Maria Sharapova: The Comeback of a Diva
By David Kane
No matter how you use the word, few would argue that Maria Sharapova isn't a diva. She may have a nerdy laugh and sardonic sense of humor, but never let that cloud the vision of a woman for whom image is – dare I say it? – everything. She wears dainty dresses (on and off the court), indulges in handcrafted "Sugarpova" candy, and has the flowing carriage of a Rachmaninoff piano concerto.
And if there is anything we know about divas, it's that they do not share the spotlight easily.
The 2012 season brought plenty of highs to the Russian superstar, none higher than the Roland Garros triumph that completed her pristine set of major titles. Yet coming into "The Fifth Slam" in Istanbul, one could not help feeling as if she was but a footnote to the so-called "budding rivalry" between Victoria Azarenka and Serena Williams.
To say either of these women dominated Sharapova would be an understatement when one recalls how the two eviscerated the Russian in major finals throughout the year. While Azarenka herself has as paltry a success rate against Williams as Sharapova, she played the American tough at the US Open final, and was at least getting closer to improving their 1-9 head-to-head.
Sharapova, by contrast, seemed to be regressing against both, with only a lone victory against Azarenka on indoor clay to show for her numerous matches against the two. Most recently, she had blown a set and a break lead to Azarenka in Flushing, and barely contested a straight-set blowout in Beijing. That both nemeses were placed in the Round Robin group opposite the world #2 appeared more like an act of charity than anything else.
Leave it to diva to spend the week reminding us all how dangerous she truly can be.
Playing on a grittily slow hard court with a roof to protect her from the elements, the tall Russian went undefeated in round robin play, showing off her unflappable dominance against Sam Stosur and Championships debutante Sara Errani, along with her sheer determination to eek out a three-set tussle against Agnieszka Radwanska.
The semifinal versus Azarenka screamed "now or never" for Sharapova. Where the Russian was at a confidence peak and playing on a surface that favored her, Azarenka had been decisively beaten by Williams, and barely survived a battle against Angelique Kerber. With the year-end #1 no longer up for grabs (Azarenka had clinched the spot by qualifying for the semis), Sharapova played a pressure-free match and put a long-overdue beatdown on the Belorussian. Her oft-absent serve was on full display, and punctuated the hard-fought victory with an ace to make her first Championships final since 2007.
Facing primary nemesis Serena Williams, expectations for Sharapova were lower than they were before she played Azarenka. Despite beating the American to win her only Year-End Championships in 2004, the Russian's 6-0, 6-1 loss to Williams at the Olympics final represented a nadir after a succession of ignominious defeats.
To be fair, Williams has rarely played less than her best against Sharapova. Had she come out on Sunday even half as flat as she was during losses to Ekaterina Makarova in Australia or Virginie Razzano in Paris, the story could have ended differently for the Russian, who acquitted herself well with another day of strong serving. But as Serena has proven time and time again, her "A" game is simply better than Sharapova's, leaving fans pleasantly surprised that the Russian won the most games against Williams since Wimbledon 2010.
Sharapova's 2012 may have ended in defeat, but she did a lot in a little time to reassert her presence among the game's elite. To borrow a few of her "Sugarpova" flavors, the Maria Sharapova can be sassy, quirky and even a little silly; but in Istanbul, she was all that a true diva aspires to be: memorable.

