The Meghan effect! Demand for purple folder surges after Meghan Markle used it to hide her bump when she arrived in Australia

By -

Meghan Markle arrived Australia two days ago armed with two folders. At the time, it was considered unusual but after her pregnancy was announced, the reason for carrying the folder became clear.
The bright purple folder was a subtle trick the Duchess of Sussex used to hide her baby bump.
There has now been a sudden surge in the demand for the purple folder overnight. Office supplies store Officeworks has reported a 75 per cent increase in sales overnight and has sold out of the suddenly popular item.
A spokeswoman for Officeworks said:
Her unlikely accessory has sent stationery lovers into a frenzy, with the purple folder having almost sold out across Officeworks stores nationwide.
Data from Officeworks shows that as of yesterday, sales of the general folder category have increased by 32 per cent and sales of the infamous Aqua Drops range have increased by 75 per cent.
The folders were described as "the latest must-have accessory to conceal a baby (or food!) bump".

Zambian President Edgar Lungu wants the U.S. ambassador to leave the country after the diplomat criticized the African state for sentencing a gay couple to 15 years behind bars for having a consensual relationship. “We have complained officially to the American government, and we are waiting for their response because we don’t want such people in our midst,” Lungu said Sunday in comments broadcast on state-owned ZNBC TV. “We want him gone.” U.S. Ambassador Daniel Foote said last month that he was “personally horrified” after the high court sentenced the two men and called on the government to reconsider laws that punish minority groups. The move was particularly disturbing as “government officials can steal millions of public dollars without prosecution,” Foote said. The U.S. provides $500 million in aid to Zambia yearly, according to Foote. “We are saying no to homosexuality,” Lungu said in comments broadcast by Sky News earlier this month. “When you are tying it to aid, if that is h...

US Betrayed Me For Deporting My Mom, Says US Army Officer (CNN) A US Army officer got a call he was dreading on Thursday. His mom had been deported to Mexico. She called her family from the other side of the border to let them know. "I feel betrayed, to be honest," 2nd Lt. Gibram Cruz told CNN affiliate KSWB. "A country that I'm serving, which I've served proudly... These policies that are put in place to keep my family safe have let me severely down." Cruz and his family had been trying for months to convince officials to let his mother, Rocio Rebollar Gomez, remain in the United States. The case drew national attention last month when the US Army officer flew home for the holidays and told the San Diego Union-Tribune he feared it would be their last Christmas together. Traveling to see her in Mexico wouldn't be possible due to military restrictions, he told reporters Thursday. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Rebollar Gomez was deported Thursd...

A woman shared a photo of her bare breasts which were visible beneath her sheer top and this led to an argument on Twitter. Some who commented pointed out that by exposing her boobs on Twitter, the woman was exposing herself to being abused and sexualized by men. But others said boobs aren't meant to be sexualized because they are meant for feeding babies. Some also said it was all about self-control. They pointed out that women walk about in skimpy bikini abroad yet their men exercise self-control and do not go about abusing them. They added that our great grandmothers moved with their breasts out in their time and it was seen as normal. But others argued that if you put yourself in a position to be abused, then you deserve some blame. @Tar1807sha tweeted: "I will always say this: walk lackadaisically on the pedestrian crossing and you will get hit by a car. Yes the driver will be prosecuted, go to jail, serve his term and guess what? He will come back and d...
