Bigger Sister Channel is turning one years old and you are humbly invited to our birthday party! Bigger
Sister Channel is a community project that facilitates peer-to-peer education between sex workers in
Australia.
On this special evening, we will be celebrating Bigger Sister Channel's launch in June 2023, and our impactful programs to date, including the economic empowerment program for sex workers and our monthly skillshare workshops.
This is an opportunity for sex workers to network, connect, and celebrate our diverse and
fabulous community. All sex workers are welcome, this is a whore-party not a whorearchy.
Please note that this event is strictly for verified sex workers only.
RSVP Details:
To secure your spot at this exclusive event, please register as soon as possible. If you are a sex worker, we have a sliding scale option for ticket prices as we do not want price to be a barrier. Upon purchase, kindly provide your work name and website or socials for verification.
Register and purchase your tickets today to avoid disappointment! The launch party location details will be sent to
registered guests 24 hours prior to the event.
Program details:
The evening will be adorned and celebrated with two sex worker performances. More details on who and what soon. We
will have a raffle with prizes to be won on the night, a few speeches and announcements, Lex Leigh as our MC, and
gift-bags with goodies for the first 100 people to arrive (we ran out last year). You can send/make music
requests, there will be seated and standing options for the evening, as well as an indoor and outdoor area. The
seating areas will also be a quiet space for those who get overwhelmed.
If you don't know anyone, just look for one of our Bigger Sister Channel staff members or our Community Manager Lex, and we will make sure you are integrated and well-cared for.
Performers:
We are very excited to announce we will be having two performances by three talented sex workers!

"We are the Infernal Desire Machine. Traditional Shibari with a Punk Aesthetic.
An explosive, erotic engine; anarchic interrogations of Myth & Power, Flesh & Desire.
A wild & wyrd fusion of forms: sex magick, BDSM, dance, burlesque & performance art.
Visceral Invocations of Romance & magic, ordeal & catharsis, chaos & order. Come, Witness."
Catering:
Delight your taste buds with our inclusive canapé catering which will be fully Vegan and a percentage gluten free. Please let us know any dietary requirements when purchasing your ticket so we can accomodate you.
Additionally, all guests will receive a complimentary drink, your choice of an
alcoholic or mocktail option, on arrival and a well-stocked bar to purchase drinks at throughout the evening,
offering a variety of options. There will also be a bar snack menu for you to purchase from during the event if
you get extra peckish after the canapé's have made the rounds.
Photography:
We will have the wonderful sex worker photographer Harper Valentine/Togfux as our photographer from 7pm - 9pm at our media wall.
"Harper (@togfux )is a femme neurodivergent SW with years of both photography & videography skills under her belt.
She regularly travels interstate & focuses on creating extra space for marginalised folk including gender diverse, neurodiverse, fat, queer, blak & sex worker community members."
Please note if you are not comfortable with photos being used on social media or are face in, please do not take photos with Harper. We will supply some fans to cover your face with, but please keep in mind photos will be used on social media after the event.
Don't miss out on this event, where you will make new friends, get a chance to celebrate Bigger Sister Channel, learn more about our programs, progress and initiatives, and enjoy a night of socialisation with your peers.
Join us as we celebrate community, empowerment, and progress with one of the sexiest and fiercest community of all, sex workers! We can't wait to see you there!
Kindest regards,
Bigger Sister Channel team.
