hello yall!

my name is panpan. I am a 3rd year international art student at ucla. 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. if anyone is interested they can see my work on facebook albums under artness!

Im currently working on a ceramics piece that deals with gay sexuality and culture and would love to put it on facebook once it is done.

i am also on facebook under Pan pan Narkprasert, long last name because im thai and half taiwanese. my email is panpan@ucla.edu

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 yet 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!

I also loveed the musical wicked and saw it twice in the last 2 months, both times i was lucky and got the lottery ticket. my favorite queer film is beautiful thing 1995 by hettie macdonald, the film was so impactful and relatable to my own gayhood, coming out and all.

i took lgbt137 and women studies 136 and loved it so i wanted to further my interest in queer studies by taking this class. overall, i am quite new to queer films besides from mainstream queer films and so i am excited to expeirience more films of this genre.

haha

Hi guys! My name is Celeste. I am a 21 year old Mexican American. I am a junior transfer here at UCLA. My major is philosophy. I love school! :) My sexual orientation is straight and I am currently engaged to a wonderful man named Jake. We are currently enduring a long distance relationship so that I could fulfill my dream in coming to UCLA with an opportunity to better our lives together. We're very happy and have a dog named Lennon (as in John). I work at Chilis in Westwood as a server, come say HI! I love watching football, playing soccer (I played soccer for my junior college), and going snowboarding. I do not have an exact reason why I am interested in queer cinema, I just find it really interesting. I very much support queers and I'd like to learn more about queer life. I am very excited about this class, I really look forward to this quarter, as well as getting to know all of you!
-peace&love, Celeste

Hello!

Hello! Here are some boring facts about me.

-Name: Julie
-Grade: 17th grade (5th yr)
-Major: Asian American Studies Major w/ Minor in Film & Television
-started out as a Jazz Vocal Major (2years), then changed to English (1 year), then finally to my current major
-Sexual Orientation: straight
-I have a big interest and love for the queer community because i attended an arts high school called LACHSA (LA county H.S. for the Arts) and i would have to say that a large percentage of the people at my H.S. were gay/lesbian. In fact, all the guys i had a crush on freshman year came out of the closet by senior year. The straights were a minority at this school.
- i was in a Josh Groban music video my junior year of H.S. or maybe it was senior year... i cant remember.
-Favorite Bands/Artists: there are many but right now i'm currently most infatuated with Jenny Lewis, Rilo Kiley, Sigur Ros, Tegan & Sara, Conor Oberst, and the musical "Wicked".
-i have this strange love for the film "Gattica". i have no clue why. i dont like sci-fi but i love this film. it might be because of Jude Law.

i guess thats about it.
Good bye!
