Planned Parenthood Benefit w/Ari Chi/Betty Dawl/Luscious Lisa St. Pete philanthropy club Good Deeds went hard on a musical lineup that features one of Tampa Bay’s best producer emcees (Betty Dawl), the area’s reigning ukulele queen (Ari Chi) and the official Pussy Pop matriarch of Orlando, Florida Luscious Lisa. Leave your dick in your pants because it might get stomped at this one where over a dozen of the area’s most talented visual artists — including Alli Arnold, Mike Miller and Kristin Northup — have donated work that will all go towards growing a pot being donated to an organization that believes in the fundamental right of each individual, throughout the world, to manage his or her fertility, regardless of the individual’s income, marital status, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, national origin, or residence.
