Vote For New Bowie-designed Charity Items Now

You want more and you want it fast…

You’d have to be absurdly unobservant to have not noticed our news pieces regarding the David Bowie Peace Thru Art wristbands that we’ve told you about over the past year. (06.18.2005 NEWS: DB EXPLAINS INSPIRATION FOR CHARITY ARTWORK & 11.01.2005 NEWS: BOWIE WRISTBANDS AND E-CARD AVAILABLE NOW & 11.18.05 NEWS: BOWIE CHARITY WRISTBANDS HUGE SUCCESS & 01.05.06 NEWS: NEW BATCH OF BOWIE WRISTBANDS NOW AVAILABLE & 03.01.2006 NEWS: NEW STYLE BOWIE WRISTBANDS AVAILABLE NOW) But, judging by the huge success of the wristbands it seems you’ve all been paying close attention.

You may remember that there were other products promised from whateverittakes.org utilising David’s designs, but unless anybody out there knows differently, I don’t think any of those other items ever materialised.

Well, now you have the power to make them a reality. Understandably, the charity only plans to produce items where the demand is great enough, they can’t be expected to sit on expensively produced stock, so this voting system makes perfect sense.

Below are some examples of the products whateverittakes.org can make using the above artworks, with an approximate price guide and the amount of votes needed for each item, with the current tally in brackets. (Sorry the prices are only in GBP, convert to your preferred currency here.)

Bizarrely, you can also vote for a T-shirt of each design, even though there is no price estimate or amount of votes needed! However, the voting currently stands at 185 for Design 1 and 73 for Design 2…I guess if you want a T-shirt you should just join in the voting anyway. You can also vote for wristbands, but seeing as they’re already available that option also seems strange.

If you truly want these items you best get voting now, as you can see there’s a long way to go…particularly for the trainers.

You must be a registered member to vote and you must be logged in. (It’s a very simple process) You should also note that after you have voted for each item, it seems you have to hit your browser’s back button to vote for another one.
