On July 1st, Animal Liberation Australia will hold a
celebrity auction on Ebay. Here's a small amount of info on just some of
the celebs that are donating items to the auction:
Daniel Johns from silverchair has donated some
autographed clothes and a framed autographed photo; Adalita from Magic
Dirt has donated her pink sparkly top she wore in her DIRTY JEANS video;
Uri Geller has bent a spoon for us that once belonged to his good friend
Salvador Dali, Brian Canham from Pseudo Echo has donated his autographed
silver stage trousers, female hard rockers Nitocris are donating one of
their guitars complete with signatures from all of the band members.
Joan Jett is donating her own much-loved autographed
gloves from when she toured in 1981 through to 1983, PLUS there's an
autographed photo of her AND she's written a special letter -- just for
you!
The highest bidder can meet Frenzal Rhomb, The Screaming
Jets, hot new band SULO or gorgeous model Annalise Braakensiek (http://www.annalise.com),
and there's quite a few autographed posters.
We've also got a very special stage outfit complete with
signed codpiece from Shihad (!), a limited edition Mambo lithograph
signed by Reg Mombassa, a signed Billy Idol photo, a signed Martin Amis
book from Chrissie Hynde, one of the actor Jack Thompson's favorite
hats, a 1993 rare Pearl Jam autographed poster and the band POISON are
giving us one of the autographed heads from their drums. We have an
autographed Masters Apprentices Greatest Hits CD signed by the original
members (Jim Keays, Colin Burgess, Glenn Wheatley, Doug Ford). There
were only six of these particular CD's signed and that was probably the
last time the original members will ever perform together or be in the
one place to autograph anything.
And...umm....we've got hilarious comedian Arj Barker's
autographed and well worn y-fronts!!!!!
From Spy V Spy we've got 1 Rare Promotional fold out
poster, 1 Very Rare Brazilian Tour Poster (worded in Portuguese) and 1
Copy of a recent limited release of their album "Early Cases"
From INXS we have a signed "Lose Your Head" tour book.
This tour book was NEVER RELEASED publicly -- and was to be the tour
book for the 1997 Australian "Lose Your Head" tour, but was withdrawn
when Michael Hutchence died. These are rare books!!!! All in all we have
an INXS pack
containing the "Lose Your Head" tour book, the Elegantly Wasted poster,
and a pair of Jon Farriss signature drumsticks. YOU JUST GOTTA HAVE 'EM!!!!!

We want to make this an auction to remember. The animals
need us and we need money to help them. All of the money raised from the
auction (which commences on July 1st on http://www.ebay.com.au) goes to
Animal Liberation. We are not Government funded and all of our staff are
volunteers. We've been working hard for the animals for 25 years and we
are a highly respected animal welfare organization.
We want everyone to bid high and bid often! Every dollar
raised will go directly to help the animals. Animal Liberation has been
fighting for animal rights since 1976, and this fundraiser will help pay
the bills of some groundbreaking court cases. We've got rent to pay on
our office and shop and we ALWAYS have lots of campaigns to run.
We always need extra funds and we are just so incredibly
happy that so many celebrities worldwide have come out to help us by
donating some wonderful autographed items.
Animal Liberation would love for everyone to get behind
us and ......BID!!!!
