This Saturday I volunteered at gala benefiting amfAR, one of the world’s leading nonprofit organizations dedicated to the support of AIDS research, HIV prevention, treatment education, and the advocacy of sound AIDS-related public policy. Actor B.D. Wong hosted the event 
(you'd recognize him from Law and Order: SVU) and designer Kenneth Cole (amfAR's Chairman of the Board) presented two awards of courage. One to former director of the department of public health in San Francisco Dr. Mervyn Silverman, for his leadership in AIDS prevention. And one to fashion icon and AIDS activist Dita Von Teese. She is even more stunning in person than you would imagine and yet very modest and soft spoken. What a doll! It was a wonderful evening and I felt very fortunate to be able to attend. Although I couldn't afford any of the auction items myself, the evening raised nearly $400,000. It was really amazing to see people opening their pocketbooks wide, especially during our current economic situation.
NARS Cosmetics is also doing their part to contribute to the cause. Their Safer Multiple Orgasm Set is available only at Sephora. It contains the very popular Orgasm blush in cream stick form and two NARS branded condoms! Talk about making safe sex sexy! It is a such a fun idea from a company that has used sex to sell thier products and now they are using it support a great cause. A portion of the proceeds will go to amfAR! Love it!
Protect Lovely!
