Time Magazine’s cover “Are you Mom enough?” has caused so much debate abroad that it even caught the attention of comedy blogger Marcelle Fabie aka mistervader. He said yesterday during his talk at the iBlog8 summit in U.P.  “65% of women were offended by the cover and 90% of men wished they were the kid.”

In an AP report, Time’s managing editor Rick Stengel said “… he acknowledged that the image is “provocative. We’re posing an interesting question about a subject that couldn’t be more important — how we raise our children. People have all kinds of mixed feelings about that.”

All-Time 100 Fashion Icons: Tiffany & Co

Long before Marilyn Monroe sang “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” or Audrey Hepburn stared longingly into the window from a deserted Fifth Avenue, Tiffany & Co. was influencing American culture. In September 1837, Charles Lewis Tiffany borrowed $1,000 from his father, and with his school friend John B. Young, opened a stationary and fancy goods store in New York City. Its first day’s sales were $4.98. In the 1840s, Tiffany & Co. began buying diamonds and a decade later the company became one of the word’s leading silversmiths. It supplied the Union Army in the Civil War and in the late 19th century decorated a series of Colt, Winchester and Smith & Wesson handguns. Tiffany & Co. was already a famous institution when Tiffany began selling items in the “Tiffany blue” box. “Tiffany has one thing in stock that you cannot buy of him for as much money as you may offer,” the New York Sun wrote in 1906. “He will only give it to you. And that is one of his boxes.” A visit to the flagship store on Fifth Avenue, established in 1940, has become a rite of passage for young women visiting New York City and grooms-to-be of all ages delivering their proposal and a ring via one of those famous blue boxes. It’s no guarantee of a yes, but it’s not a bad way to start.
