| SEEING RED |
 It's official: RED is the new black. Bono has joined forces with Bobby Shriver of DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa) to propel RED, a new venture that supports the Global Fund through iconic products and brands. After a successful launch in the UK ($5 million and counting), the initiative is heading stateside this October. RED has created products with Armani, Gap, and Converse, with Motorola now adding a red RAZR phone to the mix. The Global Fund, which invests in African AIDS programs, earns up to 50 percent of the takings. With Bono's history, we wouldn't be surprised to see a red iPod soon, but don't wait around to spend—head to the RED website to see all the products and give to a great cause. Go to www.joinred.com |
