Okay, this is just a crazy random idea that popped into my head the other day but I wanted to see what people thought of it and if there was any sort of interest.

I heard on the news that Starlight Foundation is having some problems financially and are having to cut some of the services for the kids, including wishes, due to lack of donations.

Now, I had been thinking about trying to arrange a winter loli meetup and wondered if it would be worth trying to get meetups all over the place again and get each group to try and raise donations for Starlight, either from among the people coming to the meetup or by doing things like cupcake sales etc.

If it was something that there was interest for, I would want to talk to Starlight first and see if they were okay with it. The point was made to me that they may not want the term 'lolitas' associated with them, which is a good point and part of why I used lolis instead. The alternative, of course, would be costumers in general doing something.

I'd also love to hear if anyone else has ideas like this because I know a lot of similar groups are doing it hard right now, including the animal shelters and protection agencies because people can't afford to keep their pets and are abandoning them by the dozens.

Thoughts? Come on guys, let me know what you think.

I think that idea is made of awesome. I only have prefab loli at the moment, but I can definitely fix that if need be. I can't think of a more made of awesome thing to do with a cosplay outfit. Count me in.

PS: goth style, cutesy style or any style we like?

Thanks, Fault! I was surprised that no one else has posted so I might pop this in events to see if maybe that will drum up more interest.

I was thinking any style, really. Just thought it would be good for us to use are love of costumes and fashion to help out a good cause.

It's a great idea, and I'd love to wear my Wa-Loli sooner rather than later ;-)

I can't wait to see it, I like wa-loli.

Also, if starlight doesn't want us (or even if they do) we could do lolis for breastcancer.

I've been training for triathlon, but I'm only good at swimming so far, so a tag-team event would be great .

Also, I KNOW there are lolis in Brisbane, we just need to find them and get them to be Cute for a Cause. So I'm sure Lolis can do GOOD.

I did post on the other thread, but as a Lolita from brisbane, we did speak about doing a fundraiser in the form of a bake sale for something like the RSPCA. It was first mentioned on the oz_lolita livejournal forum. I was intending to bring this up again later this year for Brisbane.

This is such a good idea! I'm sure the adelaide girls would be up for it!
