Here she is, folks!

Petra Nemcova

The Fortunoff press release goes on to say:

"Supermodel and activist Petra Nemcova is the first personality associated with the brand since Lauren Bacall, who served as spokesperson 26 years ago, the company said in a media release.

Nemcova—known for her charitable endeavors as well as her beauty—will serve as the face of the company's regional advertising campaign and its fall and holiday jewelry catalogs, reaching over two million consumers nationwide.

A portion of the proceeds from select items will benefit the Happy Hearts Fund, which Nemcova founded in 2005. The fund provides aid to children who have suffered loss or hardship as a result of natural, economic or health-related disasters."


Humanitarian? Utter Blasphemy by mentioning Petra Nemcova and Mother Theresa in the same breath.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.

How is it that just anybody can write a weblog and get as common as this? Its not like youve said anything incredibly impressive --more like youve painted a pretty picture over an issue that you know absolutely nothing about! I dont desire to sound mean, here. But do you really feel that you simply can get away with adding some fairly photos and not genuinely say anything?
