Update #4 · May 25, 2012 · 1 comment

Greetings True Believers, 

Two things hit me while at the gym today.

1. I am in desperate need of a creative outlet these days. I think the marketing and knowledge of the kickstarter is out there enough that it is time I can scale back on raising awareness and focus on what I do best...the art. Starting this holiday weekend I will begin sketching out the costumes and fleshing out the concepts for each character. They will be my first artistic incentive to these email updates starting next week so be on the look out. One or two things will have to be kept under wraps until I can copyright what I am doing for particular costumes, but it is worth the wait. I think that is where my frustration has been the last couple of days and I am excited that regardless of budget these character concepts will be fleshed out. 

I've never shared the list on here of the characters that will be portrayed in this particular show so here you go...these are the ones signed up based on initial discussions and agreements.

2. The parameters of the show have changed slightly. It is not all full on cross dressing and drag. I'm leaving room to explore this genre as much as possible by allowing camp, true drag and also metro high fashion males wearing female clothing and vice versa. I can visualize it better that way if it is completely across the board. Honestly that has also to do that I have always had a self portrait in everyone of my show and I know I would not completely work as a woman. Bending the rules a bit, but I am allowed to. 

Thank you again for your support and regardless if this kickstarter is successful or not I will be updating this throughout the entire shooting process because you have believed in me and what I am trying to do.

Enjoy the weekend.

-Philip Bonneau

      I think this is really going to be very interesting. Well of course it is already interesting... That's why I'm one of your backers!
      I like the idea that you will go deeper in the exploration by changing the parameters: bending rules is GOOD!
      I hope you've been creating a lot this week end while I've been spreading your message. BTW got your project 2 more believers. And... I'm hoping for more next week. That's my new part time job ;)
      So GO CREATE Philip!
