While our country is still recovering from the damages caused by back to back typhoons Ondoy (Ketsana) and Pepeng (Parma), celebrities have innovated a way to generate more funds by donating their goods. Actress Angel Locsin lives up to her name and spearheads this noble project.
Don't be jealous of the beneficiaries, though. Authentic Louis Vuitton, Hermes and Burberry items will not be directly given to the victims, as fashion is not among the priorities of Mang Juan and Aling Nena for now. Instead, the expensive and fashionable bags and shoes will be auctioned online through the Shop & Share websitewhich opened yesterday. The revenues will go straight into the Philippine National Red Cross' Disaster Relief Efforts.
Joining forces with Angel Locsin are Anne Curtis, Kris Aquino, Dimples Romana, Jake Cuenca, Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, Luis Manzano, Marian Rivera and couple more. Yes Papa P (Piolo Pascual) is showing his support as well. But sorry girls, a date with him isn't up for auction.
If you want to walk in the shoes of Pokwang (LV size 6) or fill the bigger shoes of Ruffa Gutierrez ( Tory Burch Heels size 10) and you have the money for it, go and start bidding now at http://shopandshare.ph! The LV monogram tote of Kris Aquino is waiting for its new owner and Heart Evangelista's pretty face might just rub off on you when you wear her Fendi shades (but don't blame me if it doesn't).

As of writing, the $399 starting bid of Anne Curtis' LV backpack has escalated to $900, with 23 rabid bidders. International buyers are more than welcome to join because the auction process is made possible through ebay.com.
This early, I'm congratulating the organizers of this project! We're starting to see the other side of these celebrities beyond the superficial facets of their showbiz lives. May God bless their beautiful souls.
