beautiful fabrics abounded. Both shows offered a sneak preview to new developments in lingerie, a treasure trove of
fabrics, and the right place to showcase lingerie related products which they called, "The Spice Boutique". It was enclosed in a space
with long hanging fringe and the displays were the most creative I've seen. Everyone crowded in to take a look.
Paris is known throughout the world as the city of light. But, every late January it also becomes the city of lingerie. Every year the shows' performance exceeds all expectations. This show welcomed over 17,000 buyers.
Attendance by foreign buyers was particularly strong with a 30% increase. The continued popularity of the show should come as no surprise considering the wealth of information the show provides. Visitors to the show see daily
runway presentations and forums that present styling direction.
I enjoy this show so much and always come away with fresh ideas. When you couple it with the allure of Paris Salon de la Lingerie and Interfilière
are a must global game plan for lingerie professionals everywhere.

Wife Vs Husband
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied , "in-laws
"Ask Andy"
Andy Weinstock has been in the fabric and textile business all his life, but professionally since 1969. 
"I love what I do, selling fabrics around the globe. I've met lots of interesting, creative, dynamic
folks; some have become dear friends. I love to help new businesses find the things they need to become successful. It works for everyone."

Hello, I would like to ask you a few things about a bra that I have made! its
got me to the place that I need to get it into the market place! I have the only pattern of this kind! Its ready to go
forward and have (how many made up)? find a buyer? I am doing this ,and want to give 2% to cancer
awareness etc, sell it out right? have the royalties!. what do u think Andy? Would
love to talk about this further. I will explain all if you call, thanks god
bless, Rhonda
Dear Rhonda: calling is difficult this time of year, but will see what we can do.
In the meantime, consider speaking with an attorney, and getting a design patent. Then offer your creation, to current bra manufacturers, and take a royalty on your design. This is not going to be easy. It is very nice of you to give 2% to Cancer Awareness.
Good Luck,
Andy
