  "account": "Melanie C, co-founder of the Spice Girls, is donating some of her prized clothing items for a charitable cause in Australia. As part of the Uber x Australian Red Cross Clothing Drive, she is parting ways with three memorable pieces - the \"Morning Show Tracksuit,\" a grey sequin suit she wore live in London, and a little black Gucci dress. Melanie, who has served as a coach on The Voice Australia for two seasons, explains that she is giving these items a new life with someone else. The charity, Red Cross, has been helping people through crisis, recovery, and everyday challenges for over 110 years. Melanie is encouraging Aussies to recycle and reduce waste by donating their unwanted clothes. She has also contributed to a campaign video and her face appears on a red double-decker bus that will be touring Sydney. The clothing drive will culminate in a one-day mass giveaway on October 17 in major cities across Australia.",
