Avon Brings 125th Anniversary Celebration to Madison Square Garden
** Disclosure: Sasha Muradali works for Proof Integrated Communications, a division of Burson-Marsteller, the public relations agency representing Avon for the 125th anniversary celebration. She was not personally compensated by Avon for attendance or for this post.**

The tour labeled as the “Avon BELIEVE World Tour,” is schedule to hit 16-major cities including New York City, London, Los Angeles, Chicago, Johannesburg, Moscow, Mexico City, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Shanghai, New Delhi, Dallas, Atlanta and Istanbul.

MAD MEN: 7 Reasons To VOTE Me One of the MAD WOMEN
Don Draper
I love Don Draper.
No, not John Hamm (though he’s quite the looker), I love Don Draper.
He is this complex entity that has a handsome exterior laced with a lethal temper, dry wit, savvy wisdom and this keen ability to make the world work for him.
