Fashion is the art of dressing well and looking great; and of knowing what to wear, you should seek a balance between elegance and sophistication. I recommend you consider the following aspects:
The first aspect is your colors of skin, for example, if you have white skin, wear clothes of intense colors as red, blue, purple and black. For brown skin, you should wear intermediate and soft colors, for example: pink, yellow, white and others pastel colors; and for dark skin colors as white, golden, yellow and pastel colors too. Accessories in these colors can also help to look amazing.
The second aspect is the shape of your body. If you´re a little fat, avoid tight clothes, but if you´re thin try to create volume with more clothes. And the last aspect to consider would be the latest trends in fashion. For women, It´s in to use scarves, platform heels, boots and big accessories, and for men, fashion jackets and sweaters, elegant shoes and some accessories too.
In conclusion, your skin color and your body condition are important factors, when you are selecting your dress. On color of your clothing depends of your skin color, to create a contrast, and you need to know the latest trends in fashion, and you dress in agreement with this. Accessories can also help you to look modern.

History Most historians believe that tennis originated in France in the 12th century, but the ball was then struck with the palm of the hand. It was not until the 16th century that rackets came into use, and the game began to be called tennis, from the Old French term Tenez, which can be translated as hold, receive or take. An interjection used as a call from the server to his opponent. It was popular in England and France, although the game was only played indoors where the ball could be hit off the wall. Henry VIII of England was a big fan of this game, which is now known as real tennis.

The world Cup is the most important soccer tournament, and it has many soccer fans…The FIFA World Cup, also known as Football World Cup, whose original name was World Soccer Championship, is the most important soccer tournament for national teams All over the world the world. This sporting event is held every four years since 1930, with the exception of the years 1942 and 1946, which was suspended due to World War II. This competition has many fans around the world. For example, the final of the World Cup 2002 was watched by more than 1,100 million people. That’s because the FIFA Organization invented the World Cup Mascots; to give healthy and funny entertainment to the crowd. Even, the major sporting competition stared 81 years ago in Uruguay. Only until 1966 these competition had a mascot. The object of the world cup mascot was to show some representing characteristic of the host country. For example in 1978 the host country was Argentina and the name of this World Cup Mascot was ¨Gauchito¨ a famous nickname of the region’s kids. The world cup mascot is frequently one or more anthropomorphic characters targeted at children with cartoon shows and other merchandise released to coincide with the competition. Willie was the first world cup mascot. It was a lion; it was a typical symbol of the United Kingdom, wearing a union flag jersey with the words "world cup". It was for England 1966. Mexico 1970, Juanito was a boy wearing Mexico’s kit and a typical hat ¨sombrero¨ (with the words "Mexico 70" on his hat). His name was the diminutive of "Juan", a common name in Spanish. Germany 1974, Tip and Tap were two boys wearing Germany kits, with the letters wm (weltmeisterschaft, world cup) and number 74. Argentina 1978, ¨Gauchito¨ was a boy wearing Argentina’s kit. His hat (with the words Argentina '78), neckerchief and whip are typical of gauchos. Spain 1982, Naranjito was an orange, a typical fruit in Spain, wearing the kit of the host's national team. Its name comes from Spain for orange, and the diminutive "-ito".
Mexico 1986, Pique, was a famous – Barca´s- playsoccer … It was a jalapeño pepper, characteristic of Mexican cuisine, with a moustache and wearing a sombrero. its name comes from ¨picante¨, Spanish for spicy peppers. Italy 1990, Ciao was a stick figure player with a football head and an Italian tricolor body. its name is an Italian greeting. United States 1994, Striker the world cup a dog, a common us pet animal, wearing a red, white and blue football uniform with the words "USA 94". France 1998, Footix was a rooster, one of the national symbols of france, with the words "France 98" on the chest. its body was mostly blue, like the host's national team shirt and its name is a portmanteau of "football" and the ending "-ix" from the popular asteroid comic strip other proposed names were "raffy", "houpi" and "gallik". South Korea/Japan 2002, Ato, Kaz and Nik was a futuristic figures orange, purple and blue. Maybe the lesser loving mascots of the world cup mascots ever. The three individual names were selected from shortlists by users on the internet and at McDonald’s outlets in the host countries. Germany 2006, Goleo VI It was a lion wearing a Germany shirt with the number 06 and a talking football named pille. Goleo is a portmanteau of the words "goal" and "Leo", the Latin word for lion. In Germany, "pille" is a colloquial term for a football. South Africa 2010 Zakumi was a leopard, a common animal found in South Africa, with green hair wearing a shirt saying South Africa 2010. zakumi's green and gold colors represents south African national sports' teams colors. His name comes from "za", the iso 3166-1 alpha-2 code for south Africa, and "kumi", a word that means "ten" in various African languages. Over time, the World Cup Mascots have become the principal way to show the most important characteristics of the many countries of the soccer world. Perhaps our country never has been a host country of this tournament; the World Cup Sub 20 in 2011 was the first step to pursuit this object.

Tacos, burritos, enchiladas, masitas,moles, there is an abundance of really good food waiting to be experienced “South of the Border”. For the most part Mexican cooking uses a relatively limited number of techniques and a relatively limited number of ingredients; however, It is known for Its variety of flavors and colorful presentations. Best of all, many dishes are not difficult to prepare and there are few “fixed rules”. This allows everyone to experiment and season the food for their individual taste. Mexican cooking is time consuming but anyone who likes to cook will have an excellent chance of success the very first time they prepare It. One of the best things about Mexican food is It´s diversity .while it is almost always cheap, delicious and filling, in It´s various forms it is suitable as fast food, a student “potluck dinner”, or an elegant presentation for a group of older more cultured diners. Two of the most important components of Mexican food are the tortillas and the chilis. The tortillas, either corn or flour, are a basic staple with any Mexican cuisine. Usually corn tortillas are used for cheaper basic food such as tostadas, flautas, and tacos. Flour tortillas are used for burritos and tacos, but also, in more complicated dishes. Tortillas may be the staple of Mexican food but the chilis , ahh the chilis ,are the heart and soul of Mexican food , Mexicans; use a variety of chilis in their food and each imparts it´s own distinctive flavor to every dish. The most common chili used is jalapeño. Preparation of this chili is unique because the majority of the chilis distinctive “heat” is contained in the veins on the inside of the flesh. The cook can control the degree of “heat” barging the amount of these veins used used in each dish. The cook then tears the jalapeño in small pieces and roasts them briefly on a hot, dry frying pan. When the pieces change color and crackle it is time to flip them over and cook the other side. Their flavor chances as they cook; however, if they barn the flavor will be very bitter. The chilis can then be used, or they can be marinated in a variety of oils or sauces to create different flavors. This flavorful diversity is why the chili is the heart and soul of Mexican food. As in any country the food in Mexico varies from region to region depending on the ingredients available and the local culture and customs. Chilis rellenos in Merida, cabrito in monterrey, exotic moles in Mexico city, or tacos from a street vendor in Cancun, It´s all delicious.fortunatelly, as our civilization becomes more global, people around the world are being exposed to the culinary delights of Mexican food prepared at home, or eaten in a restaurant, Mexican food offer a variety of flavors tom suit.
