Oxfam
Oxfam was a charity set up in 1942 to provide relief for Greek civilians during World War 2. Oxfam say "We’ve always been rather vocal about ending poverty. We’ve taken on governments, international organisations and corporations. We took out ads in the 50s (unprecedented!), defied restrictions by helping the people of Cambodia in ’79 (groundbreaking!), and harassed numerous G8 conferences (ongoing!)". Today, Oxfam deals with Global crisis such as the one in Somalia, where Oxfam and its local partners are providing lifesaving assistance to families struggling in the face of famine and conflict.
Oxfam have pioneered lots of new fundraising ideas in their time and in 2006 they began 'Oxjam' - the biggest music festival in the country right now. Oxjam is a series of musical events/gigs which take place throughout October, organised by local people/artists/bands/musicians to raise money for Oxfam. Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque decided to get involved with this festival this year, and, like Oxfam, we have decided to think outside of the box and hold a burlesque event, rather than a band/gig/musical event to raise money. We have decided to combine twirling tassles and collection tins to shake up some money for this wonderful charity.
With our biggest raffle to date and a record number of performers from outside of Sheffield, this show promises to be rather spectacular. We have a garden of Eden, feathers, fans, champagne and Charlie Chaplin! That's right - Charlie Chaplin!
So come along to West Street Live on Sunday the 16th of October and join in the fun, friskiness and fundraising! The price of your advance admission (£6) can buy school dinners for 100 children living in developing countries, so what are you waiting for? www.secretsoftheboudoirburlesque.com
Do You Need Further Proof of the Fantastic work Oxfam Does?
Sierra Leone is a West African country with a population of 6 million and is one of the least developed countries in the World.
45% of the population are children.
1 in 3 will die before the age of 5.
In the poorest area of the country only 40% have access to clean water and only 13% have access to a toilet.
Oxfam help by setting up a Community Hygiene Group:
They identify the best place to put a water pump.
They train the community to use it.
Then allow the villagers to build the latrines that Oxfam donates.
They teach hygiene to the community and build drying racks and washing lines.
£12 (two tickets to our Oxjam event) can buy a Hygiene Kit for one family.
£50 (25 raffle tickets for our Oxjam event) can buy materials to build clean toilets.
£3,000 can provide one well to provide clean water for one village.
So please, purchase your admission to a fabulous variety show today and donate to Oxfam.

Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque Does Oxjam
On October the 16th, Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque Does Oxjam at West Street Live, Sheffield, UK.
This year, Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque has decided to become involved with Oxjam - Britain's largest music festival which aims to provide money for Oxfam. SotBB wants to bring lashings of burlesque into Oxjam and will be providing an event filled with just that, plus, plenty of cabaret, as well as the usual mix of striptease, vaudeville, comedy and dance.
Starring:
Tiffany Beau,
Von Vamp,
Foxie Le Roc,
Cadillac Arrest,
Lacie May,
Danni La Blue,
Deadly Nightshade,
Sian De Leir,
Depravity Jane
With Cabaret from:
Lady Ella,
Miss Moonlight,
Evie Farrah and Cassie Devine,
Mistress Mimi
and
Knickerbockerglory.
Compered by the delicious, Duke O'GGGGGGrowl.
It seems fitting to raise money for a charity which began in 1942 to provide relief for World War 2 civilians, and is currently helping to empower women in impoverished countries. To us, these two things are what burlesque is all about - era's gone by - especially post-wartime 1940's/50's, and the empowerment and liberation of women.
We just had to get involved!
With a record number of SotBB performers, and burlesque starlets from all across the country gracing our stage, our Oxjam event promises to be our biggest yet.
With vintage stalls, our BIGGEST EVER RAFFLE, and a prize for the best dressed guest, why not dress as glamorously as you possibly can and come along to help raise plenty of money for Oxfam?
Admission can be purchased at £6 from Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque, or at £8 on the door.
Sunday the 16th of October 2011. 7.00pm - Midnight.
West Street Live,
128 West Street,
Sheffield,
S1 4ES.
Please note: Tickets WILL NOT be posted out to you before the show, instead your name will be added to a guest list and you will be stamped into our venue upon arrival at our show.
