Perfectly Imperfect

SPX-020847.jpgThe world needs more of Gemma Arterton.  She is a gorgeous 22 year old who is the new Bond Girl in Quantum of Solace.  Ugh you say, but no! She is not your average Bond Girl.  She was born with six fingers on each hand and a crumpled ear, all of which were corrected when she was small. She is very proud of not being perfect and confesses she was born with many deformities. Read more here.

In Ouagadougou first ladies from the west African countries of Benin, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Mali, Niger, Togo and Burkina Faso are coming together to try to put an end to the awful awful tradition of female circumcision (aka genital mutilation) that is happening in over 30 countries today. This is a great first step in helping make the world a better place.  It fits in with what I have been saying this week to my kids.  "No one can do everything, but everyone can do something."  Read more here.

Sexiest Woman Alive

"I don't know exactly what it means, but being 42 and having just had a baby, I think I'll take it," says Halle Berry, about her being named the sexiest woman alive by Esquire magazine in its November issue. Berry, who gave birth to daughter Nahla in March, says she can't claim the honor all for herself. "I share this title with every woman, because every woman is a nominee for it at any moment," she says. We'll all take that.

Benefits of Bailout Bill for Green Consumers

bigstockphoto_Trree_Hugger_3148327.jpgYay! I think I can finally convince my husband to put in a solar system with these great tax credits:

+The $2,000 tax credit limit for residential solar systems has been lifted, meaning that homeowners can get a 30% tax credit on the solar panels they install after Dec. 31, 2008. That will save folks who want to install a system serious money -- especially for those who live in states with generous state rebates. (If you buy a $24,000 3-kilowatt solar array in California -- big enough to power the average home -  you can claim a $7,200 federal tax credit. Add in the state solar rebate and the cost of the system is cut in half.)
+  The bill also includes tax credits of $3,000 or more toward the purchase of fuel-efficient, plug-in hybrid vehicles. To learn more about plug-in hybrids, click here.

Go girl!

ALO-027943.jpgCameron Diaz is one of the only people I know who can pull off wearing BRIGHT red lipstick.  I mean seriously, I would look like a clown in that. First of all I would need a good teeth whitening treatment before even thinking of wearing that color. Do you think the whitening stuff messes with your enamel.. hmm..  Anyway, she is shown here Oct.1, in Hollywood at the AFI Night at the Movies.
