National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge’s #193 for Wednesday, December 31, 2014 (the last Day of 2014) is a Salute to the most Fab People in The World, in which Robert & I are both Life-long Members.  We (like about 76,000,000 Americans) are bona fide Baby Boomers!

As the 365^TH Day of the Year is upon us, it’s Time to reflect back on what put ‘The Pop’ into Popular Culture and Holidates as National Splurge Day ©1994 upon its 20^TH Year is at the Head and Top of that Roster that makes News Stories all the more unique.   With few Hours left in our Day, there’s no Time like the Present. 

Therefore, Boomers know what to do; when to do it; where to do it and why it should be done. That rates as Entitlement that is ageless.

Happy New Year:  15 years ago it was ‘just’ 2000.  I’m saying we did make it past the Y2K Bug!

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge’s #194 for Thursday, January 1, 2015 is the First Day for the Rest of your Life. If you’re like many, the New Outlook is that as of 11:59 PM yesterday the last BabyBoomer turned 50; therefore the Mindset is that of SPLURGING on the Things that ‘wane nostalgic.’  Not only did the Period of 1946 – 1964 feature some of the coolest Items ever created, invented and founded, but they were built to last.  And, like those who were able to make it to their 50^TH Birthday, they, too, were built to last in order to celebrate 2015, the 15^TH Year of this new (not that new anymore) Century & Millennium.  Go to it:  Make up those Splurge Lists and consider the Openings - Possibilities.  Many are just a PC: Point & Click away.  For those interested in becoming Part & Parcel of:

Inner Demons got yea? Splurge them away for 2015 with ASK: Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith’s National Splurge Day – now coming to your Neighborhood.

The 191st Edition of

The Daily Splurge

 

 

Monday, December 29, 2014

 

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge’s #191 for Monday, December 29, 2014 is the Antithesis of what a SPLURGE is – an excessive Way to access a Desirable Commodity.  However, sometimes, it’s good to divorce (restrict and cut yourself apart) from that INDULGENCE.  Therefore, Today [as we narrow down the Days of 2014]is allocated to look at and carefully examine something you may be doing in excess that you do not want to be the proverbial ‘Albatross around your Neck’ come the New Year.  After all, 2015 means We are all well into the 2000s by 15 years (which is a long, long time) and if certain Priorities have not been met, well, then: it’s high time to take a different Road, perhaps one that could lead you on to a New Adventure. 

2015 for me is going to be one in which I gravitate from the Sweets in my Life (no not the People who are of that particular Character) but a huge lessening of Foods that I’ve been indulging in.  After all, on December 31, 2014 at 11:59 PM, the last Baby-Boomer turns 50; therefore, a huge Demographical Shift occurs that has never occurred in the History of Mankind.  Accompanying that Phenom is the Fact that People’s Metabolisms slow down and with that, Weight Gain occurs that can lead to an assortment of medical problems.  We all have our Vices to contend with.  Being knowledgeable about them and nipping them at the(ir) Bud is something that you’ll find is a new Excess and Splurge you will find quite rewarding in the Years ahead… that are appropriately marked as:

YoTS: Years of The Splurges ©2010

for those of you following this Holidate in action, now marking its 20^TH year of Progress as of June 18, 2014.  A Holidate with Twists and Turns is how each Day should be lived so that ennui and boredom never play havoc with your Days.

What Pope Francis’s 15 Ailments of the Curia & ASK/Chicago's SANTA IS RETIRING ©2014 have in common.

Dateline:  Wednesday, December 24, 2014 - 12:45 PM CST

Pope Francis’s 15 Ailments of the Curia are extremely similar to why SANTA IS RETIRING ©2014, penned by Chicago Writer & Personality, ASK: Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith.  Some People possess the innate Capability to see what has gone wrong and awry and are not afraid to air it or blurt-it-out so that others can see and perhaps help correct what is morally wrong with ‘Things in General.’  Things (by Definition) are Issues We all have, no matter where We live and/or what We believe in.  Humanity and the Creatures (that live with us on this Earth) are extremely alike.  Profit-over-People is a slap in the Face to Humanity, in which we are all apart.

