No H8: round 2

Sweet  Aug 15

1030 470x470 No H8: round 2

Hate sux. That’s the whole point of Adam Bouska and Jeff Parshley’s fab No H8 campaign. The photographic campaign grew out of the passage of Proposition 8 in California. The duct tape represents the silencing of lesbian, gay and allies voices. It’s a fantastic grassroots campaign. Please check it out.

Sweet, our special guests and artists were thrilled at the opportunity to participate. Pictured: Meghan Hall and Natalie Garcia (of AfterEllen’s Nat & Meg’s Sweet Adventures), Gloria Bigelow (co-host of AfterEllen’s CherryBomb and Sweet artist), Patricia Melone (from Sweet’s commercial and our print ads), DeeAnn Quinones (from Sweet’s commercial), Leyla Farah and Rebecca Heaps (Sweet’s awesome PR duo from Cause + Effect Public Relations), Cathy DeBuono (actress and Sweet special guest) and Jill Bennett (actress and Sweet special guest).

And Then Came Lola

Sweet  Aug 2

Lola 470x678 And Then Came Lola

In this sexy, lesbian romp, a talented, but distracted photographer, Lola, on the verge of success in both love and work, could lose it all if she doesn’t make it to a crucial meeting on time. But, as usual, Lola is late.

With her job and girlfriend on the line, she has three chances to make it right. In a desperate race through the streets and backrooms of San Francisco, time grows short–will Lola make it? Will she come at all?

With a pop sensibility that mixes live action, animation and still photography AND THEN CAME LOLA explores love’s age old question in a fresh new way; “If we try, try again, will we finally get it right?”

Stars: Ashleigh Sumner as Lola; Cathy DeBuono as Danielle; and Jill Bennett as Casey.

Film Premiere on board the Sweet Caribbean Cruise, Nov. 9 from 7.30-9.30pm. With director Megan Siler and stars Jill Bennett and Cathy DeBuono in the Stardust Theatre. Film followed by Q&A.
