With Valentine's Day soon approaching everyone is looking for ways to express themselves without breaking the bank, and without being a carbon copy of old traditions. With this current economy, the answer is hard to find, but a suggestion is World of Vass and Alchemy at World of Vass.
The World of Vass clothing lines are more than just clothes, they are unique designer items that your loved one can use/wear all year long. The quality is high, and best of all it's not something you will find anywhere else. Here is an example of what you can find.
But don't think there aren't gifts for him as well. There is something that everyone can love.
For those looking for something a bit more unique and imported there is Alchemy at World of Vass.
This is the authentic Alchemy of England line of products. Hand-made and imported from England, they feature English pewter goods, many with Swarovski crystals. Each items is the definition of an original idea, just for your loved one.
The best part is that 50% of the profit of any item purchased will be donated to relief organizations working in Haiti.
So why not take a look. You have nothing to lose, but you can gain the appreciation of a loved one that comes from a gift from the heart and help those that are in need.
Valentine's Day is a celebration of love. Usually it's a day when a gift or expression of love is given to someone that you know and care about. But love is not limited to those in our immediate circle of friends, family, and relationships. There is also the love of our fellow human being.
Haiti has been devastated by an enormous earthquake. The news has been filling the airwaves, the magnitude of the horror can only be measured in the tens of thousands of lives this has affected. And the true giving spirit of humanity has come forward, as it always does in such a tragedy.
George Clooney is working with MTV to create a telethon to help the people of Haiti. Presidents Bush and Clinton have come together to urge donations for this island nation. President Obama has guaranteed at least $100 million in aide. But the need will be greater than even that.
M V Consulting is not a mega-corporation. Our wells are not without limit, and while I wish I could create a telethon it is not possible. But there is something that we can do. With your help.
Valentine's Day is 30 days away. During this time 50% of all the profits from the sale of any item found at the online stores of M V Consulting, Inc. (Alchemy at World of VASS and World of VASS) will be donated to American Red Cross at www.redcross.org and Yele Haiti at www.yele.org.
So if you were hoping to give your girlfriend a new necklace for Valentine's Day like
- A classic straight-sided 1 pint ale glass, but in black glass and branded with an antiqued pewter badge of Triple X Black Rose Ale.
The proceeds will help out those in need in Hati as well.
Maybe you wanted to just get yourself or your brother/sister/mother/father something like
That too will help those in Haiti.
Whatever you choose, no matter how big or small, we will help Haiti with it. Because love of your fellow human being is not about how much you do, but that you do it at all.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
Sincerely
Michael Vass President - M V Consulting, Inc. info@vassconsult.com
For your Black Friday online shopping consideration
I hope that all of my readers and their family and friends have had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I sincerely would like to believe that no one was without a meal or friends at least for that day.
Friday is of course an entirely different subject. It is a day dedicated to shopping, sales, and getting that one item someone you know will love. It is Black Friday, when retail store pray to be overrun, and shoppers deal with congestion the likes of which they would avoid at any other time of the year.
I realize that every mega-chain, local mom and pop, and online store is competing for your attention today. And I admit I too would like to have you purchase some of my products.
I can't offer television ads, or celebrities hawking my goods. I can't offer discounts that come from being a billion dollar corporation. Nor will I present inferior goods with prices so low you have to question which truck they fell off of.
You can find high quality hand-made English Pewter products adorned with Swarovski crystals here. Every item is authentic and imported directly from England. There are items from the unique resin skulls, to stylish and fashionable earrings and pendants. You can get classic steins, ornate goblets, unique shot glasses, original rings, elaborate t-shirts, and more.
To get a taste of what is available just look at this video and then go online shopping.
With over 1500 different items to choose from, you could spend hours just looking at each item at this online store. This online shopping site features t-shirts, coffee mugs, mousepads, sweatshirts, handbags, kids clothes, maternity wear, gift cards, calendars, teddy bears and much more. There are over 21 separate custon made designs that are available only at World of Vass.
