No H8: round 2

Sweet  Aug 15

Gloria Bigelow

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).

How to watch our commercial

Sweet  Jun 2

Natalie Garcia from Nat and Meg's Sweet Adventures

Step one: Watch Sweet’s new commercials before your friends see them on “Gimme Sugar!”

Step two: Brag about how you saw them first. Wag your finger or tongue for emphasis. Throw in a little “nanny nanny billy goat,” if you’re good at dodging flying objects.

Step three: Write on Suzanne’s Facebook wall telling her how amazing she looks in the commercial.

Step four: Look in the mirror, look deep into your eyes and say, “I love me. I deserve a fantastic lesbian vacation.” Repeat three times. Brush your teeth. Softly! Your teeth are your friends.

Step five: Call Flavia at 877-793-3830. She’ll gently guide you through the rest.
