Birthday Project

To celebrate Kate’s upcoming 32nd birthday, Kate Winslet Fan has decided to launch a Birthday Project in honor of our English Rose!

Sadly, I’ve come up with the idea pretty late and since her birthday is next week, this is what I will do: you guys have until September 30 to send me e-mails with birthday messages to Kate. Poetry, fan art, letter, photographs are all welcome. I will make a CD with your messages and have it send out by mail to Kate on October 1st. Remember to be creative! :)

What you have to do: send your message (poetry, fan art, letter, photograph, etc.) to roberta@kate-winslet.net with your name, age and country, and the subject of the e-mail has to be “Birthday Project”. Deadline: Sunday, September 30, 2007.

Edit (September 26): So far I’ve received a fair amount of stuff, but I expect a lot more, so please people, spread the word about this project. This will reach Kate and she will most likely read all your messages, so let’s make this a big deal and show her that we really mean it! You guys can send pretty much anything you’ve done inspired by Kate: poetry, letters, birthday wishes, videos, paintings, etc.

Edit (September 29): Tomorrow is the deadline. If you still want to participate, be quick! :)

Forum warning – Inactive accounts

We are going through a major membership clean out.

If you have less than 10 posts in such period of time since you registered on the forums, please start posting or you are at risk of being deleted in the future clean-outs.

Also, please let us know if you are still interested in being a member of the forum (if your case is the above!). Remember that a member consists of reading AND posting messages, not just reading the topics.

We also ask you to read the Rules & Guidelines to posting. Do not spam or try to boost your post numbers. This will not be a place for people to try and reach a desired post number.

We are doing this not to be hard on you and make it difficult for everybody to interact with each other and have a good time. Actually, it’s exactly because of that that we decided to do this. Please understand that this will help keep the forum alive and active instead of full of people who register only to read and not participate.

Thank you,
The admins (Roberta and summerbreeze)

Yo Dona – June 30

I’d like to ask if anybody find or has ways to buy this magazine and send scans to the site, I’d really appreciate it because I can’t seem to find this magazine anywhere near where I live. It’s Yo Dona (June 30 issue), it’s part of El Mundo newspaper.
Thank you!

While I don’t have the scans, read the translated interview here.
