She said: 'I guess I just have just a sudden urge to say something that I've never really been able to air in public.
'[It's] a declaration that I'm a little nervous about – but maybe not quite as nervous as my publicist right now. I'm just going to put it out there – loud and proud. I'm single.'
She continued: 'This is not going to be a big coming out speech tonight because I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago back in the stone age – in those very quaint days when a fragile girl would open up to trusted friends and family and coworkers and then gradually proudly to everyone who knew her.

Family pride: Jodie spoke openly about co-parenting the boys with her ex-partner Cydney Bernard last month

'But now apparently I'm told that every celebrity is expected to honour the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance and a primetime reality show.'
She then thanked her 'heroic co-parent, my ex partner in love, but righteous soul sister in life. My confessor... most beloved BFF of 20 years, Cydney Bernard.
'Thank you, Cyd. I am so proud of our modern family, our amazing sons, Charlie and Kit who are my reason to breathe and to evolve. ... Boys, in case you didn't know it, this song, like all of this, this song is for you.'

Youthful: Jodie looks amazing at 50 as she shows off her trim physique in a T-shirt and trousers

Her sons smiled proudly as they watched from the audience.
The former couple met on the set of the film Sommersby in 1993 and had two sons, but they split in May 2008 after 14 years together.
Jodie has never revealed the identity of the boys' biological father.

Good Style With Fashionable Tote Bags

The term tote means "to carry" which in a nutshell explains what a tote bag is. A bag used to carry things usually made from a sturdy material such as canvas with leather handles. The tote is traditionally used to carry more than your regular everyday handbag. However there is no specific use of tote bags but in today's modern world it is used to carry around all items needed when leaving home or travelling. Tote bags have been around for eons but were only popularized in the 50s when people started using them as handbags. More functional everyday bags have become the norm these days and are now also stylish and fashionable. This is thanks to a few designers who turned the basic tote bag into something you wanted to carry around. Coach certainly made the tote glamorous and more recently the Birkin bag is the must have for all the be's and wannabe's worldwide!

Forgetting glamour for a second however there has also been a dramatic worldwide phenomena (mainly in Australia and Eurpoe) of the reusable shopping tote bag. Originally brought into shops and supermarkets to curb the use of plastic bags, the eco bag has now become a household item. They are marketed for their environmentally friendliness because they are reusable. However they are actually made from Non Woven Polypropelyne. Propylene is a byproduct of oil refining. These bags take about a thousand years to biodegrade and as more and more retail chains sell them they are increasingly becoming landfill. Some studies have also revealed that the lions share of these bags are not even being reused, which throws out every aspect of their environmentalism. 

While the green tote bag is still widely used there is however already a trend towards other tote shopping bag materials such as organic canvas, cotton, jute, hemp and so forth. As consumers become more aware no doubt the larger retail chains will join in and start using more environmentally friendly fabrics for their reusable bags. Baby steps.
Some designers are now combining the two making fashion tote bags that are not only good for the environment and practical but also stylish and on trend. So it seems that Tote Bags For Women have come a long way and still have more to go. Who knows, soon we may see an environmentally friendly Birken bag that is affordable that you can take to the supermarket to do your shopping!
