Look, we know the last month of partial freedom has your bank account praying for another lockdown, but there are some things you should probably dip into the savings for. Like this charity auction and celebration of queer self-love called I LOVE ME, organised by Willbees and the model and actor Bobbi Salvör Menuez. Act quick and bid right, and you could get your hands on some one-of-a-kind Euphoria memorabilia or a Ryan McGinley print.
The auction, which is raising money for the charity G.L.I.T.S, (Gays and Lesbians Living in a Transgender Society) has gathered some truly iconic contributors for the sale. Like we said, Euphoria fans are being well and truly fed: Kat’s iconic cat mask, worn by Barbie Ferreira, has been kindly donated by the star herself. With bids starting at $500 you could own a piece of television history. In a similar vein, Hunter Schafer who, of course, plays Jules, has donated some of her original watercolour artworks, which are already fetching a pretty high sale price.
Elsewhere, the auction is delving into other facets of queer culture. Activist Chelsea Manning has donated the Dungeons and Dragons dice she used when she was imprisoned; John Waters has signed a poster for his 1970 movie Multiple Maniacs; Telfar Clemens has donated three signed bags to the cause; while Bobbi has raided their wardrobe for designer pieces to auction off too.
For those with a bit more to spend, the Vaquera team are selling a custom garment made for Selena Gomez that’s currently sitting at $4250. There’s also a one off print of a photograph titled “Chartruse”, which has a rough guide price of $3-4000.
If you’ve got the cash sitting about, you know how best to spend it. And for those who want to support but can’t handle the auction anxiety, you can pick up a hoodie or t-shirt instead! The auction ends tonight, so act quick and check out the listings here.
