From our history of posts, you know we love a great cause. But we’ll especially love it if it’s promoting the type of thing we do here at JoshSpear, like writing. In an unexpected pairing, Anthropologie is throwing something called the Eco-Dermy Benefit for McSweeney’s 826LA, the literary empire’s two Los Angeles non-profit writing bases for kids. Six visual artists from the womenswear retailer created 20 very neat papier mâché taxidermy animal heads, from zebras to rhinos, in different sizes for a special auction happening May 1 at The Grove location of Anthropologie, with money from the sales going to the writing center. The choice and manner of the goods being put on the auction block also do double-duty as a message to protect wildlife. One good cause is already a brilliant idea, but two in one? That’s a freebie. RSVP for your seat at the auction by April 26 at (215) 454-4433.
