Story


You can contribute your chosen amount towards a dare below. Once the full amount is received, I will perform it and post evidence on this page, my public Facebook album https://www.facebook.com/jenny.jaffe1 and YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2eTI5Zg You can also come up with your own dare! We will have to agree on a price before I follow through though...

  • Walk from Oxford Circus to Piccadilly wearing a traffic cone as a hat (£65)
  • Try my luck as a busker singing Eiffel 65's nineties hit 'I'm Blue da ba dee da ba daa. Da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa' on loop for 15 minutes, on Oxford Circus. Please note I cannot actually sing. £10 pounds extra for doing it on a kazoo (£50)
  • Get my hands on some horse manure and place it under an equestrian statue to make it look like the bronze horse had a poo (£50)
  • Find 10 strangers in the street in 1 hr who will allow me to draw faces on their belly (navel=mouth) (£50)
  • Shave half an eyebrow (£50)
  • Walk into Gucci store and ask for a coat that matches my dog, showing them a picture/borrowing a friend's pug (£40)
  • Speak with (my best attempt at) a British accent at work for a full day (£25)
  • Drink a glass (250ml) of pickle juice (£5)

I worked for Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary myself in 2012-15 and have seen with my own eyes how they do important work on a shoestring budget. Really wanted to help raise some much needed cash for them in a fun way and hope you will participate! http://www.tacugama.com
