  <title>Lindsay Lohan Wants You To Swap Clothes</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Actress &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/187-lindsay-lohan&quot;&gt;Lindsay Lohan&lt;/a&gt; wants to swap her clothes&#8230; for charity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 21-year-old star of &lt;em&gt;Mean Girls&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Herbie Fully Loaded&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Just My Luck&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;The Parent Trap&lt;/em&gt; is encouraging shoppers in the UK to swap their unwanted clothes at the Visa Swap Shop store in Covent Garden, London, in support of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1072-traid&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;TRAID&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &#8211; Textile Recycling for Aid and International Development.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I am so excited to be involved with this year&amp;#8217;s Visa Swap event,&amp;#8221; said the actress. &amp;#8220;The concept of swapping clothes, getting something for nothing and refreshing your wardrobe appeals to everyone. Ethical stories continue to dominate the news agenda and it&amp;#8217;s great when fashion projects benefit charities.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is the second year the initiative &#8211; which involves people swapping their old clothes for points on their Visa card &#8211; has been run, and Lohan has already taken part in a photo shoot for the program. Last year&amp;#8217;s campaign was headed by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1376-mischa-barton&quot;&gt;Mischa Barton&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I had such a great time at the Visa Swap campaign shoot,&amp;#8221; said Lohan. &amp;#8220;The clothes I wore were all vintage designer pieces which you just don&amp;#8217;t see every day!&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More information on how to get involved can be found on the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;TRAID&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.traid.org.uk&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