The world's preeminent leadership organization for girls teams up with the world's leading food magazine
to offer cookie lovers a chance to win prizes by submitting Girl Scout Cookie–inspired dessert recipes
February 2, 2015 — NEW YORK, NY — Today Girl Scouts of the USA announced the first National Girl Scout Cookie Recipe Contest, Sponsored by Taste of Home, the world's leading food magazine. Through March 2, Girl Scout Cookie enthusiasts can create and submit their favorite dessert recipes using the iconic cookies as ingredients, for the chance to win prizes ranging from $250 to $500, plus a spotlight feature in Taste of Home.
Chefs of all levels, from home cooks to established professionals, are encouraged to submit Girl Scout Cookie-inspired entries in one of four categories: (1) cakes, pies, cupcakes, (2) cookies, brownies, bars, (3) pudding, ice-cream, gelatin desserts, and (4) candies. The experts in the Taste of Home Test Kitchen will review and test the recipes, selecting the top 16—four from each category—based on taste, visual appeal, creativity, and crowd appeal.
From March 30 to April 14, the public will have a chance to vote for their favorite finalist recipes at www.girlscouts.org/recipecontest. The recipes with the most votes in each category win and winners will be announced in mid-April.
"Each year, we see so many excited cookie fans share their own recipes using Girl Scout Cookies via social media and more, so we figured it was high time to do something with all this positive energy," said Anna Maria Chávez, CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA. "The creative possibilities are endless, just like the number of ways girls use their cookie money to give back to their local communities."
Taste of Home Editor-in-Chief Catherine Cassidy is equally enthusiastic about the contest and the opportunity to collaborate with Girl Scouts. "Fostering a sense of care and community in homes across America has always been part of the fabric of Taste of Home," she said.

The weekend will celebrate the positive impact girls make on their communities through the Girl Scout Cookie Program.

"The annual Reader's Digest Most Trusted Brand™ survey reaffirms that trust, as well as cost and product quality factor into Canadians' brand affinity and loyalty," said Erin Schnarr, Director, Integrated Sales & Marketing Solutions. Almost 9 of every 10 survey respondents reported that once they trust a company, they tend to act as ambassadors, recommending its products and services to friends and families. "Trust plays a key role in consumer purchasing decisions and it can tip the scale favourably toward a particular brand."
In an independent opinion poll commissioned by Reader's Digest, Ipsos Reid conducted a nationwide online survey of more than 4,000 Canadians, including 1,500 Quebec residents to identify brands they trust. Respondents were asked for their most trusted brand within each category in an open-ended question format. The Most Trusted Brand™ status is awarded to top brands across 40 product categories including sunscreen, vitamin, hybrid car, coffee retailer, snack bars, pet food, life insurance company, airline and more. Some of the most trusted brands according to Canadians include:
New this year, Reader's Digest celebrates brands that have won Most Trusted Brand™ in the same category for five or more consecutive years. "With 76 percent of survey participants reporting it takes many years to earn their trust, these brands deserve recognition," said Schnarr. In addition to the traditional blue seal, these brands will also receive a special gold seal. The 2015 gold winners are:
The full list of Most Trusted Brand™ winners will be published online at trustedbrands.rd.ca. In addition to brands, Canadians also ranked the professions and institutions they trust most. Firefighters (77 percent), ambulance drivers/paramedics (74 percent) and pharmacists (70 percent) ranked highest, while the least trusted include national politicians (6 percent), car salespeople (5 percent) and telemarketers (4 percent). Among the most trusted institutions are medical research (34 percent), tourism (26 percent) and airlines (26 percent).
Trust has always been an integral facet of the Reader's Digest brand. Serving as an ambassador for the importance of trust, Reader's Digest first launched the Most Trusted Brand™ survey in Asia in 2000. It has since grown into a global initiative, playing an important role where it is used to gauge consumer attitudes and opinions related to products, services and professions, and to recognize the world's most trusted brands.
About the Survey
In an independent opinion poll, commissioned by Reader's Digest, Ipsos Reid conducted a nationwide online survey of 4,026 Canadian adults, including an oversample of 1,510 Quebec residents. The sample was stratified by language (English n= 2,619 and French n= 1,407). The survey, fielded August 26 to September 2, 2014, was weighted by age, gender, and region according to census data to ensure that the overall sample reflects the demographic profile of Canada and Quebec. The precision of online polls is measured using a credibility interval. The Canadian sample of n=4026 has an associated credibility interval of +/- 1.8% and the Quebec oversample of n=1510 has an associated credibility interval of +/- 2.9%, 19 times out of 20. Winning brands are determined by votes and confirmed to be statistically significant from next brand(s). Any categories where the winning brand is not significantly different from the other brands will be considered a tie.

