TRAINING: Morning - MMA Training with my coaches and Xgym teammates for about 90 minutes, where we do sparring and very intense training. Afternoon - Drilling and strategic training for about 90 minutes at the Xgym, where I sharpen my weapons or try to bring something new to my arsenal. We have a schedule where I train Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, Wrestling, etc. through the week. Night - Conditioning training with my coach Rogerio Camoes at Xgym, about 45-60 minutes five or six days a week; it changes every week. This is where we make sure I will be at my peak level on the day of the fight.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started with Jiu-Jitsu when I was 17 years old, I fell in love with the sport and after all my conquests in Jiu-Jitsu and ADCC, MMA was my next challenge. I naturally moved on to MMA as a way of making a better living and combining it with what I love to do most, which is train and compete.
What ranks and titles have you held? Former Strikeforce Middleweight Champion, Jiu-Jitsu World Champion, ADCC champion, among other titles.
Do you have any heroes? Yes I do have many heroes in life, and their examples help me keep on the right track. My parents, coaches, training partners, close friends and God.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? Everything. It's a great place to show my skills and show to the world that I am among the best in my weight division.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Just basic education.
What was your job before you started fighting? I have competed in Jiu-Jitsu tournaments since I have started training, so that was my work, and I got through the years with help from friends, teammates and sponsors.
Specific accomplishments in pro competition? There were a few pro divisions in Jiu-Jitsu by the time I was competing, but there was pretty much no money at all. The only pro competition out there was the ADCC and I had competed in 2003 ADCC Brazil, and still as a Brown belt I finished second in my weight division. In ADCC 2005 in Los Angeles, I won my weight division and finished second in the open division. ADCC 2009, I won the super fight against Robert Drysdale.
Ranks in any martial arts styles: Black Belt in Jiu-Jitsu and Judo
Favorite grappling technique: Anything that finished my opponents, but my favorites are triangles and armbars
Favorite striking technique: Jab and uppercut

Larson is Dem leader; Republicans cheer
Madison -- Democrats in the state Senate elected 32-year-old freshman Sen. Chris Larson of Milwaukee as minority leader on Tuesday -- a surprise decision that Republicans instantly cheered.
Larson was first elected to the Senate in 2010 after beating a more conservative Democrat in a primary and since then has been a reliable part of the caucus's liberal wing. With his relative youth and inexperience, some Republicans immediately signalled Tuesday that they thought he would be ineffective as a leader. »Read Full Blog Post(135)

Talk of merging New Berlin middle, high schools fades
New Berlin - With the New Berlin School Board expressing no interest Monday in pursing a couple of fairly drastic changes at the middle/high schools, development of a facilities maintenance plan that will affect schools for decades can proceed.
One of those potential changes was whether the district would move from two middle/high schools to one middle school and one high school. The other potential change was sharing sports and co-curricular activities with some being at one school and the others at the other school or whether each middle/high school would keep its own sports teams with their own athletic fields. Both these ideas had kicked around for a while and both have implications for facilities planning, said Roger Dickson, chief financial and operating officer. »Read Full Article(5)

And at 7:30 p.m. tonight, you can see the music of Journey and Pat Benatar rearranged for the legitimate theater, as traveling stage musical "Rock of Ages" returns to Milwaukee for a six-date engagement at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts, 929 N. Water St. The tour was last here less than 18 months ago, with a couple dates at the Milwaukee Theatre and "American Idol" alum Constantine Maroulis in the lead role.

