Taking Good Care Of Your Shirt

Here are a few tips to make your shirts glow for a long time:

Cleaning:
Check the washing instructions or care label on the tag. Most dress shirts advise washing over dry cleaning
Before washing, turn the shirt inside out. This will protect the shirt against fading, surface damage due to chemicals in the detergent
Remove stains if any with stain remover before washing the shirt.

Pressing / Ironing:
If you put your shirt in a dryer, remove the shirt from the dryer and straighten it. This way you can avoid ironing the shirt
If ironing the shirt, then use light starch. Heavy starch can reduce the life of the shirt.
Think about it: Higher the quality of the shirt and fabric, longer will be the cotton fibers. These long fibers wrinkle less and hence less ironing.

Storage:
Hang your shirts on a thick hanger (not the thin metal ones), this way they will crease less around the shoulders.
Fold your shirts if you are traveling. But remember that to steam out the crease before wearing especially around the stomach area.

Oscar Selfie picture was pre planned

Oscar Selfie picture was pre planned

Ms. DeGeneres took the selfie picture with Samsung phone camera which was re-tweeted about 3 million times. She had been carrying the camera conspicuously during the broadcast of the Oscars.

While it felt as though the picture was unplanned and she took a decision impulsively, but it was not so, here are the reasons why:

1) While Ms. DeGeneres was also tweeting at the Oscar, she was using her Iphone.

2) Samsung and its advertising company Starcom MediaVest had negotiated to have its Galaxy smartphone integrated into the show.

    So Samsung gave ABC (TV channel that broadcast the show) smartphones to use during the broadcast and ABC promised that its phones will get airtime (called product placement).

3) A few days before the broadcast, Ms. DeGeneres came up with the idea of a selfie and ABC said that she should do it with samsung phone. So during the rehearsals, Samsung executives trained Ms. DeGeneres on how to use the Samsung galaxy (remember she is used to an iphone).

TV networks reserve such product placement for big spending advertisers.

Advertisers were paying about US$ 1.8 million for a 30 seconds worth of Oscar ad time.

So approximately Samsung must have spent about $18 million
