First of all, I just want to say that I think it is fabulous that these awesome companies would be so bold as to align themselves with a transsexual artist as well as independant theatre. I am hoping that more and more corporate sponsors will support and profit from their associations with queer artists or any theatre artist for that matter.
Benefits Cosmetics is the official make-up sponsor for I was Barbie. I will be wearing their stuff onstage every night, and for much longer. It’s beautiful, beautiful stuff.
Givenchy Hot Couture will be the official fragrance of I Was Barbie. I’ve always loved Givenchy’s fragrances so this is a special one!
…and finally Dermaglow is going to be handling all of my skin care needs this summer leading up to and including the run of I was Barbie. (very important during the stress of a show!)
I am so proud of these visionary companies for their generous contributions, for realizing that live performance art is worth sponsoring, and that art is very very glamourous!
I was Barbie goes up next at the SummerWorks Theatre Festival August 5-15, Theatre Passe Muraille backspace.
