INTRODUCING THE NEW 2010 VOLVO XC60 3.2 WITH CITY SAFETY.
L I V E F O R T O D AY I N T O M O R R O W ’ S S T Y L E S .
We’re raising the already high bar of Scandinavian design even higher. We’ve achieved best-in-class fuel
efficiency. We’ve included a laminated panoramic roof. And we’ve even fortified the new XC60 with our
latest safety innovation. City Safety comes standard, which means the XC60 will apply its own brakes to
help avoid a low-speed collision. Now that’s what we call functional design.
It’s the first Volvo to stop traffic. And itself. All for you, from Sweden with Löv.

IT’S THE STUFF THAT
DREAMS ARE MADE OF!
COVERGIRL,
Baltimore’s biggest
beauty company,
and the Make-A-Wish
Foundation teamed
up to grant four
young women their
ultimate wish: to be
a real COVERGIRL
for a day.
On August 28, 2009, Raven, Sarah,
Alena and Shaquasia spent the day
as cover girls at a photo shoot in
New York’s Milk Studio. Stylist Mary
Alice Stephenson, photographer
Don Flood and makeup artist Romy
Soleimani were on hand to make
the day exciting, glamour-filled and
unforgettable. With jewelry, shoes
and gowns galore donated by the
biggest names in fashion, each cover
girl stepped in front of the lens and
turned on her amazing inner and outer
beauty for the camera to capture.
Let’s meet these gorgeous and very
courageous cover girls.

others.
SHAQUASIA, 14, has sickle
cell anemia and has had to
work to overcome a stroke.
She feels especially empowered
by attending school and got
her own modeling lesson when
she spoke to J. Alexander from
America’s Next Top Model,
who gave her some tips about
posing. It was definitely the
most exciting part of the day
for her.

SARAH, 17, has acute
lymphatic leukemia and
loved everything about her
special day. She believes that
beauty on the inside means
feeling great about your own
accomplishments and never
reveling in the misfortunes
of others. Sarah feels most
empowered when she thinks
about the people in her life
who are there for her, no
matter what.
Sarah is wearing LashBlast

I am today.
ALENA, 16, has a brain
tumor and remembers the
obstacles she has overcome
when she’s challenged with
a difficult task. “I look back
and remember the pain and
struggle I went through and say
to myself, ‘If I can overcome
that, I can overcome anything.’”
Alena says that her wish day
was one of the best days of
her life and that she smiled so
much, her jaws hurt!
‘‘AWESOME.

America’s Next Top Model and
aspires to be a model someday,

of the camera.

And not only did each of
these remarkable young
women have her wish to
be a cover girl fulfilled,
they all left with armfuls of designer gifts
and bags overflowing with COVERGIRL
makeup. Make-A-Wish Foundation and
COVERGIRL were thrilled to help create
memories that will last forever. Because
every day we see what makeup does for
your outside, and on our best days, we
see what it does for your inside.
