Thou Shalt Covet This

Form plus function; times eco-consciousness equals Tara St. James' line, Covet. Bamboo, organic cotton, soybean rayon and natural dyes are just a few of the elements that make Covet stand out in a world filled with unpronounceable frankenfabrics. Tara has been described as "a beacon of light in the dark, jagged landscape of the fashion industry (Discerning Brute)."

Covet's got more fashion and eco cred than you can shake a stick at so you'll want to get your hands on these two offerings from Ladies Lotto's Charity Water benefit auction.

Covet this line, not clean water.

Drive Me Crazy

Amanda Dolan's vibrant, loud and in your face collages have put collectors and art lovers on notice. In 2008, Amanda's second show Call Me Crazy was something of a year book; highlighting several pioneering women including Cyndi Lauper, Joan of Arc and the pin-ups pin up, Bettie Page.

Amanda has graciously donated Bettie Page to Ladies Lotto's Charity Water benefit auction. Click here to see what's driving the art world crazy from coast to coast.

The mixed media work measures 36 x 48".

The value of clean water is immeasurable.

Zip It

Owning a car is a luxury in a bustling city where parking is scarce, space at a garage can cost as much as your monthly rent and insurance premiums are sky high. Enter Zipcar, the world's largest car share service. You can rent a car for as little, or as long as you want; with convenient pick up locations all over the city.

Zipcar has been supporting local events and charities since its inception. Currently, New York City residents can bid on a membership and driving credit package to benefit Charity Water.

Clean drinking water is a necessity, not a luxury.
