As you may or may
not already know, Simply Helen sells merchandise (t-shirts, mugs and much
more). This is just a few words to explain why we do so and a little
background on how everything works.
Helen Mirren is a vocal and physical supporter of Oxfam, a development,
advocacy and relief agency working to put an end to poverty world-wide. This
is an issue and cause which is supported by and important to me (your admin)
as well. In early 2007, I was struck by an idea. I wanted to find a way to
thank Helen (for giving me so much joy having watched her work), I run this
very website for this reason, but I still wanted to do something non
materialistic to thank her, I wanted to do something symbolic in her honour
and the idea of selling t-shirts with Helen related slogans came like a
lightning strike to me. After much personal thought, I put the idea to a
friend and fellow Helen fan (Liz) who is also a fantastic graphic artist. She
then took it upon herself to design the t-shirts. This was when the Simply
Helen store was born. We are currently showcasing our second "collection", so
why don't you take a look and see if anything catches your eye =)

All profits go to
Oxfam and the more we sell the better for the many people who struggle to pull
themselves out of poverty. This is a small fundraising initiative, but one I
hope you will appreciate and support.
A huge thank you to those of you who have ordered items from the store.
