Reese Witherspoon is a Global Girl

Reese Witherspoon is a Global Girl

Avon Global Ambassador Reese Witherspoon attends a press conference introducing Japan’s partnership with the United Nations Development Fund For Women (UNIFEM) to introduce the “Women’s Empowerment Bracelet”, on Wednesday in Tokyo, Japan.

Reese was also the guest of honor at a traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony where she met female breast cancer survivors.

“As Avon’s Global Ambassador, I’m honored to have this opportunity to meet with such extraordinary women, and experience a highlight of Japanese culture,” Reese said. “While their courage is inspiring, I was saddened to hear that only about 12% of women in Japan receive regular breast cancer screening. The lack of testing equipment and breast cancer experts in Japan means that many women here do not have access to the medical technology and care that is critical to diagnose and fight this deadly disease.”

Reese, 32, also introduced Avon’s first-everglobal fundraising product, the Women’s Empowerment Bracelet, which features a clasp in the shape of the infinity symbol to carry the message of the limitless possibilities for women. Over half a million units of the Women’s Empowerment Bracelet have already sold in the U.S.

I think reese looks nice and i don’t think she is pregnant.but reese looks like she’s….changed.I don’t mean that in a bad way or good way
either.I thought Reese looked way better in 2005 and 06.she wasn’t too fat or skinny she was just right.Plus i notice in some recent pictures like she is tired around the eyes or something.

I usually think she looks cute. Not as cute here. In these pictures her face looks different. I don’t think it’s just the new haircut.

OMG, She is not exactly beautiful woman… These shoes are ridiculous!

Run, Jake, run!

67, I agree totally with you! Jake is much sand to Reese´s truck.

Highly overated fugly phoney midget.

She has ugly toes!

S, you don’t want me to call you Mr. S. But with that kind of comment, I am not even sure if I can call you Mr. S!

Poor the women of yours, if you were a man, and I feel so sorry for you, if you were a woman. Unless you have breast-cancer, or you know somebody who suffered from breast-cancer you will not even be able to imagine how terrifying the disease for the women is!

And I feel so sorry for your teachers and your parents to have somebody like you. Just because you don’t like Reese Witherspoon, somebody you don’t even know, you call “japanose women” (btw, it is Japanese Women) garbage. From wherever you are, I feel so sorry for your country, because it seems the education system in your country - I hope it is not corrupted by your own government - has failed!

Japanese Women have a very high standard of culture and education. They may be many things, but garbage is certainly not one of them!

boring, boring, boring, borzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Her problem is not her chin. It’s her over bite which misaligns her jaw and makes her chin sort of jut out somewhat. As she gets older it’s going to only get worse. Other than that, she seems like a lovely person. HOpe she has a happy life.

This Angie chick (#44 and #57) who things she looks so much better than Reese is obviously not only beautiful and sexy but v.e.r.y. humble. Nice combination. If you live long enough, Angie, somebody will cheat on you or worse. Nobody is immune from life’s little heart aches, even you..

I love Reese, She is adorable with her sweet smile. I don’t think her feet were supposed to be in the shot and thats why she is wearing those shoes.

solaris
You aren’t good in psicology. You can’t identify if I am a man or women. At first my family has lot of medicine and second. Remember I am not german. The german abandon their parents in homes or asylum. I know what is a death illness because I heled my grond parents when they were ill and death.You can’t think or reading…

Yopu don’t know about the woman in Asia. They are extremily submissive!!
If the japanese women have a very high standard of culture and education why only 12% of women in Japan receive regular breast cancer screeming and many women do not access to medical because thare are lack of testing equipment…

The woman of Africa has lot of necessities. They haven’t equipment….
What AVON and Reese Witherspoon are making in a very rich country like Japan. Exhibitionist and fake woman ! Try to go to Africa to see how poor the people are. FAKE and COWARD woman!

The woman of Asia have been always slave!

Until now they kill the girls when they born.
The situation of woman in Japan isn’t worse because the japanese like to imitate the european. Chine has 40 million man more the women because when the chinese women discover that they are pregnant of girl, they pracftice abortion…In India lot of man kill their wifes to married again and become money of family of the new woman…And the muslem of Alfgasnistan is a society of gays whose hate woman!

The japonese young woman is famous at present because they would like practice prostitution to buy mark clothes, shoes etc…

And Solaris…
In Germany you are stupid if you want because thare are exelent libraries and good television channels or cultural life…

You talk about Asian women without any respect! There are so many layers in a culture that you have to study for years, some times even for all of your life, and still you don’t understand them.

Part of a woman’s body, let’s call it by name, breast, is a very important part of a woman. Some are ashamed, some are afraid if they find out that they have cancer. High education doesn’t free you from fear. They have high culture. If you learn more about East-Asian Cultures, you will find out that they exist since long time ago, and some of them preserved. It doesn’t always fit to our western cultures, but it doesn’t mean that it is lower.

