What Does Heidi Klum Support?

noreply@blogger.com (Ms. Pizzaz) — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 21:15:00 +0000

Heidi Klum is putting her supermodel status to good charitable use. With an eye for both high fashion and women’s health issues, she also demonstrates a knack for combining the two. She has made a habit of donating the dresses she has worn to assorted celebrity functions to charity. Her Oscar gown went to the Red Dress Program, and Klum also modeled at a fundraiser for that charity, which raises awareness about heart disease in women.

Another of her garments went to the ‘27 Dresses’ auction benefitting the Lavender Trust Breast Cancer Charity. (The Lavender Trust at Breast Cancer Care raises money specifically to fund information and support for younger women with breast cancer. It was founded in 1998 by Justine Picardie and Beth Wagstaff, in memory of Justine’s sister Ruth, who died of breast cancer at the age of 33. It is the only fund in the UK dedicated to addressing the particular needs of this age group.).

Heidi also found time to attend Madonna’s gala for Raising Malawi (volunteer organization which helps orphans in one of the poorest countries in the world (Malawi) by providing water, food, medical care and schooling.)

She’s also a supporter of UNICEF (for every child---Health, Education, Equality, Protection), skin cancer charity IMCG (NYU School of Medicine’s Interdisciplinary Melanoma Cooperative Group for which she modeled a t-shirt), and the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (creating a future of hope for children and families worldwide by eradicating pediatric AIDS, providing care and treatment to people with HIV/AIDS, and accelerating the discovery of new treatments for other serious and life-threatening pediatric illnesses).

Do what you can with what you have and more will come your way!!

Heidi Klum Jewelry Collection!

noreply@blogger.com (Ms. Pizzaz) — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 14:41:00 +0000

It's time to accessorize like the beautiful person you are even if you don't have the paycheck to match. Heidi Klum is beautiful and designed her own jewelry line.

Here's what she has to say about it:

"The Heidi Klum Jewelry Collection is a dazzling line of fine jewelry designed by Supermodel Heidi Klum. The collection was inspired by one of Heidi's visits to Italy during which she was intrigued by a clover-patterned marble inlay at the Duomo in Milan. Heidi envisioned the clover as an adornment piece and expressed her desire to incorporate the symbol into the design of a jewelry line."I think it's beautiful as a woman to have a good luck charm that you can keep with you... that someone can give to you. It's sweet and meaningful," says Heidi. The collection is for the fashion-conscious woman whose taste in jewelry is timeless and elegant, much like Heidi's own style and beauty."

Tyra Banks' Charities

noreply@blogger.com (Ms. Pizzaz) — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 17:57:00 +0000

I mentioned Tyra Banks and her wealth and wanted to also touch base with you about how she helps people. Here's a list:

Ms. Banks is on the board of advisors for the Yéle Haiti Foundation: Changing thousands of lives in this desperately poor but optimistic nation.
Yéle Haiti uses music, sports and the media to reinforce projects that are making a difference in education, health, environment and community development.

“The objective of Yéle Haiti is to restore pride and a reason to hope, and for the whole country to regain the deep spirit and strength that is part of our heritage.”- Wyclef Jean

She supports the Dream Foundation, their mission is to enhance the quality of life for individuals and families battling terminal illnesses.

The mission of the Tyra Banks TZONE Foundation is to build a sisterhood movement among women and girls by raising funds and making grants to community-based nonprofits that serve low-income, disadvantaged girls. The Foundation is committed to supporting visionary organization that enable women and girls to achieve their full potential.

In her words: "I started TZONE with my own money because I feel I have a responsibility to raise the awareness of the needs, ambitions and accomplishments of women and girls and to encourage others to join me in funding outstanding community-based organizations that help women live into their full potential. That’s the purpose of my Talk Show and American’s Next Top Model – to inspire women to take positive action to realize their ambitions.

Part of the Pizzaz Lifestyle is not only the glitter but what you can do with what you have to make life around you better...and better for someone else. I always say that when I'm wealthy I will help the economy because I will higher everything out: housekeeper, cook, yard person, pool person, etc. People laugh when I say that but really, that's a great way to spread your wealth by giving more job opportunities to someone else in business.

Tyra Banks & $23 Million

noreply@blogger.com (Ms. Pizzaz) — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 01:14:00 +0000

This just in from Anne Lu - Celebrity News Service News Writer
Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Supermodels Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum both have one or two things in common with each other, apart from being catwalk beauties. They also top Forbes' primetime TV's top-earning women list.

