Pretty darn cool! Several Thai celebrities are taking part in the “Elle Fashion for Life” campaign, an HIV/AIDS benefits campaign aiming to create a new life for people who are living with the HIV virus. There will be a concert, a fashion show, and a magazine spread in Elle magazine to raise money for the benefit. Part of the proceeds earned from these events will go to the “Positive Partner Project”(a community development group) and also to Dr. Mechai Viravaidya aka “Mr. Condom”, the man who popularized the use of condoms in Thailand. He has promoted safe-sex and the use of condoms since the 70s.
The magazine spread in Elle magazine will come out this month and the concert will be held some time in June 2009.
Ken Theeradeth, Mew Lalita, Ananda Everingham, Dome Pakorn Lum, Tata Young, Pancake Khemmanid, Chompoo Araya, “Cindy” Sirinya Burbridge, Thanachai “Pod” Ujjin, Sunny Suwanmethanon Mario Maurer, and Nat Myria are few Thai celebrities attach to the project.
Pictures from the magazine spread…
Cindy is the woman lying down. Tata Young with her arms up. Dome is looking mighty scary hiding under his red leather jacket. Sunny surrounded by artists I don’t know.
Nat Myria is standing next to a weird guy. Pod is sandwiched between Chompoo and Pancake. Ananda looks lonely and wearing a red knitted beanie. Mario is sitting with a girl that I don’t recognize.
–Do click to enlarge, the photos are amazing. I love the red in contrast with the black and white.