Reese doesn’t go to Japan because she wants to save the world from Hunger, but it is because her Job demands it. What is the different if Reese go to Asia or Africa. The fact that there are many women who do not receive treatment against breast cancer is sad for me. It doesn’t really matter if they are Asians or Africans. Breasts are breasts, it doesn’t really matter what colour of skin cover them, they are the beautiful part of a woman!

And no, I don’t want to know your sex. It doesn’t really matter to me! What matters is, your brain and the way you think!

Japan haven’t any kind of culture. Everything they have are copy of Chine civilization. The write, the religion etc…. In the past their economy was to steal the coast of Chine to get some silk and food. Nowadays they make small all kind of eletronic invention that european or american invent.

I wouldn’t like to be between man in Japan as western world women. Nobody can believe how they speak worse things about us when they smile…
The japonese are fake people! Not all people but the most part of them!

S’ you sound like bitter misantrop……
Is there anything that you like it……..

Hi Solaris, i am sooo glad, that you are still here…

That’s because people like you do not want to study their culture and already talk bad about them. You can not speak the language and already know what they talk about.

You call them copying the Chinese, that’s very interesting, because we are writing with Latin alphabet now, does it mean we have no culture at all? And we, western, copy from each other. The Roman from The Greek, and the Greek from who knows where!

Are we not also fake?

And a little advice, if you want to insult somebody, at least do it right. Write the words correctly so it will not be misinterpreted!

Hi, Iv!

I read many times. Some interesting views, but many are as usual.
I kind of miss you, though. It’s like saying “Hello!” That’s why I decided to write my comment. Breast Cancer is a very important subject for me, and I appreciate that Reese does something in this matter! It is a relief to know that “my girl” and I have the same concern!

Hi Solaris’
I am glad that you as man, better understand this problem, than most…
Reese seems like person, who really wants to help…
So, if she wants and if she can, why stop her in doing something useful.

I used to think she was cute. Now she actually looks unattractive. I think she’s still pining over Ryan and it shows.

She’s a class act!!! I love her as an actress and she seems like an amazing person and mother. I love her new haircut, too!!

We copy the greek , roman, the catholic church in midle age , the Arab , the french, the Englander and the chinese too. But use all these culture and develop them create another one.
The japonese not!
AVON haven’t to go to Africa or South America. AVON can go in Camboja. Nowadays after this country received only one year more bomb then all Europe in all 2° World war of americans and after and would be vitim of a paranoid ditactor is in total misery.
This country is a paradize of pedophiles. The woman and children haven’t any chance in their lifes and perhaps they haven’t idea what is a medical equipment of any kind.

The japanese must move their butt and do something for themselves. There are money enogh in Japan to make something.
It is better Reese Witherspoon go home and occupaid her monotonous days take care about her children.

She isn’t competent for this kind of ativities!

There is a big list of things that I like.
Last weed I saw at television a project that Holland are realising. Holand like to reserve 10% of their country only for nature. They put wild aminals in these reserves and in sommer looks like Serengueti because lot of animals are imigrating to there at this season.

I don’t like football but some players I like the personality. For instance Berty Vogts, old trainer of Germany futebol time has a beautiful orfanage in Mexico.
Or another brazilian football player whose open a small hospital in Rio de janeiro…or a german aristograt called vor der Borge whose has helded the children in Sovietic Union . The dogs in earthquake in Chine whose had their paws with blood because they can hear the people under them.
etc…

I don’t like mediocre people and the liar things the Mass Media tell to us!

English teacher @ 06/13/2008 at 1:24 am

For S:

Last weed = Last week (or do you mean the last weed that you smoked? Because that explains everything). That Holland (Holland what? Flowers? Cheese? Government? People?) are realising = realizing, Holand = Holland.
Put animals in these reserves (???) and in sommer = summer
Serengueti (Can anybody tell me what that means?),
…some players I like the personality (hello???) futebol = football (or do you mean a new kind of game?) orfanage = orphanage
…another brazilian football player whose open = …Brazilian…..who opens/opened . A german aristograt = A German aristocrat
whose…= who…The dogs in earthquake = since when earthquake has dogs? Whose = which (or dogs are human, and human is dog?)

May be I miss something. You are free to correct me.

English teacher

Thank you I will try to write again!

The “government of Holland” decided that 10% of their territory would be reserved for the nature and animals.
This project is so successful that these places “in summer” looks like National Park of Serengeti in Africa ( Serengeti is the nature reserved whose have more visit in the world. This park has more quantity of big salvage animals worldwide too ) because several animals emigrate at this time.
I don’t like the sport “football” but I like some players because they practice charity private. The ex trainer of german team, Berti Vogts has a beautiful orpanage in Mexico. A brazilian footbaal player buided a small hospital etc…
I like a german aristocrat von der Borge whose helped children in Soviet Union…
I saw the rescue dogs with blood in paws during rescue after the eathquake in Chine. The man must take them and put the collars because they wouldn’t stop to look for people…

English teacher! It is better?
