10.11.10 --- 1 being the superstitious number for loneliness, it also rained... but it didn’t stop WA’s creative industry descending to THE BIRD for CELEBRATE THE SUN’s first event for 2010 : Silent Auction and fundraiser to deliver an important message:
“As CREATIVES – Our role in the community is to create, influence and change.
We follow CREATIVITY to find internal truths for who we are, what we stand for and through our line of work – how we can make an impact.
With CREATIVITY as an outlet to express self acceptance through social, environmental, political perspectives - a designer, writer, blogger, stylist, performer or artist can project a personal message ( often at the risk of intense public scrutiny ) as an honest statement of one’s life experiences and journey through change.
It is because of CREATIVITY, we give ourselves permission to be closer to who we truly are and discover how we can contribute to change.
Without CREATIVITY we suppress our right to express ourselves.Following Creativity brings happiness and truth. And from truth –we find identity and our place in the world.
If only more people knew how to follow CREATIVITY – There would be less depression in this world.”
Quoted: Lisa, Alicia, Tash and Erica CTS 2010
At least 100 creative peers, sponsors and public arrived at 6pm, $3 was automatically donated by THE BIRD for each guest who also received Beyondblue bags containing vital information regarding depression. Ryan Dillon’s soothing acoustic sounds caressed the crowd as they nibbled on vegies and local cheeses donated by Harvey Fresh.
In the courtyard packed of casual yet well dressed cool kids, Gen-Y media heads, DROPSTITCH models, designers and social photographers as the CTS team openly prepared for auction. Seen in the crowd were JODEE KNOWLES, ALISTER YIAP, TEAGAN SEWELL, CHELSEY WAYTE, ZOE TROTMAN, SCOTT-PATRICK MITCHELL, ELISHA QUINTAL, JEROMY LIM, DANIEL ROMANIN, DAVID WIER, MERGE, MIKE O’HANLON and JOHN MCLIVER.
MC for the night, JACQUI BROWN opened the auction with her wit and humour, whilst introducing each model as they descended on the stage with twisted bun hair by TONI & GUY and fresh makeup by CONSTANCE BOWLES. It was an array of colourful gold, orange, black and white themed offerings, one by one, transcending onto the stage holding sunny bidding signs. CTS crowd stopping outfits were the LONLEY -8 BIT HEROES tuxedo tights modelled by EMILY BATHGATE and for the lads the DAVID&/ORBILLY white cape modelled by CAMERON ETCHELLS was an instant hit.
BIDS & DONATIONS:
On the night of CTS all bids were officially opened at $0.00 as the crowd lined up & silently voted, slotting ballot slips into vintage suitcases, designed by PREVOSTWIER ARCHITECTS covered in sun’s, clouds and transcripts of past memories including a young child’s red ‘lego box’. Cork pin boards holding polaroid snaps of each corresponding outfit assisted in the voting process.
To open cash donations, the following were announced:
- The Bird $ 3 for every person through the door = $300 cash total by 8pm.
- Zanthus & generics $200 cash cheque
- Merge $100 cash cheque
The guests followed by donating cash - it was surprising to see more notes than coins go into the cases, helping themselves to a blue wrist band wording ‘look-listen-talk’ in recognition for their support.
