'TIS THE SEASON!

HAPPY CRIMBLE from everyone at Camp Bangle to all of you! It's been a great year, and 2010 is looking bright, with a new Bangles album in store and lots of other surprises!

Before we turn our attention to the future, the Bangles want to take a moment to thank everyone who particpated in the 2009 Bangl-E-Bay fundraiser. Your kind generosity has allowed us to donate $3,500 to Doctors Without Borders. Congratulations to all the lucky winners who took home a piece of music history - We couldn't have done it without you!


CRIMBLE VIDEO PODCAST
IT'S BANGLING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CRIMBLE!

Hey Bangles 'N Mashers - you didn't think the gurls would let the holidays pass by without sending you a little prezzie, did you?...

Of course they wouldn't! CLICK HERE to check out their Crimble video podcast, stuffed full of holiday cheer, album updates, and of course a holiday tune, just for YOU!

This item will NOT be re-stocked, so grab 'em while they're still there to grab - and while you're there don't forget to get a vinatge DR Target Tee or a copy of HOLIDAY IN BANGLEONIA for the Crimble turntable!

DECEMBER 'ASK SUE' AND A NEW PAGE FROM VICKI TOO!
IT'S THE A TO YOUR Q FROM VIX AND SUE!

Need a cozy holiday recipe - or two? Wanna know how to get Susanna's youthful glow? Ever wondered what Bangles tour bassist Derrick does in his spare time, what Paul McCartney said that drives Vicki nuts, or what album Sue's grooving to these days?

This month the Bangles Podcast brings you a little backwards glimpse into the very first day of recording the new Bangles album - Or rather, NOT recording the new Bangles album, due to technical difficulties - leaving Debbi, Vicki and Susanna free to lounge on the lawn with kitties, bunnies, and skunks (yeah, you heard me...) and chat with you for the second installation of the Bangles podcast, available exclusively to Bangles 'N Mashers!

It's fast, it's free, and it's the only way to hear the Bangles Podcast!

BANGLES WITHOUT BORDERS
THE GURLS AUCTION RARE ITEMS FOR THEIR FAVORITE CHARITY!

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is a Nobel Peace Prize winning international humanitarian medical organization committed to bringing quality medical care to people caught in crisis. Created by doctors and journalists, MSF currently provides aid to people in nearly 60 countries whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe, primarily due to armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, exclusion from health care, or natural disasters.

The key to MSF's ability to act independently is its independent funding. More than three million individual donors and private funders worldwide provide the operating backbone for Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières, and the Bangles are delighted to join this proud community.

Throughout 2009, the Bangles will be offering rare and personal items for auction through Bangl-e-Bay* in the Bangles 'N Mash online fan club. These are cash auctions, with all proceeds going directly to Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières!
