Cameron Diaz... celebrity (who will happily advise us on how to live our lives), rich, glitzy - and admirer of commie chic...

While the bags are marketed as trendy fashion accessories in some world capitals, the phrase has particular resonance in Peru, where the Maoist Shining Path insurgency brought Peru to edge of chaos in the 1980s and early 1990s with a campaign of massacres, assassinations and bombings.

Elizabeth Cowie. Staff Sergeant, Indiana Army National Guard...

EDINBURGH, Ind. - Staff Sgt. Elizabeth Cowie's mission — and dream — of serving in Iraq almost ended before it began when tests on a tumor confirmed the worst: She had breast cancer.

Her Army National Guard unit was told earlier this year it would deploy to Iraq this summer. But an Army-mandated mammogram in April revealed a tumor in her right breast that was later found to be cancerous.

The 42-year-old mother of two from Los Angeles is again poised for duty after an aggressive treatment plan — including a May 22 lumpectomy, a second surgery a week later and a five-day targeted radiation treatment. Staying behind wasn't an option, she said.

Diaz:

"I've been driving a Prius since they came out," Diaz said. "I carbon neutralize when I travel...I recycle. If we can get people to change one aspect of their lives, even do one thing, that's a step closer."

And traveling coach when flying, no doubt. And living what you preach...

Cowie:

"The commander said, 'Are you sure? You have an opportunity to go home and be with your family and go through this.' And I said, 'No, I have a family here. I have my civilian family, but this is where I need to be and where I'm needed,'" Cowie said.

Draw your own conclusion. I know who I'd rather have dinner with.

And it ain't the skinny chick in designer clothes. Gimme the one who puts her life where her beliefs are.
