Real L Word #104 Recap: Gambling with Love & Lesbian Sex

riese

Posted by

Tea for Two

Tracy's job's gotten stressful, she's over it & ready to join the Cullens in Vampire-dom forever. Or else be a real estate agent. Stamie doesn't want to pull a Freaky Friday, butttt....

Tracy: I think I could sell a house.
Stamie: You could definitely sell a house.

Laneia: I think she could sell ice to eskimos etc
Riese: I'd buy what she's selling.

IT'S THE EYE OF THE TIGER

Whitney's finally having her long-awaited "training session" with Miranda, the maybe-straight girl she wants to bang, not to be confused with the other girls Whitney wants to date, even though Miranda looks, predictably, just like the other three.

Whitney: I feel like hitting on her is basically masturbating at this point.

+

Laneia: I want to barf on Whitney's knees.
Riese: At least she's admitting that everything she says/does is basically masturbating.

+

This scene is better with the sound off. I've captioned it for you to prove my point, no noise necessary:

+

Laneia: Good fucking jesus. She can't even EXERCISE w/out hitting on someone.
Riese: I read in Cosmo in the 90's that you shouldn't flirt with your trainer.

+

Whitney invites Miranda to come see her friend's band play, withholding the "it's a lezbo party" info. I'm sure Miranda will catch on right fast when three girls start sucking Whitney's face off the moment they all arrive.


+

Early Bird Special

Raquel gets into the MAGIC SUITE and creams all over herself and the Enchanted Pool Table, which inspires the couple to ignite a firey Egyptian game of Strip Pool. Luckily Raquel's got a ton of accessories, so she won't be getting naked any time soon:

I'm still upset that nobody has checked out Bodies: The Exhibition. You go all the way to The Luxor and don't even go to the museum?!!

+

Laneia: "And see, when I saw the pool table, I instantly knew that we should BE MARRIED!"
Riese: Can everyone just quit it with the bras?

+

The Bras Are Off!

Papi's Rules of Strip Poker include "don't be the girl with the bra on your head." MIKEYYYY!

+

Riese: OH NO! Oh no!
Laneia: Well now I want to die. Right now.
Riese: WELLL HERE I AM SUICIDAL AND SHIT
Laneia: NOW
Riese: This show is like the reality tv show adapdation of The Well of Loneliness. Different plot, same ending.

+

+

The point of this scene is that gay people don't need marriage to be happy and take off their bras after all, just like William Tan said. Or else there is no point to this scene, which is impossible as Ilene Chaiken is basically our generation's Picasso.

Raquel DOES NOT EVEN CARE WHO'S IN THE ROOM, that's how Girls Gone Wild that pool table makes her feel! Shanna wanders in (the girl's gotta plug in her Dell) and basically thinks Mikey is crazy but she's mad to live, mad to love, etc:

This is Sooooo Much Better Than Working at the Banana Stand Again

In their interviews, Raquel and Mikey talk as if they're narrating a children's book in the middle of a crowded mall. They retire to a bubble bath, which has been prepared for them by Casper the Friendly Ghost and his Magical Elves:

Whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, you crazy cats!

Alex: But I don't get it... how do two girls have sex? I mean like... what do they DO?

Like this?


Or Like This?

We'll NEVER EVER KNOW.

Five Dollar Footlongs

Rose gets stressed out about work while Natalie drinks serenely from her Whip it! mug and ponders her future over a sandwich. Although Rose needs an assistant she doesn't want Natalie to work for her. It's a bad idea. But also, she's desperate and Natalie is tired of hair. Aren't we all.

Natalie Using Sign Language to Discuss Lesbian Sex

Natalie vetoes the "become Rose's assistant" idea ultimately because Rose needs an assistant who sees her future making Rose's photocopies, not somebody who sees their future making Rose's babies. Plus, Rose already dominates just fine as is.

+

Riese: Oh my Gawd, Rose is so AG this ep. I like her so much better!
Laneia: BITCH BRING ME TWO PLATES AND A CUP! I fucking love it.