CNHI News Service
HUNTSVILLE, Texas —
The 500th lethal injection execution carried out in Texas drew an emotional crowd of protesters outside the death chamber in Huntsville, many of whom challenged the fairness of the sentence for the condemned -- a black woman.
Though hundreds of males have been put to death in Huntsville since lethal injection was introduced in 1982 — including the first, Charlie Brooks, a black Dallas man convicted in the abduction and murder of a used car salesman — Kimberly McCarthy was only the fourth woman executed in the state.
McCarthy, 52, was put to death Wednesday for the 1998 stabbing death of her 71-year-old neighbor, Dorothy Booth.
Protesters said they believe McCarthy's sentence, handed down by a primarily white jury, was in error and her trial was unfair.
Members of the Texas Death Penalty Abolition Movement, New Black Panther Party, National Black United Front, Dallas Peace Center, and others voiced their opposition to the death penalty.
"Murderers, murderers!" protesters chanted as reporters, McCarthy's family, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice officials entered the death chamber shortly before 6 p.m.
Many of the protesters said they were angered by perceived racial bias in the courts system, which they said resulted in far more executions of minorities than whites.
Tempers in the crowd of a few hundred flared when Krystal Muhammad, chairwoman of the Houston chapter of the New Black Panther Party, tuned her anger on a university student in the crowd who asked, "But didn't she (McCarthy) kill someone?"
"The white jury said they did. The white jury always says they're guilty," said Muhammad, whose eyes welled with tears.
Hoisting a microphone, National Black United Front national chairman Kofi Taharka said capital punishment must be abolished.
"The death penalty should be shut down before they murder more," Taharka said to the crowd. The 45-minute, roller coaster of emotions outside the Walls ended with a prayer circle and a hymn. Members of the circle held hands and prayed that Texas and its leadership would end the death penalty.
Details for this story were provided by The Huntsville (Texas) Item.

We'll be there in full force at as many events as we can to cover everything in all out CrackBerry style. There should be plenty of good news at these events including official launch dates and plenty more. Stay tuned!!

My fur coat is currently being serviced. I have to have this oil stuff applied every three years. May be ready by then tho
peterallcdn Dec 17, 2012 at 10:30 am
I was discussing this on twitter a few hours ago. RIM should be holding a rally type event (possibly outdoors) which all fans could attend. A huge mob of BB fans/RIM employees out for a launch event would make for some good press. Anything other than a boring typical product launch setting. Like other BB fans, I want to attend and I think RIM should leave some seats for us believers.
Weeniemeenie Dec 17, 2012 at 11:03 am
BTW, have they said where in Toronto will the event take place? the Steam Whistle brewery, maybe?

morpho4444 Dec 17, 2012 at 9:54 am
Mexico and LATAM market share for BB is more than 50% of the smartphones and yet RIM forgets totally about them when launching at the same time... too bad...
morpho4444 Dec 17, 2012 at 9:55 am
Given that Mexico and Argentina are building Blackberry phones again they seem to simply "not care"
Kat0908 Dec 17, 2012 at 10:05 am
Why did you reply to yourself? Lol. Also you do realize those cities are just where the launch EVENTS are being held it doesn't not mean the countries those cities are in will be the only countries BB10 is launching in
morpho4444 Dec 17, 2012 at 10:10 am
There is more people caring about BB10 in LATAM than the whole US population
Kat0908 Dec 17, 2012 at 10:43 am
Actually, most BlackBerry users in Latin America don't even know BlackBerry 10 exists. Also your statement is a bit of an exaggeration to say the least. Do you even know how many people there are in the US?
ciscobear Dec 17, 2012 at 12:14 pm
Really? Where are you getting this data from? We are waiting just like our North American brothers and sisters.
Kat0908 Dec 17, 2012 at 12:38 pm
I'm getting this data from riding public transit buses in various countries throughout Latin America and talking to people who sit next to me and pull out a BlackBerry. I ask them if they're looking forward to the new BB10 devices and so far only 2 people have even heard of BB10. The majority love their BlackBerry but don't bother to keep up with the latest from RIM. There's nothing wrong with that, they love their BB because it helps them stay in touch for cheap.
So the majority don't really care to keep up with what's next when their current device is just fine. Latin America is primarily low-end BlackBerry devices anyway. I have yet to see a single person with a Bold 9900. They have all been curves or much older BlackBerry devices. Again, nothing wrong with that, but that's the market in Latin America. So why would RIM hold a launch event of 2 HIGH-END devices in an area where very few people could afford them?
juacas Dec 17, 2012 at 10:06 am
+100000000 here in Colombia probably 80% of the smartphone are BB, so yeah... They simply dont care, cause nobody knows among regular users about BB10

I'm very upset that there is no any China city.
There are a lot of super BBers waiting for BB10. Are you sure you will forget China, RIM?
Skeevecr Dec 17, 2012 at 6:40 pm
There are a bunch of additional issues with launching in China even if it is a large market, so it isn't a surprise that China isn't mentioned as the odds are that they won't be one of the earlier countries to get bb10.
Maybe it is a good idea for Crackberry and BB superfans to self-organize their own BB10 launch event in cities not listed?
Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes Dec 17, 2012 at 10:55 am
There's a thread

