Put your money where your mouth is (or isn’t, as the case may be)

I’ve been asked to pass this along. I read all the info over and it seems cool and legit. So, for all you worldwide readers of http://www.hungryforhunger.com/ you should follow the links below and buy/bid on some cool stuff*. The holidays are upon us soon.

Spread the word about the National Eating Disorders Association’s star-studded “Every BODY Is Beautiful” Online Fundraising Auction event, which is running from November 1st through December 2nd, 2007 – hosted by music star Sara Evans and featuring many other celebrity contributors!

Acclaimed Los Angeles-based wearable art designer Karin Collins (please see her inspiring health-related story below and at http://www.spoonfedart.com/) is once again promoting and participating in the annual National Eating Disorders Association “Every BODY Is Beautiful” Online Fundraising Auction, which is running from November 1st through December 2nd, 2007. There are a number of fantastic items up for sale, including jewelry, clothing, tote bags, spa packages, beauty products, celebrity-autographed collectibles, vacations, music, books, art – and many more great items will be added as the auction progresses! The event is being chaired by music superstar Sara Evans and features many other celebrity contributors!

Karin originally started making her SpoonFed Art pendants as a very personal art-oriented therapy to overcome a serious eating disorder she’d been battling for almost 20 years. Karin is entirely free of her eating disorder now, and she continues to contribute to and spread awareness of the National Eating Disorders Association to keep the focus of her SpoonFed Art business on the reason it was started – to help heal.

The delightfully diverse auction offerings include a trip to Tokyo, a backstage concert meet & greet with Sara Evans, a manicure in Beverly Hills, yoga classes in Seattle, an iPod Nano, an autograph/clothing package from American Idol singer Carrie Underwood, a one-of-a-kind customized guitar signed by Bo Diddley, tickets to the Regis & Kelly show, a Disney Snow White animation cel, an Orioles jersey autographed by Cal Ripken, Jr., a weekend in Malibu, and much much more….

Maybe I should chip in a prize of my own? A pub tour? Or, Mr. H4H, nationally published food writer**, comes to your house and gives a cooking lesson incorporating all your nutritionist’s suggestions? A pub tour? I’d offer a mix CD but I don’t think I can offer other people’s music as a prize really. Oh, what about a pub tour?

So check it out yo.

*I assure you I get no money for this. Indeed, from this blog I’ve earned around $3.50 in Amazon referrals and they don’t give you your gift certificate till you reach $10. And, as I purchased the domain; I’m about 14 years away from breaking even on the first two years.
**And he shares with you the unsurprising anecdote about how his arguably coarse language was personally removed from a national magazine by an extremely famous person. As an added bonus, he’ll probably wear a toque.
