People who make us feel inadequate: Lauren Bush '06 ends world hunger, starts own fashion line

Lauren Bush '06, Dubya's niece and model, has done a lot since graduating with an anthropology major three years ago. Last summer, she launched the FEED 100 Campaign, which sells stylish burlap bags to put food in the mouths of hungry Rwandan children. For instance, if you purchase a $30 bag, you will provide 100 school meals! And you if buy a $60 bag, you will feed one child for an entire school year! Average cost to feed one Princeton upperclassman for an entire school year? $6,960.

But Lauren must do more good! You know, "In the Nation's Service" blah blah. She has just launched her own fashion line, called Lauren Pierce, which made its debut at Barney's last week. Her line uses eco-friendly materials, and each collection will support a charitable organization. It's like she's her uncle, George W., except the opposite. And did we mention she's hot? And dating Ralph Lauren's son?
