Thank You!

It's been two weeks since our first fundraiser and all of us at Such & Such are still amazed by the support we received that night. Thanks to all of you who came out and/or donated money or an auction item, and special thanks to our wonderful, willing (and HOT) bachelors, our emcee Ricky Paul, the Dumpsta Players (who put on a great show) and the staff at Tabu...all of you came together for a very memorable and successful event! From Brian, Jerry, Kelly, Michelle and Paul, a sincere and grateful thanks to you all!

We managed to raise half our film's budget that night...a great success, but we're still not there. This is NOT turning into yet another plea for your money (although we're still taking donations!)....we're just inviting you to ANOTHER fun night with us! Details are still being worked out, but our December fundraiser will not involve a hefty cover fee or auctions...but there will be copious drink specials and hot men in their underwear!! You'll want to bring your friends (the ones who like hot men in their underwear), so check back for details here VERY SOON!

Attention Project Runway Fans!

Are you ready for Saturday night at Tabu? Project Runway fans will want to check out our silent auction, because we're offering a set of fabulous PRW memorabilia, courtesy of fashion bloggers Tom and Lorenzo! Four books, including an autographed copy of Fashion Inside Out by Daniel Vosovic, an autographed Tim Gunn talking bobblehead, plus a t-shirt and five button pins designed by season 1 winner Jay McCarroll!

In Fashion Inside Out: Daniel V's Guide to How Style Happens from Inspiration to Runway and Beyond, Vosovic and industry insiders tell all, revealing how designers turn dreams into fashion.

Judge and fashion doyenne Nina Garcia's Little Black Book of Style is the ultimate guide to dressing your best, while season 4 champ Christian Siriano's Fierce Style teaches how to not be a tranny mess.

Gunn's Golden Rules: Life's Little Lessons for Making It Work sounds like an etiquette guide, but delivers the dish on Anna Wintour, Martha's daughter Alexis Stewart, and Season 8 contestant Gretchen Jones. His autographed bobblehead is equally outspoken: pull the string and Gunn barks "Make it work!"

All this plus this men's t-shirt and pins from Jay McCarroll! Get to Tabu at 7, grab a drink at the open bar, and place your bids!

Silent Auction: Art

Looking for something unique to adorn your walls? Come to our October 2nd fundraiser at Tabu, grab a drink at the open bar, and check out our silent auction offerings. Several local artists have already donated their work to help support our film!

Rooster and Hen Silhouettes - Eric N. Fausnacht

You may have seen Eric N. Fausnacht's work at local galleries or online. His Fowl Images are acrylic and oil portraits of roosters and chickens--domestic beauties that will brighten any homestead. This set of rooster and hen silhouettes on a richly textured background (20x16" each) are being auctioned together.

Betty White - Kevin Ardinger

Massachusetts native Kevin Ardinger has made Philadelphia his home since graduating from Philadelphia University 10 years ago. Architect by day, design student by night, Kevin still finds time to paint for family, friends and leisure. His acrylic portrait of the last living Golden Girl is colorful and saturated with charm, much like its subject!

Two Mixed Media Offerings - Tom Fitzgerald

Tom Fitzgerald (father of Regrets producer Paul Fitzgerald) has been drawing and painting on and off for most of his adult life. Now retired, he has resumed his artistic expression with renewed fervor, and has recently explored mixed media works. These two pieces, utilizing acrylic, watercolors, textiles and photos, are being auctioned separately. Both are matted and framed.

The Movie

So by now you're probably wondering what this Regrets flick is all about. Well, it's about a guy who wakes up somewhere he shouldn't. It's also about a few thousand dollars over budget right now, and we haven't even started casting.

OK, lets back up. A few months ago, Michelle Pollino and Paul Fitzgerald got together over a couple of beers and started talking about making a movie, and before long we enlisted friends Kelly Burkhardt, Brian Gannon and Jerry Palovick as equal partners. We knew we could only afford to do a short, and we wanted something with a gay male theme, so we placed some ads looking for screenplays. Regrets, by screenwriter Rob Williams, was an immediate attention grabber; tense and creepy, the kind of story that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. We knew we had to make this film...now we just need to finance it!

Oh, we won't make a blatant, discomforting plea for your money. Yet. We've already made half our budget with an October fundraiser, and we're planning a second one for this December! We'll have announcements on all the details shortly, so please keep checking back, here and on Facebook...and don't forget you can make a donation anytime!
