Twilight Goat
Kevin Shea of Irish Gumbo thought of NGIP when he stumbled upon this guy around the Twilight Restaurant near Alexander, New York.
Some goats know how to pose for a camera, when they’re not busy thinking of eating it.
The Oxfam Collection (and a goat giveaway giveaway)
The fashion designer du jour is the Hidalgo, the “tiger” of animal couture.
The Hidalgo is on the leading edge of what’s hot (and what’s haute) and this year, it’s Giving. His Oxfam Collection is sweeping the globe with the hip and trendy art of giving to needy families.
When you purchase something from the Oxfam Collection, you are helping a family support and feed themselves for a very long time. Because you are giving the gift that keeps on giving. Like an alpaca.
or a dozen chicks…
or yes, even a goat…
These gifts also ultimately empower the women of the local regions. And that kind of rocks.
And now, Oxfam America has partnered up with Nanny Goats in Panties to give away a goat! If you win, you will be donating this goat in your name (or you can designate a friend or family member) to a family in need.
Never before has “Giving” become so fashionable as shown in this humorous video which announces the signing on of the Hidalgo to design the Oxfam Collection, and endorsed by the likes of Scarlett Johansson and Minnie Driver. You’ll also get to finally meet the Hidalgo’s famous assistants, the Franciscos.
You can also shop the Oxfam Collection yourself if you’re looking for a worthy (and fun and horribly fashionable) cause to support this year.
If you win this giveaway, you will be able to give a goat to a family in need. And I’ll send you another goaty thing from the NGIP Collection.
The rules are simple. Leave a comment below and you will be entered into a drawing that ends on Saturday Dec. 11 at midnight.
Please tell your friends about this giveaway. Introduce them to the Hidalgo. Tell them it’s for a worthy cause and they get the chance to give away a goat to a family in need.
If you tweet with a link to this giveaway please use the hashtag #oxfamhidalgo, come back here and add another comment as your second entry.
There are many hilarious videos out there promoting the Oxfam Collection. Here’s one where Hidalgo reveals the Collection. It also features Scarlett Johanson and the soon-to-be supermodel goat, Diana.
You can also enter the Oxfam Collection giveaways of other participating bloggers, such as Wendi Aarons who is giving away a pile of manure (no, I’m not kidding, I told you this gifting thing was fun and fashionable).
