Florida Woman's PUP Invention is "Top Dog" on National Talk Show

When the Montel Williams Show hits the airwaves on Monday, June 16, he will introduce a product called the "PUP" to his studio audience and the rest of America. Williams show can be seen on Orlando's FOX35 network, WOFL at 10:00 am.

The PUP, which stands for Personal Utility Pouch, is the brainchild of 61 year old former real estate agent, Jean Newell from Melbourne, Fl. The multi-purpose, unisex bag was developed to help keep her from misplacing things. "I was tired of calling my own misplaced cell phone to find its whereabouts! So instead of trying to improve my memory," confessed Newell, "I designed a wearable organizer for my personal and professional items." Newell added with recent news of airport security theft at TSA check points and airlines limiting baggage, ironically it's become a big hit with travelers too.

Williams, who will be giving the bags away to his audience, called them "a really great thing." The PUPs were also included in 300 celebrity gift bags during the talk show host's recent MS Foundation Fundraiser/Poker Event in New York. Newell says she had the opportunity to offer the bags to the Show's Producer while attending one of his tapings.

Another opportunity for the newest Boomerpreneur came when she was invited by QVC, to pitch her product there. As a result of booming sales, she made more than 35 appearances on the nation's leading shopping network.

This active senior credits her success to hard work and years of experience. "It's a blessing to have lived long enough, to go through trial and error and to still have the desire and drive to start a new venture. I've gone from being considered an "ol' bag" to a bag lady---and a successful one at that!"
