Katy Perry sells dress for charity
Written by . Published: November 17 2011
Katy Perry has raised more than $8,000 for charity by selling off a stage outfit from her 2011 California Dreams world tour.
The I Kissed a Girl hitmaker raided her closet for international aid organisation Red Cross and offered up a glittery red bodice encrusted with Swarovski crystals teamed with a billowing pink skirt for auction.
She also agreed to meet the winning bidder backstage at her gig in
Oakland, California later this month (Nov11) to personally hand
over the outfit.
The lot generated several bids and when the sale closed on
Wednesday (16Nov11), the winning offer stood at $8,100.
