‘Creeps are welcome, your money is just as green as ours,’ she continued. For a few hours, I’ll put the link in my bio, then change it back to the Beirut Relief resources web page. The links/posts will then be saved in a pinned memory for easy access. ‘Have fun bidding, filthy animals.’
‘The novelty glasses are the best prop, I will sign them (if you want), and snap one more polaroid wearing them before sending them off to their new home!!!’ she wrote, listing the item’s condition as ‘worn and abused.’
With every $25k raised, Khalifa has started adding additional personal items to the auction. A ‘old sideburn razor,’ ‘the loofa I’ve been wanting to replace,’ and’my retainer’ are among the items on the list.
‘Let’s raise some money to help Lebanon’s most precious asset during this crisis, the Lebanese Red Cross,’ she added. Let’s go all out and generate a s***load of cash for the Lebanese people.’
