Artisan Craft Market

An Auckland lesbian couple are holding an arts and crafts market on the 30th of June at the Eden Activity Centre in Balmoral. Food will be sold and a raffle will be held, the proceeds of which go to 'The Lonely Miaow', a charity which cares for stray and abandoned cats in the greater Auckland area.

Features at the market include:

- Quality Handmade Goods: Homewares, food, clothing, childrens wear, jewellery, toys, art, etc...
- Childrens area with toys

The organisers are also looking for more vendors (especially all you crafty queer women out there) so if you are interested in selling your wares please contact Sonya on 021 990 676 or monkeycraft@orcon.net.nz

Stacy Bias and DykeTees

Those of you who know who Stacy Bias is, already know about DykeTees, and technodyke.com, the online community that she created for queer women. You may even know about her efforts to combat fatphobia, her FatGirl Speaks show (and upcoming book), CupCake parties, bellies are beautiful.com and T-shirt store radfatties.com . She's also co-edited (and contributed to) a lesbian erotic fiction book 'Up All Night'. She created 'Pussy Pucker Pots' and 'Literati Lip Balm'. For those of you who've missed the phenomenon that is Ms Bias, you can find out more about her and her exploits on her official website, http://www.stacybias.net/ .

The latest news is that DykeTees have increased their sizes to go up to a 5XL (formerly topped at 2XL). This is a result of much lobbying on Stacy's part to Cafe Press. Her radfatties designs also go up to 5XL.


Some of my favourite designs:










And for the larger ladies...










(I'm Even Bigger in Japan, I May be Fat But Your Mom Seems to Enjoy it, Fat People on a Plane: Don't Like it? Don't @#&%ing Fly)
You can also get the designs on caps, boxers, mugs, mousepads, greeting cards, journals, camisoles, bags, pillows, postcards, badges, stickers etc...