Bloomberg says BB10 phones will be out for sale in February. Anyone can confirm this?
shinerb Dec 17, 2012 at 10:51 am
Is it a "launch event" where you will be able to buy the phones or is it an "unveiling"? The ad uses one term and the article uses another. I think there is some confusion here.
BruvvaPete2 Dec 17, 2012 at 2:27 pm
If you're in Canada and belong to Rogers you can pre-order right now. I'm sure the other carriers will come in line with the same offer.

shinerb Dec 17, 2012 at 10:58 am
You need to use the word "unveiling" for this date just like RIM does. We are all looking forward to the actual product launch date but this isn't it.
shirkeashutosh21 Dec 17, 2012 at 11:02 am
We can buy the devices on 30th january or will it be just the presentation? :s
Anilu7 Dec 17, 2012 at 11:15 am
I understand that media etc would get invites but wouldn't RIM also open it up to fans once # of media, etc spots known? That would make it more exciting for the event as a whole. Media-only events tend to be very dry. Besides, we have been anticipating this for a long time--we want to be included in the launch!
pmich Dec 17, 2012 at 11:16 am
Will there be a prize to attend the launch event with you guys? That would be awesome. I really want to attend my first launch event!
shefiu Dec 17, 2012 at 11:22 am

Launch event right here in Johannesburg? This is fantastic news!
Feeling the love form RIM in South Africa =)
This is a great idea. Love how RIM is adding an international flavor to it's launch. It would have been nice to have a site in South American and Asia. Must be a logistical issue.
Folks, this is the future staring you in the face. The world is a whole lot bigger than Apple's and Google's myopic obsession with North America.
Skeevecr Dec 17, 2012 at 6:45 pm
The lack of an APAC location is almost certainly due to timezone issues, it would be tough enough to fit in NY/TO at the same time as Dubai, but as far as South American countries, they usually tend to be behind other regions for new releases so a launch event there would be a bit cruel.
kcmagnet Dec 17, 2012 at 3:31 pm
Ummm... contest idea:
Win one of six spots as a Crackberry guest correspondent at RIM's official Blackberry 10 unveiling events. You will accompany a member of the Crackberry staff to one of RIM's six unveiling events, participate in a live blog from the event, and write a guest editorial on your views from the event.
Please Crackberry, make this happen! I promise to write a good column!

Edwin Mbugua Dec 17, 2012 at 3:52 pm
to all the Boys and Girls feeling bitter about the launch not being in their Country... feel free to shed a tear.... maybe in the next launch... they'll include your 3rd world country... as for me .... im headed for the Johannesburg launch.... and im not planning on standing outside

Was that jab really necessary?
Two minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct!
You don't need to insult people nor their country. Seems to me your just trolling.

kidmac13 Dec 17, 2012 at 8:55 pm
I'd like to comment: "what? Why not australia? RIM doesn't care."
But if its invite only, and probably for media, businesses, etc, I couldn't get in anyway.
Ill be logged in to CB.
Time for us in Asia to reevaluate continuing our support of RIM...its unbelievable that no Asian cities are represented in this launch...not even any city in Indonesia.
Johannesburg instead of an Asian city!!! What are they smoking!?
TomJasper Dec 17, 2012 at 11:32 pm
My understanding is that Asia gets BBM Money "first" before any other country. Hope this helps.
"Managing Director of South Asia operations, stated "Indonesia is very important for RIM… It's a huge market for us – and it is a market that has grown significantly over the last few years… So we are offering a new innovation – BBM Money which will be launched in Indonesia – first in the world – shortly. It is a peer-to-peer transfer service that anyone with a BlackBerry phone can use to transfer funds to someone else with a BlackBerry phone."
Dude, I think the problem has to do with time zones. Neither RIM nor GOD himself can fix this issue.

