There’s bound to be tears when the world’s longest running soap opera Guiding Light comes to an end this fall. But heartbroken fans of the American drama series can take comfort in the news that the program’s fashions will live on.
The massive collection of clothes, handbags, shoes, jewelry, and other accessories amassed during Guiding Light’s 72-year reign will be donated to Bottomless Closet. This New York charity provides appropriate job interview attire for women in need.
Bottomless Closet’s clients are often single mothers, forced to choose between everyday necessities like food and shelter for their families and making the right impression. The women will receive two complete outfits before a job interview, and if they get the position they can return to select three
more.
While the job seekers will dress like leading ladies, we all hope they have better luck than the often troubled heroines on the soap!
