Nice! 

I admit it. I’m an Internet shopaholic. This is not necessarily a good thing. Especially when it comes to buying clothes–it’s all too easy. There’s a reason why Ebay weighs in as the most highly trafficked website in the world. (I actually consider it a woman’s equivalent to Internet porn, but I digress). My point is, if you’re gonna go there, you may as well link your shopping experience to bettering the world. At the new online boutique DesignerLaundry.com, they’ve managed to combine selling hot designer clothing with giving back. And they’re definitely on to something.

At first glance DesignerLaundry.com looks similar to Bluefly, but with more panache. The designers in their wide rerpetoir-Malandrino, Rick Owens, Marni, Yohji Yammamoto and Comme Des Garcons (too name a few) are edgier than what you’ll find while cruising the everyday Shopbops and Yoox’s of the net. Their prices? Surprisingly affordable. I picked up a Catherine Malandrino silk chiffon sundress as seen on Elizabeth Hurley according to their blog for $175.00. This is about 30% cheaper than prices published everywhere on line. Including Ebay.

Beyond offering edgey designer clothing at affordable prices, DesignerLaundry gives the everyday shopper the chance feel to and look a like a rock star. Literally. Their CEO, a 15-year vet of the entertainment biz, has been utilizing his celebrity connections to stock his shop. So for a few extra bucks shoppers can seize the opportunity to pick up or Nicolette Sheridan’s “red-carpet-worn” Calvin Klein Collection gown , or Lindsay Lohan’s “well-loved” Chanel blazer or Angelina Jolie’s “mint” leather bomber rumored to be the genuine McCoy from Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Perhaps the most admirable twist that sets DesignerLaundry apart from the increasingly crowded e-commerce space, is that they’re actually working to make a positive difference in the world. Currently 40% of their proceeds from the sale of celebrity-worn items are donated to charities such as The American Cancer Society, The Fisher Center for Alzheimer’s Research and Musicians on Call (to name a few). They call it “Fashion for the Greater Good.”

I call it *fab.*

Prosper, America’s first people-to-people lending marketplace has launched to make consumer lending more financially and socially rewarding for everyone!

Think of it as a more intuitive and much cooler combination of Facebook, Ebay and your local bank.com. Instead of listing and bidding on items, people list and bid on loans using the online auction platform.
People who want to lend set the minimum interest rate they are willing to earn and bid in increments of $50 to $25,000 on loan listings they select. People who lend can easily diversify using “standing orders”, which automatically make many small loans to different borrowers.
Borrowers create loan listings for up to $25,000 and set the maximum rate they are willing to pay a lender. Then the auction begins as people who lend bid down the interest rate. Once the auction ends, Prosper takes the bids with the lowest rates and combines them into one simple loan. Prosper handles all on-going loan administration tasks including loan repayment and collections on behalf of the matched borrower and lenders.

Prosper makes several claims insisting they don’t sell, rent, or share members’ personal information with third party marketers. Their security and identity verification systems are state of the art and reportedly consistent with those used by banks, brokerages and institutional creditors.

Hmmmm. When it comes to a loan, would you rather chillout at Citibank or surf your social graph?
