Hi cheryl it seems that I am not listed here as an admistrator and so I am not sure how to add comments fully on the class blog page.
anyway, my name is panpan
my email is panpan@ucla.edu
i am also on facebook under Panpan Narkprasert, long last name because im thai.
I am a 3rd year art student at ucla and most of my art involves a strong gay sensabillity where I used my experiences to fuel my artistic pratices. My concentration is drawing and sculpture. Im currently working on a ceramics piece that deals with gay sexuality and would love to put it on facebook once it is done.
I recently watched Paris is Burning and thought the idea of having the ball as a place for an escape from the real world was beautiful and sad at the same time that they are limited to express themselves only at a specific place and not just anywhere. It reminded me alot of America's Next Top Model, the way the they worked it!
Sup class
Call me Mr. Tibbs, no my name is Steven I am probably the youngest salt and pepper moustache man in the class, but don’t I look Fantabulous…lol. I decided four years to go back to school and finally transferred to UCLA as a junior. My major is Sociology and I guess I wanna help folk who have lots of money…LOL. No, I really want to use my experience and skills to encourage our youth to continue their education. With staggering drop out rates above 45% it is important to me to challenge the youth of tomorrow. I started a non profit several years ago that targets troubled youth. I form celebrity and professional panels that go into the inner city schools and speak to teens. I have been blessed to have participation from people like Edward J. Olmos, Regina King, Tichina Arnold, Ray Santiago, Tiny Lestor and executive director of the California African American Museum, Charmaine Jefferson to speak on diverse panels.
I am a movie buff and enjoy all types of cinema and especially a great dramatic story. I try to support the independence film festivals like Outfest and the African American Film Festival. Last year I had the responsibility of promoting American Gangster for Universal Pictures at NABJ (National Association for Black Journalist). I am looking forward to learning more about Queer cinema.
Greetings Everyone,
My name is Ann Chau. I can be contacted at achau22@ucla.edu. You can track me down on Facebook.
I am majoring in Asian American Studies and minoring in Public Affairs. My final quarter is bittersweet since the job market does not look well. My time here is short because I transfered from Long Beach City College two years ago.
I bet you are wondering why I am in this class. To make a long story short, my Asian American Women class does not count toward my major requirement for Gender/Sexuality because it had to be a class outside of my major. So I had to find an open class in Women's Studies or LGBT.
I am taking this class because I wanted to watch films =)
This will be my first exposure to Queer films. I must admit I have never watched Broke Back Mountain before or Queer Eyes for the Straight Guys. I am interested in learning about how the presence of queers in the media have changed with the advent of technology, like Youtube =)