The various designs found at this online store run the gamut of cute, friendly, sexy, naughty, flirty, bold, political, individuality, fasionable, and impressive. We believe that there is truly something here for everyone, geek or jock, young or old, man or woman, White, Black, Hispanic, or whatever.
"No matter which of our online stores (or both) that you choose to go to I, Michael Vass, can attest to the fact that I personally own many of the products found there. I can personally vouch for the quality and worthiness of every item we provide for sale."
So as you spend your busy day looking for the cheapest whatever on super discount, or the hottest advertised widget or gadget, I ask you to take a moment and support the efforts. Look through our online store. Make a purchase (all items can be delivered to your home before Christmas at this point) or several. And tell your friends bout our online stores.
Your word of mouth is far more valuable to me than the anonymous and less than heartfelt advertising on television and other media.
Thank you for your support. It makes a differnce and helps me to provide the very best I can for all my readers.
Sincerely,
Michael Vass President - M V Consulting, Inc. info@vassconsult.com
It's that time of year again. Since Halloween every department store and retailer has gone full blast on getting the Christmas decorations up. Already there are discounts of incredible proportions being offered for cars and men's suits and so on.
The internet has equally gone crazy. I've gotten more spam in the past 2 weeks than in the months prior combine. Everyone want you to buy something, now!
Well I want you to buy something too. At least I'm honest enough to not try to slam it down your throat or hide it behind some kind of jingle. But like ever other retailer the economy has made life difficult for me as well. So I appreciate if you you check out my online stores.
The Alchemy at World of Vass online store features authentic English Pewter and Swarovski Crystal items that are imported direct from England. Virtually every item is hand-crafted. The workmanship is of the highest quality.
This store features earrings, pendants, shot glasses, goblets, skulls, wall decorations (flags), bracelets, rings, cell phone charms, t-shirts, sweatshirts, and more. There is something for people who love the goth style, dragons, faries, alchemy, the middle ages, vampires, werewolves, the unique and the original. There are items for men and women.
Suffice to say that I think most anyone will find at least one item that they will like and want for themselves or for someone they care about.
The World of Vass online store is filled with over 1000 items. You can find cooking aprons, teddy bears, coffee mugs, beer steins, mouse pads, calendars, postcards, t-shirts, sweatshirts, jewlry boxes, even underwear and far more.
Every item offered at World of Vass is a unique creation of M V Consultng, Inc. You can't find these designs in any store in the world, just at my online store. We have over 20 separate designs - some funny, sexy, political, or just interesting. There are designs for men and women. There are designs specific for Whites, Blacks , Hispanics and completely nuetral.
If you can't find something for someone you know, or yourself, then you are far richer than most (so buy something anyway - call it a donation to all my work). Honestly, I think that everyone can find something they will enjoy at the store.
No matter which store you choose (or both) I can guarantee several things:
I personally own several of the items that are on sale, and thus can stand behind the quality (you may have even seen me with various items in my video commentaries and photo shoots).
You get what you are buying. There are no imitations.
Speedy delivery. No need to go out and face the hordes fighting over a sale item that you don't really. It will be delivered to your door.
Your information is private. No one will ever get your information from M V Consulting, Inc.
Ok, I won't go on. But I do appreciate every visitor to my blogs and my stores. Your support is vital to me, because without you I'm just writing in the dark. So I thank you for reading this, and if you elect in checking out my stores.
And if you do like what you find, please do pass on the word.
Thank you. And now back to the real reason you are here.
Just a quick reminder that there is still time to get a stylish and unique addition to your Halloween costume from Alchemy at World of Vass.
Of course you don't have to be just looking for an addition to the perfect look on Halloween to visit the store. With the addition of T-shirts (for men and women), as well as ciggerette cases, lighters, earrings, pendants, goblets, rings, shot glasses, cell phone chains and bracelets there is something for any occasion and everyone.
But that's not all. Soon we will be adding even more T-shirt selections, flags, posters, belt buckles, handbags, purses, wallets, flasks, cuff links, and more.
