According to May-Treanor, "When I first used Powder Pouch, I was amazed at how well it works to wipe off sand and loved the fact that it contains the powder so I can avoid the mess that usually comes with talc. I keep a Powder Pouch in my beach bag, one in my workout bag, and now keep one with my dancing shoes."

Hot on the heels of a second consecutive gold medal performance this summer inBeijing with beach volleyball partner Kerri Walsh, May-Treanor is set to expand her fan base. Following in the footsteps of fellow Olympians Apolo Anton Ohno and Kristi Yamaguchi, May-Treanor has traded the beach for the ballroom on the ABC network.

"After launching Powder Pouch earlier this year, we discovered that it is just as popular inland as it is on the shore," said Jeanine Sofield, Director, Powder Pouch, LLC. "The Misty Edition will help meet the needs of our off-shore consumers who are using Powder Pouch as a general-use powder applicator to take the mess out of powdering."

The new Misty Edition is 20 percent larger than the original Powder Pouch, holding more powder for those tough matches and extra-sandy days -- which also means less frequent refills. Like the original version of Powder Pouch, the Misty Edition is washable and reusable.

The Misty Edition also features a new heavier-weight custom fabric with her signature sea turtle design in chocolate brown on blue. May-Treanor tested the new Misty Edition this summer when she representedthe United States in Beijing. The original Powder Pouch and the Misty May-Treanor Signature Edition are available at www.PowderPouch.com.

About Powder Pouch:

Created by a fifth-generation beach family and surf lifeguards who learned their love of sand did not need to carry over into their homes, Powder Pouch minimizes the mess of powder and the discomfort of sandy skin. Stored in a convenient drawstring bag is a soft 100% cotton pouch that holds powder. When you gently wipe sandy skin with the powdery cotton pouch, sand easily falls away. The pouch is washable and reusable. The carrying case contains the powder when not in use.