Reminisce Magazine Celebrates Readers' Treasured Memories With Refreshed Content and Design
Top-selling nostalgia publication elevates America's love of looking back
New York, NY – With a mission to inspire readers to share cherished experiences and meaningful memories, Reminisce – America's top-selling nostalgia magazine – introduces a new design and updated content with the November issue.
In the spirit of celebrating Reminisce's history as a place for reading and sharing memories – and to attract new generations of consumers steeped in nostalgia – the November issue features changes that will continue to integrate reader stories that have a universal appeal across generations.
"In the digital age, where every event can be documented and shared in real-time, the ability to create memories has never been more profound, but nostalgia can also feel fleeting, with Tweets and Facebook posts that quickly disappear into a newsfeed," said Liz Vaccariello, Editor-in-Chief and Chief Content Officer, who spearheaded the redesign. "Reminisce has always been a place for cherished memories to live forever as part of a collectible, coffee-table experience. The joy of sharing special moments is universal and we tell our readers' fond stories in a familiar, positive and uplifting voice."
In aiming for a timeless design with simple structure for readers, enhancements include an update to the magazine cover, which has been transformed into a cleaner design, delivering the immediate emotion of nostalgia. The logo has been refreshed in a modern yet vintage, custom font and the publication features a new, simple tagline, "Welcome Back," to reinforce Reminisce's warm, friendly voice and appeal across decades.
Editorial highlights include three new sections:
• Built It Myself: Celebrating readers' ingenuity and handiness
• Parenting Pride: Lets readers brag about the moments when their kids made them beam
• The Reminisce Interview: A unique and special conversation between generations of families
Other classic sections from Reminisce's earliest days – Memorable Moments, Growing Up, Motoring Memories, Our Heroes and Pictures of The Past – have returned to the pages or been enhanced. A majority of the photography and illustrations in each issue will be reader-submitted.
The redesigned magazine will be accompanied by an updated website (www.reminisce.com), scheduled to launch in early November. The new look and expanded content will also carry over to Facebook, Pinterest and Google+, and the Reminisce newsletter. Additionally, the brand's online and social media platforms will display more visuals and sharable content, evoking nostalgia and increasing engagement among visitors of all ages and backgrounds.
Published by Reader's Digest Association, the redesign was led by Editor-in-Chief and Chief Content Officer Liz Vaccariello and Design Director Dean Abatemarco. Reminisce boasts an audience of 3.7 million, with a rate base of 873,000. The highly engaged audience spends an impressive 3.5 hours with the magazine.
Reminisce is North America's top-selling nostalgia magazine, which takes readers on a sentimental ride back to the 40s, 50s, 60s, early 70s and beyond. The magazine and its website www.reminisce.com celebrate readers' cherished experiences with a collection of user-generated stories of friends and loved ones, cultural milestones and vintage keepsakes.

