		<description><![CDATA[There was no mention of Farrah Fawcett last night at the Oscars. But the &#8220;In Memoriam&#8221; tribute did include Michael Jackson. I don&#8217;t know about you, but I&#8217;m thinking that&#8217;s just wrong.
Now, I know Fawcett was mostly a &#8220;Charlie&#8217;s Angel&#8221; TV sensation, but she did star on the big screen, too. Just ask my husband, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Soy doesn&#8217;t concern me much. It&#8217;s just not something I&#8217;ve ever really wanted to consume. So when docs and nutritionists advised me against it due to my breast cancer status, it never took much effort to steer clear of the stuff. For those who have been holding back, however, research is starting to say it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s because I spent far to many hours seeking sun in my younger years, and I am painfully aware of the side effects of such behavior. I&#8217;ve had several pre-cancerous lesions cut and frozen off my fair skin, I have [...]]]></description>

I was confused all morning, figured I&#8217;d sort it out sooner or later, and then I broke down and did some Google work. Found out the hues represent bra colors.
