Rachel has to choose between her husband and Luce (played by Lena

for the first time on her wedding day at the church.
Based on a novel by Helen Cross, My Summer of Love tells the story of
two 16-year-old girls’ brief but blazing relationship in the English
countryside. “If you leave me, I’ll kill you,” the pair swears to each
other. It won the Alexander Korda Award for Best British Film at the
British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards 2005. Natalie
Press, was named British Newcomer of the Year at the 2004 London Film
Critics Awards for her role as Mona, a working-class lass living with
her ex-con brother (Paddy Considine) above a dreary pub that they
inherited from their parents. She meets Tamsin (Emily Blunt who is
recently seen in The Devil Wears Prada), a sultry beauty who was
suspended from boarding-school for being a “bad influence.” The Los
Angeles Times called it “a most provocative love story, about two
people who will never forget each other, but not for anything like the
reasons they initially imagine.”
The double-bill Charity Premiere will benefit of the Association of
Women for Action and Research (AWARE) and Cat Welfare Society (CWS).
Fifty percent of proceeds will go to AWARE for its support, research
and educational programmes and the rest to Cat Welfare Society.
AWARE is a voluntary organisation that has been promoting equal rights
for women in Singapore since 1985 and works to empower women through
positive social change.
Corinna Lim Honorary Secretary of Aware said, “AWARE is delighted to
work with Fridae in the screening of the premiere of Imagine You and
Me, a bittersweet romantic comedy which, while it entertains, raises
questions about the meaning of marriage, gender, and love in its
different forms. AWARE supports each individual’s right to be the best
that she or he can be, regardless of race, sex, religion and
sexuality.”
The organisation also runs a Helpline at 1800 774 5935 between 3pm to
10pm on all working days as well as other services such as a Legal
Clinic, Counselling and a Befrienders service. AWARE reaches out to
about three thousand women every year through all the different
services.
The Cat Welfare Society is a non-profit organisation, run entirely by
volunteers to improve the welfare of stray cats in Singapore. It was
started in July 1999 by a group of friends in response to a publicised
incident where five kittens were reported to have been burned alive in
a box.
Dawn Kua, CWS’ director of operations said: “We thank Fridae for
hosting this charity premiere for Cat Welfare Society and AWARE. It’s
a fantastic effort by Fridae to integrate our community together in
our bid for a gracious Singapore.”
Today, the group aims to encourage people to help out with a
Trap-Neuter-Return-Manage (TNRM) programme, whereby cats are
sterilised and put back into the communities they come from where they
are managed by residents who live there. This ensures that the cat
population is managed and does not continue to grow, and is also a
means by which residents help other residents in their estate by
dealing with any cat related complaints they might have. Proceeds will
fund sterilisation, educational material about the TNRM programme and
adoption programmes.
In related news, at least 20 felines have been found brutally
slaughtered and some with their throats slit in bushes and drains in
the past two weeks. The CWS and the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals have set up a joint reward of S$2,000 (US$1,277)
for anyone who can help arrest the culprit.

Dear Two Queeners,
Me & a colleague recently went down to Phuket for w@nation recce. Part of our trip was to visit Child-Watch Phuket, the orphanage we will be visiting on 23rd Oct, 2 to 5pm. Attached is a little of what they left we us while we were there, and what we hope to do during w@nation, to add a little sunshine to their lives. Child-Watch is run by a group of volunteers who gets a little help from strangers along the way, hence the development of a home to house the orphans, a school to teach the kids basic education, and a website to help Child-Watch Phuket gain awareness on a global level. What they lack though is continuing support to provide necessities (Books, Pens, Clothes, Milk) to provide for the children on a daily level, and most importantly, funds to eventually send these kids who are ready to enter primary education.
For our 3rd Oct Two Queens, we will be jumping in with a Child-Watch Phuket fundraiser party. If you’re not traveling to w@nation with us, you may take this opportunity to contribute a little on your end. We will be holding various fundraising activities from 9pm onwards to add a little festival feel to Thumper.
For more info on Child-Watch Phuket, do log on www.phuket.com/child-watch If you are interesting in sponsoring a child’s education on a long-term level, do talk to us at the Oct Two Queens Party.
Cheers,
Wendy

The guys and girls from Singapore’s first coming out book, “SQ21 - Singapore Queers in the 21st Century” (http://www.yawningbread.org/arch_2006/yax-641.htm) will be doing a launch at Borders this coming Saturday afternoon.
They will be sharing and reading some of their stories. As you can imagine this is going to be pretty public and is a courageous step for them. So please do come and support them - it will mean a lot to them. One of the people reading that afternoon will be Hoon Eng who is a mother of two gay sons - so if you know any family or friends who need to hear her story do bring them along.
The books will definitely be available for sale at Borders. The details of the launch are:
