Friend/fan Michael says I look like L’Lihdra from the Sugar Shock comic. I do like her style! If MySpace weren’t such a complete piece of crap site, I’d provide the direct link to the free comic book online. You can find it in most search engines.

East at night through 2nd Street tunnel. This is used in a lot of films. Part of my series on LA taken from cars.

He writes, “The film is about a black South Central LA girl who is verbally and physically abused by her cheating boyfriend. Upon discovering that she’s pregnant, she has to choose whether to keep or abort her unborn child. In contrast, her best friend, an openly gay Latino male, is in a well-grounded, long-term relationship based on trust, love and respect. This film is deeply rooted in real issues. About the character: MAGGIE, mid-20s, is an openly gay Latino male who strongly identifies with being a woman. She doesn’t care what people think of her and she demands respect. The film will be roughly twenty-seven minutes long, it will be shot over the course of six days and the actor who plays Maggie will be needed for three days. Unfortunately, there’s no pay. Should you have any questions, feel free to email or call me at 310.994.2700.”

The film stars Calpernia Addams as Ava, Andrea James as Joyce, and Joel Lambert as Mike. “Transproofed” explores the controversy of when (or whether) to come out as transgender in a romantic relationship. Ava’s showgirl friends are all openly transgender, but like many trans women, Ava dreams of living a quiet life where her trans status is not an issue. Ava’s friend Joyce urges her to go “stealth,” slang for not divulging one’s trans status. Joyce urges Ava to follow her example: to tone down her look and to get her place “transproofed,” slang for hiding any evidence that one is trans. As Joyce pushes Ava to hide more and more of her past and her identity, Ava begins to wonder if it’s worth it.
