Lancôme is very lucky to have amazing spokesmodels. Kate Winslet just launched her own charity to help those with autism. Arlenis Sosa started a charity in her native Domincan Republic to help those with diabetes and breast cancer. Julia Roberts was honored last night by Glamour Magazine for her work on behalf of children and the environment.
And then there's Elettra Wiedemann, who you've seen in all the ads for our new fragrance, Trésor in Love. Elettra's been quite busy the past several months with her charity, One Frickin Day. (The idea being that anyone can make a difference, not just the Bill Gates of the world. You can donate one day's salary, or one day's worth of time, hence One Frickin Day.)
Currently, OFD is collaborating with Partners In Health (PIH) and Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF) to buy solar panels for clinics in Haiti and Rwanda that have extremely limited or zero access to electricity or electric grids. Imagine getting emergency surgery or giving birth at a hospital with no electricity? Sadly, it's a reality for many people around the globe.
How can you help? Elettra, OFD co-founder James Marshall (her charming fiancé) and their friend, stylist Nick Steele, have organized an amazing fundraiser called Model Behavior. They enlisted all their fashionable friends to donate dresses, fashion show tickets and more. You can win a poem handwritten by Bono; dresses worn on various red carpets by Elettra, Christy Turlington, Shalom Harlow, Cindy Crawford, Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum, Karlie Kloss and Chanel Iman (see a few of the dresses above); tickets to Prabal Gurung's next fashion show, and a shopping party at Cynthia Rowley's store.
Our favorite? A makeover at the Lancôme boutique on New York's Upper West Side, with makeup by our fave mua Andrew Sotomayor and supervised by Elettra!
The auction is open now through Dec. 7th at charitybuzz.com. If the prices are too steep for your budget, you can make a donation on the OFD website for as much or as little as you can afford. Check out the auction regardless. Daydreaming is always free!