New York—September 16, 2014 –Reader's Digest Association today announced the launch of the R.E.A.D. Together campaign in partnership with the Reader's Digest Foundation, a four-year commitment to provide a combination of financial and marketing assistance to promote parent involvement in childhood literacy. Research has shown that a child's ability to read on grade level by third grade is a top indicator of high school graduation and career success. Parent involvement in the early development of a child's reading skills has been shown to be one of the most crucial interventions for reaching this milestone.
Under the R.E.A.D. Together program, Reader's Digest will make a $1 million commitment to promote childhood literacy beginning with a two-year, $500,000 grant from the Reader's Digest Foundation to the Parent-Child Home Program (PCHP), a leading early childhood literacy organization that promotes active parental involvement in early literacy and language development with a view to ensuring school readiness. The Foundation's support will help PCHP expand its services in New York City, Westchester and Milwaukee.
R.E.A.D. stands for Read, Engage, Advance, Develop and Together emphasizes the importance of parents, grandparents and other caregivers as children's first teachers. Regardless of income level, family involvement at a very early age is crucial to helping kids start on a path to succeed in school and life.
To kick off R.E.A.D. Together, RDA has created a Pledge To Read campaign, which encourages parents, grandparents, caregivers, family and friends to post photos reading with the children in their lives to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #PledgeToRead. (Details at rd.com/readtogether.) The goal is to raise awareness of the importance of reading with children for 30 minutes a day. The October issue of Reader's Digest currently on newsstands features a story on the importance of parents being involved very early on in reading and interacting with children to ensure their development and profiles a successful graduate of the PCHP Program. Also starting in September, additional information and resources for parents will be featured on ReadersDigest.com, and RDA employees will participate in volunteer programs to further support family literacy and the families being served by R.E.A.D. Together.
"Reader's Digest has a strong history of making reading an engaging, celebrated element of family life," said Bonnie Kintzer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Reader's Digest Association. "When the company learned about the urgent need to help children reach grade level literacy standards by the third grade, we knew that this was an issue that Reader's Digest should champion. We are so pleased to support the expansion of the Parent-Child Home Program's valuable and effective programs and to raise awareness to parents everywhere as we kick off our R.E.A.D. Together program."
PCHP has been effectively engaging parents to improve early childhood literacy and learning for 50 years. Research shows that PCHP graduates graduate from high school at the rate of middle class children, 30% higher than their socio-economic peers.
"We are so grateful for all of the support from the Reader's Digest Foundation and the entire Reader's Digest Association," said Sarah Walzer, Chief Executive Officer of the Parent-Child Home Program. "Research demonstrates that reading well by the end of third grade is a critical milestone toward academic success, and ultimately, economic self-sufficiency. PCHP's research and proven methodologies over the past several decades show that when parents are involved in helping children learn to read, children's reading scores improve dramatically. So our approach is to give parents the tools they need to help foster good reading skills in the home in children at an early age."
According to the Annie E. Casey Foundation, currently 67% of U.S. students miss the third grade reading marker, and this number increases to 80% among low-income children.
PCHP's program provides a two-year cycle of twice weekly home visits to two to four-year-olds and their parents. Using books and educational toys that are gifts to the family, trained home visitors model reading, play, and conversation activities, building language-rich home environments, increasing positive parent-child interaction, and developing the pre-literacy, social and emotional skills that are essential for school readiness.
About Parent Child Home Program
The Parent-Child Home Program's (PCHP) nationwide network of program sites provides under-resourced families with the necessary tools to ensure their children achieve their greatest potential in school and in life. Since 1965, PCHP has been assisting underserved communities in replicating and expanding this proven school readiness program that builds early parent-child verbal interaction and learning at home. Through twice-weekly visits by highly trained community-based early literacy specialists, PCHP provides families the skills, materials (books and educational toys), and support to help parents engage and teach their children. Almost 50 years of research shows that the Program effectively increases school readiness, decreases the need for special education services before grade 3 by 50%, and increases participants' high school graduation rates by over 30% to the same level as their middle income peers.

New Reader's Digest Poll Finds Americans Turn to Family and Faith to Find Happiness
Reader's Digest Reveals Global Survey Results on
How Community, Faith, Family and Work Impact Happiness
NEW YORK, NY (June 2, 2014) – Americans are turning to family and faith and place less importance on work to find happiness, according to a new global poll conducted by Reader's Digest, one of the most read brands in the world. The survey asked readers around the world to rank the most important factor to their happiness: community, family, faith or work. Compared to other countries, Americans ranked among the lowest in the importance of work to their happiness and ranked the highest in regards to the importance faith has on their happiness.
More than 6,800 readers in 10 countries participated in the survey, with results available online today at RD.com for U.S. readers and in the June issue of the magazine's international editions. The Reader's Digest global happiness poll was conducted online in the United States, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia and Slovenia.
In every country, on average, family was seen as the most important component for happiness. In fact, it was ranked number one by almost three-quarters of respondents (71 percent). Faith came in a distant number two (16 percent) across all countries, except in Brazil and the United States, where about a third of respondents in each country named it as top priority (26 percent and 33 percent, respectively). Work ranked number three (7 percent) and community took the last spot in the survey (2 percent).
"The poll reinforces the idea that success in the workplace doesn't always equate to happiness. The connection of success in work to a happy life seems to have been left by the wayside and replaced by family and faith," says Raimo Moysa, editor-in-chief of Reader's Digest International Magazines.
In the U.S., 63 percent of respondents reported that family was most important to their happiness, 32 percent believed faith was most important, while only 3 percent responded work and 2 percent said community.
Significant results of the poll include the following:
Survey participants answered the question, "Which of the following are most important to your personal happiness?," regarding community, family, faith and work and ranked "1" as the most important through "4" as the least important to their personal happiness. In addition, participants were asked for their gender, age and marital status. The poll was conducted Feb. 10-21, 2014, with a follow-up conducted in March through early May.

