Charities

Now I love animals just as much as the next person but PETA is just too much for me. But tonight Pacha is hosting P.A.C.H.A. (People Against Cruelty and Harm to Animals).

I rarely (as in almost never) venture up to Pacha, but 50 DJs is something I can’t pass up.

VH1 Save The Music is a charity I support because I believe in the importance of music in the classroom. I was introduced to the piano in 5th grade and have learned to play over one dozen instruments since. It’s very sad that funding is causing music to be taken out of the classroom, but we can help change that.

Join us for this most memorable one-night only performance, Tuesday, March 2, 2010, Union Square Ballroom, 9pm – 12am. as we raise funds and awareness for VH1 Save the Music.

Performances by Diego Paulo and DJ Claudius Raphael

We interrupt our regularly scheduled fashion week coverage to bring you an important event happening tonight. I am on the host committee for the Girl Soldier event happening tonight in Tribeca and I would love for you all to come out and learn about this great charity.

Charity: water is a great organization. It is a non-profit bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations.

From the charity: water website:

Most of us have never really been thirsty. We’ve never had to leave our houses and walk 5 miles to fetch water. We simply turn on the tap, and water comes out. Clean. Yet there are a billion people on the planet who don’t have clean water.

It’s hard to imagine what a billion people looks like really, but one in eight might be easier. One in eight people in our world don’t have access to the most basic of human needs. Something we can’t imagine going 12 hours without.

This is the ultimate “cocktail for a cause” event. The event is known for being star-studded and tons of fun. And you will help bring clean water to people who desperately need it.

There is no better way to kick off the holidays.

Lust worthy shoe brand Jimmy Choo and  Elton John’s AIDS foundation are launching a photo competition to raise awareness for the treatment and prevention of AIDS in South Africa and around the world.  The money will go to the HIV-preventative treatment PEP which can be given to patients within 72 hours of HIV infection, and counselling for rape victims in South Africa (who has the highest count of rape in the world).

You may love Shane & Shawn because the twins are sexy.  I personally love them because their shoes are amazing.  I first learned about them on the Wendy Williams Show and the twins have gotten so big, they’ve outgrown their boutique on Mulberry street, with a new concept that is hot, hot, hot!

Do you love to shop? Do you ever wish you could give back to the community? Well, now you can shop and give back at the same time! On November 10th from 9:00am to 11:00pm, visit Lord & Taylor’s NYC Benefit Bash at their flagship store at 424 Fifth Avenue.
