Buy This Cool Belt and Help Others Loosen Theirs. The Mission Belt Co. Donates To The Hungry.
Buy a belt, feed a family. That's the concept behind The Mission Belt, a company that donates a dollar for every one of their stylish leather belts sold, wholesale and retail, to help hungry families worldwide become self-sufficient.
The Mission Belt is simple, clean and unisex. Made of supple and smooth top grain double-stitched leather, they are available in three colors and with three sizes, provide a perfect fit for everyone. With no holes to stretch or wear over time (the belt buckle functions much like a seatbelt on an airplane) it always looks great on either men or women. It can be dressed up or dressed down. Not only is it the best belt ever manufactured, it's comfortably priced at $34.99 as well.
The tip of the belt inserts into the buckle, where a locking mechanism holds the belt in place from the back. To remove the belt, just press the small metal lever on the bottom of the buckle, and the belt slides out of the buckle.
On the back of the belt is a series of small, hard rubber wedges that have been carefully sewn into the leather of the belt:
There’s a metal piece on the back of the belt buckle that lodges against the wedges as you pull the belt to the correct fit. Then, it locks into place.

The Philosophy: If you give a man a fish he eats for a day. If you teach a man to fish he can eat everyday. That sums up our philosophy and it works. Some of the core concepts behind our fight against global hunger and poverty are;
Sustainability & Self-reliance: That is the goal behind every dollar deployed. Our “Mission” is for families to continue to thrive after support ends.
Nutrition & Income: We work with organizations that help families reap the rewards of their animals and crops through consumption and sale of excess production.
Improved Management: This means that the projects we invest in focus on teaching families how to better manage their livestock and crops to keep them safe and productive.

One Of A Kind Pink Diamond™ Barbie Doll by The Blonds Auctioned To Benefit Charity.
This original one-of-a-kind Pink Diamond™ Barbie® doll by design duo Phillipe and David Blond of The Blonds was unveiled at The Blonds Spring 2013 show during New York Fashion Week. The doll is now being auctioned off for charity with proceeds benefiting the MAC Aids Fund organization. Bidding has begun (link to bid is at the end of this post) and the auction ends on Tuesday, September 25th.
Pink Diamond™ Barbie® doll is extra special as her stunning fuchsia and rose “gem” encrusted mini corset dress and pumps were designed and hand embellished by The Blonds themselves. Doll’d up with her famous platinum locks in luscious curls, Barbie® doll’s dazzling accessories complete her look with luxe full-length faux fur coat, pink studded earrings, and pink sparkling ring!

Pink sparkling ring and bracelet:
Sparkly pumps:
Phillipe and David Blond of The Blonds create fabulous and over-the-top styles for starlets: gem-encrusted bodysuits; crystal corsets; mini-dresses lavishly embellished with stars, spikes, and sequins. The two partnered with Mattel Principal Designer, Bill Greening, to create this stunning one-of-a-kind Barbie® doll.
You may have seen this doll clad in silver on blogs, sites and news weeklies with the provocative title "Mattel Releases The First Drag Queen Barbie" but the doll was never intended to be anything but all woman. The confusion was because people assumed the doll was based on one half of its design duo, Phillipe Blond, known for his own sparkly cross-dressing (see below):

Fans and collectors can snatch the Blond Diamond™ Barbie® doll in silver - as shown above - on BarbieCollector.com, this pink exclusive version is one-of-a-kind.
