The recession and economic crisis has hit everyone pretty hard and it is time to stop just sitting around and waiting for it to pass. That is the driving idea behind the National Suit Drive, an event sponsored by the retailer Men's Warehouse. From September 1st until September 30th they are encouraging everyone with a business suit to spare, to bring it to the nearest Men's Warehouse store, so that it can be given away to men who have lost their job due to the economic crisis. Proper attire is an absolute must when going on job interviews, but nowadays so many just cannot afford a proper suit.

This campaign has already drawn a lot of attention nationwide, mainly because it is being advertised by hot young men wearing nothing but their undies. Nationwide, these scantily clad hunks are disrupting rush hour traffic by waving signs reading “Give the Suit off Your Back”. So why not take your own clothes off for charity? You can do this very easily by bringing that old suit that's just sitting at the back of your closet and taking up space to a Men's Warehouse near you. It could help someone get a new job, or help them get off the streets. And don't worry, you don't have to do so in your underwear.

Andrew Christian will be hosting a one of a kind event – an actual Twister contest – on Sept. 10, at his Flagship Boutique in West Hollywood. This is not just a clever promotional bit of his own design though, but actually a part of the worldwide campaign known as Fashion's Night Out . Fashion’s Night Out is the brain child of Vogue, and it will involve designers, celebrities, models, and fashion editors from New York City, Los Angeles, and 11 other cities worldwide, will stage fun and unique events in their boutiques and stores. The main aim and purpose of this event is to celebrate fashion, restore consumer confidence, boost the industry’s economy, and make shopping fun again.

And Andrew Christian has chosen to host one of these events, namely the Underwear Twister Contest. The contest will be held at the Andrew Christian Flagship Boutique at 8943 Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood, CA, on September 10, from 8 to 10 pm. Should be fun to watch too, since it will feature models dressed only in Andrew Christian Underwear and competing in a full-on twister match. The winner will receive a $200 gift certificate on AndrewChristian.com, while all those who come to watch will get a 25% discount off any Andrew Christian item in the store. Definitely sounds like a good way to spend the first part of a Friday night, don't you think?
