Sunday January 4: GEMS Benefit Clothing Swap and Screening

Author Janice Erlbaum alerted me about this clothing swap event this Sunday.

Please join me for a clothing swap and screening of the Showtime documentary “Very Young Girls,” to benefit GEMS , an organization that helps girls who have been commercially sexually exploited.

Under St. Mark’s Theater
94 St. Marks Place, between First Ave. and Ave. A
Doors at 5PM
Screening at 5:30PM
Clothing swap and cocktails 7-8:307PM

Suggested donation: Whatever you can afford. Seating is limited — please RSVP to get on the list. Note: Because we will be getting undressed, as well as smashing the patriarchy, this is a women-only event. Tell your girls!

Suggestions for the clothing swap:
Please bring only clean, gently-worn clothes, shoes, and accessories in bags; the kind of clothes you’d be happy to pick up and wear.  We’ll have stations where you can quickly sort your items by size and function when you arrive; after the screening, you’re free to browse the piles and take home as much as you brought! (Of course, if you take a little less than you brought, we’ll have more great clothes left over to give to the girls of GEMS.)
