I was approached to donate to a silent auction benefiting the Children’s Wish Foundation on May 10th. Besides the fact that there will be 2 different burlesque dance troops performing contemporary burlesque to the classic caberet (Me? Invited?!), I was ecstatic to be able to not only attend and support but have the opportunity to use my craft to raise money for an amazing cause.
As a young woman without children I’ve been given only a few glances at the terrifying world that must be parenting. Don’t get me wrong, I cannot wait and want a ridiculous amount of well behaved little boys, and maybe some twins, but I’m beginning to have a greater understanding for the patience and worry and care and love and patience that it must take to be a mother watching children grow. I can’t even imagine how heart breaking it would be to cope with your child being diagnosed with a life-threatening disease. Children’s Wish Foundation grants wishes to children under 18 diagnosed with life-threatening diseases (read more about them here).
A Day to Remember, Can Help A Child Forget.
I figured I should read a little bit about the organization and got stuck on a particular page. I will warn you, I may have gotten a little or a lot teary.
So now its ON, I’m all riled up!
I’ve donated a stylized Lipstick & Lace Outdoor Pin-up Photoshoot. And you better believe the set will be beautiful, and that Evanna Brabbins and Robyn Stewart are going to do fabulous Make-up and Hairstyling.
I’ve been sketching and dreaming, and can’t wait for that highest bidder to let us girls show her how much we appreciate her donation.
May 10th couldn’t come sooner.
I hope you enjoy them and are inspired to think of what you might look like in one of these shoots! You’d be surprised what a happy room full of girls, shoes, lace and frills can bring out in you.
