First Annual Holiday FEED-Raiser: Lauren Bush Throws Party For Her Favorite Bag

[Lauren Bush, Henry Foster, Ellen Gustafson. Photos by NICK HUNT for PMc]

Lauren Bush has dedicated the past four years traveling around the world helping with food aid as the United Nation WFP's honorary spokesperson and the CEO and co-founder of FEED Projects LLC. She has been spotted about town carrying one of her fashionably green FEED bags at every event for the past year, and while it might be time for Lauren to get a new accessory, at least she is dedicated to speaking out for a cause. Last night Lauren, with the help of host, Mercy Corps, held the first annual Holiday FEED-Raiser & Market Party at the Mercy Corps Action Center in New York City.

More photos from this event below...

Guests like Moby, Andrew Saffir, Ashley Bush, Teddy van Beuren, and Lauren's beau David Lauren mingled about and shopped through the charitable goods including the popular reversible burlap and cotton bag stamped with "FEED the children of the world" and the number "1" signifying how each bag feeds one child for one year.

Nite Jewel, Teen Inc., Heart Shaped Rock

When: Thu, Sep 2, 8:00 pm - 12:00 pm

Where: The Troubadour

Admission: Ticketed Event

Description:

Stones Throw Records CEO and hip-hop producer Peanut Butter Wolf may seem an odd choice to spin wax in between the acts on this experimental rock-ish bill, but there's more of a connection than one might assume. Within the last year or so, Leimert Park funk star Dâm-Funk, a Stones Throw act, became enamored with the swoony, groove-steeped tunes of Ramona Gonzalez, aka Nite Jewel, no doubt seeing her as a sort of artistic soul hermana. She too has a thing for the '80s, though her particular poison is a lo-fi swirl of hazy synth-pop, filtered new age and scuffed-up disco. She's got a new EP out called Am I Real, and the fresh-faced, aptly named local act Teen Inc. contributes to the titular track. Their style is decidedly dripping with the influence of Prince, but like Nite Jewel, they dress their adoration up in tons of warped-tape goodness. Heart Shaped Rock is another Ramona Gonzalez project, featuring songs written by Human Ear Music founder Jason Grier.
