Holler at a dope honor! Perhaps it seems an odd pairing, Lady Lovin’ Cool James and the hot dorks here at GGA Headquarters, but that’s exactly the twosome you should expect to see at the Pay It Fashion Forward Event on June 18th in NYC where GirlieGirl Army will be honored for our “positive influence” on our “community and the environment.” So nice to hear about people in the shmata biz who give a crap about the world beyond hemlines and getting front row tix to Stella McCartney’s show, right? Not that there is anything wrong with that, but if you are reading this blog and heart our site, you know we aim to be first and foremost compassionate and philanthropic, and secondly Glamazons! ‘Cuz a starlet can’t look hot with a rotten heart!
How’d this crew even come into being? On September 15, 2005, with only a three day notice, thirty fashion industry leaders came together to figure out how the industry could provide relief to the victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. While larger national relief organizations existed, there was no structure in place to organize the immediate collection and distribution of excess product to those so desperately in need. The response was overwhelming. Over $4.5 million dollars worth of product was collected and channeled directly to victims suffering from the devastation. What began as a vision has turned into an incredible charitable endeavor to provide hope to those in need. For 2008 alone, Fashion Delivers projected to distribute over $15 million dollars in product donations to those in need, both in the United States and across the globe.
These are charitable Brothers and Sisters we can get with, ‘cuz giving is always in fashion. Grab your tix to this event here asap. What better way to pass an evening than at a chic event, shmoozing n’ boozin’ and knowing you are doing something to save the world (beyond trying to outlaw harem pants) simultaneously. Plus, have you seen (invite above) the esteemed posse we are being honored with? We’re not worthy!!
So to re-iterate: Puhlease get your tuchus off the couch and cheer us on at this fabulous event. Promise you will have more fun than you know what to do with.
