Michelle E. Hendley ~ Boy Meets Girl & Trailer
Boy Meets Girl is a tender, poignant, sexy, romantic coming of age romantic comedy about three twenty-somethings living in Kentucky: Robby, (Michael Welch) and his best friend since childhood, Ricky, a gorgeous transgender girl, have never dated. Lamenting the lack of eligible bachelors, Ricky finds herself attracted to a girl she meets in the coffee shop where she works. Francesca is a beautiful young debutante waiting for her Marine fiancé to return from the war. Ricky and Francesca strike up a friendship, and maybe a little more, which forces Robby to face his true feelings for Ricky. This is a sex/human positive modern fable and identification with its story and themes cross all gender and sexual orientation lines.

This Video Proves There’s No Right or Wrong Way to Be a Lady ~Starring the inimitable Stav Strashko
Over the last year or so, we've witnessed some significant strides when it comes to shattering the gender norms we've come to know all too well. Though amidst the triumphs — like the rise of the power suit on the red carpet, or gender-fluid clothing lines — there are still myriad moments that dial us back to old times, when pants were seen as "menswear only" and women were reduced to dressing "ladylike" (whatever that even means). We were reminded of all this just last week, when sexist posters surfaced at a high school in Jacksonville, Florida, prompting students to dress like "good girls" at prom, and casting shame upon dresses that showed off even the slightest bit of skin.
The bottom line is: Women have been policed for what they wear and how they behave in public since the beginning of modern society. But if we're going to continue to smash the patriarchy in 2017, then it's up to us "ladies" to not comply with the rules. With this in mind, check out our short tongue-in-cheek video, directed by Catherine Orchard and starring the inimitable Stav Strashko, who flawlessly shows that there's simply no right or wrong way to be a lady in this world.
