On the 4th of April 2006, Eef Dries celebrates her 19th birthday. Eef’s brother is Kris Dries, also known as the man who got the attention of national newspapers and television stations by putting the foreheads of his friends for rent on eBay.
But this time it’s different: Eef (Flemish for ‘Eve’) has decided to turn her body into a walking, talking billboard. In order to finance her birthday party, he (the brother) will put up her skin pores to the highest bidder.
You can rent a square of pores to cover it with your ad. One square of pores measures five by five centimeters. Each time you bid 25 euros, you’ll get an extra piece of pores.
For example: you bid 500 euros. If you separate this number by 25, you get 20 pieces. The more you rent, the bigger your advertisement (and the more it can be seen by guests).
Where will my advertisement be visible?
Eef decides on which part(s) of the body your ad will be visible – according to availability of this body part, of course. First come, first served!
How much does one piece of pores costs?
One piece of pores costs 25 euros. The more you rent, the bigger your advertisement.
How will I get my advertisement on the body of Eef?
A professional bodypainter will do that for you, at the actual night of the party, in the presence of the her guests.

[...] During the actual dinner, I sat next to Peter from These Days, which was fun because it’s been a while since we last saw each other. We talk digitally, but it’s not the same. On my other side was Dries, the guy who sold his sister’s pores on eBay to finance her birthday party. On the other side of the table was Eug from podcasting.be and next to him were the asfalt konijn and smetty. [...]

[...] Latest trend is to sell yourself on eBay to the highest bidder. Very recently a guy sold his sister’s pores to get sponsorship for her 18th birthday party. Now a freelance copywriter is doing it even better by selling his services. Anyone in need for some creative talent? Here’s an example of some work he did, 10 more examples on eBay, most of them in Dutch but a keen one for Jeep is in English. [...]
