Hello, my wünderbar ladies!! I wrote a post a while back on celebrity crushes, which has turned out to be a HUGE success (if you haven’t commented on it yet, or even seen it, check it out and add your beauties!), so in light of recent television discoveries (*cough cough* Once and Again’s lesbian couple *cough…blissful sigh*) I have decided to do a post on y’all’s favorite couples on the screen, stage, or page. Think hard, now, and don’t be afraid to add more comments as you think of some you may have forgotten. (Oh, and please make these real–no fantasy couples, i.e. Hermione and Ginny in HP, or Thirteen and Cameron on House. I’m sorry, truly.)

So here are mine to begin with:

Jessie (Evan Rachel Wood) and Katie (Mischa Barton) on Once and Again

Marissa (Mischa Barton) and Alex (Olivia Wilde) in The OC

Annabelle (Erin Kelly) and Simone (Diane Gaidry) from Loving Annabelle

Evie (Nicole Ari Parker) and Randy (Laurel Holloman) from The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love

Love you all loads,

~S-B406

Favorite girl crushes from the stage, screen, or recording studio!

Hey, has anyone seen this TV series before? I found out about it just recently, I’m from Asia so I don’t have access to this series on TV. Well, this series impacted me a lot, and somehow I’m becoming more lesbian than I thought I was. Anyways, I feel being gay is so much harder in Asia than anywhere else! It’s almost impossible to come out and tell everyone because you will be ostracised and whatever.

This TV series is hot! Seriously! I haven’t seen all the episodes yet, can’t find all on the net. Does anyone have this show to share? thanks

Hi all, I know this isn’t exactly a question, but I do need help in giving away some L Word Season 5 DVDs, in exchange for some feedback on my site, hope you girls can help me out

For details you can refer here

Okay, does anyone else LOVELOVELOVE the show House? With Hugh Laurie (loverly Brit that he is)? Well, if you don’t already, watch it! It’s kind of hot and bothered now, ohmilord… I watched the newest episode tonight (the 21st) and couldn’t beLIEVE Thirteen gettin’ it on with another woman… wowza. Good episode, I must say. Made me smile inside… however serious it really was… does anyone feel this with me? GOD I enjoy that show. But it makes me angry how they dispersed the old team. Cameron is quite attractive.

… for Belgian readers: as from tonight VTM is broadcasting season 3 of Bad Girls!

Do you have what it takes to date a fresh out of the closet Maxim model?

Finally, a lesbian reality-dating-show! Well, it was bound to happen some time… I hope it spreads around the globe and we can have our very own Belgian version. (Although I’m not sure we’ve all recovered yet from Niki’s Geheim.) (But we all know that was just a silly boring funny-voiced straight girl pretending to be bi-curious)

Let’s not forget this milestone in lesbian history:

In May 23, 1988, in the UK, a group calling themselves ‘The Lesbian Avengers’ invaded the Six o’clock news, while Sue Lawley was reading the headlines.

If you look closely during the first few seconds, you can see Nicholas Witchell on the phone to security. The noise you hear as Sue Lawley reads the headlines is Witchell attempting to quieten the protestors. He is now remembered for the resulting Daily Mirror’s front page – ‘BEEB MAN SITS ON LESBIAN!’. (quoted from Youtube)

[youtube 8YRykjr0hMM]

Sue Lawley presented the news while a lesbian was under her desk! Afterwards she said the invasion “was a very alarming experience”.
And as Youtube user scotsmusclebear remarks in the comments: “The invasion was highly successful. The BBC has been run by lesbians and the rest of the left ever since.”

Last weekend Jason Donovan was a guest in The Graham Norton Show. I was totally excited because about 15 years ago I was madly in love with Jason Donovan. I used to think he was the most beautiful boy ever and all I ever wanted back then was to be Kylie Minogue (so I could at least pretend to be married to him).

When I saw him on the show last Sunday I have to admit that I was a bit shocked at seeing how the years had not been so kind on him… and at realizing that I must have (had) bad taste. I thought I’d check with The Girlfriend and she told me that in her opinion Jason Donovan had never really been pretty. (A bold statement that shocked me even more.)

But hey, Jason Donovan was my Pre-Dyke Age Boy Crush. It’s as simple as that. So, now I’m wondering: who was your Boy Crush?

OK, everything I wrote about The L Word last week… I take it all back, every single word of it. Because this week’s episode was so hot, I couldn’t believe it. And it just kept on coming and coming. What a way to start a fresh episode: Bette & Jodi in the bedroom for what must have been the sexiest L-word scene ever (we loved Marlee in The West Wing, but we love her sooo much more now) and as a little extra Bette & Jodi at the breakfast table wearing white tanktops in such an incredibly hot way it should become uniform for cute women. Then there was Alice & Tasha, Shane & Paige and Helena and the rich woman… they were all getting it on, it just didn’t stop.

It’s as if the producers or writers or whatevers saved it all up for this one episode, as if they were just toying with us before and thinking… we’ll keep them hanging on just a little bit longer and then we’re going to hit them so hard with hotness they’ll forgive us for all the crap we’ve been feeding them before. Shameless, but efficient. All is forgiven. Of course THE big question is: where will it go from here? They can’t give us all this and then take it away again, right? If so, I predict a huge dyke blog riot.

The episode wasn’t just hot, it was also quite funny. The Girlfriend and I think Phyllis is hilarious and when Bette & Jodi were comforting her (because she can’t get over Alice) (yay, dyke drama) and Jodi said that thing to Bette about not being able to go much deeper than she did that morning; I couldn’t believe they made a joke like that on The L Word. And I don’t think I ever laughed as hard while watching the show either. More more more!

Anyway, it’s actually a good thing lesbian sex doesn’t get you pregnant because I think there may have been a massive baby boom amongst lesbians nine months from now.

