Blake Griffin’s girlfriend Kari Klinkenborg is known as Terrell Owens’ ex, but she’s a pretty cool person in her own right. Number one, she runs a charity dedicated to providing shoes and socks to Los Angeles people in need. It appears they collect them from any and all sources and then distribute them.
Back in the day before Blake Griffin’s girlfriend was Kari Klinkenborg, Kari was still doing this kind of thing on a smaller level. She was a volleyball player at the University of Florida on a full scholarship. She participated in a thing called Goodwill Gators, and her favorite event in that group was the shoe drive. She decided she would extend the idea to her own charity in Los Angeles. So the name of her group is Feeding Soles (very clever), and I have to admit it’s a great cause. If you think about it for a second, shoes are absolutely essential. You cannot function (especially if you’re homeless) without some kind of footwear, and new shoes and socks is like a godsend if you’re wearing ones that are falling apart.
Kari Klinkenborg originally moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting, but since that’s like trying to win the lottery, I say her charity is an absolutely great way to keep busy. I’m sure Blake would agree with me. As a side note, Kari was recently in a video of “What HBO’s Girls Show Would Be Like if It Were Directed by Michael Bay.” I haven’t bothered to watch the video because I get the general concept, but I’m sure she’s pretty proud of it. She posts about it all the time on Twitter lately. She’s also fond of posting pictures of her dog Major and occasionally dressing him up. Who doesn’t like to dress up a dog in a an American flag bandanna?