For the second year in a row, the June/July issue of Country—the magazine for readers who love the land and life of the countryside—unveils a special section, "Hidden Gems of the National Park System," where readers can view the Top 10 most magnificent, unheralded parks across the country.
Country turned to their talented scenic photographers to help create this collection of coveted parks hidden among our very own countryside. Photographers were required to adhere to three criteria: the locations must be public, not among the 100 most-visited national parks and of course, beautiful! Country editors then cut down the list to deliver this list of the most stunning and unexplored places in America. New this year, the magazine shares useful information and tips on each area's offerings, including canoe rentals, treetop tours and zip lining, putting extra emphasis on the untapped opportunities our National Parks offer.
"While it might seem incongruous to call a 10,000-square-mile national forest a 'hidden' gem, this country is so big that even a scenic wonder larger than seven of our 50 states can disappear into the vastness," said Country Editor Robin Hoffman. "Looking to the expertise of our photographers for the second year in a row, many of the gems featured in Country's June/July issue are well off the beaten path and some are simply hidden in plain sight. This list is another way to note that nature's beauty surrounds each and every one of us—if you know where to look."
Discover some of the spectacular sights that made the Hidden Gems list:

|ESPN.com: College Basketball Nation
|[Print without images]
Eron Gordon is still in the eighth grade, but he has picked up his first college basketball scholarship offer.
Gordon, the youngest brother of former North Central High School and Indiana star Eric Gordon, was offered by Indiana coach Tom Crean on Sunday night. The 6-1 Gordon played in the IndyBall.com Shootout over the weekend, playing up an age group with the 15-and-under Eric Gordon Central Stars.
Eron's father, Eric Gordon Sr., said Eron will take an unofficial visit Wednesday to Purdue. He could receive another offer.
"He's the definition of an 'attack-the-basket' type of guard," said Pat Mullin, his travel coach.
Gordon is an eighth grader at Westlane Middle School and plans to attend North Central as a freshman. Eric Gordon Jr. was Indianapolis Star Indiana Mr. Basketball at North Central in 2007, then played one season at IU before heading to the NBA.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 1/3/14
As Tuesday's announcement of Canada's Olympic roster edges closer, Tampa Bay Lightning center Steven Stamkos nudges ever so closer to potentially being a part of that team. Stamkos continues to skate and increase his movements on the ice as he recovers from a broken right tibia suffered Nov. 11. Though there remains uncertainty as to when he will be able to return to action, Stamkos maintains his goal of wanting to be a part of the Olympic experience next month in Sochi, Russia. "I'm a pretty driven guy. I set goals for myself and I'm going to do everything possible to know that I'm going to be able to look at myself in the mirror and say that I did everything in my power to try and be on that team,'' Stamkos said. "So that is something that is a goal of mine. I want to come back and play hockey for the Tampa Bay Lightning before I go to the Olympics if that's the case, but it's nice to have that goal so you have something to shoot for to get through some of the tougher days.''

