On July 1st, Animal Liberation Australia will hold a celebrity

auction on Ebay. Here's a small amount of info on just some of the

celebs that are donating items to the auction:

 

Daniel Johns from silverchair has donated some autographed clothes

and a framed autographed photo; Adalita from Magic Dirt has donated

her pink sparkly top she wore in her DIRTY JEANS video; Uri Geller

has bent a spoon for us that once belonged to his good friend

Salvador Dali, Brian Canham from Pseudo Echo has donated his

autographed silver stage trousers, female hard rockers Nitocris are

donating one of their guitars complete with signatures from all of

the band members.

 

Joan Jett is donating her own much-loved autographed gloves from when

she toured in 1981 through to 1983, PLUS there's an autographed photo

of her AND she's written a special letter -- just for you!

 

The highest bidder can meet Frenzal Rhomb, The Screaming Jets, hot

new band SULO or gorgeous model Annalise Braakensiek

(http://www.annalise.com), and there's quite a few autographed

posters.

 

We've also got a very special stage outfit complete with signed

codpiece from Shihad (!), a limited edition Mambo lithograph signed

by Reg Mombassa, a signed Billy Idol photo, a signed Martin Amis book

from Chrissie Hynde, one of the actor Jack Thompson's favorite hats,

a 1993 rare Pearl Jam autographed poster and the band POISON are

giving us one of the autographed heads from their drums. We have an

autographed Masters Apprentices Greatest Hits CD signed by the

original members (Jim Keays, Colin Burgess, Glenn Wheatley, Doug

Ford).

There were only six of these particular CD's signed and that was

probably the last time the original members will ever perform

together or be in the one place to autograph anything.

 

And...umm....we've got hilarious comedian Arj Barker's autographed

and well worn y-fronts!!!!!

 

From Spy V Spy we've got 1 Rare Promotional fold out poster, 1 Very

Rare Brazilian Tour Poster (worded in Portuguese) and 1 Copy of a

recent limited release of their album " Early Cases "

 

From INXS we have a signed " Lose Your Head " tour book. This tour

book was NEVER RELEASED publicly -- and was to be the tour book for

the 1997 Australian " Lose Your Head " tour, but was withdrawn when

Michael Hutchence died.

 

These are rare books!!!! All in all we have an INXS pack containing

the " Lose Your Head " tour book, the Elegantly Wasted poster, and a

pair of Jon Farriss signature drumsticks. YOU JUST GOTTA HAVE

'EM!!!!!

We want to make this an auction to remember. The animals need us and

we need money to help them. All of the money raised from the auction

 

(which commences on July 1st on http://www.ebay.com.au) goes to

Animal Liberation.

We are not Government funded and all of our staff are volunteers.

We've been working hard for the animals for 25 years and we are a

highly respected animal welfare organization.

 

We want everyone to bid high and bid often! Every dollar raised will

go directly to help the animals. Animal Liberation has been fighting

for animal rights since 1976, and this fundraiser will help pay the

bills of some ground-breaking court cases. We've got rent to pay on

our office and shop and we ALWAYS have lots of campaigns to run.

 

We always need extra funds and we are just so incredibly happy that

so many celebrities worldwide have come out to help us by donating

some wonderful autographed items.

 

Animal Liberation would love for everyone to get behind us and

.......BID!!!!
