The world-wide "Lindy Exchange" Network
Back in 2000 the very first "Lindy Exchange" was held in the USA...
This was a celebration of the Lindy Hop style of swing dancing - where
people from "all over" would gather together to "dance their sox off",
meet heaps of great people & generally have a fabulous time...

Matt Riddle of Melbourne was in Sweden attending the world-famous
"Herrang Dance Camp" & he was inspired by what he saw...

When Matt returned to Melbourne, he set about organising Australia's
first "Exchange", combining elements of Herrang & the Lindy Exchange
concept - resulting in the 2001 Melbourne Lindy Exchange...
The Melbourne Lindy Exchange has since grown to be one of the
premier exchanges anywhere in the world - & now combining
the "Hellzapoppin" dance comp with the Exchange...
2001
2002
2003
2004
2005

But strange as it may seem, Matt does have "another life" outside of dancin',
his "day job" is as a Researcher in the field of Education Technology...
Matt has moved to live in the United Kingdom for at least the next 12 months...
He was invited to continue his research work with one of the most prestigious
institutions anywhere in the world - Cambridge University...

Gigs just don't come much better than this in Matt's chosen field...
But this also left Matt with a bit of a problem - he still had a small number
of fabulous bits 'n' pieces left over from the various Lindy Exchanges...
He couldn't take them with him - so what was he going to do with them ???
gorgeous had been involved with the various Melbourne Lindy Exchanges
right from "day one" - so Matt contacted gorgeous & offered to  
"quit" these items at truly "bargain prices"...
gorgeous doesn't usually include any media or "non-gorgeous" items in
our product ranges, but Matt had quite a dilemna on his hands...
Matt's a great guy - we wanted to help him out - so here they are...

gorgeous Gift Vouchers

Almost everbody has Gift Vouchers - but they can be so "boring"
Yes, the "thought" is there, & you'd like to give the receiver
some "choice" - however, they can often seem like:
" I couldn't think of anything else to give you, so this will do"
Which of course, defeats the whole purpose of your gift
Wouldn't it be great if you could still give someone "choice",
without losing that all important "personal touch"
Well - now you can
gorgeous offers Gift Vouchers which can be designed to your
requirements - & which can also be "personalized" with
photos of the recipient - & that's a worldwide first
Here's an example of what we mean:

gorgeous Gift Vouchers are a "gorgeous innovation", & they're
available in ANY currency & can be used from ANY Country
They can obviously be emailed to ANYWHERE in the world

We've been experiencing quite a few email

FREE INTERNATIONAL TELEPHONE CALLS
You can talk to us at gorgeous from your computer absolutely FREE
It's just like talking over the telephone - but you don't have to pay
those horrendously expensive international phone call rates
You'll need to install a clever little freeware program called "Skype"
It's available to download at:  www.skype.com
Once you've installed "Skype", search for us under "gorgeous-gear"
in Australia - & you can then speak to us completely FREE
You can even call people who don't have "Skype", or have a computer
Yes, it does cost you a little, but we really do mean "a little" - & it's
also considerably less than those International Phone Cards
eg: Check out the costs of a 30 minute call between Australia & the
following Countries - & the costs are the same in either direction:
USA:
  US 62 cents
New Zealand:
  NZ 98 cents
Canada:  
  CA 72 cents
South Africa:
  Rand 3.8
United Kingdom:
  UK 35 pence
Japan:  
  Yen 73
Europe:  
  Euro 51 cents
Singapore:  
  SG 98 cents
Switzerland:  
  Franc 0.80
China:  
  Yuan 5


Details are on the "Skype" site - under "SkypeOut"
If you have a webcam, we can even "eyeball" while we're talking
with "Skype" video calling  - & this is also completely FREE

<div><a href="http%3A%2F%2Fshare.skype.com%2Fin%2F26%2Fgorgeous-gear" target="_blank"><img src=" http://share.skype.com/show/flash/?id=26" border="0" alt="Share Skype" id="skype-banner-img" width="120" height="60" /></a></div>
"Skype's" PRIVATE chat function includes a conference call facility
In the course of our gorgeous business, we make many calls to our
customers right across the world - & as you can probably tell
from all this, we're absolutley rapt with "Skype"
"Skype" is a fabulous utility & so easy to use - it's saving us a "bundle"

“I knew it was over when I downloaded Skype,” Michael Powell, chairman, Federal Communications Commission, explained. “When the inventors of KaZaA are distributing for free a little program that you can use to talk to anybody else, and the quality is fantastic, and it’s free – it’s over.    The world will change now inevitably.”
