<p>The <a href="http://www.rainebrooke.com/laptop-cases-pink-funchico.htm" target="_blank">Funchico&#8217;s</a> exterior is tan/cream tweed with shimmering pink metallic threads woven throughout, so the color of the bag shifts with the light. It has a removable, padded checkpoint-friendly laptop sleeve and plenty of pockets inside and out for all of your power cords, phone, PDA and other daily necessities. Remove the laptop sleeve and the Funchico can be used as an overnight bag.  This new laptop case is now available for only $99.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks to Jen at <a href="http://kidzborn2impress.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Born 2 Impress</a> for the great review our <a href="http://www.rainebrooke.com/collection-laptop-bags-allie-tote.htm" target="_blank">new Allie pink laptop tote</a>. Her review is below or you can read it on her <a href="http://kidzborn2impress.blogspot.com/2010/02/valentines-gift-guide-rainebrook.html" target="_blank">blog</a>. Jen is also hosting a giveaway of an Allie laptop tote… details can be found <a href="http://kidzborn2impress.blogspot.com/2010/02/valentines-gift-guide-rainebrook.html" target="_blank">here</a>. The giveaway ends on 2/11/10 so head over to her blog today to get in your entry.</p>
<blockquote><p><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.rainebrooke.com/images/products/allie/allie_pink_front_234x349.jpg" alt="Allie pink laptop tote by Rainebrooke" width="234" height="349" />Hello Pink! I have started to visit some boutiques to introduce my accessories there, and I need to bring my computer with me because with more than 500 different items in the store catalog, it is kind of hard to carry a sample for everything, but since I do have pictures of all the products, all I need is some samples and my computer.<br />
I needed something that would be practical, stylish….And cute ….Something that would go with my store theme. Finding a <a href="../../../../../../">computer bag</a> that is stylish is not that hard, but finding one that wouldn’t be too big and that would match my store was another story….Then I found this great <a href="../../../../../../">computer bags store</a> called <a href="../../../../../../">Rainebrooke</a> and I knew my problems were solved.<br />
Rainebrooke offers the cutest PINK, yes that is right <a href="../../../../../../">pink computer bags</a> I have been able to find so far. All of their bags have two things in common, they are all really cute and all of them are <a href="../../../../../../">pink</a>, so if you are looking for a pink and super cute <a href="../../../../../../">computer bag</a> you need to take a look at the Rainebrooke store.<br />
I received the <a href="../../../../../../collection-laptop-bags-allie-tote.htm">Allie Laptop Tote Bag</a> for this review which is a bubble gum pink color with black <a href="../../../../../../collection-laptop-bags-allie-tote.htm">faux leather</a> handles and trims, the bag is very comfortable and light weight, and the vertical design makes it easy to carry around as a handbag or used over the shoulders with the detachable shoulder strap.<br />
The Allie bag features a <a href="../../../../../../collection-laptop-bags-allie-tote.htm">padded laptop pocket</a> which gives you easy access to through the top zippered opening. The interior has plenty of room for all your power cords and other tech accessories. With several pockets on both the inside and outside of the bag you&#8217;ll have space to keep your cell phone, PDA, iPod, keys and makeup within easy reach. There&#8217;s even an organizer section for your business cards, credit cards and pens. This is not just a computer bag; it is a girl’s computer bag…..I wonder if the designer was a woman……My laptop is a 15.4 and fits perfectly in the bag.<br />
One more thing I really like about having a pink bag is that pink is the official <a href="../../../../../../collection-laptop-bags-allie-tote.htm">Breast Cancer Awareness color</a> and I am all about supporting the fight against cancer!</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here’s a sneak peek at <a href="http://www.rainebrooke.com/" target="_blank">Rainebrooke’s</a> newest laptop case, the Funchico.  The Funchico, short for “Funky, Chic and Cool” was designed by Kate <a href="http://twitter.com/funchico" target="_blank">@funchico</a>. It’s based on the shape and style of a vintage train case, but updated for the modern laptop-carrying woman. It has a removable checkpoint-friendly laptop sleeve and plenty of pockets inside and out. Remove the sleeve and it can be used as an overnight bag. And check out that material… its tan/beige tweed with fine threads of pink weaved in. Depending on how the light hits it you’ll see many different shades of color. More photos are coming soon and the bag will be on sale in a few weeks.</p>

Bedoor Al-Mutairi, a Kuwaiti entrepreneur launched the service, which is a project called Eve Taxi. The pink taxi’s will be driven by women and are for female customers only… no men allowed. Each taxi will be fitted with a GPS system along with accessories and magazines for women. The drivers will all have a good knowledge of the local areas.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left: 7px; margin-right: 7px;" src="http://www.rainebrooke.com/images/blog_pics/pinktaxithumb.jpg" alt="" width="259" height="264" />The pink taxi service was also recently started a few months back in <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33385984" target="_blank">Mexico’s colonial city of Puebla</a> with a new fleet of 35 pink cabs.  The idea is to offer women a comfortable, relaxed and safe environment to get around in. In the past women have complained saying male taxi drivers often cross the line and make inappropriate propositions, said Aida Santos, a driver of a pink taxi.  The taxi’s in Puebla will also be for women-only, driven by women-only, with each taxi having a tracking device and an alarm button to notify emergency services.</p>
<p>Some women’s rights activist say the pink taxi’s are just giving a sugary presentation and are not really addressing the harassment problem.  In a small way I agree with this, but in my view the pink taxi service isn’t going to hurt anyone either.  If the taxi service provides a relaxing atmosphere for women who may be in a strange, unknown city then what’s the harm. None in my opinion. It’s also providing jobs to women in a traditionally male dominated field.  Sure the overall problem of harassment needs to continually be addressed, but I see nothing wrong with taking this one step towards trying to resolve the problem.</p>
<p>With all these different countries joining in on the idea, I think they all agree with me… you can’t go wrong with the color pink <img src='http://www.rainebrooke.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My beautiful daughter Raine, who doesn’t miss a thing, had a really cool surprise for me the other day. <a href="http://www.icarly.com/" target="_blank">iCarly</a> is Raine’s favorite TV show… I think she’s seen every episode; and probably each episode two or three times. Yesterday when I walked in she was all excited to show me something that was recorded on the DVR. I sat down and she started playing the recent episode called “<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1335961/" target="_blank">iChristmas</a>”. As she started the DVR, she told me to watch and see if I notice anything. Sure enough, there was Rainebrooke’s first style of <a href="http://www.rainebrooke.com/collection-laptop-bags.htm" target="_blank">pink laptop bag</a> called the <a href="http://www.rainebrooke.com/laptop-bags-sl-light-pink.htm" target="_blank">Slim Line</a>. The bag is being carried by the character Rona Berger who is played by the actress <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3051876/" target="_blank">Tabitha Morella</a>.<br />
Really cool… and great catch by Raine.</p>
<p>The video can be seen <a href="http://www.nick.com/videos/clip/ichristmas-cart-a.html" target="_blank">here</a> with Rona carrying the bag in about 11:10 into the video.</p>
