Wednesday, September 17, 2008 || Lauren Takes on a New Cause: Dating Violence
Amid filming the fourth season of The Hills, Lauren Conrad can still find time for a cause close to her heart – fighting violence.
Part of the profits from mark, the beauty and accessories line she promotes for Avon, will be donated to groups involved in stemming dating violence, Conrad writes on her MySpace celebrity blog.
"I have partnered with mark in its first initiative, aimed at ending the cycle of dating abuse and violence. Women ages 16-24 experience the highest rates of partner violence, and mark and I want to change that statistic," writes Conrad.
Twenty dollars from every $22 "Have A Heart" necklace sold will help fund the project.
Conrad, 22, says she will serve as honorary co-chair of a panel that will select up to five organizations that will receive the funds.
"Abuse is a devastating cycle. By purchasing this necklace for yourself and your friends, you'll support the cause and raise awareness," she adds about the project.

Lauren looks pretty like that.
I don't like that look....on anyone
I think she looks pretty like that too.
lmao I love that everybody is commenting on the picture instead of the article.
i think its cool that shes taking on this cause.
and way pretty picture
Those headbands look retarded on everyone. She'd look better if they would edit that out.
As for the article, I don't really think it says much. It's not really her initiative, it's Avon's.
That's not to say she's for dating violence, but if she was really passionate about this issue, she would have never used the term "wifebeater" when describing what to wear with her clothing on her website. I wouldn't really be offended if someone was just talking, but to use it on her clothing's website was horribly unprofessional and insensitive IMO, especially considering that she's now a spokesperson for this initiative.
11:26 - good point. I agree about the headband, too. I don't think that looks good on anyone unless you were alive in the 70s.
