The June 2006 issue of Southern Living magazine is set to feature an exclusive interview with the South Florida artist/fashion designer, along with a photo spread of her signature classic wood-box purses. My purses are for those individuals who dare to be different and who dont mind attention because they will get it, said Atkins, who founded the company De-Zines by Dede in 2002. Whatever purse you wear or carry, people stop to look and comment even men. Last winter, Southern Living discovered www.dedepurses.com and sent both a photographer and a journalist to Atkinss studio in Boynton Beach, Florida, to profile the artist, whose purses have evolved to mixed-media designs, including sophisticated and sexy combinations of fur, feathers, ribbons, silk flowers, beads, and mirrors. Each purses elaborately hand-crafted interior is a also completely original design, Atkins said. Youre walking around with a piece of art, yet the unique interior creates a quality of intimacy with yourself like wearing lingerie under your everyday clothing, you know you have it on and so you just feel beautiful. Atkins recently was featured on the trendy Miami-based T.V.
show Deco Drive, one of
top entertainment shows in Florida. Atkinss purses, known as dedepurses, are currently carried in specialty stores throughout the United States including: Boca Raton, Coral Springs, Hollywood, Ft. Lauderdale, Marco Island, and Naples, Fla.; Kittery, Maine; Boston, Mass.; Nashville, Tenn.; Chagrin Falls, Ohio, with boutiques pending in New York and Chicago. Atkins's purses have cultivated their growing popularity by word-of-mouth from passionate customers who met the artist herself at an art show or people who, like the editors at Southern Living, serendipitously came across her Web site www.dedepurses.com. With design names like Tiramisu, Pocahontas, Feather Goddess, and Bronze Beauty, dedepurses have found their way over the shoulders and into the hands of thousands of women and counting.To arrange an interview with Atkins, find out more information and/or request fit-to-print photos, contact Penelope Love at (561) 543-1500..
Purses
Women around the world consider a purse as a necessity. A purse has a lot more significance and importance than its function, which is carrying money and other items around in it. It is used as a fashion accessory and speaks volumes about the personality of the person carrying it.
In simple terms, a purse is a small and fashionably designed bag, used to hold money, keys, makeup and other items of daily use. Purses are also popularly known as handbags, although some argue that a handbag is larger in size. Purses evolved several centuries ago, and ever since, have been an essential fashion accessory.
The first purses can be traced back to the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians, who used small pouches during religious ceremonies. Later, in the 14th century, purses were fastened to the waist with the help of girdles. During those days, purses were used as status symbols and were adorned with jewels and elaborate embroidery.
Through the 16th and 17th century,...

Women's Liberation
(ContentDesk) July 20, 2004 -- Women continue to make steady progress towards equality in the workplace. Now women are making progress towards equality on the home front. How? By tapping into their resources, including their husbands. Increasingly, men and women are both juggling the demands of a career and a family. The demands are not equal, however.
Traditionally, women have been the primary caregivers. Still so today. Relinquish that role? Never. We have the natural instincts. But share that role? Now, that makes some sense.The challenge? Let's face it: Most men are not very domestic.
Organize the power tools? Mow the lawn? Great. But change the baby, that's a different story altogether. Not that men don't want to be helpful. They do (really). They just don't always know (or understand) what to do, especially concerning babies, particularly infants.Here's my secret: Help him liberate you.
Impossible? Absolutely not. Give him the tools to be helpful, starting...

Confessions of a Designer Handbag Junkie
As you are likely aware, I am a designer handbag fanatic.
I have been advised by family and friends that this could be developing into a problem, but I am confident that I have it under control.
Sure, I have bounced my rent check to purchase a new purse.
Who hasn't?
There have been times when I have skipped out on my utility bills, so I would have enough cash to buy a new handbag.
Who wouldn't?
I have spent countless nights dreaming about shopping for the latest fashionable designs.
So what if I want to have Kenneth Cole's babies.
I really don't see the problem here.
To make my mother happy, I have made the following pledge (ever-so-loosely based on the "twelve step" program):
My name is Cathy, and I am addicted to designer handbags and high fashion.
I admit that I am powerless over Prada, and that my life has become unmanageable in certain respects.
I have faith that...

In Ways You Never Dreamed
When we're not right with ourselves, we're not right with the world, and we're not right with our God. It happens to the best of us, brings out the worst in us, and affects the rest of us. No one can help us until we're ready to help ourselves. Often, the least thing has become insurmountable. If we knew how to make it right, surely, most would.
Since the beginning of time, people have prayed prayers (for help and guidance) that appear to go unheard. God has a better plan than taking us...