They are struggling in America, there should def be a launch in LA...think of all that stars that would be there, just to be somewhere before the superbowl
haricharan Dec 17, 2012 at 11:10 pm
what about India and Indonesia where they are doing well at the moment?
Alan973 Dec 17, 2012 at 11:21 pm
COME ON RIM!!!Put some effort into East Asia!
JPSKILLZ Dec 17, 2012 at 11:50 pm
Uhhhmmm...ya'll do realize that we have a little something called, "THE INTERNET" now right? LoL I'll be at the event LIVE from the comfort of my own couch! LoL Hell, they could have a secret Launch for all I care, just as long as they let me know when & where I can go buy one.
Alan973 Dec 18, 2012 at 9:12 pm
I know what you're saying but there are still LOTS of people who never had interest in searching gadget news online, so the old school ways like newspaper&TV ads or a lunch event(most likely to be reported on the TV news)will still be effective
BBNation Dec 17, 2012 at 11:56 pm
This also means that they will report better on Thursday, this show RIM has enough cash to brun to have party in more than 5 cities..
Why only launch di Dubai for Asian regions? Did RIM forgot what happened to India/Indonesia during the launch of few BB7 devices? Only India/Indonesia has stronger market share for BB devices. BB10 needs to be launched early in both countries too...
ReccaKun Dec 18, 2012 at 3:37 am
WHAT!!! no Vancouver BC?!?!?!?1?

I hope they unveil a slider version too.

The launch in Asia has already been done -- in Vietnam. Havent you seen the high res photos of the device? :-)
Yemson Dec 18, 2012 at 8:11 am
Thanks Blackberry for completely ignoring South America.
zensen Dec 18, 2012 at 9:46 am
I understand South Africa but RIM has some massive support in places like Indonesia and the Philippines. They always harp on about it, they even have stores in indonesia. A bit of a slap in the face for users there. Then you have south america and australia out of the mix too.
So when RIM gets back on their feet, especially in the US, you still going to ignore the markets that kept you afloat?
what about some smaller local events in some countries?
yup...they are ignoring Asia at their own peril. Ingrates! I don't buy the timezone argument. Well, 9am in NYC would be 730PM in India and 9PM in Jakarta. They could have done a cocktail event and invite the regional stars/press etc...
surfindunkey Dec 18, 2012 at 1:22 pm
Hi Kev...any clue on how to get an Invitw to the launch in dubai...would really love to attend...have like a fan following..kinda just family n friends who've been converted and willing to give up their droids n apples...just to get the new bb10...would so love to be thr when it launches...ps great work on the site...n keepin us crackberry addicts strong n moving forward with hope..ur motivation n courage is strength for the masses!!..=)
Rootbrian Dec 18, 2012 at 3:41 pm
Gonna be a blast in toronto and crackberry NEEDS to be there!
coolaide Dec 19, 2012 at 7:47 pm
Hope CMO thought about some supperbowl commercials here in the U.S. We love our football here and if its on the superbowl millions will see at the same time.
BBVegasGirl80 Dec 20, 2012 at 10:56 am
Are these the only confirmed dates? I'd like to think they will add more. So for those who don't have a launch in their city, hey, you never know! :-)
Mikethaler Dec 23, 2012 at 3:22 pm
Of course by the time events take place in the U.S. and Canada, it will be "old" news from Africa and London.

The lights were dim Wednesday at Fox 2. Desks were barren with imaginary tumbleweeds. There were no celebrity guests in our green room. Prop storage was more like the set of a horror movie."I don't mind working today," said Fox 2 reporter Al Allen. "I haven't worked the Fourth of July in a long time, but it was fun. We did the parade this morning in Milford and we had a great time, we really did. The weather was nice. It was warm, but it was nice. No complaints."What would he call all the people that took the day off? Slackers? Ne'er-do-wells?"I would say so. I worked. They can work, too."However, in his video report, Jason Carr shows you that just because you're at work doesn't mean you're working hard. He even managed to file this report without leaving the building.

If we can't plead stupidity, what else is there? How do we live with ourselves? Is it all the stuff we buy that manages to numb our brains and consciences?
When I see a headline like this one at Bloomberg today, World Needs Record Saudi Oil Supply as OPEC Convenes, there's just one thought that pops into my head: what the world needs is for us to stop doing this thing we're doing. Even apart from peak oil concerns, it's obvious we're going to run out at some point or another, and it doesn't matter whether that's tomorrow or at some other point in the future, though we do know it's not going to take another 100 years, or even 50.
And nothing will ever take the place of oil; once those unique carbons are gone, that's it, we'll have to find a completely different way of running our societies, and if we're not smart enough to prepare for that beforehand, we'll be cats fighting in a sack and use the last scraps to kill off each other. And our legacy won't be the Greek thinkers and Picasso and Dostoyevsky and Walt Whitman and Maria Callas, since there won't be the means for our children anymore to share what makes man great between them. Our main legacy will instead be bloodshed, we will have gone the exact same path that any non-thinking or even primitive organism would have taken, who don't have opera or philosophy or poetry to their name.

