Ok. So, I get home, and my aunt (not blood, sort of adopted, you know) Alys and I are in the kitchen because I was starving and we were starting dinner, and she says to me, "Are you going to this fund raiser tonight too?"
And I was like "What? What fund raiser. If I didn't know about it, that must mean I'm not going. Nobody ever tells me anything." So, I guess I did hear about it, it just didn't click in my mind that I was going, or that it was even tonight.
So. What this was, was a fund raiser for the Linda Creed Breast Cancer Foundation.
Basically, what happened was, my mom's friend's Amy and Sid own a corset shop, Delicious Corsets, and they felt like doing something nice.
They decided to donate corsets to artists in Philly for work, and then they would auction them off for Linda Creed. There was a table full of stuff that they were raffling off for my family (I won't say how much it made), and somebody's mom baked these awesome pastries and little cheesecake cupcakes. They showed off all of the corsets, which were absolutely wonderful.
Through the month of February, they will be auctioning on line right here. Honestly my op three are in no particular order: Jeff Kilpatrick (Fishtown Skyline), Paul Palcko (Support), And Bird and Monique Ligons (Vise Versa). All of them had hours of work put into them. I'm glad all these artists worked to help Linda Creed. I'm glad that everybody bought raffle tickets. And I thank everybody who came and showed support.
It was nice seeing everybody that I haven't seen in a while. Thanks again.
