Do-Gooding! Yesterday we brought you Vogue Italia's "MeiselPic," or what we called "What Your Facebook Friends Might Look Like If They Were Super-Hot Models." Today we bring you equally compelling images: That of Ford models Chrissy Haldis and Gelila Bekekle delivering holiday meals to families in need this holiday season for Robin Hood's "Food For Good" campaign.

Remember that Robin Hood Food For Good campaign? Using social media to help raise money and awarness via the handy iFed page? Of course you do, and I bet you're pleased at this timely reminder to donate.

I really, really like your holiday. But not everyone is so lucky. This Thanksgiving, the economy sucks (not to put too fine a point on it. But how else do you describe 10.2% unemployment nationwide?). In New York, where Mediaite is based and where Mayor Bloomberg rules the city with a shaky mandate, there will be a lot of people going hungry on Thanksgiving. Here is the part where you help!