LONDON — Recognizing what he described as his failing strength of "mind and body," Pope Benedict XVI announced Monday that he would step down as head of the Catholic church, the first pontiff to give up his duties since 1415.
"After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry," Benedict said in a statement.
Federico Lombardi, director of the Vatican press office, said Benedict will move to the papal residence in Castel Gandolfo following his abdication on Feb. 28, then return to Rome to live in a monastery of cloistered nuns inside the Vatican for a period of prayer and reflection.
In Washington, President Barack Obama said he and first lady Michelle Obama, "on behalf of Americans everywhere," extend their "appreciation and prayers" to Benedict.
"Michelle and I warmly remember our meeting with the Holy Father in 2009, and I have appreciated our work together over these last four years," Obama said in a statement released by the White House. "The Church plays a critical role in the United States and the world, and I wish the best to those who will soon gather to choose His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI's successor."
The choice by the 85-year-old pontiff, born in Germany as Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger and ordained a priest in the aftermath of World War II, shocked lay Catholics and high-ranking clergy, including the pope's closest aides.
"It came as an enormous surprise," said Cardinal Donald Wuerl, archbishop of Washington, who last saw Benedict in Rome in October. "He presided at meeting after meeting after meeting," Wuerl said. "There was no doubt that he was in full possession of his faculties."

Giants' Sanchez, Cards' Ludwick awarded
Players named NL Co-Players of the Week
Giants left-hander Jonathan Sanchez was a near lock to receive National League Player of the Week honors after tossing 2009's first no-hitter on Friday. Which means that Cardinals outfielder Ryan Ludwick had a heck of a week at the plate to be named Co-Player of the Week.
Sanchez and Ludwick were named co-winners of the Bank of America award on Monday for the week of July 6-12.
Sanchez struck out 11 and allowed just one baserunner -- on an eight-inning error by third baseman Juan Uribe -- in his no-hitter against the Padres on Friday. The start was the southpaw's first since a brief demotion to the bullpen after going 0-4 with a 7.45 ERA in four June starts. The no-hitter the first for the Giants in nearly 33 years.
Ludwick batted .481 (13-for-27) with four doubles, four homers and 15 RBIs in seven games for the Cardinals last week. He twice homered and drove in three runs in wins over the Brewers, while twice driving in four runs in wins over the Cubs. He finished the first half by going 5-for-9 with two doubles, two homers and four RBIs in the Cardinals' doubleheader split with the Cubs on Sunday.

Ashley Rodrigue / Eyewitness News
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com | Twitter: @ashleyrwwl
WASHINGTON PARISH, La. - The last time the 49ers were in New Orleans, linebacker Ahmad Brooks tore up the field and Drew Brees.
Now, as he returns for the Super Bowl, family members from Angie are looking back at Brooks' career and hoping that the stars have aligned for Ahmad.
"All we could think about was, we wished his daddy was there," said his mother, Vergie Brooks.
Perry Brooks won Super Bowl XVII with the Washington Redskins. He died suddenly during the spring of 2010, and now his son's team shares similar colors and is playing the big game 30 years, almost to the day, after he did.
For Brooks' family, having that happen down the road from home makes a win make sense.
"Even though he was the only one of the children to be born in Virginia, and the other two here, it's just still, he knows his roots are here," Brooks said. "It's just exciting."
The superstitious scenarios go even deeper, especially when it comes to Brooks' grandfather, a lover of sports.
"His name is Vergil and her name is Vergie, but coming through that namesake. She brought along a son and I'm so happy for him because he's 86 and lived to see this," said Brooks' aunt Yvonne Mondy-Robinson.
Brooks' grandmother, Ora D. Brown-Williams, said, "The 49ers are going to win, we have to, we've got to, we will."
To help those stars align, the family is placing a tribute to both Brooks' father's Super Bowl, and his own, at his father's grave, and keeping the phrase 'Play Hard.. Play Smart,' words from Brooks' father, on their wrists.
The hope is that a little bit of fate goes a long way.

