| Thaksin's sister vows to do her best as Thailand's PM |
| Monday, 04 July 2011 04:02 |
 The sister of Thailand's exiled former prime minister has promised to do her best in government after leading his supporters to a landslide election win.
Yingluck Shinawatra said there was "a lot of hard work ahead", after preliminary results showed Pheu Thai had won a clear majority in parliament. With nearly all votes counted, Pheu Thai had 264 seats and Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's Democrats 160. Mr Abhisit has announced his resignation as the Democrats' leader. Both parties campaigned for an end to the divisions which have plagued Thailand since and caused deadly clashes between their followers. Last year, protesters shut down parts of Bangkok for two months in a bid to force Mr Abhisit's government to resign. When the army stepped in to clear the streets it degenerated into violence, leaving 91 people dead. The Thai baht rose more than 1% against the dollar when markets opened on Monday, performing better than other Asian currencies. 'Victory of the people'

As new century’s females, there is something very important we should not desert or give up, which is freedom and fashion. Freedom could keep us free or open in choosing or making some decision. Fashion could keep us in absolutely natural fairness or attractiveness which is unique gift presented by the Great God. For fashion, I think series of fashion or trendy clothing could help. Spring breeze has become a little hot, and summer wind has been on the way, which can be proved by the fact that womens summer skirts have crowded in the clothing market.
