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
Complete details are at: gorgeous gift vouchers

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:
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
"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"

 DON'T WONDER - KNOW !!!
Everybody loves email. It's cheap, easy and instant.
But how many times do you find yourself wondering
what happened to your messages?
You send an email out into the Internet, then wait patiently for a reply.
But will it get there? Will they read it?
When will they read it? And will it be too late?
Where's the reply? Are they still checking that account?
Are they on holiday? Should you just wait a little longer?
What's the story?
Message tags take the uncertainty out of email by allowing you
to deliver messages, instead of just sending them.
MSGTAG is a new desktop application that tells you when
your emails have been received and opened.
It works alongside your existing mail program, sending you an email
the moment your message is viewed — just to let you know.
MSGTAG simply lets you know they've got the message.
So now you don't have to wonder, because you'll know.
The above is directly from the MSGTAG website - but here's our story.
We've been using MSGTAG now for around 4 years.
MSGTAG comes in 3 choices - there's the "FREE" version,
the "PLUS" version & the "STATUS" version.
We started off using the FREE version, discovered how good
it was & very quickly updated to the STATUS version.
And we're so glad that we did.
MSGTAG is an integral part of our business & we wouldn't be without it.
And we're far from the only people who use & recommend MSGTAG.
We can very strongly recommend that you "check it out", especially
as like us, you can begin by using it with absolutely no cost.
After that of course, it's up to you.
The MSGTAG website is at: www.msgtag.com

The "returning visitors" figures continues to show that many people
must have 'book-marked' us, & keep coming back...
We receive around 80,000 visitors & ½ million page views each month...
Thank you so much for visiting our site...
Why does gorgeous receive so many visitors ???
For a start, there's now around 2,500 links on a wide range of websites right across the world pointing to the gorgeous site...
One of the other major factors leading many people to the gorgeous site, is our excellent ranking with the major search engines...
For example, if you type the words "rock" and "roll" into google (the most popular search engine in the world) - gorgeous not always, but usually comes up on the first page of the over 2½ million rock & roll sites listed by google - (2,700,000)...
With yahoo (the 2nd most popular search engine in the world) - gorgeous again usually comes up on the first page of the 2¾ million rock & roll sites listed by yahoo - (2,900,000)...
With altavista (the 3rd most popular search engine in the world) - gorgeous once again usually comes up on the first page of the 1½ million rock & roll sites listed by yahoo - (1,700,000)...
As many people are aware, google, yahoo & altavista together, account for over 95% of all internet search enquiries - google, yahoo & altavista independently search over 3 billion sites when returning their results...
We don't know why we're rating so high - & we've never paid any "placement $'s"...
But we're certainly not complaining... :o)
Our google, yahoo, altavista and other search engine rankings undoubtedly helps contribute to gorgeous being the most popular rock 'n' roll, rockabilly, swing, lindy hop, ceroc & hotrod site in Australia & New Zealand - and in the top five worldwide...

 Check out these guys !!!
This video is from a TV show where people say,
"Hey, I have talent!" - & then the judges decide if
they do - or do not.
When this couple did their act, there was just no
question. Everyone was floored.
The video is about two minutes long and includes
some snappy music. Also, it will look much clearer
if you don't run it full screen. The bigger the picture
the fuzzier it will look. They put on an incredible act.
