What’s the big deal, some people have asked. That much money isn’t that much at best essay writing services all if you think about it, especially if you take into consideration what Kate Moss earns on a good day. Then again, if you were the recipient of that money, you would probably think otherwise. Any amount raised for a good cause makes the recipient feel grateful.

The big deal about this piece of news actually lies in how Kate Moss raised the amount. The news is that she kissed a stranger – the highest bidder – for this amount. The supermodel was the “flavor of the day” at the 2010 Mummy Rocks event in the UK. The aim of the event was to raise money for Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital. The bidding was actually held last year, but it was only now that the winner was able to claim his prize.

So, who is the lucky winner? Hosh Ibrahim is the gentleman who paid £5,000 – roughly $7,500 – to lock lips with the supermodel. After a year-long wait, the two players were finally able to get together to claim (and award) the prize.

So what does Kate Moss’ boyfriend have to say about the kiss? If news reports are to be believed, he was pretty game about it. As for Ibrahim, he says his money was well spent. To quote him: “She tastes as good as she looks!” Well, I bet that many a guy is envying him for that!

Now if we could only raise money this way as easily as Kate Moss was…

Anyone can do their part for charity. In fact, fashion shows which have the usual models showcasing the latest wardrobe design ideas from noted designers today is a good way to put everything in perspective.

Such was the intent of a glamorous fashion show that was held in London, featuring top catwalk models, the same agency that handles Kate Moss. For their efforts, they were able to raise more than £3,000 for charity.

Models1 successfully modeled for a cause using garments made by Hollywood Collections, a fashion store in Barnt Green and accessories from Solihull boutique Le Scarpe in the glitzy bash at Hogarths Hotel in Solihull. The funds raised will be given to Cancer Research UK and the Love Care Charity in Chennai as organized by hotel owner, Helena Hogarth.

“This £3,000 will go towards making this orphanage as comfortable as possible for the orphans and giving them a better chance in life. I’d like to thank all who took part and helped support these two amazing charities.”

At these trying times, such an amount is modest enough for a worthy cause. Especially now that the holiday season is fast approaching, it would be nice to see such efforts which is sure to grow in the next couple of weeks, regardless if hard times are here. Besides, charity is about giving what you can and not really about the amount you are able to give.
