where style comes alive...

Breast cancer awareness month.

The breast cancer research stamp is a postage
stamp that raises money. "The first-class
stamp sells for 40 cents, but is only worth 34
cents. The overcharge or differential six cents
goes to breast cancer research," notes Gina
Petrak, a breast cancer advocate of Bloomfield
Hills.
