Sarah McDougall is one half of the two-person Slutty Ladies Garden Party show during the Dunedin Fringe Festival. 

McDougall and Elsa May give audiences the who, what, how and why of slutdom in this new R16 comedy show laced with an an anti-mediocre, unexposed vein of feminism.

Slutty Ladies is being performed in the sculpture garden of the McDougalls' Broad Bay property on Otago Peninsula.

What was the best birthday present you ever received, and why?

It was a compact mirror with a Toulouse-Lautrec woman on it, given to me by my son Paul who said `It cost me a lot of money, Mum'. I still use it. With it was a card from my other son William, full of hearts and expressions of love.

What smell do you find irresistible?
My husband's armpit.

What is your least favourite thing about humanity?
Dehumanising bullies who are so detached from ordinary people that they care not about poisoning workers with evil chemicals; rotten slave-making working conditions; land grabs; starvation-making pollution; money-greedy, making fences, them and us, which end in wars that always kill women, children and the old. All the ''ists''.

What is one strong childhood memory?
Running on the grass with my long hair, telling myself I'm free.

What is your message?
Be kind, be fair, be just, because we are all equal doing our best with what we have.
