"Zoe McLellan and Glamour&amp;#x27;s James Herman at a fundraising dinner to help rescue young victims of the sex slave trade. So, I usually write about fun things on Smitten -- such as tips for first kisses, unexpectedly amazing date movies and awesome rainy weddings. But I want to get serious for a second...James Herman, Glamour&amp;#x27;s west coast editor, recently attended the New Dreams Charity Dinner to benefit the Somaly Mam Foundation. At Glamour&amp;#x27;s table, James was joined by his star-studded friends--including Zoe McLellan from Dirty Sexy Money, Melora Hardin from The Office and actress Holly Robinson Peete. The dinner was for an amazing cause: The Somaly Mam Foundation, which helps rescue, rehabilitate and socially reintegrate young victims of the sex slave trade. Somaly gave an &amp;quot;emotional speech about how young girls are imprisoned in brothels and forced to have sex with 20 to 30 clients a day,&amp;quot; James told us. Model Petra Nemcova (who is no stranger to tough times: Her fiance died in the tsunami) spoke about visiting Cambodia and seeing the horrors with her own eyes. And actor Ron Livingston talked about how we can all help these young girls to pursue amazing futures, despite the fact that they lost their childhoods. &amp;quot;I cried my eyes out,&amp;quot; James told us, &amp;quot;and I was not alone.&amp;quot; We heard that the benefit raised about $250,000--we are thrilled! If you&amp;#x27;d like to help The Somaly Mam Foundation, visit its website. Thank you so much, James! Photo: Wenn"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
