Love Tipping the Velvet? Now’s your chance to win some swag from series.
Actress Rachael Stirling, who played Nancy Astley in the film adapted from the famous novel by Sarah Waters, and website creator Bonnie Gough are launching a charity auction to raise money for the Too Many Women campaign for Breakthrough Breast Cancer. It will be your chance to get your hands on some TV props, memorabilia, DVDs and signed photos from BBC's Tipping the Velvet and Lip Service, as well as the opportunity to meet Rachael Stirling herself. The auction will run from this Wednesday, May 18th, until Saturday, May 28th, 2011.
The pieces to be auctioned off are memorable props from the series, including the gold painted phallus which the character Nan wears in the second episode, when she is spray-painted with gold paint for Lady Diana Lethaby's pleasure at a party. The other is the "Nan King" nameplate from Stirling's dressing room door in the series.

The aim is to raise £5,000 before July 31, 2011, so the race is on!