And The Vet wasn’t even in it.

Has anyone been to OurChart.com yet?
Let’s talk about how ABSOLUTELY irritating it is that what are we? 5 … 6 weeks into the new season of L Word and the “chart” is STILL not up and running???
Talk about poor planning!  Jeeze mon!
They advertised for the site on what? Episode 1?  And still there’s no chart.  What DO they have you ask?

*  A blog called “The Hookup” headlined by a very unattractive (not that blogging requires attractiveness or anything – I mean look at me) picture of some dorky looking girl with her very Roy Orbison specs….
…blabbering on about nothing I care to even think about – either that or pretending that she’s so blasé about going to this or that big ole celebrity function with this or that person from the L Word.
Yeah, cry me a river, lady.
Moving on…

*  MORE blogs from a bunch of “celebrity” lesbians ya never heard of – save Jenny and well, I don’t want nothin’ to do with her on the show – let alone reading her drivel. 

*  The only section that I find remotely interesting is the one that’s ::::gasp:::: ACTUALLY related to L Word called “L Word Insider” where you can see photographs that Jennifer Beals took (very nice) and some behind the scenes stuff…

*  Then of course there’s the obligatory nameless, unmemorable, talentless bands they grace us with under their “exclusives”… ooooooooooooooo be still my heart.  :::::coma::::::

Whatever – do ya think anyone came to this site for this crap??? 
Bring.
On.
The.
Damn.
Chart!
Sakes alive!  I wish I could tell my boss that my work was “coming soon” then take 3 months to turn it in…. Must be nice!
Way to get everyone all pumped up for something and drive all this traffic to your website then bore us all to death until we all drop off like flies.

After watching the second (pretty OK) episode of The L Word I was talking to a few fellow dykes about Curve Magazine and how it got plugged quite a few times during the episode. One of the fellow L-loving dykes offered the following, quite surprising (to me anyway) opinion: you can’t call that plugging, they wrote such a harsh review on Jenny’s book that they’ll come out all bad now. (It’s a fact girls, some people actually like Jenny. Personally I live by the Why-Like-a-Jenny-When-You-Can-Love-a-Bette Rule.)

I’m actually convinced that it’s the other way around. Throughout the previous 2 seasons we’ve been forced to watch those awful (and sadly recurring) Jenny-is-dreaming-and-writing scenes, excerpts of the silliest writings ever to be shown on TV included. Who liked that? So, if Curve wanted to look cool they had no choice but to slaughter Jenny and make the majority of the L-fans feel good. And they did. Mission accomplished. Right?

Dykes And The City

We received a question in our TLQ-mailbox, let’s try and answer it interactively (= in the comments):

The episode of The L Word in which Dana dies, wasn’t written by Ilene Chaiken. It was written by some “Rose lady”. Do you know where she came from because she didn’t write any of the other episodes?

More questions? ask@thelesbianquestion.com

After all the hyping and the hoping, I was rather unimpressed with the first new episode of The L Word. But I’m hopeful because I suppose this first episode was some sort of a transition between the madness of season 3 and all the fun season 4 is going to be. (I’m a hopeful person.)

Bette still wasn’t back in power suits (but the return of AlphaBette did get announced when she got a phone call from new boss Phyllis). Daniela Sea still doesn’t make a believable Max. And the bit where Alice & Helena talked about OurChart was really ridiculous. And what was the thing with Jenny’s new girlfriend Claude? They just met 24 hours ago in Canada and she’s already moving in? That must be a record!

And then there was the return of Marina… it was actually quite like I had imagined her return would be like (Jenny’s book signing at The Planet, Marina walks in, people start whispering, Jenny doesn’t faint, Claude suggests a threesome, Jenny doesn’t faint, Jenny declines the threesome, Marina says to Claude “Ce n’est pas grave” – she speaks 34 languages, you know – and then they get it on…) but somehow I didn’t buy it.

The Girlfriend and I concluded that they really should focus more on comedy than on all this silly lesbo-drama. I mean, what are people going to think of us? I bet some men already think that all dykes speak French.

Anyway, the longing for episode 2 starts now. And one really great consequence is: Scribe Grrrl is back with her fantastic recaps on After Ellen!

Dykes And The City

What better way to get this started than with a post on The L Word, after all the new season breaks today and we can hardly say we haven’t been looking forward to it, can we?

Anyway, in every article I’ve read about the upcoming The L Word Season it says that Bette & Tina should get back together because fans all over the globe want them to, some even threatened to give up Showtime subscriptions and called Ilene Chaiken (the woman we all love to hate) names, and even Bette (stop thinking Bette is a real person) Jennifer Beals wants them to get back together now. Why?

I mean, I haven’t always been a fan of Ilene Chaiken’s storyline decisions (Kill Dana and let Jenny live? What was she thinking? Letting Betty promote themselves on the show? I feared the series would never recover…) but I’m definitely supporting this one. I understand that viewers see Bette & Tina as the ultimate power couple, but that is only based on the first half of series one. I also understand the emotional and nostalgic attachment to the beginning of The First Series Ever On Lesbians, but really, it’s time to let it go and start facing that it all went totally downhill from there. 

And let’s be honest: Tina is not good enough for Bette. (Alpha)Bette is The Lesbian we all want to be but that doesn’t really exist in real life. But what is Tina? She is the dyke that converted to men. Of all the lesbo-sacrilegious things to do, she really picked the worst. So, all of you out there rooting for a happy TiBette-Ending, I’m not with you. And anyway, isn’t it much more fun to see Bette get it on with several new hotties instead of seeing her pine for Tina in ugly clothes?

PS I guess starting tomorrow we will all be OurChartin’ instead of MySpacin’
