Yes, one needs to be skeptical when it comes to celebrities making endorsements and corporations making donations to charities. But this one passes the sniff test for me. (Mmmmm... the smell of freshly washed and dried laundry!)
Angie Harmon of Law and Order fame is a rare breed in Hollywood. Not only is she conservative, but she is gracious, lovely, and she has her priorities straight. She gave birth to her third daughter about 5 months ago, and she has found a great balance between her home life and her career.
Now she is teaming up with Purex to help women in under-developed countries, while also making a small difference in the impact on the environment.
The company has come up with a new product called Purex 3-in-1. Rather than a separate bottle for laundry detergent and fabric softener and then a dryer sheet, the product comes in a thin plastic wrapper which contains treated sheets that clean, soften and stop static. (The sheets can be stored in an initial refillable container that they sell -- or it seems to me, you can use any old suitable plastic storage you have lying about.)
And as an introductory promotion when you purchase this new product, you can direct the donation of $1 through the company's partnership with Kiva which arranges micro-loans to women who are starting small businesses in order to help their families overcome the devastating poverty around them.
I'm heading out to buy my package today -- and when I go on-line to say where I want that $1 to go, I just might add a few more dollars of my own.
Here is the link for more info: www.PurexChangesLives.com
And here is a link to a group within Kiva that I found: http://www.kiva.org/team/christians_against_abortion
My only hesitation about buying the product is, I'm wondering -- isn't the detergent itself not as eco-friendly as other new "green" products?
Still -- the Kiva organization seems to be pretty cool...
OK, I will comment on her beauty in a gentlemanly way... NOT GUILTY!!
I don’t watch television, but...good gosh, she IS very attractive.
Even better that she has efficiently functioning gray matter to match her physical beauty, apparently.
I vote not guilty as well.
No guilty!!! I can’t wait until her Law and Order episodes come out on DVDs. I keep buying the box sets of each season but nothing with Angie yet.
Angie was on in Seasons 9, 10, and 11, or September, 1998 through May, 2001.
The pix of her on the sailboat in the high heels is yummy. Quite the knockout!
Thank you for the info. I still have a few seasons until they get to those. I can’t wait!!!
I actually really liked the “Women’s Murder Club” - my wife and I read all the books and thought she did a great job.

I like it, but I don’t like the fact that she is divorced in the show.
Is she married to a former New york Giants strong safety?
She’s married to Jason Sehorn.
He proposed to her on the Tonight Show — it was really touching. She was genuinely surprised, and they both looked so happy!
Leno chose it as one of his Top 5 Favorite Moments during his tenure on the show.
