REDhaute Productions in collaboration with REDbandaid held Sweetheart Auction

Sweetheart 1

What do you get when you add a group of gorgeous gentlemen, a bevy of beauties and a group of eager bidders waiting to spend money on the gentleman or lady of their choice? The Sweetheart Auction!!!!
Held last evening at the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) and hosted by the REDbandaid Foundation, the Sweetheart Auction was held as a charity event to raise funds for the Shaheeds Girls Orphanage.
The actual show kicked off a lot later than scheduled with the host and hostess, both equally dashing, sharing information about the REDbandaid Foundation and the importance of the participants fundraising efforts.
Sixteen sweethearts participated in the auction. Their profiles were displayed on REDbandaid’s Facebook page prior to the actual event, as a result bidding started on Facebook for some persons. Bidding started at $5000 for everyone else who didn’t receive bids previously.

And the first sweetheart was introduced, Ms. Andii Harris. It’s always tough to be the first one up; bidders are usually looking to see who’s going to go first, luckily for her bidding started on Facebook and then someone decided to top that and she was sold. After her the sweethearts started to roll out, one female, one male. Next up was sexy (that’s actually an understatement) Andre Ally who after a few walks up and down the ‘red carpet’ was bought by Ms. BK.
The real party started when petite Andrea came out. The shouts and the whistles got louder and people started to reach into their wallets and purses. Andrea was able to raise more than $20000 for the cause. Next up was the very handsome Dalgleish Joseph who came out with a rose for the rose who was sure to buy him. Apparently the ladies weren’t too impressed with the rose or maybe they were too busy BBMing their friends telling them about how hot he was because they surely missed the bidding as DJ was bought for little under $10000.

The auction climaxed. Anisa came out to wow the guys with her supermodel body and pretty smile, she managed to catch the attention of one young man who wasted no time in buying her. Ian, the recruiter, was next. He made it his duty to recruit bidders by prancing through the crowd and smiling with the ladies. Though, eager to take his shirt off he didn’t. I’m sure quite a few girls were hoping he did. Ian raised more than $20000.
Landy Cognac, made famous by Snoop Dog was the prize that was going to be given to the highest bidder. Feisty Candace was next, all her modeling and dancing surely paid off because she was able to rake in a cool $35000 compliments of the handsome young man that bought her. The adventurous Christine was next with a very pretty, show stopping dress I must add. She worked the red carpet. Her efforts and enthusiasm worked in her favour because she had the bidders crazy. Going, Going and she was sold for a whopping $75000. Lucky girl, luckier guy or was it a girl. *lips sealed* It was a guy but the girls were some good sports as well.

JASPER! That is all. No I need to tell you. Jasper received the highest bid for the night, this charming, young man who was dressed very causally with a t-shirt and jeans had two females emptying their purses. Both determined to buy him they took the bids all the way up to $210000. And the best girl won, the one most determined to have him, the one who significantly helped to raise funds for the girls at the Shaheeds Girls Orphanage, the one who didn’t know what ‘to back down’ meant. I’m not sure if she’s the lucky one or if he is. That battle was surely the highlight of the evening.
Next up was former Ms. Guyana World, Imarah in an attractive flowing dress. She made light work of strutting her stuff up and down the ‘red carpet’ and raked in for the cause $35000. Christian was next, his unbuttoning stunt and his evident charm helped him to cop $200000. Petite Nanda was up next, with the shortest dress of the evening or was it a shirt?! Anyways she was able to keep her dress down and the bids up because she was able to raise $120000. Louisa was next and she copped $35000. Sexy Steven was next and not surprisingly went over $20000.
Venus Persaud, co-founder of the REDbandaid Foundation participated as well and the lovely lady in red helped by adding $60000 to the steadily growing funds.

The hottest and liveliest (in my opinion) for the night was Kurt, he was also the final sweetheart. Kurt came out in a black shirt and grey jeans, but it wasn’t too long before he lost the shirt and unbuttoned his jean displaying the top of his Calvin Klein boxer underwear. He danced, he moved around, he kissed random ladies, he was just HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTT and all that helped him to cop $120000 for the cause.
Apart from the auction there was a well stocked bar, a ballroom dance item and music by Francis Bailey aka DJ Werewolf.
I’m not going to do the Maths but the auction was a success. All the proceeds will go to the Shaheeds Girls Orphanage where the intention is to buy some computers for the girls and provide them with the necessary skills to use them. There are 22 girls at the orphanage aged 5 and up.

Kudos to the REDbandaid Foundation! In case you’re wondering “the REDBandaid Foundation was created to give back to those in need in Guyana and to also make younger individuals more socially conscious about the needs our country faces. They aim to work with charities that help the sickly, disabled, and those generally less fortunate. Funds will be raised by the execution of different fun fundraising activities.”
The REDbandaid Foundation would like for you to join them in their efforts to make the world a happier place for those who can’t manage it themselves. Their mission is: Healing the world one bandaid at a time. For more information visit their Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/REDbandaidFoundation
