Hey everyone! The maintenance we had to complete went well and everything should be clean and tidy and that much more secure! If you do notice anything strange that you think just shouldn’t be happening, please be sure to let us know by emailing me at webmaster [at] thefemmeshow [dot] com.
Last night the local chapter of our touring ensemble met to rehearse and make plans. It’s starting to sink that this tour is really happening. And it’s really going to be fun!
Don’t you think we should tour on bikes one of these days? Think of the carbon footprint!
We added a show on Sunday, August 15 at Bluestockings. We are super excited to have Kit Yan, Lea Robinson and Corrina Bain join us. Be sure to keep checking the tour page for updates about all our shows!
In addition to our Kickstarter campaign, we’ve been having tons of fun raising $ to support our tour and fall shows live and in person.
Lap Dances!
Last week, Heywood Wakefield, Becca d’Bus, TraniWreck go go dancers Oliver Tryst (of Babes in Boinkland) and Lolli Hoops (of the Boston Circus Guild) joined Johnny Blazes to show folks a good time at TraniWreck! Thanks to the dancers, the recipients, everyone who tipped, and of course Truth Serum Productions for their support!

Tea Party
SPPSSM reports that they had a lovely evening entertaining their guests with refreshments and etiquette advice at their home on the shores of Jamaica Pond. Phyllis and Beatrice would like to note that the guests were most gracious and enlightened.
Hi friends,
Our tour page has been updated right here!
Also remember to check our Facebook page to RSVP and see who’s coming to the shows!
We are so excited to see you at a show!
We are so grateful to all our backers!!!! Thanks to you, we’ve reached our goal of $600 on Kickstarter.
And now our backers can look forward to looking fancy in Femme Show accoutrement! You scratch our back, we put pasties on your front.
In addition to hot gluing your goods, Femmes and friends are firing on all cylinders to get ready for tour popping off in a mere 17 days. 17!
So we want to pose one more challenge to our supporters. (When I say pose, imagine this…
We were so successful so quickly we want to see if we can raise a bit more money. So far, your contributions will fund van rental, travel costs, and venue rental on our August tour when we bring the Femme Show to NEW CITIES on our LONGEST TOUR EVER
They will also help fund the rent for our all-new show in Cambridge, October 7 and 8. Renting a venue in Boston is one of our biggest expenses of the entire year. Femme supporters can help us demolish this expense and get some more fancy opportunities in return! Please consider sharing our Kickstarter with your friends so that we can increase our goal and fund the fall show!
**If we reach $800, ALL BACKERS will get your very own postcard from our touring cast mailed from the road!
**If we reach $1000, we will make a sparkly honor roll with ALL our backers’ names, pose with it at each of our tour stops , and post it on the blog. And you’ve seen us pose right??!? THEN we will ask you, our backers to choose our 2010 curtain call song in Cambridge!! As long as it’s not “Single Ladies.”
THANK YOU for helping bring us on the road! See our Tour Page for all our destinations!
If you’re able to increase your donation, that’s great! If you’re able to email this Kickstarter link to 5 friends that’s fabulous! If you’re able to tweet about the Femme Show that’s grand! If you’re able to make our Kickstarter your status for a day that’s superfantastic!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and glitter bottles.
So, we’ve stuck to the schedule, more or less, with a river swim and dinner. 
Now we’re sitting on the couch discussing the origins of SPPSSM. We used to much less philanthropic and more misanthropic.
We’ve drafted some SPPSSM, explained public relations to my grandmother, sent tons of booking emails, and eaten lunch. It’s time for a swimming break!
Rachel ate all the cheese puffs. Maggie made salad and Rachel discovered this egg carton.
I had no idea I was eating butch’s eggs for breakfast!
