FAT PIGEON ART BY SYD SPENCER

FAT PIGEON DRAG QUEEN CHRISTMAS CARDS IN AID OF THE BRIGHTON RAINBOW FUND

So, Christmas is coming and we’re all getting fat... or something like that.

The coronavirus has certainly had an impact on every aspect of our lives and with Christmas just around the tinselled corner we’re all probably wondering what the celebrations will be like this year. Charities have been badly affected. Donations are down by as much as 70% and at a time when the demand for their help is probably higher than ever. Families may well be separated this Christmas due to local lockdowns and sanctions, which will no doubt put a dampener on things.

But what can we do? How can we support the local charities as well as bring laughter to our loved ones, even if we are forced apart? Fat Pigeon Art had an idea to at least help out a little. Collaborating with UK drag queens, including Kara Van Park, Dave Lynn, Lola Lasagne, Davina Sparkle, Sally Vate, Miss Jason and Spice, a series of 12 Christmas cards have been designed with 50% of sales going directly to the Rainbow Brighton Fund, to help support our LGBTQ+ community. Humorous and colourful, they should bring a little bit of Christmas cheer to all who receive one. The cards are bright, funny and a real tribute to our gorgeous drag queens. They are limited, so get your orders in quick. If you want to reserve and pay before then, get in touch using the info below. So, where? When? How much? I hear you all cry...

They’ll be available to purchase from the end of October online via the Fat Pigeon Art Instagram and Facebook pages, at The Grosvenor Bar thanks to Collin and his crew, and at The Brighton Bird Cage thanks to Wain aka Kara Van-Park. They come in packs of 12 and cost £15 a pack. Fat Pigeon Art also has a big collection of celebrity prints, mugs, Tshirts and other items available now on Instagram. Check it out! So, all that’s left to say is buy buy buy and carry on supporting our amazing LGBTQ+ community.
