The Peacock Dress Project
So Cathy and Demi are going to Haiti this week. They are going to be helping folks like the ones in the video below by working on the construction of a community center in Jacmel. This is a huge undertaking; I am incredibly proud of them for the efforts put in to both travel to Haiti (cost and a HUGE list of injections at their own expense) and to ensure that they raised a contribution to the project that is more than any other donor.
If you watch the attached video, I want you to notice something. The Haitians presented here are living in complete devastation, and they are smiling. They are playing. They are laughing.
These people have all lost something; most of them have lost things that are more important than any material possession. They have lost family and friends. They have lost loved ones.
If grace exists anywhere in this world, this is an example of it. They aren’t perfect human beings, but they are our fellow human beings.
If you can give, PLEASE DO.
And if you are a costume lover, be sure to note your contact information along with your contribution so that you can join in on the Peacock Dress filter and enjoy the vicarious thrill of watching a Worth dress be recreated and come to life!
