Gisele Bundchen Launches Her Own Lingerie Line with a Victoria's Secret-Like Runway Show

>> Why have a Victoria's Secret contract when you can have your own lingerie line?

>> Why have a Victoria's Secret contract when you can have your own lingerie line? Gisele Bundchen, who left her Angel wings behind in 2007, has launched Gisele Bundchen Intimates with Brazilian company Hope, set to hit 2,000 stores May 25. Bundchen kicked off the collaboration with a runway show in Sao Paulo last night, festooned in oversized bows and feather headdresses remniscent of a VS runway. The model, who still holds the crown for top-paid model (five years running now), and makes double her husband Tom Brady's salary, looks like she won't be giving the title away anytime soon.

Do You Hunt Down Wines That You've Read About?

I love reading articles about wine almost as much as I love drinking the wine.

I love reading articles about wine almost as much as I love drinking the wine. The best wine writers transport their readers straight to the glass. Often, I'm so inspired that I'll be on the lookout for a particular wine, as I was when I read Jon Bonné's recent story about white wines for Spring. I happened to be shopping at Whole Foods and came across the Hope Estate Hunter Valley Verdelho, so I bought it. I didn't exactly detect "scents of chervil and thyme" as Jon Bonné did, but I certainly enjoyed the piquant wine, and would buy it again. Do you do the same thing?

Should Obama Sound More Hopeful?

President Obama can't seem to catch a break from the Clintons when it comes to this "hope" thing.

President Obama can't seem to catch a break from the Clintons when it comes to this "hope" thing. During the primaries, Hillary mocked him saying:

The skies will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect. Maybe I’ve just lived a little long, but I have no illusions about how hard this is going to be.

Now that he has the job, Bill wants Obama to sounds more hopeful. In a new interview with ABC, the president from Hope, AR said he:

[Liked] the fact that [Obama] didn't come in and give us a bunch of happy talk. I'm glad he shot straight with us. . . . I just want the American people to know that he's confident that we are gonna get out of this and he feels good about the long run. . . . I like trying to educate the American people about the dimensions and scope of this economic crisis. . . . I just would like him to end by saying that he is hopeful and completely convinced we're gonna come through this.

It's true that since his victory speech on election night Obama's been peddling somberness much more than hope. Would you like to see the president be more optimistic when it comes to the economy?

Taking Risks

We've all taken risks that may have challenged our fears, forced us to change, or dared us to try something new.

We've all taken risks that may have challenged our fears, forced us to change, or dared us to try something new.

There can be emotional risks, like breaking off an engagement, or physical risks, like learning how to rock climb. Both kinds require a certain amount of boldness, trust, and belief in yourself, knowing that everything will be OK afterwards, but most of all, it takes a whole lot of hope that things will be even better than before. For example, you may be nervous to quit your job, but you have hope that following your dream to be a teacher will make you happier. Hope can be a great force to ignite risk taking.

No risk is too small, you always learn something about yourself and overcome a fear. Plus, taking risks builds your confidence and your inner-strength, so you feel more comfortable taking risks in the future.

Some people are born risk takers, and others need to be coaxed or forced into it. Whatever makes you take the risk, whether the outcome was good or bad, it adds to our experience as human beings. So I want to know...

What's the most difficult risk you ever took that helped you grow the most?

You Asked: My Ex is Still Part of my Present

Dear Sugar-- Lately I can not get my ex fiance out of my head.


Dear Sugar--

Lately I can not get my ex fiance out of my head. We have this connection because we have a son together who is five years old. When we see each other, we always kiss and hug each other, sometimes we even have sex. Neither one of us are currently in another relationship and I have asked him numerous times if we can try to get back together but he says he doesn't know if it could work given our history. My question for you is should I let him go or stay hoping and praying that there's a chance we can make it? It is driving me crazy, it consumes my mind. Please help. -- Optimistic Olivia

Get Your Butt in Gear: Enell Sports Bras

Like I have said before - Support 'em if you got 'em.

Like I have said before - Support 'em if you got 'em. Let me tell you I think the Enell Sports Bra is going to keep your girls in line. The bras were designed specifically for large breasted women to enable them to workout and play sports comfortably.

Made of double layered fabric, the bras create less friction and are ideal for long distance running. They are constructed from Naturexx fabric that not only helps dissipate body heat, but wicks away moisture as well. Their site has a page full of testimonials and Oprah's O magazine loves them.

They come in a variety of colors, and the pink one pictured is the Hope Bra since Enell donates $6 to the fight against breast cancer for every pink bra sold. You can order one online from Angel Bras for $62. I guess good support doesn't come cheap.
