THE L WORD WRAPS
WHERE ARE THE CREW CUTS, LEG HAIR AND BIRKENSTOCKS IN THIS PIC?
After 6 seasons, the lesbian serial drama is coming to an end. I'm always happy to see the foxy blacksploitation star Pam Grier still working, but I happened to find myself in San Francisco during it's premiere and I watched it with Marilyn Pittman, a well-known SF area lesbisn comedienne and radio personality. We were interested in writing a skit parodying the show since all of the cast were such lisptick lesbo's that it didn't ring true in any way based on the promos we'd seen.
To our shock, the first episode actually dealt with two lipstick lesbians glamming themselves up in an attempt to find a foxy sperm donor--it became clear that this show had little to do with the lesbian experience and it seemed geared to attract an audience of straight men who fancied sapphic sisters getting it on. We howled and realized tha the show was already a parody of itself. When are we going to stop watching such shit just because it's gay? I'd rather watch a quality straight show than some absurd show whose only attraction was it's gay subject matter, pitifully executed. Hopefully, The L Word improved over 6 years, but in my mind, and in the mind of dyke Marilyn Pittman, the show was shit from the very first episode. Good riddance to bad rubbish!

SURE! Lesbians REALLY look like that! Their storylines sound just as lame as the gay storylines on 'Neighbours' and 'Home & Away' here (in Australia).
I can't think of any beautiful lesbians other than Samantha Fox and Thelma from Scooby Doo.
