And the Winner Is....
Well, first of all, thanks to our three lovely contestants Kerry, Dori and Tracy for their fine contributions. I enjoyed all of them and frankly found it difficult to pick a winner for the competition. But pick I must and I have chosen Dori's entry to be featured here today. Dori receives a luxury holiday for two to Jamaica. Urm. Nope. That's a different competition. Dori receives a Tarot reading using a spread of her choice! Well done Dori!
To show what a nice person I am (and because it was so damn difficult to choose a winner!) both Kerry and Tracy will receive a 'past, present and future' reading from me as runners up.
Without further ado, I present Dori's Entry:
Callie is a butch diesel dyke who desperately wants to fem herself up a bit. She enlists the help of Wally/Wanda, a pre-op trans-sexual who volunteers with her at the HIV clinic on weekends. While shopping for pink frilly dresses together, they meet Bo – who does voice over work on Sponge Bob Square Pants and is too scared to come out of the closet to his Mormon family.
As these three misfits of society become fast friends, another crisis is looming. The mayor of their small town is on a mission to convert the local PFLAG office into a Centre for the Rehabilitation of LesbiGay Rejects.
Can Callie, Bo and Wally/Wanda save the town from religious and social domination before the stores close or all the fem clothes are sold out?
Will Bo's cartoon career take off and will his parents ever stop being Mormons?
Will Wally successfully become Wanda?
Will Callie and Wanda fall in love and adopt 12 stray cats and a Nigerian orphan?
Only time will tell…
And, at Dori's request, here are the other two entries!
From Tracy:
Coming out, and divorcing her husband, Whitney is exiled from her church congregation, so together the two lovers flee from their small homophobic birth town and Whitney's conservative family to start their new life in the city of New York.
Enthralled with each other, Joanne and Whitney decide to celebrate their love by marrying, both longing to adopt children and have a family they can call their own. But as they search for an establishment willing to legitimize their relationship, they discover that their love for one another is not good enough when the laws of world do not recognize their unlikely union.
Joanne, struggling to cope with the intolerance of the world and having already tasted the cruelty of a bigoted society, steeps into a dark depression while Whitney fearing her lover will commit suicide solicits the comedic assistance of Sponge Bob Square Pants to lighten her lovers' mood. Does she succeed and will these lovers eventually find peace and acceptance?
This touching, sex filled drama proves that love will triumph over any possibility of the imagination and will leave straight narrow-minded audiences feeling less like competent human beings and more like the spineless hypocrites that they are.
Kerry's Entry:
It was a dark and stormy night, and Abby and Libby arrived at their motel seconds before an almighty storm broke the heavens. Their secret tryst weekend, away from Abby's abusive husband and Libby's son, suffering from AIDS, was the first time that they'd managed to
get away to confront the cataclysmic realisation that had dawned on them as they worked side by side at the school bake sale. The realisation that they lusted after one another's cellulite loaded, wrinkle ridden bodies, because nothing else mattered - nothing mattered at all except their desire to satisfy one another.
Abby and Libby had not bargained for all that their accommodation at the Bates Motel offered. The mother and son who managed the accommodation were barely distinguishable from another, and Libby was particularly concerned that the shredded shower curtain was not in
fact a modernist statement, as Abby thought it was. The gardener, Freddie Kruger, was also a cause for alarm, as he was never without his sharp garden clippers. But the couple is determined to enjoy a weekend of passion no matter what comes their way.
Watch as they overcome obstacles, circumvent bizarre events and work their way towards realising the true depth of
their relationship, while desperately avoiding the attentions of an unwelcome visitor - the lady in the red Ferrari.
Ooh yay I won I won! ;>
