Posted by on Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 10:05 AM

After no-show buyers, two Strangercrombie auctions are up for grabs ready for your bidding (again)! After exhausting attempts to get the buyers of "Hot and Hairless" and "The Compleat McSweeney's" to cough up the promised cash, we're putting them back on the auction block. It's your lucky day!

The Compleat McSweeney's
Every issue of McSweeney’s from the first issue to the present, courtesy of a generous Stranger reader named Uncle Vinny. The first issue is signed by Dave Eggers and the last issue is signed by Dave Eggers and the rest of the McSweeney’s staff. Containing incontrovertibly great writing by Lydia Davis, Michael Chabon, Dave Eggers, David Foster Wallace, George Saunders, Sarah Vowell, William T. Vollmann, Joyce Carol Oates, and many, many others. PRICELESS! OPENING BID: $1.99!

Hot 'n' Hairless
Here are three steps to a hotter you: First, get a $100 gift certificate to Wax On Spa. Then, a one-night pole-dancing workshop put on by the fine, foxy spinnerets at Pole for the Soul. Finally, Shena Lee Photography will do a full pin-up session with the new, slick, and sexy you—including styling by burlesque star Fuschia Foxxx, costumes, and coaching for poses. You’ll get photo prints and a CD of all the images for you to keep. A $400 VALUE! OPENING BID: $1.99!

And remember, all proceeds will go to Treehouse: "Founded in 1988 by a group of social workers frustrated by the lack of resources for kids in their care, Treehouse helps over 4,000 kids a year with clothing, school supplies, tutoring (only one-third of kids in foster care graduate from high school, and only 3 percent graduate from college), and other critical services."
