PRESS RELEASE
Dame Helen Mirren donates T-shirt to auction for deafblind charity.

Do you fancy wearing clobber from your favourite stars, but think that stealing clothes from their washing lines takes fan-dom too far? Or do you have a lust for the celebrity look but don’t quite have the wallet-power to match?

Step forward national deafblind charity Sense with a surprise pop-up celebrity charity boutique from March 4th –7th.

Dame Helen Mirren is just one of the many stars who has donated an item of clothing.  

Plus Dame Judi Dench, Kevin Spacey, Ewan McGregor, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole, Graham Norton, Corinne Bailey Rae and Roisin Murphy have also donated their favourite clothing items to raise money for people who are both deaf and blind.

Jane Arnell from Sense says: “When we asked show-business’ finest to give us the clothes off their backs – they literally did. Their clothes will become a charity auction with a difference. All the celeb items will be displayed instore, so you can check out the gear for yourself at 70 Marchmont Street London WC1 N1AB (two mins from Russell Square tube).
Or even easier visit and bid online.”

And if all that isn’t enough there are many other bargains in store to buy. Fab gear donated by Alexander McQueen, Helmut Lang, Harrods, Selfridges, Frost French, Coast, BHS will ensure that you too can dress like an A-lister. All non-celebrity items can be bought instore - there\'s no need to bid.

Helen Doodle's

The Helen MIrren Appreciation Society received this message that we are happy to pass on:

gallery.cfm

I don't know if you are aware that Helen has done a doodle for National Doodle Day and it, along with about 300 other celebrity doodles, will be auctioned on eBay starting Friday, 7th March.

I am sure she would like to raise as much money as possible for the two charities concerned in the event and wondered if there is any way that information could be put on your website - together with a link to ours at - so all her fans can see what she has done for the event and also have the opportunity to bid for her drawing.

With many thanks

Regards
