Stuart Weitzman: Celebrity Shoe Auction in support for Ovarian Cancer Research

Last week, we have produced a DVD slide show presentation to be screened during the Seventh Annual Celebrity Show Auction at the Stuart Weitzman's flaship store on Madison Avenue.

Stuart Weitzman has designed custom-made shoes for a selected group of celebrities and these shoes were put on auction through a bidding process on the internet in order to raise funds in support for the Ovarian Cancer Research.

Until October 4, you can start bidding online for Stuart Weitzman celeb-designed and signed pumps. Proceeds from the online auction will go to research the fifth leading cause of death among woman: ovarian cancer. For the cause, celebrities such as Courtney Cox, Oprah Winfrey, Marcia Cross, Hayden Panettiere, Kelly Ripa, Mario Lopez, Nicolette Sheridan, Sharon Stone, Charlize Theron, Debrah Messing, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Queen Latifah, Glenn Close, Vanessa Williams and Kyle MacLachlan teamed up with Weitzman to design their own shoes.

All bids start at $200 and some have already reached a high of $675 (Vanessa Williams pumps).

Roots In The Garden

Recently, we have helped one of our clients to convert this short documentary into a DVD for the submission to film festivals. The documentary is about an area in Brooklyn where mostly old-school italians, old-timers if you will, reside and proudly resist to change. I was so surprised only to know that this neighborhood is actually Carroll Gardens. First I had thought it was the italian neighborhood in the Bronx. People remind me of the cast from Good Fellas or any other movie of Scorcese for that matter...

After having seen this short, I can't wait to go there and have a pizza before too late...

Bene..Tutto bene..:)
