RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 5 runner-up Alaska Thunderfuck recently auctioned off a signed “Naked Eye” camera with original negative on Ebay. The auction, which was done for charity, ended yesterday with a winning bid of $465.
The organization that sponsored the auction was MIX: New York Queer Experimental Film Festival:
[quote]MIX: New York Queer Experimental Film Festival seeks to integrate the lesbian, gay and experimental film communities by creating an innovative festival that serves as a home for both established and emerging makers, while promoting and encouraging the awareness, making and preservation of work that challenges and expands our vision of media and the world.”[/quote]
The auction winner will receive a signed 35mm camera with undeveloped photos taken by Alaska, which includes at least 24 exposures on the film.
How about we take this to the next level?
