  Clothing Exports To US Jump 30% In May 
Nepal's clothing exports to the United States jumped 30 per cent last month to $8.9 million from $6.9m in the year-ago period, industry data revealed on Thursday.
Figures released by the Garment Association Nepal showed that rise continued an upward trend which began last August.
The US accounts for around 85 per cent of Nepal's apparel exports and helps drive an industry which employs more than 100,000 people and generates 40 per cent of the country's total export earnings.

    Women Admit To Suffering "Dress Distress " 
One in five women argue with their partner over their dressing habits with one in two admitting they suffer from "dress distress" on a regular basis, a new survey revealed on Friday.
The study by Sure Crystal anti-perspirant deodorant showed 28 per cent of UK women admit to being more indecisive about their wardrobe than any other part of their lives, while 22 per cent say they are late as they can’t decide what to wear.
Two thirds of the women questioned said they own several outfits which no longer fit them while a similar number say they forget what clothes are in their wardrobes and 31 per cent say they have too many fashions.
Psychologist Donna Dawson said: "Women who are capable and decisive in every other area of their life seem to panic and lose faith in their own judgement when it comes to deciding what to wear.
"No doubt this is because they feel under intense pressure to always look good and keep up with the latest fashions in an age when we are all so obsessed with appearance."

Police in Chicago were today probing how a six-year-old boy was crushed to death by a giant mirror in a clothing store.
The accident happened as Jonathan Villagomez visited the Express store in the Lincolnwood Town Centre mall on Saturday afternoon.
Investigators say the youngster was killed when the five foot by 12 foot mirrored panel weighing 240 pounds, suddenly fell off the wall and landed on him.
The Express chain is owned by Ohio-based retail giant Limited Brands which today expressed its "heartfelt sympathy" to the boy's family and pledged its full co-operating into the cause of the tragedy

Brace yourself, dear boy readers, for this Thursday's 
party to celebrate FHM's choice of the 100 Sexiest 
Women in the World, a supplement to the world's 
fastest growing men's magazine.
       
Poly-bagged with the July issue of FHM, the 100 Sexiest Women supplement's standings might surprise a few discerning heteros. We can understand Halle Berry in the top slot, but Britney Spears as number two? We know she officially lost her virginity not so long ago, but how the hell did wee Britney get to be 93 places higher than Gisele Bundchen, or 78 slots above Kate Hudson, or 33 before Cameron Diaz?
Why else would FHM magazine publish its 100 Sexiest Women issue except to have a huge blowout bash in Hollywood to celebrate it? That's exactly what they did Thursday night, as several of the women who made the list came out to toast themselves...and to fend off the eager male guests, of course.
              
Socialite Paris Hilton, who made the list along with her sister Nicky, (Photo Above) wore bright pink (and very little of it), including a pink tank top with "princess" written in sparkles across the front. She looked super bored by 11pm, though, as the crowd quickly turned into more men, less celebs, and made her way to the parking lot soon thereafter.

                               Act Of God 
The new minister's wife had a baby. The minister 
appealed to the congregation for a salary increase 
to cover the addition to the family. 
The congregation agreed that it was only fair, and 
approved it. When the next child arrived, the minister 
appealed and again the congregation approved the 
increase. 
Several years and five children later, the congregation 
was a bit upset over the increasing expenses. 
This turned into a rather loud meeting one night with 
the minister. 
Finally, the minister stood up and shouted 
"Having children is an Act of God!" 
An older man in the back stood and shouted back 
"So are rain and snow, but we wear rubbers for them!"
