You Will Enjoy This, Because Dana Fairbanks and Julie Goldman

on September 27, 2012

Carlytron's Team Pick:

So I had heard about this show, DTLA, a while ago, and I knew Logo had acquired it. But I hadn't seen the trailer -- which actually looks pretty awesome -- so I was understandably very excited when I watched it this afternoon. I sent several emails to Riese and Laneia recapping my thoughts on it.

2:11 PM WATCH THE TRAILER BECAUSE DANA FAIRBANKS IS IN IT OMG
2:14 PM wait omg it gets better. JULIE GOLDMAN JUMPING ON A CAR. and I think the masseuse is played by HOT GAY DANNY from the real world new orleans.
2:20 PM also NEW YORK from VH1's hit series I LOVE NEW YORK OMG

Basically you should watch this for the casting ALONE, but also it actually looks pretty good. And it's from one of the producers of the L Word whose name does NOT rhyme with "Tai Chi Naked" (that was the best I could come up with and it was awful, I am ashamed and sorry).

I love the title, and the tags, and the article, and the trailer, and Dana Fairbanks. So, thanks!

Um, Julie Goldman yelling and jumping on a car, for like 45 minutes (allowing for commercial breaks). Why is this not a thing?

I got so excited when I saw Dana Fairbanks in the title, that my eyes stopped reading. Then I SHRIEKED when Julie Goldman came on in the trailer.

I need to see this. And also to breathe.

Today I was lamenting the fact that True Blood is over, thus rendering me tv show friend-less. Autostraddle saved me again! Thanks carlytron!

I was literally bouncing around as Allison typed that comment. LIFE GOALS! I did this last trailer We do work for Larry Kennar and he’s absolutely NOT Illene Chaiken.

Thanks for watching guys!

I love my ladies who love ladies. I’m so excited Autostraddle exists! I heard about it from Allison and Cristine (above) who are gifted filmmakers ready to break! I have been blessed to have them on board. Thanks for the love and support for DTLA!

True story: One time I had dinner with Dana Fairbanks*. She had just had a baby and spent all day on a plane or in an airport, and she was still the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen in real life. It was almost painful being in the same room as her.

*I know the actress’s name is Erin Daniels. That’s not what’s important here.

I would watch just about anything if Julie Goldman was involved. I would watch her chew an entire pack of Zebra Stripe Gum just for her reaction to how quickly the terrible taste wears off. I guess this will work too. And… Dana Fairbanks – I could die. #ilenechaikenwhyyousocray
