Do I Hear 2000?

I�m all kinds of happy from my trip to Albany, also known as Round Two of My Life as a Clay Aiken Groupie, so I don�t have much snark in me today.

Then, Linda turned me on to this tidbit of information, and I actually drew in breath! Usually Clay Aiken news causes me to exhale, mostly in a sighing or panting fashion.

$2045.20 for a teddy bear!

Gasp!

In a matter of one hour and sixteen minutes, the �price� of the bear increased by over 700 dollars.

That is some serious generosity, folks. I�m a donating kind of gal, but I surely don�t have the funds to be that giving. Kudos to the high bidder.

The auction was held by the Look What Love Has Done Campaign. Another group of Clay fans who rate high on my cool scale. Check them out.

Funds raised will benefit the Bubel-Aiken Foundation.

A while back, I ranted about people who try to make money for themselves from a celebrity�s notoriety.

Today I�m endorsing the crap out of this kind of ebaying. I hope this group is able to present Clay with a big fat check at the Raleigh concert tonight for their efforts.

The Look What Love Has Done Campaign has an ebay store with links-o-plenty that showcase their good work.

Now let me go find something to complain about before I go completely soft on y�all!

That auction site was addicting--I was bidding on a bunch of stuff and if I were wealthy, would be wearing that used Clay Tshirt/rightnow (and looking for red chest hairs stuck to the fabric). I did win the bid on a couple of things, the singed Rollingstone, the backstage photo donated by Michael Orland, and the YMCA shirt singed by Clay' Mom. And, I will be eating cat food for the next month because I spent all my money--but am SO happy!! Will thei OCD ever end?

I would love to buy Clay stuff - like there is somebody selling video of a wedding he sang at "before" but I would want the money to go to his foundation. There are so many people making and selling stuff with his name and picture all over them, just making money off of something they have no right to (MY Clay, that is). I'm enjoying reading on your site - it is comforting to know that I am not the ONLY clazy forty-something woman, although I feel a little less special now.......
