This is cool:
Tags:Product (Red) and the (Red) Blog
I saw a promo for it last night (during all my fun twilight zone travel adventures) in Vanity Fair. I love Bono. He is doing good things for the world.
Here's the basics:
(RED) was created by Bono and Bobby Shriver, Chairman of DATA, to raise awareness and money for The Global Fund by teaming up with the world's most iconic brands to produce (PRODUCT) RED-branded products. A percentage of each (PRODUCT) RED product sold is given to The Global Fund. The money helps women and children with HIV/AIDS in Africa.
I love red.
(And in case you are wondering, I am in Vegas at the airport patiently and calmly waiting to get home.)

I saw that that was the Oprah program last Fri - I didn't get to see more then a couple minutes of it though. Sounds like a good idea.

I saw the Oprah show where she and Bono went everywhere where everything was red and part of this. Love all the words they used: inspi(red), admi(red), etc... from Motorola phones in red, to Gap t-shirts, jeans with red stitching to red shoes.

Oddly enough, the first place I saw this was on the Apple website/email. Very cool idea.
BTW, anyone looking to buy a Nano in the near future - it's one of the RED products right now.

So sorry you weren't able to make it home last night...and you seemed so ready to be back home with your boys. Sometimes, you're right, it is just not OK! For what it's worth, I wanted to say thanks for a great class (fav. photos)this weekend. I loved every second of it! You are such an inspiration. So so glad you were back on the east coast. Good luck making your way home... And yes, the product red concept is brillant. BONO is BRILLANT. I so respect and admire him. He really puts himself out there. I ran out on Saturday to purchase some items and did my small part to help the cause. Looking forward to helping out some more as new products are available.

Loved Bono on Oprah and this Vision!! I think everyone this holiday can give sooo much more than a material item. I know this season I will be giving Living gifts. I hope everyone gets on board. As a nation we love to consume so now we can shop with a bigger mission. Thanks for getting the word out.
