Anything is possible in Hollywood, even being Santa for a day!

December 24, 2010

When my dear friend Baroness Kimberly Moore (who founded www.adoptaletter.org) told me about her program to focus and support underprivileged children and families in the most impoverished areas of Los Angeles, I booked a ticket to go back to LA, the city of angles, to play Santa”s little helpers with her.

Kimberly started The Adopt-A-Letter campaign five years ago collecting Letters that are written to Santa by children in need around Los Angeles. People are invited to sponsor or “adopt” a child’s Christmas wish. The letters are posted on the website to browse through.

20,000 children in LA had their Christmas wishes granted when their letters to Santa were answered. Kimberly and her helpers deliver the gifts personally.

I was surprising my –adopt-a-letter-child Aroun with a Michael Jordan Outfit, Wall-E and Lego toys.

What is most unique about the Adopt a Letter campaign, which is powered by HEAL LA this year, that makes it stand out from the rest – 100% of money raised goes to buy gifts. If you would like to help Adopt-A-Letter please visit the website for contact details.

Morgan Freeman’s 46664 Bracelet Sparkles at the Oscars

March 7, 2010

Gorgeous and Glamorous. Dashing and Debonair. At Hollywood’s most glittering and anticipated evening of the year, the Academy Awards®, there was an extra sparkle on the red carpet tonight. As celebrities showed off their couture outfits, sleek hairstyles and dazzling fashionable accessories, two particular items of jewelry attracted special attention.

The bespoke Sabine Roemer 46664 Bangle worn by Morgan Freeman and Lori McCreary caught the eye of many on the red carpet tonight because of their greater significance and meaningful positive impact. The bracelets are beautiful bling, but as they are engraved with Nelson Mandela’s prisoner number 46664, they also represent his humanitarian causes and the noble qualities for which he is adored around the world. The bracelets will be auctioned at a later date to raise money for the Nelson Mandela Foundation.

Aside from the custom-made bracelets made specially for Morgan Freeman and Lori McCreary, the 46664 Bangles are available in platinum, gold, silver and copper. The bracelets are a powerful symbol of hope – creating employment where it’s so badly needed and supporting the 46664 Campaign of the Nelson Mandela Foundation in the ongoing fight against HIV AIDS.

Anyone can be a superstar and support the 46664 Bangle project by buying their own 46664 Bangle here – all the bracelets bear a digital imprint of Nelson Mandela’s hand, and are being referred to as the “South African Bracelet for Hope”.
