Many Execs’ Real Title Is ‘Mom’
When 287 female executives were asked what parts of their lives define them, the top two answers were mother and hobbies, followed by spouse and career. According to the survey conducted by the T Co., a high-fashion T-shirt company based in Larchmont, N.Y., 69% of those polled said they regularly participate in a hobby. Gardening was the top hobby, followed by yoga, tennis, golf and fishing.
Swimsuits for All Shapes
CosmoGirl magazine’s “Rescue 911” page shows readers the best swimsuits of the season--for any figure. In the current issue, problem shapes are addressed with the best two-piece options to make the summer sizzle.
For teens who have few curves, CosmoGirl suggests triangle-shaped string bikinis to accentuate the top and bottom and give a sexy, curvy illusion. Floral-print options are available from Malibu Dream Girl and Rusty Girls.
Pear-shaped teens may want to bring more attention up top by wearing an underwire-bra top, or adding a little cleavage by choosing a suit with a built-in pad. Esprit and Roxy by Quiksilver have several options.
For those who are a little on the busty side, CosmoGirl suggests an athletic-style suit with sports-bra type top. Sunset separates and Rajman make flirty styles that will keep teens comfortable and confident.
For the slightly fuller figure, Cosmo Girl suggests a sweet, sexy tankini that gives the wearer a bit more coverage without having to wear a one-piece suit. Tankinis are available from Baja Blue and Guess swimwear.

Bulgari says the necklace has a retail value of about $450,000.
