Hail to the queens of the backstage!

present



Written and Directed by Charliebebs Gohetia

TYG is a Visayan film with a gay lingo twist.

Tired of losing in all the beauty competitions in Davao City, five dysfunctional gay beauty pageant veterans decide to travel north to Cagayan de Oro City, in the island of Mindanao, with a mission to conquer the grandest competition of beauty, personality and brains in the province.

They believe that being city dwellers, gays in the province will never stand a chance against them.

And who says gay films are just sex films after all?

Catch the premiere night of the gayest film of all, THE 'THANK YOU' GIRLS on August 28, 2008 at the UP Cine Adarna (formerly UP Film Center), 6:30 pm.

Tickets at P100.00

Y'all a Neil Gaiman fan?

Well, I am. It started when my cousin ate Mai introduced me to the Sandman through a book with a collection of quotes from this beloved series - and one of the greatest graphic novels of all time. Then I sought the Sandman and found him (first, thru mikey, the rest - thru pam). Just got to finish the whole series last week. In between reading the Sandman, I also read (in this order) Stardust, Neverwhere, American Gods, Coraline and Anansi Boys. And yes, the story had to end. And what a way to end it. Lord Morpheus, a.k.a. Dream is one very interesting character - though not necessarily the most lovable (I think the popular choice is usually Death, and then Delirium). The way he sticks to his responsibility is something I can relate to, so I do side with him sometimes, just not during the extreme cases. Case in point, banishing your beloved to hell just because she refused your love. Ah well, this merits a longer post and a lot more thinking. I'm posting this because there's a contest!

I. Love. Neil. Gaiman.
