Interested in joining an Australian Lesbian or womens group?
Hello!
There is a lot of ladies in the world who need help [see below]. I'm just sending an email to see how many of you would be interested in joining an Australian Lesbian or womens group before I form it. Just drop an email to fun@tradingwhispers.com if you think it is something you would like to be involved in and nclude an appropriate name.
I've recently started helping empowering women by lending them money though the Kiva (www.kiva.org), a non-profit that allows you to lend as little as $25 to a specific low-income entrepreneur in the developing world.
You choose who to lend to - whether a baker in Afghanistan, a goat herder in Uganda, a farmer in Peru, a restaurateur in Cambodia, or a tailor in Iraq - and as they repay their loan, you get your money back. It's a powerful and sustainable way to empower someone right now to lift themselves out of poverty.
Once the money is paid back you get to lend it again to someone else. No management fee, the borrower has to pay interest per month. I'm going to give people Kiva gifts this Christmas as most I know have everything and are hard to buy for.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Kez

Your Say
Big Lesbian Beach Escape
hi Monique
wanna thank you for organising such a great weekend at Peregian - you're a marvel!
first time visitor and I was so impressed with all the preparation, info, venue and park, welcome and the things organised for the Sat. good food and lots of it, great fun with the wet & wild ssccccccccchhhhhllllllliiiiiiiiiiiidddddddde and volleyball - the age/ people mix was fun. the dance was a blast - esp the Super group.
yes, it's your business but you're so professional and ethical and friendly. Thanks Nicole too, for being so supportive and pro-active for the SEQ lesbian community. hope you get a good rest!
Susie
Hey Nic and Mon I just wanted to let you know that we had an absolutley awesome weekend. My body certainly has advised me that I am alive still. My torso muscles are slightly sore from the physical excertions of the giant slip and slide but... oh what a hoot!!!! The dance party went off and I have to say thank you for providing a venue that such a diverse group of women could meet. It is always wonderful to see other people, that I would normally not socialise with, in the same room and to experience their culture and fun. Every year my expeience grows just that bit more!!!! I can't wait for next year and look forward to comparing my sunburn with you. Lorna
Good morning Monique and Nicole I wish to thank you both personally for another great weekend and I thank you from all the woman who attended the beach escape. I love how you both manage to enjoy yourselves but still pull everything together, I was a bit worried Sat arvo Monique but you did it and sat night was great I have several straight friends who are so jealious of my weekends away and the wonderful atmoshere at Scarlets always a great night so keep it up thank you both again for all your hard work. Jilly
Hi Monique, just writing to say a big thankyou for hosting such a great weekend. I had an absolute ball, and have finally made some lesbian friends (yey!). I hope that you realise the impact that your social events can have on people. I found it pretty hard coming out, and would never have had the courage to actively seek the company of other lesbians at generic gay venues. You have opened up doors for me when I've felt like I was doomed to struggle down a dark and lonely corridor. Sorry to be so touchy-feely, but I truly am very grateful...
X Becky

"SEXY JUST BECAME SELF INDULGENT"...COMING???
We invite you to come on a DECADANT journey of non-stop deep and dirty tribal. Starting with the masterful mixing of Brisbane's Master Sergeant (Sleaze Ball, Cut & Taste, Boot Co), whose aptitude for huge beats and nasty baselines leave audiences begging for more.
Sydney's Mandy Rollins (Inquisition, Mardi-Gras, Hellfire) and Feisty (Sleaze Ball, Rubber Ball, Tropical Fruits) then hit the decks pumping out dirty filthy sex music with spine-tingling accuracy, producing sounds that dominate the underground music scene.
The heat of the night is sure to take you places you never thought possible, with an extravaganza of roving performers and adult acts consistently whipping up a frenzy. Brisbane's own Miss Red brings her tools and toys, creating a play space that will draw the voyeur in each and every one of us to a unique experience - in a Queer and Kinky fashion.
If you wanna play, look for the Back Room and enjoy, but bring your own toys - safe play space.
"Today the Feisty & Rollins combination is one of the most popular DJ duos on the Sydney scene."
