This is serious, and not an insult or joke
I contacted OPTIC in San Francisco. This is a group that helps transgendered in crisis. I was told that three members of the TG/TV [transgender/transvestite?] community in NO were coming to SF as they are victims of Katrina.
What had sparked my call to OPTIC was this idea: The professional TV performers in NO have also lost, homes, personal possessions, jobs. So I wanted to start collecting items that would allow them to re=establish their careers, items such as sequins, feathers, fabrics, etc. OPTIC actually thought it was a good idea. The OPTIC organizer is Dawnne and can be contacted at XXXXX.XXXX
I am contacting other costumers I know for donations.

1. You might want to write AFTRA and SAG unions about your idea, and OPTIC's program.

2. Good Idea
I have family in those unions. I'll contact them.
ROFLMAO
Now I'm really worried about the pets.
You can send your donations to the Red Crossdressers.
More like, "No sodomite behind left."
On a somewhat related thread......

LOL.
Good one.
I missed the very first line of your post ("The DUers think of everything!:")
I thought YOU were asking FReepers to start collecting "items such as sequins, feathers, fabrics, etc.". My company has been collecting donations for Katrina evacuees, but this is a bit of a stretch.
LMAO!!
out of curiosity, do they have special port-a-poties?
Go ahead. Send them your sequins. :-)
