Welcome to the online art auction in support of Lani DeViate, Sydney Ms Leather 2024!

Lani is raising funds to cover her travel costs to compete at IMsLBB (International Ms Leather and Bootblack) in Piscataway, New Jersey, in April 2025. Alongside this, the auction also aims to raise funds and awareness for the Bobby Goldsmith Foundation (BGF), Lani’s chosen charity during her title year.

BGF, Australia’s longest-running HIV charity, was founded in 1984 when friends rallied to care for Bobby Goldsmith in the final stages of his life. Over the decades, BGF has continued to offer personalized care to thousands of Australians living with HIV. Though medical advancements have greatly improved HIV treatment, the need for support remains, and BGF's work is as vital as ever.

Lani and the team at Studio Kink have proudly supported BGF for the past 8 years, especially through fundraising at events like Mardi Gras Fair Day. And after attending BGF’s 40th Anniversary celebration earlier this year, Lani felt particularly compelled to deepen her commitment to this cause. The auction reflects her passion for giving back and her desire to foster stronger community ties across generations.

Join us in supporting Lani’s journey and the Bobby Goldsmith Foundation by bidding on some incredible artwork!
