New York: Good for Charity, Fun for You

18603_detail_1.jpgI get a very cool weekly email from the Girlie Girl Army, which seems to serve a yoga-y, fashion-y, animal rights-y contingent of young women in NYC looking for shelter, bling, peace, puppies, good jeans, and vegan recipes. An odd blend, to be sure. But it's like a thinking, spiritual woman's Daily Candy.

Anyway, this week it held a tidbit about an online charity auction benefitting Farm Sanctuary, a no-kill animal shelter (one of the very few in the country) in upstate New York and California.

Lots of celebs seem to be pro-Farm Sanctuary. Especially the conscious, health and yoga-oriented set. Here's a sampling of the bevy of incredible biddables based in NYC. Most online bidding ends December 17 (though some close earlier)--these could be the perfect gifts for the person who has everything--except backstage passes to Carlos Santana.

  • A private class with Jivamukti yoga studio's Sharon Gannon (amazingly, no bids yet! they start at $250)

  • A weekend for two at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health

  • Dinner for four at Pure Food and Wine (yum!)

  • A private tour of Peter Max's studio with a signed poster and dinner for two with Peter and his wife Mary at vegan restaurant Candle 79.

  • Dinner for four at veggie restaurant Blossom

  • If you're in L.A., you can grab lunch with yoga-practicing Alicia Silverstone or Ed Begley, Jr. (plus a tour of Begley's uber-eco home)

  • A phone consultation with intuitive "Psychic Girl"

  • Under The Canopy 100% organic bed and bath gift basket

    • What are your yoga fantasies? A class with Sting? A month in Pune? The chance to practice for 10 minutes without interruption?
