You may rise, but you don’t have to shine! The dress code for this month’s perfume-sniffing party is PAJAMAS. (And if you sleep nude… just make something up!)
Join us on Sunday, April 28th, from 5:00–7:00 pm at the Microtel Inn and Suites at Perimeter Center, inside the conference room. The address is: 6280 Peachtree Dunwoody Rd, Atlanta, GA 30328
This event will also be your chance to help the Lab fight period poverty by raising funds for #HappyPeriod. Once again we are asking for online donations instead of products, and we have a team fundraising page set up so everyone can see exactly how much we raised together. Our Dirty South Lunacy team fundraising goal is set at $500, but we are challenging you to help us beat that number like we did last year. Show us your receipt (on your phone is fine) and for a $20 or more donation* you’ll receive a free bottle of event exclusive Marshmallow Chick Sanguinem Menstruum, while supplies last.
In an effort to keep things fair within the constraints of a limited edition scent we will offer one bottle per person until all attendees have been served. After that stock will be opened up to fairy requests. If we do run out of MCSM, there will be a couple of other scents available so that no one who donates to Happy Period goes home empty-handed.
MARSHMALLOW CHICK SANGUINEM MENSTRUUM
“It would indeed be a difficult matter to find anything which is productive of more marvellous effects than the menstrual discharge. On the approach of a woman in this state, must will become sour, seeds which are touched by her become sterile, grafts wither away, garden plants are parched up, and the fruit will fall from the tree beneath which she sits. Her very look, even, will dim the brightness of mirrors, blunt the edge of steel, and take away the polish from ivory. A swarm of bees, if looked upon by her, will die immediately; brass and iron will instantly become rusty, and emit an offensive odour; while dogs which may have tasted of the matter so discharged are seized with madness, and their bite is venomous and incurable.”
– Pliny the Elder, 1st century AD
The copper tang of blood musk, swept by a cloud of dying bees and red poppies of madness, drizzled over a freshly-microwaved marshmallow treat.
DONATE HERE! We encourage you to click the box at checkout that covers credit card processing fees so that #HappyPeriod receives the entire $20. You can also donate at the event… we’ll be set up with online access, and will also accept cash donations.
All our gratitude to the Lab for offering this gift with donation.
