Quick Update: PIGLFF Sat & Charlie Mac Celebrity Weekend

Just a quick update, I will go into further detail when I have a chance, but here goes: I haven't been this crazed chasing celebrities, up and coming celebrities, is so hot they should be a celebrity or in their heads their a celebrity since Fashion Week Spring 2007. Here we go lots happening in Phillywood this week with the Philadelphia LGBT Film Festival in town. First of thanks to TLA and to BUCKmonkey.net for giving me all access, and to Patrick McHugh and Gail Kamenish for their assistance in helping me cature the shots I need that to get the story to you. (Also this week I will be a cross branding of my local philly gossip/news/chatter site http://www.phillychitchat.com/ so if you check that site you may see similar stories, but different photos and if you were at the Festival, don't forget to download your photo FOR FREE at http://www.buckmonkey.net/ click on "Did I Take Your Photo?" SO far all I have is Thursday up there. OK Friday events are over, but I was glad my boyfriend (happy 13 years on Monday, and our two friends Michael and Phil hung out with us.), Saturday has been full already, and I only have 30 minutes to write this as I have somewhere I need to be. I got out today at 11AM to try and catch Queen Latifah, Monique, Terrance Howard and others at the Youth Correctional Center for the Mothers in Charge and against Violence lectures. (Jasmine Wallace killed in 1986, and now listed as a Cold Case. Her family, especially her mother misses her dearly)It was supposed to start at 11AM, but they got there early and it was easy to adjust the schedule for them as they had a captive audience. I got there in time to here Queen Latifah address the kids, but listen was all I could do as they wouldn't let me in. They security guard was kind enough to tell me where the parties would be tonight, so in between RuPaul and www.charliedavid.com/ (This years winner of the Rising Star Award Charlie David of Dante's Cove, the gay serial)I will try and capture the Queen. After leaving the Youth Center I went to the Prince Theater to honor Gay & Lesbian Civil Rights Advocate the late Barbara Gittings and her 40year partner, Kay Tobin. The PIGLFF donated $1,000 to the Barbara Gittings Gay and Lesbian Collection at the Phila Library. I then ran up to the press conference for the Charlie Mac Celebrity Weekend and Caught Mo'Nique leaving. At first her security did not want me to shoot her, but she said "C'mon Sweetheart, I would love to pose for you." This paparazzi literally melted 'cause I just loved me so Mo'Nique, especially when she was Saturday Night at the Apollo!!I just found out the NYC Hairspray premiere is next week. Does anyone want to know where it is leave me a comment and I will send the info to you. OK that took more than 30 minutes, now I am running late. One confessions is that I am going to a fancy party, but I really don't want to put on a damn suit, the sun is out, but seeing that Charlie David looks snazzy guess I am going to have to do it.