The two reality series hosts and Victoria's Secret angels, one former and the other one current, are numbers 1 and 2 at the new list compiled by the magazine. Banks, who earned $23 million from June 1, 2007 to June 1, 2008, is ahead of her runway pal by $9 million.

The list is ranked according to estimated earnings, not just from their TV jobs, but also from production, movie, endorsement, and fashion ventures in a span of one year. For the women who are lucky enough to have made it on the list, their earnings aren't just limited to their per episode salary.

Here's the top three of Forbes' 20 Top-Earning Women in Primetime TV:
1) Tyra Banks - $23 million
2) Heidi Klum - $14 million
3) Katherine Heigl - $13 million

You don't have to be a star to be wealthy, so that's not why I list them, but they are well known. There are women who are pretty unknown who are making the big bucks and I think I'll look into that for another blog because I'd love to see how they live and what they like.

Paris Hilton & the Sneak Peek Tote?

noreply@blogger.com (Ms. Pizzaz) — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 18:10:00 +0000

It's fun to have the bling and it's great to share what you have. So we talked about a purse Paris Hilton likes to use and we'll show another one in a minute but let me tell you a bit about what else she does.

Paris is involved with children fundraising and in finding solutions for those who suffer from breast cancer. She often visits many children hospitals and works for children's charities, specialized in multiple sclerosis and AIDS cases. She helps those who are less fortunate and live in homeless shelters. Many times, she goes through her clothes sells them to donate the money raised to charity. Her entire family does this fundraising once a year, as well. Paris always donates countless number of old and new clothes to charity, and even to her fans. Another way of raising money is by simply attending or hosting a party and giving the amount she gets paid to charity organizations.

Some charities she is involved with:

Life Rolls On Foundation provides hope and advocates on behalf of young people whose lives have been affected by spinal cord injury.

Playing For Good, founded by Scott Lazerson in 2006, it is an organization which helps businesses and celebrities get involved in philanthropic work. In September, 2007, Playing For Good held their first annual summit, and presented checks to Millenium Promise, Keep A Child Alive, which provides life-saving anti-retroviral treatment to children and their families with HIV/AIDS in Africa and the developing world by directly engaging the global public in the fight against AIDS, Spread The Net, provices nets for bed to prevent malaria-carrying mosquitoes to bite. Sleeping under an insecticide-treated bed net has been shown to reduce malaria transmission by at least 50 per cent and the mortality of children under five by up to 25 per cent. Their solution: One net. 10 bucks. Save Lives; and The Hawn Foundation which is dedicated to supporting children by advancing mindfulness training in educational, healthcare and community-based settings.

Okay so there you have it!

Take a peek at our Urban Expressions Sneak Peek Tote (style #2612) and you will find yourself wanting to take a longer stare.

Who's got the best handbag???

noreply@blogger.com (Ms. Pizzaz) — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 14:27:00 +0000

Who's got the best handbag??? Okay it's all about the bag, right? Look at what Eva Longoria is wearing on her arm...FUN!! She was in the news this weekend. For those of you who don't know, she was born and raised in Texas and attended Texas A&M. She began with beauty pagents and soap operas then landed on "Desperate Housewives"...but we all know that part. But she is a great actress; if you haven't seen her in "Sentinel" go rent it and watch.

Did you know she is the youngest of four sisters who grew up on a ranch in Corpus Christi, Texas. And I heard she loves rock climbing, motocross, kick boxing, yoga and enjoys salsa dancing, crocheting and home decorating. Sounds pretty normal. I don't know what we think but when we hear about an actors or actresses background, sometimes we are surprised if they sound so much like the rest of us.

And she gives back!!! (Don't you love it when those who achieve much give back much!)

Eva Longoria signed shoes for the Spirit of Women Red Shoe Celebrity Auction (the national cornerstone of “The Red Shoe Initiative”, a national health education and action campaign that aims to encourage women on a local level throughout the year to take important steps for their heart health. )
She founded Eva’s Heroes---dedicated to providing an inclusive setting for individuals with developmental disabilities to interact and grow) to help developmentally disadvantaged children.
Eva has been the National Spokesperson for Padres Contra el Cancer since 2005---Parents Against Cancer---improving the quality of life for Latino children with cancer.

Okay so many women not only want to look like her but we can also be like her by participating in organizations that help others and we can also own a bag like hers. Click on the photo link below to order yours today!!
