Fox’s biggest hope just might live up to the hype, as long as it lets its queer women of color shine.

They’re from all over the globe kickin’ ass and takin’ names one record at a time. Hear them. See them. Support them!

This week on “Faking It,” Amy sends Karma on a birthday scavenger hunt that somehow doesn’t lead her to The Planet.

“Almost immediately Linda is convulsing, and getting red in the face, and moaning in a way I’ve never heard a lady moan before. Little short bursts of air. She is making spirit fingers in the way I imagine they are meant to be done.”

Talk dirty to me. But not like Jason Derulo, more like Janelle Monae in the Electric Lady Video, ok? Tell me ’bout your summer, baebae.
