OOPS! In our March issue we incorrectly attributed the framed sketch and vinyl artwork on page 130. Apologies: they were in fact created by You&Me Design and Illustration. WINNING LETTER As a teenager, I mistakenly held the belief that being skinny equalled being popular and beautiful. Thankfully with age comes wisdom and maturity and I came to see that people are beautiful for their different attributes. Sometimes, the prettiest visage can house the ugliest of people inside. Your This Much I Know with Robyn Lawley (March 2014) drives this message home. Women and girls are constantly bombarded with images portraying what s beautiful and how we can supposedly achieve this benchmark. Lawley stands up against the size-2 stereotype; she s healthy and curvy and has a positive self-image. Women should aspire to this and teach their children that there s more to beauty than being thin; that our values, intellect and health contribute towards prettiness. The world needs more plussized models like Lawley. Andrea Brown wins a Lacoste hamper WIN! A DOLCE & GABBANA DOLCE HAMPER VALUED AT R3 000! This month s letter winner will receive a Dolce & Gabbana hamper including three Dolce fragrances worth R The NEW Dolce EDP is a gentle, feminine mix of white fl owers with the freshness of neroli leaves and defi ned by white amaryllis, a South African fl ower used for the fi rst time ever in a scent. The opulent and sweetsmelling fragrance blends white water lily and daffodil with the full-bodied white amaryllis, counterbalanced by warm, musky notes and complex accents of cashmeran. Dolce s elegant packaging is reminiscent of a vintage-fragrance fl acon with its thin,black grosgrain ribbon presented in an elegant bow which conjures images of the white shirts and bow-ties that were a signature look of early Dolce & Gabbana catwalk shows.
