Yes!!! A Real World F.G. cause about BOOTS!!!

Nine West is sponsoring an event during NYC Fall Fashion Week (which is September 8-15, 2011 for those of you who DON'T have it memorized) to raise money for Fashion Targets Breast Cancer.

It's sort of like one of those marathon fundraisers, except the "Runway Relief Models" aren't running, they're walking slooowly on the runway in Runway Relief boots. Nine West is donating $1 a mile, up to $75,000.

You can sponsor a model for however much you want.

You can also buy the boots, along with tote bags and tanks with the Runway Relief logo, and some of that money will be donated too, up to $115,000.

(<--I really like these boots, Dad. In case you're reading this.)

 
Yes! I knew it! Design and doing good CAN be combined and here's proof:

<-- This is Ella Marciano. You might already know who she is, because she's the daughter of GUESS CEO Paul Marciano, a model AND she designed this t-shirt for GUESS. The profits go to Sojourn Services for Battered Women and Their Children.

GUESS and Ella have teamed up with Teen Vogue for a t-shirt contest. No, not that kind of contest (which, of course and by the way, I would so not be promoting here as a Real World F. G. thing). This is a DESIGN contest and YOU can enter it. (You need to have some artistic talent though, but I leave that judgement up to you.)

Here's where the f.g. part comes in: the profits from this t-shirt will benefit the charity YOU choose.

So, if you're interested, sign up and enter here:

Next year, maybe they'll make it a BOOT design contest...
