Publishings 8 Days holds car boot flea
market
SINGAPORE: MediaCorp Publishing entertainment magazine, 8 Days, is
having its very first Car Boot Flea Mart.
Besides inviting readers to take part in the garage sale, the
market will also feature more than 300 items donated by
celebrities.
These items include Channel NewsAsias presenter Steven Chias
wetsuit, Timothy Gos tailored jackets worth nearly S$2,000, and
Nominated Member of Parliament Eunice Olsens golf clubs and bag
worth over S$2,400.
And for S$10, you can either kiss the cheeks of Elvin Ng or Jade
Seah at the flea market.
"When I was told about it, I was quite afraid since our society is
still conservative. But the organisers told me selling kisses is
common in America. I expect that Ill be blushing on that day,"
said Ng.
Proceeds from the kisses and sales of celebrity items will go to
one of MediaCorps adopted charities Rainbow Centre Balestier
Special School.
EditorinChief for 8 Days, Lau Kuan Wei, said: "Weve got lots of
very nice clothes, bags, shirts and makeup. We also have a chair
from Bryan Wong hes going to do a makeover of his chair, so we
havent seen it yet. And Fann has generously donated a sofa from
her warehouse. Its a twoseater sofa."
More than 300 cars are expected at the 8 Days Car Boot Flea Mart
on Sunday, 2 December, at St James Power Station car park.
And 8 Days hopes to make this inaugural event an annual
affair.
The 17yearold magazine has seen readership increasing in the past
few years hitting 150,000 readers in 2006.
8 Days said recent surveys showed that more executives and
professionals are turning to the magazine for their dose of
entertainment. CNA/so