Whether you are goth or just a person that likes fine quality, authentic English Pewter, Swarovski crystals or something just a bit different, Alchemy at World of Vass has something I'm sure you will enjoy.
M V Consulting, Inc. Announces the Creation of 2 New Divisions
New York, New York (PRWEB) October 13, 2009 -- M V Consulting, Inc. announced the creation and launch of 2 new divisions for the diversified company. This new expansion creates a total of 6 separate divisions within the Company. Besides the Search Engine Optimization, Investor Relations, professional Blog writing and online store for the Company's 21 unique designer clothing lines, the Company now includes a Video Production (http://www.vassconsult.com/videoproduction/index.html) division and the Alchemy at World Of Vass (http://alchemy.vassconsult.com).
M V Consulting, Inc. president Michael Vass stated,
"This has been a trying year for all companies and individuals around the globe. But in these times of struggle it is my firm belief that diversifying and growing the services and products we provide to clients and consumers is critical to continued exponential growth."
Mr. Vass went on to say,
"So far this year we have been able to increase the unique fashionable designer clothing lines available via our online store. We have remodeled our well known political blog site that was featured on TV One's online coverage of the 2008 Presidential election cycle. We have expanded our base of writing for commercial blogs, while covering issues from the most serious to the most entertaining - such as the Oscar Grant murder in Oakland, the debate on Health Care Reform, Movie previews and reviews, and more.
We feel the effect of the tight economy as much as any business in America. But we intend to use the opportunities it provides to be around for the recovery and long after."
With the growth of the internet and various visual and electronic media, millions of individuals are seeking ways to share their moments of pride, family gatherings, and everyday activities. There is no question that there are dozens of products and services available, in fact too many for the average person who has to balance a busy work schedule, family, and recreation if possible.
Thus M V Consulting's Video Production division is the answer. We take video and/or images and combine them into a seamless and high quality format. Essentially we create the modern version of home movies that can be shared with family and friends via CD's, or on social networking sites like Facebook and Youtube. These videos can even be enhanced with music creating personalized music videos. All for a reasonable fee without hassle or purchases of massive amounts of technology.
This division deals solely with the high quality product lines created by Alchemy of England. As a reseller of the Alchemy consumer goods, we seek to provide consumers with access to the finest in genuine English Pewter and Swarovski crystal handmade imported items. Via the online store consumers can directly order as few as 1 item to hundreds including earrings, pendants, belt buckles, flasks, cigarette cases, goblets and more from the entire Alchemy product line. Whether the purchase is for a birthday, a holiday adornment, or just personal expression consumers can enjoy the knowledge that all goods are imported directly from England, and are of the highest craftsmanship.

Catchy title no? Inspiration for my latest t-shirt design literally came out of a comment I made with several friends at a party not long ago.
Off the cuff, I hit everyone with this little phrase. As you might expect it floored everyone. We were all laughing for several minutes, and since it's become a bit of a catch phrase among us all. So I though I might share the humor with all my readers.
It's not political, or serious, in any way. It's just funny. I hope you enjoy it as well as all the other unique fashionable clothing designs that can be found at World of Vass. There is something for everyone, just check it out and see for yourself.
While you're at it, check out the Alchemy of England products at Alchemy at World Of Vass. It's a collection of fine English pewter and Swarovski crystal rings, pendants, flags, cigarette cases, earrings and other accesories that is perfect for Halloween, Goth, emo, and just people that are into fine quality.
As always I thank you for your support in keeping the blogs of M V Consulting, Inc. alive and providing the information you won't get elsewhere.
Sincerely, Michael Vass President of M V Consulting, Inc.
Ah yes I have been busy. With the upcoming 6 month anniversary of the shooting in Binghamton NY, plus the holiday season starting with Halloween, there has been much to do.
With regard to the shooting, I plan to review what has changed for the average person in Binghamton, and what has not. While many want to forget what has happened I believe in the adage
"Those that forget history are doomed to repeat it."
On happier news, there is Halloween. As you may recall I recently made available purchase of Alchemy of England products. These are high quality, hand-crafted, English Pewtewr and Swarovski crystal products imported directly from England.
While many consider these goods only something for the halloween holiday, as an addition to a costume, or something only for those into the Goth lifestyle I believe otherwise. These are products that anyone can enjoy and appreciate.
I believe that the selection of Alchemy products are something that people in every style of life can engage with. Whether its a ciggarette or lighter case, a flask, a goblet, earrings, pendants, whatever. Age is not the factor, expressing your own style is.
Please feel free to take a look, give me your thoughts, tell your friends, and to make a purchase. I use Paypal for all purchases to help ensure your protection in any transaction - and there is no limit or requirement on the size of your order.
I know some must be wondering why they have not heard anything from me in a couple of days. Sadly, I have not been on vacation.
I have been working on gaining interviews from directors that will have their film shown at the Tribeca Film Festival. I plan on meeting with Cynthia Basinet again to update what is going on with her.
I have decided to work on converting all my product found in the online store, into items available for direct sales. There are plans being made for several new calendars and photos shoots. I am reviewing several potential models for the shoots.
I am continuing to expand the company, and an interviewing a couple of potential new writers, to assist me in covering all the subjects and issues that matter most to you my readers. Plus I am working on several local projects.
All of this while I have picked up my own 9-ball team in the APA league I play in. My original team (we had to split the team) currently stands to win 1st place in 8-ball and 9-ball this season. In a month we go on to play for a chance at the nationals and a trip to Las Vegas.
And of course I am continuing to fix up and decorate my house.
All of this while having an increased work load with my clients, and trying to ensure both they and I are ok through this economic downturn.
It has been quite the month, and the last couple of days have been busy. But never fear. I am still on the job. More will come shortly.
As male models go, I think I'm not bad for my age (40). Hopefully the ladies will agree. Please do be kind.
Of course this is just one of the multiple lines I have for Men's clothing. And there is no shortage of ideas that are coming up. But I like to keep the model pictures somewhat even, and of course with realistic people. Because if you think I look good in my clothing, I'm sure others will look even better.
Of course there are the photo shotos of my other models as well. Like the recent 2009 calendar model Ashley France
And 2009 male calendar model Shawn Kennedy
And from my first couple of photo shoots, Amamda Chestnut
But check out the online store for yourself. I'm sure you will find something you like, or a great gift for Valentine's Day.
And I am still looking for more models, so if you are interested do let me know.
Young, old, or inbetween every woman has a mind. Latina, Black, and/or White every woman deserves respect.
At M V Consulting, Inc. we know this firsthand. Mothers, daughters, wives, and every woman on the face of the planet were on our mind when we were thinking of an image that could convey all the aspects of being a woman.
The Repsect My Mind clothing and goods product line captures the essence of a Lady and a sensuous being. From a Governor to a Mom, from Secretary of State to the secretarial pool the Respect My Mind line encompasses you all.
This gift is welcome all year long. Men can buy it for the women in their lives, or women can buy it for themselves.
And once you are at our online store, take a moment to look around at the 1500 other items we have available. We believe there is something for everyone there, as a Christmas/Holiday gift or at any time of the year. [And yes it is still possible to get delivery before Christmas if you order now.]
It's been a long day for many of my readers out there. Black Friday, a day full of shopping, crowds and sales. Yet I'm sure some of you just didn't find what you were looking for. There was something not available for that someone on your list. Or maybe you were looking for one thing to reward yourself for all the work you've done today.
I know how it can be. And thus I present some of the items that can be found at M V Consulting, Inc online store. No need to worry about crowds, nor fighting over the last item in the store. No need to deal with overworked employees, bad weather or carrying loads of items from store to store. And no need to spend extra money on gas too.
Just relax, and take a look through the 18 separate sections and several hundred items available at our store. We truly believe that there is something for everyone here. No matter the age, gender, religion, or whatever there is something that can be found for everyone to enjoy.
So take a peek at the online store and see what you can't get anywhere else at any price.