 

In order to further that Sentiment, listed below is the Papal List that should be studied and acted upon.  You can’t help to notice that although Pope Francis addresses his Cardinals, Bishops and Priests with these ‘Ailments,’ these Individuals also include ‘Corporate America’ and those powerful Scoundrels scattered around the Globe who are entirely one-sided and fixated only on themselves.  We know who they are. What needs to be done now is how to prepare the Damage. Hopefully, it is not irreparable.

  

SANTA IS RETIRING ©2014, of course, is publicized throughout the major Social Media Networks  in order for it to receive Recognition it needs to surface, while it is being perfected. ASK plans include:

 

The Book

The Movie

The Stageplay.

 

After all, Christmas Movies and Holiday Gifts (especially Books) are Big Hits and popular with The Masses.

After all, it will take a while for Santa to dismantle the North Pole (after his Final Rendezvous on December 24-25, 2014) as it takes time to locate the exact Angel Investors and Studio in which to produce this Project.

We are pleased and grateful for those Parties and Individuals who initially were curious enough to check-out the Reasons why #SANTA_IS_RETIRING.

 

Pope Francis’s 15 ‘Ailments of the Curia’ are:

1) Feeling immortal, immune or indispensable. “A Curia that doesn’t criticise itself, that doesn’t update itself, that doesn’t seek to improve itself is a sick body.”

2) Working too hard. “Rest for those who have done their work is necessary, good and should be taken seriously.”

3) Becoming spiritually and mentally hardened. “It’s dangerous to lose that human sensibility that lets you cry with those who are crying, and celebrate those who are joyful.”

4) Planning too much. “Preparing things well is necessary, but don’t fall into the temptation of trying to close or direct the freedom of the Holy Spirit, which is bigger and more generous than any human plan.”

5) Working without coordination, like an orchestra that produces noise. “When the foot tells the hand, ‘I don’t need you’ or the hand tells the head ‘I’m in charge.’”

6) Having “spiritual Alzheimer’s”. “We see it in the people who have forgotten their encounter with the Lord ... in those who depend completely on their here and now, on their passions, whims and manias, in those who build walls around themselves and become enslaved to the idols that they have built with their own hands.”

7) Being rivals or boastful. “When one’s appearance, the colour of one’s vestments or honorific titles become the primary objective of life.”

8) Suffering from “existential schizophrenia”. “It’s the sickness of those who live a double life, fruit of hypocrisy that is typical of mediocre and progressive spiritual emptiness that academic degrees cannot fill. It’s a sickness that often affects those who, abandoning pastoral service, limit themselves to bureaucratic work, losing contact with reality and concrete people.”

9) Committing the “terrorism of gossip”. “It’s the sickness of cowardly people who, not having the courage to speak directly, talk behind people’s backs.”

10) Glorifying one’s bosses. “It’s the sickness of those who court their superiors, hoping for their benevolence. They are victims of careerism and opportunism, they honour people who aren’t God.”

11) Being indifferent to others. “When, out of jealousy or cunning, one finds joy in seeing another fall rather than helping him up and encouraging him.”

12) Having a “funereal face”. “In reality, theatrical severity and sterile pessimism are often symptoms of fear and insecurity. The apostle must be polite, serene, enthusiastic and happy and transmit joy wherever he goes.”

13) Wanting more. “When the apostle tries to fill an existential emptiness in his heart by accumulating material goods, not because he needs them but because he’ll feel more secure.”

14) Forming closed circles that seek to be stronger than the whole. “This sickness always starts with good intentions but as time goes by, it enslaves its members by becoming a cancer that threatens the harmony of the body and causes so much bad scandals especially to our younger brothers.”

15) Seeking worldly profit and showing off. “It’s the sickness of those who insatiably try to multiply their powers and to do so are capable of calumny, defamation and discrediting others, even in newspapers and magazines, naturally to show themselves as being more capable than others.”

ASK: Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith of Chicago reflects back: The Difference a Year makes...

23 of them as a matter of fact.

Today marks the Golden Anniversary of the Date, Monday, December 23, 1991 at 6 PM sharp when I was viciously beat-up, robbed and left-for-dead in the lobby of my (then) home & apartment on West Rosemont in Chicago.

