Panasonic True Beauty Launch
Last Friday, BlupBlup invited me to the Panasonic True Beauty Launch which was held in Vertigo, Gardens. Media people can’t do things while hungry so we were also invited to eat to our heart’s content at The Spread, Gardens Hotel. Heady with food, we headed to the glitzy launch event at Vertigo and were pleasantly presented with the goodie bag.

DUI Laws for repeat offenders
DUI laws against repeat offenders become severe every year, as is generally perceptible in DUI classes, and most states consider a third or fourth offense as Felony DUI which has harsher penalties and longer consequences.
