CANDIDS FROM SOUTH AFRICA TO NYC

Supermodel Naomi Campbell, rapper/actor Ludacris and singer Corrine Bailey Rae came out to support Nelson Mandela's 46664 World AIDS Day concert via a press conference in South Africa yesterday. Featuring notable South African and American artists such as Ludacris, Peter Gabriel, Razorlight, Annie Lennox, Corinne Bailey Rae, the actual concert will concide with World AIDS Day which is today (December 1st).

One consistency with the UK model Naomi is her love for the former South African President besides who can forget how in the past she called Nelson her "honorary grandfather"?! The concert, which happens to be fund-raising campaign named 46664 after Mandela's prison number, is for a good cause...and hopefully it'll get televised over here in the States and not just in Johannesburg.


Nelson Mandela's daughter, Maki Mandela, bought AIDS awareness to the people of China via a press conference for Miss World Pageant's 'Beauty with a Purpose' campaign. At the event, Maki pose with Miss World Pageant Director Julia Morley. Doesn't Maki look exactly like her father? It's great that she's supporting her father's charity cause...



Back in New York City, Thandie Newton attended Calvin Klein's museum opening. 'First Look' grand reopening celebration of The New Museum on the Bowery took place a day after Thandie's red carpet spot in London. Not showing a bit of jet-lagged, Thandie of course wore a piece from the designer's Fall 2007 collection.

This is Stewart Parker, an Australian reptile handler at Ballarat Wildlife Park in Victoria.

Model British Royal Navy ship HMS Victory made from bones and human hair goes to auction!!!

A model of the British Royal Navy ship HMS Victory made out of beef bones and human hair will go under the hammer today. The 28in long model, which was made by French prisoners-of-war incarcerated in British jails during the Napoleonic Wars, will go on auction at Bonhams and is expected to fetch up to £30,000.

It was built from left-over beef bones from the prisoners' meals to pay for their upkeep. Bones form the hull while human hair was used for the rigging and paper tissue for the flags. Other details include anchors, belfry and ship's boats. It is even fitted with pull cords with bone finials for operating the guns.

Check out this Volkswagen advertisting campaign featuring Seal with his wife, Heidi Klum:


AD spotted at Sandra Rose

Here's a few thoughts that ran across my mind when I caught this picture over at the site of our good friend Sandra Rose: Why is Seal posing like he's Superman?? Anyone wondering why Seal's 'car' is dirty and Heidi is clean like I am??

BOOK TO KNOW: LETTERS TO MY SISTERS


"Letters to My Sisters: Plain Truths and Straightforward Advice from a Gynecologist" by Dr. Ngozi Osuagwu


Reading is an activity I exercise from time to time as a therapeutic experience. One book I recommend to Feels Good 2 B Home readers is "Letters to My Sisters".

Nigerian and African women, in my opinion, sometimes don't speak about their health-related issues to one another but Dr. Osuagwu's cautionary tale breaks down that wall. "Letters to My Sisters" is similar to that one crucial talk a female would have with their role model or mother. Only 128 pages long, "Letters to My Sisters" is a easy read and has a friendly conversational tone.

Spearheaded by Ben Posah Books (a publishing company lead by Nigerian engineer in New Albany, Ohio), "Letters to My Sisters" is quickly becoming a underground book success as Wendy Williams and MC Lyte are its famous readers.

"Letters To My Sisters" is available via Ben Bosah Books.

The world's most advanced prosthetic arm!!!

Great news for amputees!!!
Amputees could soon be fitted with prosthetic limbs that enable them to regain their sense of touch, thanks to a break-through new bionic hand device.

"This work offers the possibility that an amputee may one day be able to feel with an artificial limb as though it was his own. Sensors could be placed in a prosthetic hand to measure contact forces and temperature, while a device could press or thermally stimulate the reinnervated skin to provide sensory feedback that appropriately correlates to hand perception."

The technique could soon be used to make artificial arms that can reproduce feeling, possibly within as little as two years.