Because of that horrific Event, I went on to create the ground-breaking Crime Alert Prevention Crusade called:

CARTOONISTS AGAINST CRIME (C)1991

that earlier culminated in the Literary Format I introduced to the WORLD called:

Eventology (R)
The Art of Event-Making
Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith's Campaigns for Humanity (C)1990

of which Crime Prevention became a major PLAYER in all segments of my life, as well as those of every person trying to live their life every day in the safest of manners.

This Golden Anniversary is one of intense gratitude and appreciation because (after all), we take the simplest things in life for granted and then a harsh reality hits, making us realize that each day is a Blessing.

From the 1900 HOLIDATES TO CELEBRATE that I have created since July 25, 1990, came 50 books delving more into those Topics as well as Movie Scripts called:

SKiN: Sacred Kinship in Nature (TM)
How 10 Beloved Plush Toys Redefine Race (C)2009

(7 of which) deal with:

Eliminating Racism;
Dispelling the Mixed Signals we receive every Day; and
Getting to the Heart of what really matters.

Writing is the most cathartic Vice & Ploy anyone can ever do. If you don't believe me, check out the Wonders of Social Media in which everyone wants to get their 2 cents' and 2 hoots' worth in.

ASK's PERSONAL NOTE: 
This is part of an ongoing Holidate that I created called National Splurge Day 20 years ago. It is tweaked every day to reflect changes that are happening within our Society that need to be improved.  Won't you join me in supporting this Idea whose time has come. 

 

BECAUSE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS ISSUE, IT HAS ITS OWN BLOG ENTRY AND YOU ARE READING IT HERE:

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge’s #184 for Monday, December 22, 2014 will be a SPLURGE unlike any and all others ever created by me, ASK: THE QUEEN OF SPLURGE and the  Creator/Founder/Owner of the 20 year old popular Holidate known as:

National Splurge Day ©1994

 

and its accompanying eBlog called:

 

The Daily Splurge ©2014,

now 6 months old. 

It is a national cry-out and shout-out to make sure that all POLICE CARS – AMBULANCES and PADDY WAGONS are fitted and manufactured with Bullet Proof Glass. In light of the two police Officers slain in Brooklyn this past Weekend, it appears to be a/the mandatory order of the day. This Revelation came to me yesterday and I created its first Tweet and sent that to Car Manufacturers in order that they can help push through this Motion.  Furthermore with the amount of vehicles that are shot-at on highways, expressways and in the inner city, this may be a new addition Auto Manufacturers should make for ANY and EVERY vehicle they manufacture.

Therefore, armed with this Intel, I am asking my Friends, Followers and Fans to jump on the BandWagon to make sure that nothing like this will ever happen again.   Talk this Concept up.  It's what we need so that no family has to suffer again.

The bottom line is: It’s just a darn good idea that should have been done decades ago.

Dateline:  The Ides of December, 2014

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #177 for Monday, December 15, 2014 is something you do not want to hear about.  It’s getting very, very close to the End of the Year and it’s time for your SPLURGE CLEANUP OF THE YEAR (SCOTY).  Any year, you choose. Some of you may not have been too anxious to keep up with those Yearly Splurges.  Now as 2014 ends, there’s been a Record 20 years of NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY happening since 1994. That’s historical and hysterical both, deciding on what side of the Boutique, Mall and Charge Card you are on.  Hopefully, you’ve been keeping up with all the SPLURGES you’ve made that you didn’t need so that you can ‘ReGift’ those now and thus save Time, Money and Effort doing the BUY – BUY – BUY Thang that so many active Consumers are caught up into.  Look at it this way: With all that STUFF lying around and the New Year coming in, don’t you really want to clean up (your act)?  Don’t you really need to clean it up? That’s the General Observation I’ve been making the last 60+ years.

If not, that’s totally your Decision (alone), as there are no Clues here, but as Calendars go, only have 16 Days remain and not even that Amount since 4 of those Days are Party Times.  If We count in the 7 Days of Kwanzaa, that takes up 5 more Days.  The Bottom Line is:  I am here to help you ‘Splurge Smarter,’ being the Conscience of Splurging-at-large, small and any Way you can or want to DO IT!

