Wrist action
Move over ribbons, the new cool way to state your compassionate affiliation
is with a wristband. Gay giftware company Proud has launched its End
Homophobia wristband, £2.50, and will be selling them
at Pride events around the country this summer (see page 65) and from its

Since its inception in 1994, the MAC Aids Fund has raised
more than $42 million to help men, women and children 
living with HIV/Aids. Astonishingly, the majority of this comes from the sale
of a lipstick – that’s the power
of fashion for you. They achieved this with the help of celebrity endorsements
from the likes of Linda Evangelista, Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott.
This year, Pamela Anderson has taken up the gauntlet for MAC’s latest
instalment, Viva Glam V. This is especially poignant as Pamela lives with
hepatitis C and knows what it is like to live with a chronic illness.
It’s worth remembering MAC cosmetics underwrite all Viva Glam expenses
and 
contribute 100 per cent of the retail price of each
lipstick to the MAC Aids Fund.
Viva Glam V Lipstick, £11, Viva Glam V Lipgloss, £10.50,
available from
MAC outlets and good department stores. See www.maccosmetics.com.