+

Like This Whole "Computer Being Serious" Thing? Not My Scene

+
Laneia: I think I get Rose more. Like, I GET her.
Riese: Me too.
Laneia: She needs a sandwich. and help. MUCH LIKE US.
Riese: And when she drinks it's because she's stressed and just needs to vent, and when she yells it's 'cause she needs to yell at something? Which isn't "okay," but still. i get it.
Laneia: I GET ROSE. I can't believe this. Am I high?
Riese: I am high for real, that might be why I get Rose.  Regardless, I'll never watch this show sober. It's like a 3-d movie without the glasses, it's not the same show.
Laneia: Yes I relate to this feeling.

Rose agrees:

Oh this is how Rose does lesbian sex btw. She didn't say that, but we could hear her. She's much easier to handle in sweatpants. Otherwise she's just another loud girl with GIANT EARRINGS.

Mhm.

Shiny Shiny Hair

Nikki & Jill have a crisis -- they called the Wedding Planner and asked if she'd consider lowering her fee, then felt bad about it and then had to call the Wedding Planner back to apologize.  There were email drafts involved:

Nikki says that she's getting a $10,000 Nirvana package. That's what she said!

+

Riese: If  I wanted to talk about weddings I'd watch Oxygen, not the Gay Show. I thought we couldn't have weddings.
Alex: I cant wait to find out how much the whole wedding's gonna cost, especially since it's not even fucking legal.
Riese:: I want my wedding's theme to be "Nirvana" too, we'll listen to Smells Like Teen Spirit, wear flannel, and kill ourselves at the end.
Alexandra: This one time my cousin was married for two years. his wedding cost $35 K.
Laneia: COUGH::
Riese: I am going to marry someone in a field, the theme will be "Wedding in a Field."
Laneia: Riese! Gazebo!
Riese: Gazebo! Sorry babe.

Stand Up Stand Up Stand Up For Your Rights

Stamie has noticed that Tracy is skinny naturally and beautiful and should be in pictures, so she's invited some Pretty People Agents to her comedy show to meet Tracy. Tracy's totally up for it because she thinks it'll be a challenge. Like A TOP MODEL CHALLENGE! God I could go for some Tyra Mail right now.

Yup, I'm Adorable, You Can't Help It

Everyone loves Tracy, obviously, and she is destined for the big screen I can already see her name in lights. In the meantime, Stamie's stand-up was a hit and a half!

Whitney meets up with her trainer to go to aforementioned girl party and SURPRISE Romi and Tor are there too! How will Whitney be able to tell the difference between all of them after a few Tequila shots?

It Tastes the Same (If You Close Your Eyes)

Eh, Whit don't care, she's too excited by how hot Miranda is, moreso when she learns that Miranda is bisexual (in Ilene Chaiken's world means "psychotic lesbian, watch out").

But lest this party really get started, Whitney spots Romi across the bar giving her a look. You know. THAT LOOK:

THIS LOOK:

So then Whitney has to leave Miranda the Trainer and go handle her bitches, which makes me want to do this to that photo:

Whitney says that Romi created the situation, an assessment that Romi contests. Whitney says Romi's just trying to get attention and be dramatic. There is no possible way for this to go well, so I wish Romi would just take her shirt off again. She does not.

Laneia: Know who didn't create this??? FUCKING ROMI, YOU TWAT! I would like to step on Whitney's hair --- YES ROMI!!
Riese: Why does she still have that feather in her ear? Is this another Native appropriation thing?

Listen, if I Kiss You, I Might End Up Eating Your Blood, Which Would Be Gross

This little snafu either takes up the entire trip out, or I hit my head on something and forgot the rest. We jump to the car ride home, where Whitney wants to vent but Tor says at the end of the day (which it is), she's got no sympathy for Whit and suggests she make her own bed and lie in it. Making your bed = always a good idea. Everyone has to grow up eventually.

+

Riese: I want people to yell at each other, because I'm bored.
Laneia: TELL HER OFF, TOR!

+

Whitney's like, "It's not me, it's Romi, she is dramatic. All the world's a stage, obvs. Get with it."

The GPS Just said 'Recalculating' as a Joke


+

Talk to Elvis

Raquel and Mikey are in bed, being cute. I don't know how this happened, but it's happening, they're being sorta cute. Mikey says something gross at the end, but if you scream loud enough you can't hear a thing.

