You've seen them, tongues drooping, heels torn and shorn, soles lost long ago. Well, momn, save those worn,tom dirty sneakers and enter them in the next Odor-Eater's Canadian National Rotten Sneaker contest. Robin Priestly, 12, of Aurora, On- tario was this year's title holder as she represented Canada recently in the Odor Eater's International Rottèn Sneaker Contest, a yearly event that takes place in Montpelier, Vermont, Rotten Sneaker capitol of the World. While Robin's sneakers were-less than spanking new, they still couldn't hold a candle to sneakers owned by Brian Paton, 6 of Barre, Vermont who was crowned Rotten Sneaker Cham- pion of the World. Robin represented To enhance a long, narrow face, choose large, circular jewelry such as these necklaces and earrings from Monet's Connections Collection. Create, a dazzling ·look this summer by selecting the right jewelry for your face shape. Highlighting and reproportion- ing facial features is easy to do with the right jewelry and a keen fashion sense. Wearing the proper accessories can enhance today's fashion choices and add a perfect touch to this season's looks, The four most common face shapes - round, square, long/narrow, and heart shaped - can all be enhanced by selectingjewelry opposite to the face shape. The rule that "op- posites attract" should be ad- hered to for the best results. "More and more women are concerned with the right type of accessories to enhance their look," says Natalie Sommer- ville, fashion consultant for Monet Jewelry of Canada who travels across the country hold- hercountry with pride and her-odorous sneaks are now enshrined in the Odor Eater's Hall of Fumes, a permanent testimonial to those faithful friends. If you don't want your children's sneakers to turn into rank competition for next year's title, here are some tips on keeping their sneakers free from Sneakeriîtis from the man who should know, head judge and chief Odorolo- gist, Dr. Herbert Lapidus. Dr. Lapidus ing fashion accessorizing semi- nars for women. "Since jewelry is becoming an increasingly popular co-ordinate, we believe that we are helping women make the right choices to max- imize their beauty potential." A woman with a round face should choose earrings that are longer than they are wide. Ear- rings that emphasize the vertical and give a lengthening effect to the face are best. Try using long hanging necklaces and V-neck collars to make the face and neck appear longer. The angles of a square face, on the other hand, should be softened to cre-, ate the illusion of a more rounded proportion. "To give the impression of a more circular face shape, rounded necklaces - like an elegant collar from Monet's Graphics Collection for spring - help soften the angles of a square face," says Sommer- ville. "Another trick is to wear softened scarves accented with a pin, and rourided or cowl necklines to help de-emphasize the square lines of the face." Creating the illusion of width is a concern for a woman with a long, narrow face. Large cir- cular or square-shaped earrings such as chunky buttons, geometric shapes, or fan-shaped earrings are good choices for this type of face shape. Avoid necklaces with sharp, V-neck patterns and instead, wear round collar necklaces. For a heart-shaped face, add width to the jawline. Earrings which work well are wider on the bottom and narrower on top such as triangles, teardrops and pear shapes. Opt. for round or square necklaces, and avoid sharp, pointed necklaces. has become a world class expert on keeping sneakers healthy and he just happens to be the inventor of Odor- Eaters. •SELECT A PAIR OF SNEAK- ERS THAT SUITS YOUR PUR- POSES. Anticipate your sneaker us- age patterns before selecting your sneakers. Do you enjoy shooting "hoops" at the local schoolyard? Be sure to select a pair of high tops with thick, contoured soles that provide greater traction and will hold up longer than thinner-soled shoes. r~ se-,,,, Odor-Chamber NC •PROPER FIT IS ALL-IMPOR- TANT. Don't assume that ill-fitting sneakers will be any more comfortable once thev are "bioken in". "If vour sneakersare toosmall, friction betw'een your foot and the inside of the sneaker will accelerate the wear and-fear that causes holes atthe toe and heel," said Dr. Lapidus. To ensure pr6per fit, buy your sneakers in the late afternoon, whenyourfeethavereached theirwidest spread. •PROTECT YOU SNEAKERS FROM FEROCIOUS ODORS. Sneaker odor can abruptly cut short the life of a pair of otherwise wearable sneakers, causing friends, relatives and even the farnily dog to recoil in horror. Having earned the title "Einstein of Odor" for his breakthrough use of acti- vated charcoal in the invention of Odor- Eaters, Dr. Lapidus recommends the use of activated charcoal insoles with bacterial agents. The activated char- coal actually traps odor so that it never reaches the nose while the bacterial agents prevent its return. However, for his stint as a judge at the Odor-Eaters International Rotten Sneaker Contest, Dr. Lapidus took no chances. "Expect- ing the worst, I brought along a gas mask," he said.
