how much do you earn a year, unexist? how about your family? are they rich? where does your $$$ come from? i'd like to know too...

I don't see what's so funny about that question? In Germany it's the same as in the UK (according to miserableman), anyone can look up the companies' accounts in an internet database (after paying a small fee). Maybe there's something like that in Italy aswell.

While that's true in theory in many countries, the fine for not complying with this legal obligation is so small that most companies provide bogus/incomplete figures (and sometimes no figures at all).
But yes it would be interesting and a few key figures could not hurt (how would communicating on turnover could hurt business confidentiality whzn you're such a niche business?)
i think the comparison between Ccp sales figures and how much members here make is not the same... for example I d be happy to have an idea of the sales amount, how much workers are paid etc.
Not speaking for CCP here but when i pay a premium and then discover that employees are sub-paid, that part of the production is outsourced to shady sweatshops in Pakistan or that raw materials are sub-par, I feel cheated.
Overall it could not hurt to demand more transparency from companies.

agreed with you franz, those points are fair enough. somehow i have the suspicion that the requests above were more of a 'paparazzi' kind (which is not surprising given the consumerist culture that is spreading here... and the ego cult that is usually linked to it)

An interesting note/detail on the origin of the CCP piece here:



It's a 1:1 replica of WWII German body warmers. Meant to be filled with hot water and worn close to the body core.

The original:

Anyone can tell me how CCP achieves his magic on Object-dyed leather (not the new seasons thou)? I guess it might be a technique of Austrian artisan or German tanneries back in the old days but I'm not quite sure. I once saw the same technique on leather made in Japan, but can't really recall or remember

Thanks in advance

albert, these have been part of various military uniforms since napoleonic wars and possibly preceding them. you can see really ornate, decorated ones on display in certain places.

Interesting, do you happen to have photos? Would be interesting to see

And how comes this assumption, taken you don't know me at all?

Recent Pictures?

Does anyone have any recent or semi-recent pictures of Carol? Or any videos besides the "Off Scene" and ones on the website? Thanks in advance.

Its amazing how attentive to detail someone could be at that point in time (like he mention people didnt understand the point) and more suprising how his patent actually cleared!
