Hey Everyone,<\/p>\n

Thank you so much for all your support<\/a> for the Genderplayful Marketplace<\/a> idea. We’ve launched the fundraiser, and already raised $2400 in the first week (plus $335 for the PayPal Haters Fund<\/a>) from a combined total of 91 backers. <\/p>\n

*pause* Did you get that? If you’re skimming, take a second to go read that last line again. None of those numbers are typos. This. Is. Real.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For those who are hearing about this for the first time, here’s the spiel:<\/p>\n

What’s the Genderplayful Marketplace?<\/h3>\n

Genderplayful<\/a> is a plan for an online clothing marketplace that celebrates diversity in gender presentation and body types. This is for anyone who can\u2019t easily find what they\u2019re looking for in a typical clothing store, with special support for androgynous, unisex, butch, dapper, femme, gender-bending, gender-transgressive, and gender-fanflippingtastic clothing solutions for all kinds of bodies.<\/p>\n

Genderplayful cares about custom solutions, and the marketplace will host a lively community that finds and creates those solutions together. Vendors will include indie designers, crafters, clothing makers, tailors, and people selling things from their closets and local thrift stores. Community members will pool notes on what they\u2019re excited about, and vendors will take cues from buyers on what to create more of. The goal is to create a culture-rich gorgeous Internet bazaar for the playful, the exquisite, and the just trying to get dressed in the morning.<\/p>\n

About the Fundraiser<\/h3>\n

If Genderplayful can raise $5,000 in community funding by January 15, 2011, founder Sarah Dopp will commit to making the project a reality. Anything above that baseline number will go toward making the project happen faster<\/b> and better<\/b>. (Really, she needs more like $50,000, but she\u2019d rather do it cheaply than wait to do it perfectly.) All financial backers will receive perks<\/a> based on their contribution level.<\/p>\n

Wanna donate?<\/h3>\n

You can do that right here:<\/p>\n

And please spread the word! The more supporters we can rally early on, the stronger this community project will be. The main event is taking place over here: http:\/\/genderplayful.tumblr.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you so much for all your support everybody!<\/p>\n

So much love,
\nSarah Dopp