If you like it then you gotta put a giant ring on it.

+

Riese: Her ring is bigger than this show has made my brain
Laneia: That's an Edward Cullen ring!

+

"It's a very intense connection that we have," Raquel tells us about her and The Mikester. But we already knew. We saw the Buddha. We know there are always deeply important things happening beneath the surface here, on this wonderful show. It's like snorkeling!! Or Deep Sea Power-of-the-Clam Driving!

But with cute dogs:

Oh by the way, I think all of these scenes count as lesbian sex. Also want to see the lesbian sex flowchart again? Here it is.

    I cannot speak because I lol-ed too hard.
    Seriously, watching this episode was painful on so many levels, so called lesbians trying to explain what lesbian sex is and what IS considered as sex in a very hetero-normal way, was just a disgrace…
    Thank God for your recaps :D
    This show is just fake and unreal, it’s completely alien to me.
    Now I’m just hoping that the BBC will release their damn British L word-like show, “Lip Service” so that we have a proper portrayal of lesbians on TV :D Oh hell, bring back Callie and Arizona for an extra summer spin off of Grey’s Anatomy, whatever!

    Until the last season, I pretty much loved “The L Word” even though the characters were not like any lesbians I have ever known in my entire life.

    For that same reason, I find “The Real L Word” very unreal. I am not a big fan of realty shows, most of them seem contrived to me, so I may not be the best to even make a statement about this new creation from Ilene Chaiken.

    My partner and I write coming out books for lesbians, bisexual and questioning women, and we have a support group with over 950 members. Some of our members like the show, and some don’t like it at all. This quote seems to be the consensus of the members who don’t like the show:

    “I don’t want to be a lesbian like any of those women…I don’t want to be associated with any of them…”

    I was really hoping that this would not be the case, as our group has discussions about current events, news and movies that concern the LGBT community quite a bit. I was looking forward to them being able to see a good reality show about real lesbian life, and the discussions that would follow each week.

    Maybe “The Real L Word” will grow on our members who don’t like it, but sadly most were so turned off the first couple of episodes, that they are not giving it a chance to do so. They are still watching “The L Word” on DVD though…

    ok, now that I’m done with page one (I’ll finish reading later), I just gotta say queerfolk,

    If you eat out a girl without a dam, you could get HPV in your throat which can lead to THROAT CANCER. So no fuck you to Whitney, miz “Oral sex exchange” is not “full sex.”

    My general rule of thumb is that if you’re doing something that could expose you or your partner/s to STDs, it’s sex. Just because there isn’t a cis dick involved doesn’t negate the fact that it’s fucking.

    In conclusion, you had sex with the girl who fingered you last night. Always use gloves/dams/condoms plz!!

    Related: Could it be any clearer that this show is not for us? Otherwise why the fuck would they spend an episode explaining what lezzie sex is? It’s so heterosexist/misogynist of them to perpetuate the notion two women can’t fuck each other. Piss off, TRLW.

    This review was so funny! The past reviews were kind of Rush Limbaugh just hateful for no reason. Now you are like Howard Stern…still hateful but funny. Okay maybe hate is a bit much…but highly annoyed. I really didn’t know that white people were like this…meaning that I didn’t know you guys saw other white people who clearly aren’t you and some how make it about yourself. See I know some black people and they get all upset of let’s say BET because it somehow represents them. This is kind of like that…ridiculous.

    My wife and I (legally married in Canada) have been together for seven years and every week we see parts of our relationship somehow represented in the show. And it makes us laugh and reflect on the trials and tribulations of said romance. But at no time do we cringe of even care about the embarrassing things that they do because as much as it is a show it’s not scripted. So I am just going to speak for the cast, of who I admit I don’t know from a can of paint and say, it is what it is! When you guys get a little older you will see that this show is great.

    Thanks for your hard work on the recap. Worth it. And worth repeating that the recap is 50 times better than the show. That sex flowchart is so, so good, and I’ve been LOL’ing, rereading and re-LOL’ing at this all morning: “Mikey explains that because Mikey missed her flight on 9/11 from Pittsburgh to LAX, which got hijacked with all her bags inside (she lost her entire collection, it was devastating etc), she’s not upset at Raquel. She’s just 95% confident that her future wife just dodged a close encounter with Al Queda.”

