Rave: Clothes Off Our Back
Clothes Off Our Back is a charity I've know about for awhile. Its a celeb couple (I'll misspell their names so go look them up yourselves) who talk other celebs into donating their gowns and tuxes that they wore for big events (Emmys, Oscars, etc...). Celebs can't really wear them again anyways so they auction them off and donate the proceeds to different charities. I've always dug that but since most of the gowns are a wee bit too small (and expensive) for me, I've only just kept an eye on this charity.
Well, now they've opened it up to the masses. Yeehaw!
We all know I love to shop. But, I have a new way to justify my shopping habit: charity. See, the only thing that beats a sample sale, is a sample sale that benefits charity. I'm not SPENDING money, I'm DONATING money. Big difference. Love that.
Technically this wasn't a sample sale. It was a bunch of stuff donated from vendors, boutiques, tv stations, etc... It billed itself as a "yard sale" but we were at a yard in Brentwood sponsored by W Magazine and Guess so you knew this was going to be good.
While there I had my makeup done ($5), had my tarot cards read ($2), bought a very cool little polo-style shirt ($20), and bought a sportsac purse & wallet (1/2 price). The vendors were everyone from Ugg to Diane Von Fursenburg to C&C California and everyone in between. Oh, and the food! That looked yummy ($5 all you can eat) but I had just made myself lunch. Did I mention Baskin Robbins was there selling ice-cream in waffle cups for a $1? I don't think I've seen so many skinny people eating ice cream before. I guess if you're eating ice cream for charity the calories don't count.
If all the neighborhoods in L.A. were wondering where their C list celebraties went to, they were ALL here. It was a feast of C list celebrities.
So yeah, I'll be looking out for this event next year. And anyone who's interested, let me know. I'll be happy to drag you along.
