Cute Tees for a Good Cause...YOURS!
I accidentally stumbled upon this site this morning, and I'm so glad I did!
What's Your Ista? is a website that makes "-ista" t-shirts, as in "Frugalista" and "Fatshionista" (which I already purchased, though I can't wear it for a month LOL)
What most impressed me about this page, however, is that some of the proceeds from each purchase goes to a charity of your choice! There is a dropdown box listing several charities, or you can petition to have your cause added to their list before you make your purchase! I chose to benefit Crohns & Colitis, as I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis when I was 20, and I find that not enough people know about the disease and how difficult it is to live with, let alone how easily you can develop cancer as a result of it...
I'm always excited to help a great cause, and if you are too, please check this page out!

Unrelated: Calendar for a Good Cause!
As I have mentioned before, I am a freelance photographer, and I've been doing this for almost 3 years...
Every year, I put together a calendar that I sell to benefit a charity (non-profit, as in I charge what the printer charges me and enough for a $5-$10 donation to the cause)...The 2009 and 2010 calendars were sold to benefit Multiple Sclerosis, but this year I have decided to donate the proceeds to the ALS Foundation.
The 2009 calendar was horoscope inspired, and the 2010 calendar was themed "Swimsuits with a Twist", basically editorial-type photos of bikini-clad models in weird or unexpected locations. This year, I'm thinking of making a calendar featuring a series of tattoo portraits I've been working on...you can see some of them here.
So, I just wanted to let you guys know what I'm working on, because like I mentioned, it's non-profit, I donate my time and so do the people featured in the photographs so that we can help make a difference for a good cause. If anyone might be interested in a calendar (which will probably sell for $25), please comment or email me (frugalistafatshionista@yahoo.com) so I can gauge interest and know how many to order!
Thanks for letting me bend your ear a little bit, so to speak ;)
Back to the sales! :)
:EDIT: Side-note, to keep it somewhat fashion related: I made all the dresses featured in the 2009 Horoscope calendar...and by made, I mean I pinned them onto the models about 15 minutes before each shoot :)
