Having recently lost a cherished sibling and losing my father when I was still in high school, I think one of the best charities (and I dig charity, as many of you know) that you and I can throw our money at is Hospice.

Hospice of Metro Denver makes it fun with the biennial Mask Project, which is a charity art auction for which celebrities (Donald Trump, Anthony Edwards), artists (John Harrel), sport figures (John Elway) and other luminaries (John McCain, Deepack Chopra, Garth Brooks) paint and decorate masks.

You and I get the privilege of bidding on the masks of our choice. How cool is that?

You can bet I am gonna be bidding on quite a few. Wanna take a guess as to which ones catch my fancy? I’m sure I won’t end up with any, but at least I can have a part in driving the price up so somebody else has to dig real deep–all for the benefit of a very worthwhile cause. Ain’t I just tits and champagne??? Of course, we could always just make a donation, couldn’t we? Or go to the party.

Or….

We could purhase the Geisha sterling silver mask tag at the gift shop, because it would look so nice with my tan skirt and red tank top. Come to think of it, you’d look pretty good in the Tin Man tag.

So…

The above masks are a little test for you. And don’t Peek! Tell me who donated those hand-crafted masks. Here are your clues, going from left to right (you can click on them to enlarge):

1. He did a very funny bit about being a blind and black klu klux clan member on his comedy show.
2. If you can’t figure this one out, your as dumb as they say you are.
3. This actress has played Pat Nixon and Jeff Bridge’s choice as Vice President.
4. The director of the Ring Trilogy and King Kong.

Come on, give it a go. You know what they say: No guts, no glory!
