This isn't your everyday fund–raising auction. At past Tiptree auctions, auctioneer/ comedian Ellen Klages has auctioned off her own hair, Mary Doria Russell's brassiere, a hand–knitted uterus, a kangaroo–scrotum purse, a cherry pie, and a Xena Lawn Butt. Among some of the more sublime offerings have been vests hand–quilted by Kate Schaefer, silk–screened montage art created by Freddie Baer, sea creatures beaded by Vonda McIntyre, calligraphy by Jae Adams, chapbooks hand–made by Ursula Le Guin, cakes decorated by Georgie Schnobrich, and texts annotated by Alice Sheldon. It's always lots of fun. All proceeds are donated to the James Tiptree, Jr., Award. | This isn't your everyday fund–raising auction.