Travel Troubles
Last night, I was subjected to an extensive drug search at Sydney's central station after a sniffer dog plucked me out of the crowd.
Over the next 20 minutes, I was made to answer questions, hand over my licence, take off my shoes, empty the contents of my bag and stand spread-eagled against a wall while a police officer patted me down; all in full view of the public.
Eventually, they found what had set the dog off - a bag of novelty garden seeds. No really.
For some reason, NSW Police thought that Wednesday evening was the perfect time to launch a drug operation on random train commuters wearily heading home from work. I was unlucky enough to be strolling past in the midst of the crackdown.
As I passed the above sniffer dog, I knew something was up: it took a whiff at me and then kind of zeroed its snout towards my jeans pocket (worryingly close to my crotch, I might add).
Before I could say anything, a second police officer sprang out of nowhere and informed me that they had reason to believe I was carrying an illicit drug.
They corralled me into a corner near the CityLink staircase and proceeded to ask me about my drug habits: did I have any drugs on my person? Had I recently smoked cannabis? Had I been around people who had been smoking cannabis?
Obviously, I answered in the negative each time. Meanwhile, my train was due to arrive any minute, which caused me to repeatedly glance at my phone's clock until they told me to place it on the floor.
I was then made to remove my shoes and splay myself against a wall while one of the police officers patted me down. They also wrote down my name, address and mobile phone number.
Now, I have no idea whether any of the above treatment was a violation of my civil rights - but you tend to just go with the flow when multiple police officers are telling you to do stuff. Short of being ordered to strip and bend over for a cavity search, I was going to agree to whatever they wanted.
Meanwhile, hundreds of fellow commuters were gawping at me as they walked past, just as I've often done myself. Until that moment, I'd always assumed the guy getting patted down probably had something to hide.
After making me empty my pockets and fiddling about with the waistband of my jeans, the police decided to go through my bag. This was the most traumatic part; and not because I was worried they'd find anything illegal.
Y'see, my bag is like a Doctor Who Tardis specifically designed for refuse - it's filled to bursting with all manner of weird junk, some of which dates back decades.
Among the items they wordlessly pulled out were an old Amiga Power magazine from 1994, an Avengers Vs. X-Men graphic novel, a Leap Motion controller, old bills, old socks, a macaroon stuffed inside a muesli bar box and a L'Oreal face cream for men (look, it was just a phase I was going through. Shut up.)
There was also, inexplicably, a black cape. I have no idea where this came from or how it got in there.
Finally, one of the police officers found something that gave him pause.
"What's this?", he asked as his partner stepped closer, presumably to block off my escape.
At first, I had no idea what I was looking at. Then I remembered what it was. Around eight months ago, Electronic Arts sent out a bag of novelty garden seeds to promote the video game Plants vs. Zombies 2.
Like everything that comes across my desk, I stuffed it in my bag and swiftly forgot about it. Now they had come back to haunt me.
"Er, they're seeds," I replied weakly. "...Normal seeds. Not drug seeds." I quickly added. The police officers both carefully examined the contents. After a few nail-biting moments, they agreed to let me go.
The moral to the story is that sniffer dogs are idiots. Also, you might want to leave your horticulture gear at home during drug crackdowns. Tch.

Near-Mint 1799/8 15 Stars Reverse Dollar1799/8 $1 15 Stars Reverse AU58 NGC. B-3, BB-141, R.3. Die State III. The last 9 in the date was punched over a previous numeral 8. There are 15 stars on the upper reverse, but, as Bowers notes in his Encyclopedia, "to the uninitiated the two extra stars are not readily seen, at least at first." It seems that the engraver punched in too many stars, and attempted to cover his mistake by grossly enlarging two of the clouds above. He mostly succeeded, but telltale bits of the excess stars' points remain evident. This is a highly impressive specimen, despite the few minor flaws that prevent it from receiving a Mint State grade. The predominant russet-gold toning across both sides is interspersed with areas of steel-gray color. The design elements are crisply struck, except for parts of the eagle's head, breast feathers, and shield. This die variety is the most available of the three overdates of the year, and AU examples are only very scarce, rather than rare.

