Who knew charity could be so fashionable?! Housing Works (which happens to employ one of your TSF editors!) put on its annual Fashion for Action fundraiser event a couple of weeks ago in Chelsea, featuring clothes donated by designers and sold at discounted prices.
The event was chaired by designer Derek Lam, and was expected to generate millions of dollars for the non-profit, which services New Yorkers living with HIVAIDS by providing housing, social and medical services and job training.

Personally I don’t think that Mr. Handsome has received enough accolades for his humanitarian efforts. In my opinion a lot of celebrity do-gooders are totally phony and engage in so called good deeds merely for positive publicity. I have to say that I don’t think that George is one of the phonies out there in the world of celbrity do-gooders. I admire what he is doing for the Haitian people. I wish more celebrities were as real as he is when it comes to helping out those less fortunate in the world. So kudos to George and his desire to make this world a better place.
