Belt Auction

Do celebrities ever auction off clothing they've worn online for money or for a good cause? Chace Crawford had a Myspace video about donating your old, unused jeans to homeless kids. But why don't actors and other famous people sell their clothing to fans in order to raise money for good causes like this? Does this happen anywhere? On any websites? You can't really trust ebay...

When celebrities die (actors, actresses, athletes, news reporters, etc). Where do their personal items...? Where do their personal items i.e. clothing, etc. go to? Does the family donate it to charity, auctions, etc.?

I have a girlfriend but have found another girl that seems more compatible? I have a girlfriend that i have been with since july. I really care about her and I know she feels the same way about me. Recently i have found another girl that seems to be much more similar to me than my current girl does. This new girl shares a common interest in my line of work/ lifestyle. I am a farmer/ rancher and my current girlfriend has no interest whatsoever in working with cattle and I cannot really talk to her about ranching. This girl I have recently met has lived on a farm all her life and loves cattle, so much so that she is going into pre vet studies for large animals. I feel I can talk to her about anything and we have common ground on so many levels. I have had feelings for her since the moment I met her. My current is a very caring girl and she means well. Our interest are completely different. She loves shoes, shopping and celebrities. She wears designer clothing and will not settle for anything less. She hates to work and wants to be married in 3 years so she can have kids and not work anymore. The girl I met loves to have a good time, work hard, go far in life, and most important to me loves life on a farm. The takes an interest in what I do when I'm ranching and even works at an auction market. I feel we click on so many levels and always wants to see me. I've hung out with her a few times and my feelings grow stronger every time. I really don't know what to do and I need help. This is a very tough spot to be in.

...I've Fallen in Love With...? This handbag!: It's just calling my name, I lvoe it & not because it's claimed to be worn by celebrities, it's a fake but it's gorgeous! Opinions please! http://www.trademe.co.nz/Clothing/Womenswear/Bags-handbags/Handbag/auction-199926507.htm If you think you can suggest a better alternative online then please do so.

What do you wear to an auction? Is it alright to go to one without bidding? One of my favorite celebrity's personal belongings are going to be auctioned off in NYC in the near future and my best friend and I thought it would be fun to go check it out. We've never been to an auction before, so we're not quite sure what to wear to one. I was thinking about wearing a black skirt (that falls mid-calf) and a nice top with some black flats. (I'd probably have a pair of jeans and/or at least some sneakers to change into afterwards since I'm planning on doing a LOT of walking. ) What about clothes for a guy to wear? We're both 20 and we don't want to look too dressed up all day. Also, can you go to an auction and not bid. We already know that we're not likely to be able to afford anything, but we still want to go- just for fun and to get as close to these items as we possibly can. Thank you very much!

Worst baby naming trends of the decade? I found this article called Worst Baby Name Trends of the Decade. I read it and then questioned, what are some of the worst names you have ever heard. Here is the article, read through it then let me know what are some of the strangest names you have heard and if you know someone with a strange name, let us know the story behind it! Worst Baby Name Trends of the Decade by The Name Lady (Subscribe to The Name Lady's posts) Dec 25th 2009 11:00AM Categories: Weird But True, Baby Names, Opinions Print Email More Here at Name Lady Central we see names of all stripes, from the common and conservative to the wild and woolly. Most of them, even the woolliest, are chosen with love by well-meaning moms and dads. But a few name trends from the past decade have crossed the line. Here are the Name Lady's picks for the worst name trends of the decade: Selling Your Baby's Name To The Highest Bidder Did you hear about the expectant parents who put naming rights to their new baby up for auction on eBay? In fact, you've had plenty of chances to hear that since the year 2000. In the sell-from-home decade, several families have seen baby naming as an opportunity to pick up some quick cash. This year, one determined Arkansas mom re-listed her unborn son's name auction five times. Her goal (unmet) was $20,000 to help pay the household bills. Some of the eBay parents have seemed genuinely desperate, while others may have just been out for attention. Before you write them all off, consider one thing they had in common: They were trying to sell a name that belonged to somebody else, not their own. That makes them fitting emblems for a decade when more and more parents started treating baby names as creative fashion accessories. Giving Your Baby A Corporate Trademark Name There's a natural overlap between product names and baby names. Parents may be attracted to a name like Sienna for a girl for the same reasons that Toyota was attracted to it for a minivan. But since the '90s, the brand naming of babies has reached new heights. Labels like Nautica, Lexus and Armani have joined the ranks of America's top 1,000 names, and almost no popular brand seems off limits. At last count, four American boys sported the name ESPN. The U.S. doesn't regulate baby names, but the more we bestow corporate trademarks on children, the closer we come to a brave new world of naming law. What does it mean when a corporation owns the rights to your name? What will happen to little ESPN if he wants to be a sportswriter, or to Nautica if she tries to design clothes? Using Names As An Excuse To Make Fun Of People Name insults are as old as schoolyard taunts. In this decade, though, adults have elevated baby name bashing to the level of blood sport. Whenever a new celebrity baby is born, the world waits with bated breath to tear the name to shreds. (In reality, most celebrity babies have perfectly normal names -- Henry and Ava are favorites -- but what fun is that?) The most toxic name bashing uses names, real or invented, as a sly way to make fun of whole segments of our society. For example, one of the hottest Internet stories of recent years is the dubious tale of the girl named Le-a, pronounced Ledasha because "the dash don't be silent." The most common version of that story concludes with the commentary, "And we let these people vote." Making Your Baby's Name A Tool To Advance Your Agenda In December 2008, the Campbell family of New Jersey made international headlines when a supermarket bakery refused to write their young son's name in icing on a birthday cake. The rejected name: Adolf Hitler. The parents expressed shock and dismay at the store's decision, but it soon became clear that they knew the score. The supermarket had rejected the Campbells' requests before, and they had pointedly insisted on both first and middle names on the cake, not just Adolf. In short, the parents had set up a media event, using their child's name as bait. Their whole Nazi-named brood and swastika-filled living room were soon being beamed to news outlets across the globe. How long before more zealots of every stripe follow suit, naming their children as living billboards? Here's wishing us all a new decade of loving, well-chosen names.

Black British-I was born here. Go why don't you drink some tea and kiss the queens butt? LOS-I never said that. Post some links up before you make some false accusations. LOS-No I didn't I remember the question too and I never said that. I commented on it but I never said that, that was another user. LOS-No I didn't I remember the question too and I never said that. I commented on it but I never said that, that was another user. LOS-Um, no it wasn't me. If I would have said something I would have a good memory of it. How can you accuse me of something and don't have any proof or links to back it up with? Point taken. I know what I said. The questions was "Why are filipina women better than American women?" I said, " Um, not all filpinas are cute. They're are alot of ugly ones out there" I said something to that extent. You can't accuse me of something and have no proof to it. Simple as that. Innocent till proven guilty. Sorry you can't win this arguement, you have to show some proof. Besides, I would never say anything like that. Lest your forget that there are many clones and trolls in this section? Anyways, you have me confused for someone else and I think you're being a little too sensitive for my taste. Goodnight and good luck.
