I am desperately seeking models for tomorrow's Hotties of Harm Reduction photo shoot. We do not have enough to fulfill the photographer's vision of "AN Army of Queers". We have 6 confirmed people, hardly enough to even ruffle the feathers of seasons revolutionaries.
does anyone else know anyone else who'd be willing to show up at 6AM in the name of harm reduction and clean needle exchange? if so please tell them about this.

Will You Model for me PLEASE?! friends only Sat, July 29, 2006 - 2:10 PM
Model for me and the calendar I am working on.
The calendar is called the Hotties of Harm Reduction. It is a fundraiser for clean needle exchange and HIV reduction strategies here in the city. You can read more about it here: www.hottiesofharmreduction.org/
The plan is to have an "army" of folks marching up Castro tomorrow morning at 6am (yes that is in the am but is before the marathon and before Dore Alley!). Folks would be dressed in tighy whiteys, combat boots and aviator sunglasses (we will provide if you don't have said items!). With the people assembled in military formation the Castro theatre marquee in the background will display the message "CLEAN NEEDLES SAVE LIVES". No one will be completely naked. All body shapes are welcome and DESIRED. Electrical tape will be provided to cover exposed bits etc.
I know that this is last minute. I know that this is a risque and strange request. I know it is super early. I know that I am doing this in a non-personal manner. I know all of these things and yet I am asking for your help to make this shot a really amazing message. Please email me and tell me the news - be it yes, no, maybe or you bloody insane lady go back to smoking crack. I am prepared for the inevitable a rejection from you all but maybe one or two of you will surprise and delight me and actually show up. a grrl can dream right?
Feel free to pass this request on or re-post it elsewhere (just NOT craigslist, i beseech you!) to people you think would be supportive of such a fundraiser.
thank you for reading this
many hugs
