Isla donated the first coat --


Here's the scene: a 100-yard long white tent with hundreds of photographers inside the walls, a WIDE red carpet, and a stream of celebrities -- think film stars, the author, producers and other "names". At the entrance a HUGE shopping bag just waiting for the donation of gently used coats.

Isla Fisher, the star of "Confessions of a Shopaholic" was the first to arrive. Here's her donation of one warm coat. (As I mentioned in an earlier post, it was 10 degrees -- perhaps she should have kept her warm coat???)

It was exciting to be there, to see the action and the activity. Over one-half of the celebrities and their friends and families brought coats.

Outside the tent Disney VoluntEARS were collecting coats that were brought by the audience who had been invited to the World Premier. Total number of coats donated? Well over 400!

We'll be posting ideas on how you can find "redemption" if YOU are a shopaholic --
