I know Zoe's feeling the love from her fellow dancers since her stuff got swiped, but I would really like to help with her getting some new stuff of her own choosing. I thought if we can get 100 people here to donate $5, that would giver her $500 bucks to get some new jewelry with. Sure when we're talking rajasthani thats like 2 bracelets, but it would be to her liking for sure. And yeah, beggars can't be choosers, but I also think givers shouldn't always be 'pickers'. I'm sure Zoe appreciates anything anyone is sending to her, but alas I have nothing appropriate to send and I want to do 'something'.

I don't know if Medina would be willing to let us use the same paypal account as the makeup fund to send donations to? Please chime in if you can or if you have an alternative.

So here we go, #1 here , 99 more?...

    I'll be number 4.
    Also on Paypal, when we transfer 5 $ because of the comission , she'll probably end up getting 4$....
    I guess if we want to give more than 5, we can!

      hi everyone, feel free to use my paypal address
      Medi13@hotmail.com
      to send donations. please select "gift" when sending money as it will make my job easier organizing my account :)

      thanks so much for all your support everybody, i know Zoe is humbled and so grateful of your kindness. i told her that she is so incredibly inspiring to people that it is no wonder so much help has come her way.

      as for costume recoup, i am making her a costume to replace her "Sari costume" and Rose Harden is making her a new "black and white button" costume. plus we were able to get ALL her makeup replaced with the donations collected so far, Miss Zoe is well on her way to recouping the loss!

      hooraaaay!

      Medina said it was okay to use her paypal, just make it in the form of a 'gift' when you send it so she can keep track. Thank you Medina!

      The paypal addy is: medi13@hotmail.com

      Feel free to send more than $5, that was just a nice little number to get us started. I'm sending $10 myself.

      As for the comission, it depends on what kind of account you have. I have an account set up so I can accept CC's so like if I get $40 they take $1.40 or something. Theres a basic account where they don't take anything, I'm not sure what Medina has but if you want to add a couple of extra cents just in case feel free!

          I cross posted the details in the Indigo tribe. Hopefully that will help us get to the $500 mark.

          I'm sending another $5, some of my ebay stuff sold and I can't help myself! :)

          Also, for those that don't have paypal I'm willing to collect and send it for you with your name in the notes so you get credit for the donation. I'll forward the emailed receipt from paypal to you so you know it went to the fund. Just message me and we can work it out.

      Yup, lotsa feel good stuff stemming from such a selfish act of thievery.

      Thanks so much to everyone who has donated, you guys are awesome coated with awesomeness, and a crunchy awesome topping!!

      I think we've at least reached half of the goal, more so if people have donated w/o chiming in. Regardless I think she'll have a fun shopping day :)

            What I don't understand is what the theives are going to do with the costumes - if anyone buys them, they will know who owned them, and if they dance in them then well.... all kinds of wrath will let loose on them!!

            Gonna send some dosh now...

              This is so wonderful of you ladies! Really so touching, and I am sure Zoe is moved by the contributions.
              But if you really want to help Zoe buy new stuff, register for one of her workshops in an area near you. Support her earning her living, and learn some kick ass new moves.
              She is teaching a 3-day workshop in Vegas in October.
              Check out www.theminimassive.com for all the details. She will be teaching all new materials and performing!

    hey kids! Thank you all for the being so sweet to me...things have been crazy and hard and wonderful. I want to let you all know that it was through the support of the community that I was able to spring back so quickly. I won't lie, this has been very hard...an experience like this is violating, intrusive, and as an artist, has shaken me to my roots. Yet I have through it all been given the opportunity to see just how lucky and supported I am...for that I am extremely lucky. Please don't worry about all that stuff...new things have been found, gifted and replaced....there are others in much worse situations than me right now....just hearing from you guys has made me turn this into a positive experience.

    Yer da best!

    Zoe

      I haven't heard since the last update, I've been lax on the rallying due to my finals ( I passed, and I graduated, whoo hoo!)

      The 'word' has kind of died down it seems, I don't know if we got any closer to the goal and if not should be keep trying? She does at least have the $338 to go shopping with regardless, and I'm so glad to see she's found some peace of mind.

      Zoe, we luvs ya! Whatever you buy with the fund money make sure each time you look at it to remind yourself of that ;)