    And at work the other day a rowdy table of 6 was raving about the real L word (and maybe there was one lesbian at the table, or maybe zero) and I had to try really hard not to die from laughing and get fired on my first shift. Or not die on my first shift.

    Once, long ago, possessed with the same desire to definitively answer the Sphinx-ian riddle of “what IS lesbian sex?” I walked around West Hollywood with a video camera and interviewed fellow lesbians (some sober, some not-so-sober) re: their opinions/definitions of lesbian sex and lesbian porn. The answers I got were all over the damn place, much like the girls on TRFLW. I would show the doc to you guys, because it actually turned out really funny and I interviewed some awesome Brits and The French Shane (no, really, she looked just like Shane but was French) but I didn’t get any actor releases because it was just for a college class. HOWEVS…the flow chart made my life/summed up all the various answers PERFECTLY and I second, third, double-fist the motion that it be made into T-shirts, posters, etc. etc.

    Conclusion: lesbian sex has multiple definitions just like lesbians give each other multiple orgasms. case closed.

    Does Mikey mean that her collection was on any old random flight from Pittsburgh to LAX on 9/11, she missed THAT flight, and then the collection was lost in the ensuing travel stoppage? Because there was no hijacked flight from Pittsburgh to LAX on 9/11/01. A check of Wikipedia confirms that the hijacked flights were BOS->LAX, BOS->LAX, Dulles->LAX, and Newark->SFO.

    I have a question for the law people here: is it even LEGAL to cut statements together the way you want them to be in a TV show? I mean, Nikki declared that she never actually said the thing about looking more “fabulous” in a designer dress but was talking about her weird body shape. They simply took two totally different sentences and cut them together into one.

    Just imagine the police working together with IFC in a murder investigation, it would be -oh wait THEY DID, weirdest investigation ever! Now we know how Alice would have ended up in jail. “I didn’t murder Jenny, I did have crazy sex with my girlfriend though” could suddenly become. “I didn’t have crazy sex with my girlfriend, I did murder Jenny though”

      I’m no lawyer, but I’m pretty sure they sign releases that let Showtime/IFC do whatever the crap they want with the footage.

    I missed the last show/recap so when I saw there were four whole pages of recap for this ep I thought several worrisome things about why there might be so much, and wondered if perhaps the last three pages were just full of “ALL TLRW AND NO PLAY MAKES AUTOSTRADDLE A DULL BOY” and the extreme exposure required for recapping should have made you flip.

    I mean, this is really a superhuman effort for you guys to keep doing this.

    There are too wonderful/hilarious things in this recap to quote without reaching the comment box’s perhaps-non-existent character limit, so I will just pick my fave:

    Laneia: I want my dress to be thesaurus.com. But only the good words.

    This is the first thing I have ever read that has made me seriously want to marry someone.

    I went to bed before I finished reading the recap cause I was super sleepy, but I keep dreaming about weird haircuts and weirder definitions of lesbian sex. I’m pretty happy I don’t get to watch this, recaps are enogh.

    Another excruciating experience…
    Ilene Chaiken knows how to make a dead boring, fake, annoying show about lesbians!

    I know the Luxor Hotel and the Roxbury Cafe now, i have the “LA non existent Fashion Week” and “Stamie’s doing a stand up every Thursday” written in my DNA and i can sleep tight!

    I also know that Nikki’s loaded with money and she wants to spend it to a Nirvana Jewish Wedding, that is not even recognized by the State.

    What the F*#ck?

    At least i have my weekly recap on Autostraddle! Thank you girls!!

    I’m a little in love with Romi, but I’m always confused about her one feather.

    so, I wasn’t aware that it was so damn hard to define lesbian sex. how ’bout this? if you’re female and trying for an orgasm with one or more chicks, then you’re having lesbian sex.

    now that i got that outta the way. i possibly love the recaps more than the actual show. it’s a shame whitney’s so annoying, because she’s really ‘effing cute.

    When I went to The Luxor, there was no pool table. Temples, grave chambers and buildings from before Time, however, were present.

    I’m never going to Las Vegas. I feel like my esthetics center never would make a full recovery,
