Custom Corsets For a Cause

Filed under: Apparel, Auctions, Charity


Give a celebrity a corset and a cause and you get a wide variety of results. Some go basic but some go really crazy. Of the all auctions where celebs get to decorate something, the Frederick's of Hollywood Custom Corset auction for Clothes Off Our Backs seems to bring out creative side of the most celebs. This is the fourth year of the auction and the charities benefitted are the America's Second Harvest (the nation's largest charitable hunger-relief organization), The Art of Elysium (which enriches the lives of artist and critically ill children) and World Education (focusing on girls' scholarship programs in Africa). The six shown above are Kim Kardashian, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Virginia Madsen on the top row and Andy Garcia, Debra Messing and Gabrielle Union on the bottom row. So far Gabrielle Union's Fire and Ice bustier has garnered the most bids. The auction ends November 12.

Own Your Own Celebrity Seat

Filed under: Decor, Auctions, Celebrity Shopping

Clothes Off Our Backs often auctions off the clothing, shoes and accessories that celebrities wear to special events like the Emmy Awards and the Oscars. This year, they've taken the own-what-a-celeb-has-touched auction one step further. Instead of owning something just one celebrity touched, you can sit on the very velvety tuffet where many celeb hindquarters have rested. They are auctioning off the pouf that was the centerpiece in the 2006 Architectural Digest Greenroom at the Emmy Awards. The pouf is covered in coral velvet with silver-leafed moldings and a silver-gilt wood finial and proceeds benefit the emergency relief efforts in Darfur, Children's Defense Fund and Cure Autism Now. No bids last time I checked...
