We’re approaching the end of the runway for Chicago IRL #4’s telethon with less than 69 sensual hours to go! We’ve got a few exciting last minute additions.

*All levels at $12 and above include the fourth issue. This is the best way to pre-order a copy! Orders made after the Kickstarter won’t have such an exciting set of bonus options to choose from.

*All levels at $15 and above include the set of artist postcards featuring work from Chicago IRL contributors. The set now includes issue 2 contributor Vincent Chevalier’s HYPER-REAL (and hopefully a few more before all is said and done).

*All levels at $30 or above that mention the choice of artist prints or jockstrap now also include a curated selection of issue 3 contributor (and soon to be issue 4 cover model) Kiam Marcelo Junio’s original polaroids!

All of the funds raised go directly towards paying printing costs for the magazine and production costs for the rewards. We provide free copies of the issue to every contributor whose work appears, and we also donate copies to local archives and other lgbtq libraries and institutions.

We’ve opened our phone lines, played the ukelele, and put on a puppet show. So please, donate maybe?

apdt asked: how has your work changed the relationships you have with family, friends? where do you see yourself in 2 years? if you had 5 articles of clothing to pull from your closet that you couldn’t live without, what would they be?

AndySiharath: I think the most drastic change in my life isn’t that my work has or hasn’t changed the relationship I have with my friends and family, but the other way around. The new friends that I’ve made and the new friends I have yet to meet have all contributed to this passion and line of work that I’m producing. I am so inspired by people I see and performances that I am able to participate in and witness that contribute to my work that is still new, to me especially, and is still ever growing. I am slowly beginning to see the impact of my work on my family and friends and so far, it’s been a positive one.

In two years, I would love for my name and label to be far dispersed amongst people. I’d love to design full outfits, costumes, looks, etc. and perhaps start performing some. I have this thing where I need to prove to myself that I can do something, i.e. being a go-go-gothic dancer. But once I accomplished that, the high has stuck and I want more! We’ll see. I am very eager and curious to see where life takes me.

Hrmmmm, 5 articles of clothing I would pull from my closet that I could never be without would be:

Black leggings (just discovered how wonderful they are)

High-waisted shorts (I love anything and everything high-waisted)

Floral lace top(s) (do I have to pick just one…)

American Apparel briefs (they’re just cute and colorful)

The bolero with epaulettes I made (it’s just so Beyonce)
