The Two Sallys edit at the Kapisanan Philippine Centre for Arts and Culture |
Sally began with an
ending. I was in the middle of mourning a breakup and as a typical artist and
conduit to all that is painful and bizarre, I decided to make online dating a
sport. I was going to randomly choose numerous different people to date on
Friday and Saturday nights just to occupy my time and to see what kind of weirdos
I could accumulate.
I hit a goldmine. It
was like the opening credits of the Beverley Hillbillies, only instead of some
stereotypical old lady dancing around Texas Tea, I was a queer coloured chick
looking for the exit sign while sitting opposite some head case.
I would share my
unbelievable stories with friends who would listen to me, slack-jawed wondering
how on earth could the internet be such a tool for destruction. Almost every
friend suggested I write about it because my experiences were so unbelievably embarrassing
that I had to make it public.
Meet, “When Sally Met
Sally” an online video collection of queer dating disasters.
The rules are:
*Each episode features
the same queer people playing numerous different “Sallys” in numerous different
dating disasters.
*Each episode is
based on true stories submitted by our viewership.
*Each episode is
improvised, usually shot in one take and is around 2 minutes long.
