White bands: this year's ultimate fashion statement
 The Make Poverty History white band - as modelled by Keane, Jamelia and Lemar at the Brits - is this year's ultimate fashion statement, according to a recent report in The Guardian. Apparently, the wristbands (that symbolise the international campaign against poverty) have become the 'latest accessory for the cool-but-caring celebrity'. The bands - available in all Oxfam shops and online for a pound - have even been put up for auction on eBay and are selling for 8 or 9 times that amount. But, as The Guardian says, 'The spectacle of wristbands designed to raise awareness of global poverty being traded for profit as fashionistas rush to buy has prompted the swath of charities behind the campaign to attempt to crack down on the practice.' More here: 'Wearing your heart on your wrist becomes a fashion statement'.
