Braille Slogan T-Shirts
Silkscreen Plus is receiving positive responses from a line of cheeky-slogan Braille T-shirts designed by entrepreneur Kara Euvino.
The clothing line, which also includes tank tops, features sayings on the chest area such as ‘pure trouble’, ‘nothing artificial’ and ‘magically delicious.’
Euvino was quoted as saying: "It's something different. I mean, especially to have it in the breast area. It's a hoot."
Euvino also takes requests for the T-shirts with 15% of the proceeds donated to charity.

Breast Feeding Bill
In a Victoria's Secret store, surrounded by frilly bras and blown-up images of barely covered models, Lori Rueger says she was told to find somewhere else to breast feed.
Rueger's story — told during a hearing in support of a state bill to ensure breast feeding is allowed in public places — so angered a state lawmaker that he's urging women to form a national Mothers Against Victoria's Secret movement.
"It's really kind of subhuman behavior. And subhuman behavior warrants some kind of strong response other than just a little law that we pass in South Carolina," Rep. Walt McLeod, D-Little Mountain, said Wednesday.
Rueger was one of more than a couple of dozen mothers, doctors, lawyers and other breast-feeding advocates who were on hand to urge passage of the bill.
The 29-year-old Charleston mother testified that she was in a Victoria's Secret store in suburban Mount Pleasant and was told by an employee that she could not breast feed her baby in a dressing room and was encouraged to use a restroom in a nearby store instead.
A Victoria's Secret spokesman described what happened with Rueger as a misunderstanding and said it has actually had a positive effect by reopening a dialogue on the issue.
Victoria's Secret has a "long-standing policy to allow nursing in our stores. We are still for and about women," said Anthony Hebron, spokesman for the chain's parent, Limited Brands.
The breast-feeding bill may face a tough time in the House Judiciary Committee from Rep. John Graham Altman, R-Charleston, who says he supports the concept, but not the mandate on businesses.

Fox's Younger Model
The Fox fashion chain has decided to replace Yael Bar Zohar with a younger model - Esti Ginsburg.
"The agreement with Ginsburg is for two years," Fox announced, and the decision to separate from Bar Zohar after four years is part of "a long process that was created along with Bar Zohar herself."
But Fox has a problem. The decision to end the relationship with the model who is the most identified with any fashion chain in Israel put the company into a spin. Only the proper management of its future advertising can pull it out of the spin safely.
One of the biggest advantages Fox had over Castro in the last few years was its unified advertising message, based on the "couple" of Yael Bar Zohar and Yehuda Levy, who were featured together in Fox's campaigns.
A few years ago, Castro was in the same position as Fox: Its premier model, Sandy Bar, left and the chain needed to find a replacement. After two unsuccessful campaigns with two different models, Castro stopped trying to find the female image to lead it, and decided to start a campaign where "the clothing is in the center."
It was clear that the solution was forced on the company after it was unable to find a dominant personality to lead the campaign. Fox needs to be careful not to make the same mistake, and must manage the change perfectly.
Bar Zohar was identified with Fox whenever she appeared anywhere - for good and for bad. Her salary was estimated at $250,000 a year, and she was featured in two big campaigns, winter and summer, as well as photos for the catalog and various spots for the company.
Ginsburg will earn a lot less, but there is a mechanism for raising her wages from season to season; for now, her salary will start in the low five figures.
