      Mummy Lingerie Wins 
Triumph Inspiration Award
      National Final 2010
There were sensual shapes aplenty at the recently concluded Triumph Inspiration Award National Final at City Square Mall, but it was a piece that was inspired by a dead mummy which caught the judging panel's attention.
Creative lingerie being the items in question here, judges sought to find the piece that best suited the criteria stated for entry - an innovative silhouette.
Grace Eliano Sugiarto, 22, won for her entry based on an ancient queen, Pharoah Harshepsu, the first queen of Egypt. Her piece, "Preserved Beauty" used nude linen stockings to recreate mummy bandages, since she was inspired by the mummification technique of wrapping a body in bandages. Her one-piece suit, complete with hanging 'bandages', caught the judges' eyes.
For her effort, she wins $2,000 in cash and a chance to represent Singapore in the International Final of the Triumph Inspiration Final 2010.

                    Free What? 
I ran into an old buddy the other day. He was a rising entrepreneur, but now he looked down and out. What gives? He begins wailing his tale. 
"I had a restaurant out there on the interstate, you know. Spent a fortune on a new high-rise sign to attract traffic. It did, too. It read 'free cocktail with dinner!' The 'cocktail' was flashing red neon. Was it impressive!" 
"Sounds like a good idea. So what went wrong?" 
"Oh, the county took notice, inspection crews come out, I'm harassed all the time by the Planning department, the churches in the neighborhood have filed complaints-" 
"Hey, I thought you ran a stand-up operation out there." 
"I did. Half my flashing red neon burned out!" 
"Oh, I see..." I thought a minute. "Which half?" 
"Don't make no difference!" he wailed.