Responding to what it called a "fast-moving outbreak" of salmonella-caused sickness in at least 19 states, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Friday that the company recall of nut butter products made by Sunland Inc. and sold under many labels has more than doubled to at least 240 products.
The recall list includes several well-known brands and a variety of peanut butter products as well as almond butter, cashew butter, tahini, and roasted blanched peanut products. This random list indicates the range:
- Archer Farms Creamy Peanut Butter
- Fresh & Easy Creamy Peanut Butter Cups
- Harry & David Creamy Caramel Peanut Spread
- Costco's Kirkland brand Organic Creamy Peanut Butter
- Peanut Butter Newman-O's Sandwich Crème Cookies
- Sunland Organic Thai Ginger Peanut Butter
- Talenti Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Gelato
- Trader Joe's Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter
- Whole Foods Treasure Trove Mix (bulk foods)
- Yogurtland Dark Roast Peanut Butter with Flax
Not every container of the products in the list above or the much longer lists available from the FDA and from Sunland is affected. It depends on the batch, as shown by the UPC or SKU numbers. Those numbers can be found on the recall lists and on product containers.
The lists from the FDA and Sunland, however, may not contain all the recalled products. The Talenti Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Gelato in the list above, for example, does not appear on either of those lists.

The Sacramento Bee on Saturday published a release from PR Newswire saying that the one-pint container of this gelato – with UPC code 1 86852 00094 5 printed on the back of the container and "Best By" date range of 3/21/13 through 3/26/14 printed on the bottom of the container – is being recalled by the company.
The recall affects products made at the Sunland facility in Portales, New Mexico, between March 1, 2010 and September 24, 2012, the FDA said.
Sunland has established a 24-hour, toll-free line that customers can use to contact the company for information about the recall: 1-866-837-1018.
The outbreak strain – Salmonella Bredeney – was identified by the Washington State Department of Agriculture laboratory in a jar of Trader Joe's Valencia Creamy Peanut Butter collected from the home of one of 35 patients reported infected so far, the FDA said.
Trader Joe's has posted a notice to customers about the recall on its website.
The voluntary recalls are being conducted by the companies involved.
The recall effort began Sept. 23 when the FDA and the federal Centers for Disease Control briefed Sunland on their findings. On the evening of the next day, Sept. 24, Sunland expanded the recall to about 100 products, the FDA said. The company expanded the list to 240 on Thursday.
"Consumers should not eat the recalled products," the FDA said. "This is especially important for children under the age of 5 years, elderly adults, and people with weak immune systems."
Symptoms of salmonella infection include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps occurring 12-72 hours after infection, with the illness usually lasting between four and seven days, according to the FDA. Most people recover without treatment, but some patients can develop severe complications.
Customers with affected products within the current shelf life, or "Best-if-used-by" dates, should return them to wherever they were purchased for a refund or discard them, the FDA said. Those past their shelf life should be discarded.
The FDA and CDC are continuing to investigate with cooperation from several state health departments.

Leah Cosmetics Bag 30 30
roomy and perfect for travel the cosmetics case is very roomy, with zippered pocket and other side pockets, i really like it and find that everything fits inside perfectly - room for a hairbrush and a big tube of toothpaste even. August 14, 2014
cheerful Nice size cosmetic bag and very cheerful when I take it out to use. April 30, 2014
Great cosmetic bag This is a roomy cosmetic bag that fits all of the items I need when travelling. Love it and highly recommend it. February 4, 2014
Great Cosmetics Bag I bought this for my daughter on sale. She loves this bag. January 8, 2014
LOVED it but room for improvement... I LOVE almost everything about this cosmetic bag. Perfect size. The only quirt I found is that the zipper is too short. If GH redesign this with and extended zipper down the sides about an inch or so and a loop to hang it it would be perfect. I got the "leaves" and I adore the print. January 4, 2014
Cute and sturdy It is a nice bag with quite a few pockets to help organize the contents. I like the material but wish it had a feature so one could hang it on a hook or towel bar when traveling. January 3, 2014

Answer:Unfortunately, we are not able to provide a photo of the interior of the bag. When opened, the bag has a separate, centeralized compartment with a zipper closure that divides the bag into two separate halves. Each interior sidewall of the bag has a zipper pocket as well; one is clear plastic and the other is mesh.
