...thangs for a good cause. The 2003 Harvard Dance Marathon was held at The Matrix club in Boston, raising over $9,000 to benefit the Elisabeth Glaser Pedriatric AIDS Foundation. The Har’d CORPS event was organized by Lauren E. Bonner ’04 with former MTV personality Eric Nies hosting the fundraiser, along with Alexis C. Madrigal ’04.

One shows Lena's face as she apparently masturbates, while the video for their worldwide...
...Nicholas was the only one who offered to pay in advance," Kirk says. Nicholas is Nicholas Callaway, a publisher and packager of luxe books on photography, design and fashion, including Madonna's notorious Sex book (which explains why the popstress had a copy of Tea Party handy for her MTV gig).
