Fredericks's Third Annual
    Lingerie Art Auction
Mix Charlize Theron with some satin and heavy beading and the result is an $18,000 corset. Designed for the Frederick's of Hollywood Third Annual Lingerie Auction, the Oscar-winning actress' corset sold for a record amount at the event's live auction. The Lingerie Art Auction returns again after two hugely successful programs, for which more than 100 celebrities raised funds and awareness for life-changing causes.
Ms. Theron was in good company; her corset was auctioned live along with fellow Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman, whose white satin, floral and sequin design fetched $10,000. Designs by Jessica Alba, Tea Leoni, Sandra Bernhard and event chair, Julianne Moore were all auctioned at the Frederick's event to benefit the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance.
The benefit auction took place on October 27, at the new flagship boutique of the legendary lingerie retailer, chaired by Julianne Moore.
Additionally, eight corsets were sold via a silent auction during the course of the event. Celebrities such as Kiera Knightley, Susan Sarandon, Reese Witherspoon and Sela Ward lent their designs to the cause. 
Celebrities including Val Kilmer, Matthew Perry, Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Bijou Phillips joined Julianne Moore and Frederick's at the auction.
An online auction will continue through November 6th at www.fredericks.com to bid on personally signed designs by celebrities as Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas, Patrick Dempsey, Jamie-Lynn DiScala, Shannen Doherty, Rosario Dawson, Alan Cumming, Tori Amos and Allison Janney.
All proceeds from the sale of the celebrity-designed corsets will go to the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance. Frederick's of Hollywood expects to raise more than $100,000 for the charity.

How Evangeline Lily Knew 
    She Was Popular
Lost beauty Evangeline Lilly knew she had hit the big time when a young fan stole her knickers off the washing line at her Hawaiian home. 
The 26-year-old was amazed when a close friend recounted how she saw an adolescent snatching the underwear from her back garden.
She says, "I had a friend staying who heard a knock at the door while she was in the shower.
"By the time she got to the door, she saw a 12-year-old boy stealing my knickers off the washing line.
"I never got them back!"

Living On Your Own
A young man moved into a new apartment on his own, and went to the lobby to put his name on his mailbox. While there, an attractive young lady came out of the apartment next to the mailboxes wearing a robe.
The boy smiled at the young woman; and, she started a conversation with him. As they talked, her robe slipped open and, it was obvious that she had nothing else on. The poor kid broke into a sweat trying to maintain eye contact.
After a few minutes, she placed her hand on his arm and said, "Let's go to my apartment, I hear someone coming."
He followed her into her apartment; she closed the door and leaned against it, allowing her robe to fall off completely.
Now completely nude, she purred, "What would you say is my best feature?"
Embarrassed, he finally squeaked, "It's got to be your ears!"
Astounded, and a little hurt she asked, "My ears?!
Look at these luscious boobs. They're large and round and full and 100% natural! I work out every day! My gorgeous butt is firm and solid! Look at my skin. ~~ no blemishes anywhere! How can you think that the best part of my body is my ears? "
Clearing his throat, he stammered, "Outside, when you said you heard someone coming? That was me."
