queer feminist fundraiser

[sebastienne]

Well hi there, internets!

Do you like laughing? Do you like feeling like, just for once, the people on stage are making jokes for you, instead of about you?

Then you need Lashings of Ginger Beer Time. (Um, unless you're a bigot. Or a Tory. Then, we're laughing at you.)

Right now, Lashings of Ginger Beer Time are having a bit in the way of money troubles. So we're engaging with this thing we've heard about called capitalism. Apparently, what happens is that we provide products or services (and we have these, in droves - songs and films and zines and posters and goody bags and even promises to perform for you), and in exchange you provide us with the money that we need.

Sound good? Then why not visit our WeFund page and make a donation?

We've got two weeks left and £400 left to raise. The rewards that we're offering are really tip-top.

Why not share this post with your friends? I bet they'd love a bit of queer feminist burlesque in their lives as well...

Would love to help but have nothing in the way of money to spare for the next bit. I can do pretty decent digital art, though in a range of styles. If you think it might pull donations I could offer commissioned bawdy/burlesquey/queer artwork for free (on my end) that you could intermediary in return for donations? Any excuse to draw sexy ladies/lads/other in suits/corsets/etc, frankly. People would have to be prepared to wait a period to receive it, mind, as it'd be to-order.

Ooh, wow! What an excellent offer :D

We're probably a bit close to the line on this one to start adding & promoting new rewards now.. but another friend of mine has already suggested an art auction as a different approach to fundraising, one that we might be looking to try in future.

Turns out that being radical/queer/lefty/etc collective means that we know a lot more people with amazing artistic skills, than we do people with spare money lying about. Who'd have thought it...

So I may well approach you about this at some point in the near future - thanks so much!

One more smallish project to do, then I'll put together some pics for Lashings. I have some ideas already, so if you can find a good home for them, that's a bonus as far as I'm concerned. Maybe as donation rewards or something if you don't do the auction.
