Offering styles in two fonts —and a classic “Dark Lord” Gothic typeface — the collection of unisex caps is now available in special colors named Bukkake Black, Butt Plug Black, Fornication Fuchsia and Penetration Purple. Patten is adding tees and a trucker-style hat with her newest design featuring a sugar pink logo straight from the toy aisle announcing “Abortion is healthcare.”
Having spent zero dollars on marketing, the artist has nonetheless sold over 300 caps to date. Now based in Santa Cruz, California, her side hustle has turned into her main gig as she fights for reproductive freedom via a site and funny Insta feed @followmetothesatanicorgy. “This is a lot of work for me, sourcing the hats and figuring it all out. I just threw my website together, and I have Instagram, but I haven’t paid for any ads," she says."Any cost I put into this hat is taking away from what I donate. But so far, it’s working. I’m going to Los Angeles on Tuesday as a recentcenterfold wants to do a photo shoot for me.
As Patten gets the word out, her main goal is to help keep both spirits and fundraising dollars high across the nation. “This hat was a creation out of despair and feeling so powerless," she says."There’s so much doom and gloom and scary news out there, but I don’t want there to be sales because of what the government is doing; I want there to be sales because you care about the community or just like orgies. I want to show that there are good people out there that do care, and we can laugh together and not just focus on this scary time.”KEEP THE DALLAS OBSERVER FREE...
