Benita is a photo journalist and long time member of our community. She has visited many of our doll meets, both US and UK. She also visited quite some members privately. She took and shared so many great pictures and quite some have been published by several international newspapers and websites, such as CNN.
Now her "Men & Dolls" photos will be exhibited, first in Copenhagen, Denmark. She wrote us:
And then there is more breaking news as she told us:Benita wrote:I am very excited and very stressed arranging the whole thing. Especially since I’ve just learned that the Photo Festival has given me a big solo exhibition on 100m2, they’ve arranged a guided tour only on ‘Men & Dolls’. The exhibition starts on the 4th of June at 5 PM in Halmlageret Carlsberg, Copenhagen.

Congratulations Benita a baby boy and an exhibition how do you manage
Well guys, she does need some help! Benita has been an ambassador for the doll community for many years and now she has the opportunity to exhibit her "Men & Dolls" photos to a broad audience, first in Copenhagen, next in Serbia (already confirmed), and next in ... ... but this will cost her a lot of money. Especially the big HQ prints (98x144 cm) are very expensive. And right now being pregnant, she's not able to do a lot of assignments to get all the money needed.
This is where the doll community is going to help, that's us, we will do some crowd-funding
To all, please help Benita to realise this exhibition. Any gift is welcome. Please donate your gift to Benita, send a gift by PayPal to benitamarcussen@gmail.com. And in return Benita will donate a print from the exhibition to one of the contributors.
On behalf of Benita, thank you so much