In Dubai, a Mall is dedicated to Shoes and nothing but shoes.  Covering 29,000 Square Feet, this Story was the feature of early morning news-reels.  I wonder how many Pairs one can fit into that amount of Space. They didn’t say how many football fields this would cover, but sports fans can figure that one out. Google just informed me of these Stats:  300,000 Shoes in 1500 Styles and is touted as the largest Store of its kind anywhere in the World As the Queen of Splurge, I would whole-heartedly love to chat more about the Art & Act of Splurging, but I found my Nirvana now…

Verdura's 75th Anniversary: A Retrospective Exhibition of Jewels that sets The Theme for all Generations.

DateLine:  Sunday, December 7, 2014

Via Word-of-Mouse: 

ASK/Chicago, Illinois USA

@ASK_Koopersmith

 

 

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #169 for Sunday, December 7, 2014 is a Tribute and or Introduction to Duke Fulco di Verdura, the Sicilian Jewelry Maker who happened to associate with Coco Chanel (1883- 1971), the French Fashion Designer who became popular in both the Paris Literary and Artistic Worlds.  Coca may best remembered as being Creator of the LBD: Little Black Dress. 

 

Deciding to reinvent her Look, Duke di Verdura thus created for himself a Reputation in the Fine Jewelry Industry that later catered to ‘The Stars’ when Movie Making was just beginning. Opening his First Salon on Fifth Avenue in New York and established in 1939, this Move correlated to a Time when Stories of every Possibility were tearing the World apart, yet something extraordinary was happening in Fashion and The Arts that would later be unrivaled.

Shortly thereafter, with the Advent of the Television Set, this catapulted (t)his Visibility further to Super-Stardom as more and more People became hooked on the High Intensity that only the Screen could provide. 

 

And, how did I know that? By watching my Favorite Weekly TV Program, CBS Sunday with Charles Osgood, Lee Cowan, Mo Rocca, Anthony Mason, Martha Teichner  and The Tracey Smith (amongst other Prime Time  Journalists) who always introduce HOT & HAUTE Topics that I should either be focused on and/or educated about.  

 

Nora O’Donnell of CBS This Morning (Monday-Friday) hosted this particular Segment [whose Eyes are as crystal blue as the Blue Iced Diamonds she showed us during that Interview].   We all have our favorite Verdura’s.  Whoopi Goldberg favors Moonstone in her Jewelry.  Therefore, when it comes to The Art and Act of Splurging as The Queen of Splurge and Founder/Originator of:

 

NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994

(now marking its 20^TH Year ABC: Anniversary – Birthday - Celebration)

& YoTS:  YEARS OF THE SPLURGES ©2010

(Commemorated from 2014-2019 for NSD’s 20-25^TH ABCs)

 

knowing where to get that IDI: Intel/Data/Info is as vitally incremental and important as splurging itself when ‘The Urge to Splurge’ overtakes you.  Verdura brings that out in a Person and has for the last 75 years marking their Diamond Anniversary now.  

Peering at ‘The Calendar,’ tiz the Season for that with each and every Turn made.  The ‘Returns’ (not necessarily defined as the Regifting and Resifting now) on having that Input in your Data Bank and close-at-hand, cannot be measured. 

As Ms. Chanel once said:  “I never wanted to weigh more heavily on a Man than a Bird.”  To which I would say: “Why do that when your Jewelry can?”

THEREFORE:  The Underlying Lesson and Moral to be learned from this CBS Sunday Segment of Sunday, December 7, 2014 (the 73^RD Anniversary of Pearl Harbor Day) simply is: 

Duke Verdura did not need to make Jewelry. He lived in a Comfort Zone, a Life of Luxury, most of us never even dream (of).   However, he did and because of his Artistry, look at the Lives he touched by doing so and, even 36 years after his Death (in 1978) and now upon the 75^TH Anniversary of

Verdura: The Master Jeweler,

the Story still continues to inspire a Legacy that sparkles; takes one’s breath away and attracts entire New Generations of  Collectors and Fanfare.  ‘Looking good just got better’ because of him.  How nice it would have been to have known him.
