Oprah to Fight Genocide, AIDS, Poverty with Bracelets

We can’t think of anybody more media-savvy than Oprah. At this point in time, it’s only Oprah that could revive the idea behind the Lance Armstrong wristband. Except her version is dotted with rocks from Rwanda and guaranteed to help a woman in need.

Snatch a limited edition (of course) O Bracelet at Macy’s. And check out this email campaign they’re sending out. It’s practically a work of art — from the genocide survivor quote at top (you know, near Oprah’s head) to the woven “path to peace” baskets that modestly ornament the bottom.

We can really only shake our heads in quiet wonder.
