UCLA's Undie Run
The Undie Run at UCLA has a cause that is, "hey, school's out, let's get crazy!" The Underwear Affair has a more worthy cause: raising money for prostate, colorectal, cervical, ovarian, kidney, bladder, testicular and uterine cancers. 
Why these types of cancers? For the most part, these cancers, found below the waist do not get as much exposure due to their location on the body. In terms of buzz about fundraising for cancer, colorectal is just not as sexy. But all cancer is important to talk about and find a cure for, hence the Underwear Affair for City of Hope, which was named one of the top 25 cancer hospitals in America (a top 25 urology facility nationwide) by US News and World Report in July. 
The event is a team 10K Run/5K Walk near the La Brea Tar Pits where runners/walkers dress up in undies or some sort of costume. Participants raise money from family and friends.



Moss Claims Modeling is 
      'Brain Damaging'
Kate Moss decided to design her own line for UK high street fashion chain Topshop to set herself a stimulating new challenge.
She said: "Modeling can be a bit brain damaging. Starting my own brand was what I needed to do. I only model if there are such good jobs that you don't want to say no to.
"All that dressing up makes me say, 'What do I want to wear?' and, 'What do I want to do with Topshop?' It all kind of leads into the other things."
The 34-year-old catwalk queen also admits she still behaves like a teenager, despite having a five-year-old daughter Lila Grace from a previous relationship with magazine publisher Jefferson Hack.
She said in an interview: "I am still acting like a seventeen-year-old. I definitely haven't become middle-aged. I've got a house and a daughter and all that, but I still like to have fun. Even in my business we still have fun."
However, the supermodel insists Lila always comes before anything else, adding: "I'm a mother. All the time. Every day. I put my daughter to bed."
Kate admits she enjoys being able to lead a luxurious life, but isn't motivated by fame and fortune.
She explained: "I like making money. But I don't call people up every day to see how much I've made. As long as I have what I need at the time. I mean, I can buy the house that I want."

    Fantasy Recognizes their 
             Rising Stars
Fantasy acknowledges the achievements of their latest additions: Chris Rollins & Jeremy Friedman. Chris Rollins is the son of one of the most respected representatives the industry has ever known, Larry Rollins. Although young in age, Chris brings years of experience with him. “While most kids would see family or hang out with friends in the Summertime, Chris would be traveling with his Father and would be working with many of the same buyers he works with today” reports Sean Monahan (National Sales Mgr for Fantasy Lingerie). “Since Chris took over for his Father, he has continued to raise the bar in what has become a challenging time for many others. I cannot say enough about Chris. I’m happy to have him on board & pleased to see him performing and enjoying his job”. Chris Rollins handles: Florida, AL, GA, N & S Carolina, TN & KY. He can be reached at (404) 486-0550.
Another addition that has posted growth in each of the last 4 months is Jeremy Friedman (New York & New Jersey Territory). “Immediately after interviewing Jeremy, we visited a few new accounts in NYC & each call was a success- from that point on, he’s never looked back” claims Sean. “Jeremy is one of the most enthusiastic salesman I’ve ever met and he really takes care of his customers. I’m so pleased to have him on our team & I look forward to seeing him have years of success in this business”. Jeremy can be reached at: 516-761-6682.
Both Chris & Jeremy share the spotlight with other successful Fantasy Reps such as Robb McCullough (previously VP of Leg Avenue) and Joe Sternberg (Fantasy’s Salesman of the Year for last 4 years).
