International Women's Day

Happy International Women's day!!!

A couple of weeks ago, I heard an Oxfam campaign on the radio. To mark IWD 2012 Oxfam were encouraging women to "get together". The Oxfam "Let's get together" is focussed on raising money for Women in the developing world - you can learn more about it here. When I think of the role of Feminism in 2012, this is what I think of. Women with power and influence and money (like us in the Western/developed world), using it to give a helping hand to our less fortunate sisters. So this campaign really struck a chord with me.

With this in mind, I will be having a "get together" on the 16th March (it's late I know, but I only got my pack on Saturday!) in Preston. There's a lovely cocktail bar in Preston called Kuckoo (on Fox street), so I say we "get together" there. I'll be there from 6pm. If you don't want to/ can't drink, don't worry Kuckoo do non-alcoholic cocktails too.

I will obviously be asking for donations for Oxam on the night, but any little contribution will be welcome. For those of you who want to, for a £10 donation, I'll enter you into a competition to win a photoshoot with Urbantangerine (more details on the night). You'll get my usual portrait package, plus 1 A4 print of your choosing free of charge.

So, I hope to see you all on the 16th March.
