The job market may be slow for some, but Capital Area Food Bank Ambassador Against Hunger Paul Wharton says it couldn't be busier for him. We caught up with Wharton Wednesday night on the Donovan House rooftop, where he was co-hosting a MenzFit event and sporting a unique charm bracelet. Turns out the piece is part of a new jewelry line called Unto Others that Wharton is rolling out. "I am going to launch it at Charm in Georgetown but it's going to end up at Macy's." Wharton told Yeas & Nays.
The design is a silver tag which he tells us he created. "It's a necklace and a bracelet and the idea is to tie off hunger. With each sale of either the bracelet or the necklace, three meals are donated to the Capital Area Food Bank. So for about $30, people can actually feed their hunger for fashion while feeding the hungry," Wharton said.
But that's not all he's been working on. Wharton tells us he has spent some time in the music studio with Ginuwine's wife, Sole. He recently recorded two songs -- "Hide Your Crazy" and "I'm a Model."
" 'Hide Your Crazy' is about what all of us know. When you are out at the club and you meet somebody that you think is really fine, you dance and you're having a good time and their body looks real right so you think you might want to go somewhere after the club. All of a sudden you get out of the club and the smoke clears, you look into their eyes and you know that something is a little bit off. If they could just hide that crazy for one night, you know that you could have a really good time but you know in the back of your mind no matter how much you want them, they are going to cut your tires and kidnap your cat," explained Wharton.
Wharton also told us that in addition to the reality show he's been working on, he is planning something for the fall: "I'm partnering with DC50 to do a new fashion, beauty, lifestyle show. It's going to be a weekly show called 'Paul Wharton Style.' "
"Hide Your Crazy" is scheduled to be released on iTunes next Thursday.