... we caught the tram (9) out to the partly completed Nazi Rally Centre, now called The Documentation Centre which chronicles all things Nazi. And they don't pull any punches but say it exactly like it was, warts and all. This place is massive, the parade ground was designed for 100,000 troops and the Congress Hall 50,000 people. The commencement of the War brought the whole project to a halt. The Congress Hall (not finished as designed) now houses The Document ...
... a brilliant bike path along the Danube / Main Canal. After a little while we picked up a nice tailwind which whipped the girls into a racing frenzy, scooting along at 25km/h. However we eventually ran into the first of many detours of the day which slowed proceedings down to a more sedate pace. Apart from the lovely countryside and water views there wasn't a great deal to see today. ...

The burial place for a whole raft of saints, bishops and other hangers-on. We only got to see the "church" bits, what went on below decks would have been much more interesting.

Miu Miu Madras Textured-Leather Shoulder Bag: Fly Off the Handle
Especially as we look ahead to the fall season, which always calls for more polish and structure. But back to that handle! Attached with delicate yet geometric metal hardware, it sets an otherwise (somewhat) classical bag off with just enough quirkiness. An accordion-style shape gives way to three spacious compartments, and you can attach an optional shoulder strap when you feel the need.
Prada Saffiano Print Lips Satchel and Lipstick Shoulder Bags: Loud Mouths
Irreverent? Absolutely. Exciting? Yes, indeed. Unexpected? Well, that's almost always to be expected from Miuccia. With a respective abstract print and floral motif, the Lips satchel and Lipstick shoulder bag, equally colorful and frisky, might bring to mind pieces of modern American Pop art from the mid-1950s. They're already as instantly recognizable as some of those icon-inspired works of art; actually, they might rapidly reach some small-scale "icon" status of their own.

Snob Essentials Drew Embossed Tote with Tassel: Off-Duty, On-Trend
We may not all have the jet-set lifestyle of supermodels, but we can have their bags! In fact, our Drew tote was inspired by the women who rule the catwalks. The one catch? We didn't design it based on the inaccessibly-priced, for-show-only runway pieces these women carry at work.

Recent reviews:
October 27, 2014 - I bought these because I thought they were a great alternative to the bracelets, unfortunately, everyone I gave them to could either only fit it on their pinky finger, or could not wear it at all. These only come in one size and are very small, they don't stretch like you think they would. They need to make them bigger, or possibly thinner so they can stretch without cutting your circulation off. I even tried soaking them in hot water and stretching them over the broom handle over night thinking it would make them bigger, but that didn't work, as soon as I took them off the broom they went right back to same size. So unless you have tiny fingers watch when you buy these.
October 13, 2014 - When I first purchased this ring,I thought I was ordering only 1 and then received the package of 5. What to do with 5, I thought and then decided to give the other 4 to who was walking the Susan G. Komen race/walk with me that year. That was several years ago and I now order 5 to 6 pkgs. for the walk and pass them out to the Survivors who are also walking. They love it and it certainly makes me feel good! I will keep doing this each year. I also wear one, being a 12 year Survivor.
March 2, 2014 - Have purchased these rings twice, just recently in February 2014. Love them! Fun to wear, fit great! Get great compliments on them! Give them away to friends and supporters! Fours years a survivor!
December 30, 2013 - I too have purchased these rings and given them to friends who support me so much through this terrible disease. I love them as well and so do the women that I give them to. If some are too snug for ppl then my husband wears one for awhile and does a great job of stretching them out to fit whichever finger we like to wear them on. My only wish is that you offered the rings in plain pink. The camo is tacky and outdated. Please try to offer both styles. Thank you for YOUR continued support on behalf of all of us battling cancer. Keep up the fabulous work!
March 8, 2013 - I am a 3 Year Survivor & I always wear one of these Fun Rings & even though I also wear some really fab ruby & diamond rings THIS is the ring that gets all the attention! I have ordered them many many times & if I ever have any of the 5 left I keep them in a pocket & give them away to Folks with Survivors in the Family...have Survived themselves like my Mother-in-Law...or anyone I meet who has a Loved One going through the Fight now & needs encouragement & hope & Love. so...I order more & pass Hope along.
