The Fairy Princess has done about ALL she can do to tell everyone about ALLEGIANCE and why it’s opening is so historic and important, if you still have not decided to go and see it, take a look at the trailer, and then decide to grab your tickets!
MOVING ON...While YES, it is November, and the weather in New York City is mild and lovely, there are people gearing up for their December fundraising efforts and two of these campaigns are actually fairly close to TFP – one because she is IN it – photo from last year –
and the other, of course, because her First Cousin, James Burchill’s Ad Company – RUMBLE – located in Brisbane, Australia – has come up with it in partnership with the Cancer Council of Queensland.
That’s James on the far right, with Katie Clift the host of #LiveWellBeWell Radio wearing her ‘rashie’.
First out of the gate – SPARKLE – now there are 2 SPARKLE Concerts this year – one in New York City on December 6th, and one in Los Angeles on December 15th. SPARKLE is a concert that is a fundraiser for THE ACTORS FUND, which does extraordinary work supporting those members of the Acting Community and extended players, when they need some help.
The lineup for New York City is first rate, and you should all totally and completely come and see it – there are some great, great people on the bill:
Sunday, December 6th at 7:30PM at The Cutting Room – 44 E32nd Street, NYC (212)691-1900 and tickets can be purchased at www.Purplepass.com/SparkleNYC – Please come and support a great cause.
On the odd chance that you cannot read the names on the poster they are as follows:

BLOCK (TONY Award Winner), MAX VON ESSEN (TONY Award Nominee), ROBIN DE JESUS (TONY Award Nominee), ERICH BERGEN (MADAME SECRETARY), LESLI MARGHERITA (OLIVER Award Winner), NICK ADAMS (PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT), JULIA MURNEY (WICKED), MATT DOYLE (BOOK OF MORMON), ALYSHA UMPHRESS (ON THE TOWN), JESSICA KEENAN WYNN (BEAUTIFUL), MARTY THOMAS (WICKED), ERIN QUILL (OBC AVENUE Q), NATALIE DOUGLAS (MAC Award Winner), THE DOO WOP PROJECT (Members from JERSEY BOYS & MOTOWN, the musical)

Buy your tickets for the NYC show quick folks – it sells out in a NY minute!
Next up –
A take off on America’s own unique and hideous tradition of dreadful knit garments that do nothing to enhance either the figure OR people’s view of the person wearing it – our Ugly Xmas Sweaters.
In Oz, around Christmastime, particularly in Far North Queensland, (which is the only place in Oz that TFP has spent that particular holiday) it is wicked hot. Like…fry an egg on the sidewalk hot, and most people stay near a large body of water – either an ocean or a pool.
Hence, an Ugly Sweater campaign would not, of course work – who the heck wants to wear those sweaters in that kind of weather?
The answer is absolutely no one.
Therefore, of course, one must come up with a campaign and a product that Australians and people the world over will use – and that is what we call in America, a swim shirt, and what they call over there, ‘a rashie‘.
So here it is – the #UglyXmasRashie as a fundraiser and as a useful product. If you purchase one, you’ll not only be saving your own skin, but you’ll be saving others as well – so…pocketbooks out – they are unisex and let’s face it – if you are having an issue in the water, the surfie (aka lifeguard) will have no problems spotting you in this get up.
So there you have it – from the Family that brought you The Fairy Princess and a Creative Partner at RUMBLE – two Holiday Fundraising Campaigns that can help people as we head towards the Holidays!
There are, of course, a ton of causes one can give to, these are not the only ones, but these two in particular you can have a good time with and STILL give to charity – so let’s sing show tunes and prevent skin cancer!
TFP out!
