Iâm putting almost all of my hours & energy & resources right now into making that stuff â the good stuff Iâve gotten out of this show, which is my new friends and connections online and in real life â into a project that I hope will reflect everything positive about our community and encourage intelligent, responsible, entertaining and progressive discourse & art.
Itâs not a revolution ⌠but itâs solid. Itâs sweet, itâs snappy, itâs clever, smart, delicious. It gets away with things American teevee shows never try for. Itâs everything television should be.
We had a special visitor from Australia (Oz, co-leader of The L Word Online ) and creator, head writer, director and executive producer of AfterEllenâs hit series Alexiâs Closet, Alexi Melvin. Because the âFly Riese to LA and/or Haviland to NYC so they can vlog and watch The L Word togetherâ fund is very empty (TIP JAR PEOPLE!), she obvs wonât be watching, but I did get everyone else to come, and this little post will end with all of Team Autostraddle telling YOU what theyâve liked best, and loathed, about The L Word thus far.
We count down the top ten Lesbian Literature Classics.
âStreet Talkâ is, without a doubt, on my personal Top Ten of monumental, earth-shattering, all-time life-changing television events. Itâs right up there with Jordan Catalano & Angela Chase holding hands, Dana & Alice makinâ sweet love for the first time, Obamaâs victory speech and that man-on-the-moon thing.
Who’s going to die in season six? Jenny? Most people seem to be leaning towards Jenny. This is âcause everyoneâs confusing âWho would I like to kill?â with âwhoâs gonna be killed.â Jenny will never die, she is immortal, like Satan.
The most telling part of this whole she-bang is the ominous âJenny Schecter 2002-2008âł graphic that concludes the program. Not only does it imply that Mia looks hella old for a 6-year-old, it also serves to remind us that life begins and ends in the hands of our Creator, the Lord Above, Her Majesty Chief Alaskan Protection Community Coordinator Princess of the Lesbian Universe of All Peoples. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
After spending a week a la boat, returning to real life is no fun. Especially when ‘real life’ means mostly heterosexuals, apartment keys, and work.
You know how some people, like musician/actress Leisha Hailey and photographer/actress Jennifer Beals, have many talents? I’m one of those people. In addition to my superior writing skills, I’m handy with a vodka bottle, handy w/my own two hands and handy being handsy. Furthermore, I’ve got a knack for guetsbianisim, lesbianism and celesbianism. But most […]
In a countdown of the best scenes of season four, we start with Jenny calling Stacey Merkin a vagina wig and take a break with the basketball game at number six. Scenes one through five are coming atcha soon.
Better is riding a tractor, Jenny is riding a raft, and Paige is riding Shane in the ’50s. Shining moments include scenes with the Lynch [who can do no wrong] and Dana Fairbanks [may she rest in peace].
Why are there twice as many lesbian squabbles as lesbian sexy moments in this show? Oh yeah, it’s because this is the way that we liveeeeeeeee. This is the one where Ilene reminds us all that men are disgusting, loathsome creatures by making henry cut his toenails.
The top three ways you can tell EZ-Girl wrote this episode? Max kissed mice when he was little, Tina likes movies that are very “visual”, and Catharine thinks drawing with lipstick is sexy. Luckily, Jenny just wants to take off her clothes in public.
Oh look! A special visit from The Ditty Bops! In this installment of our favorite saga, Alice says “what the frickin’ frack?!,” Max stlll has an unfortunately soulpatch, and Alice and Shane make us remember why vandalism can be fun.
Despite the fact that angus is a lying low-down nanny-fucking motherfucker, GIRLS ACTUALLY HAVE SEX THIS EPISODE. Even Kit and Papi. Ew, we know.
If Paige and Shane have already done the time then they might as well do the crime you know what I mean ladies?
It’s almost Valentine’s Day and Riese is sending out all her love. Luckily there’s lots to love in this episode with everyone looking very Shane today, the lesbian phone tree, Tasha being generally adorable, and of course: Angela Robinson.
This week in L Word University we learn how to say fuck in sign language, Phyllis assigns “The Whole Lesbian Sex Book,” and Alice and Jenny channel the masters.
First of all: Hellooooooo Paige! Someone tell Papi that she can be a chula without the Hobby Lobby hats, please. In other news, remember how you laughed the whole time they played basketball? Me too.
I hope you had sex this week because no one on The L Word did. Instead, Phyllis has a crush on Alice, Angus is Butter Boy, and Shane continues to feed Shay food that she should be eating.
