It takes Paris Hilton to sell even for a good cause

Well we all know that Paris Hilton seems to have mastered the art of selling herself to market her products already. What’s interesting to know now is that it also takes a Paris Hilton to raise funds. And it’s not the Race To Erase MS campaign I am talking about.

I am talking about a T-shirt created by an artist that features a “Darfur victim carrying what appears to be a Louis Vuitton purse and a tiny dog” ala Paris Hilton. The custom T shirts are purposely designed to show what the world is paying attention to while thousands die of genocides.

Yes, it’s all for a good cause. The T-shirt’s designer, Nadia Plesner is a member of Designers for Darfur, a group that aims to raise money for genocide victims in Sudan.

The image entitled “Simple Living” (probably taken from Paris’s previous reality show, too) has got the artist inspired. “I felt horrified by the fact that even with the genocide and other ongoing atrocities in Darfur, Paris Hilton was the one getting all the attention,” she says.

Sad but true. But is that Paris Hilton’s fault? I don’t think so but at least there’s Paris Hilton they can use to convey their group’s message, right?!

Anyway, the T-shirt’s design is actually cool. But I guess I’d have mine at SonicShack.com. I know it’s where I can reproduce that design using state of the art digital printing. Since the site allows me to design my own T-shirt I also get to have a T-shirt that speaks so much of my personality. I mean, “Simple Living” is okay yet I think it’s too strong and emotional for my personality.

I hope a little alteration would do no harm in conveying the shirt’s message.
