Everyone, I think, has an author or a book that they go back to time and again – a book that is so good, you started reading it a second time right after you’d finished it for the first (and if you don’t have that book, I think it’s probably because you just haven’t found it yet). For me, Jhumpa Lahiri is that author, and Interpreter of Maladies, her Pulitzer Prize-winning debut is that book. … Continue Reading
Did anyone else notice this bitsy interview with Jane Lynch from August’s issue of Vanity Fair? I didn’t even know she’d written a book, but apparently she has. And a good thing it is too, because this interview has answered many important questions. Like: do Hollywood Power Lesbians all eat dinner together? … Continue Reading

OHMYGODYOUGUYS I haven’t been this excited since I found out Lip Service was ending. Ivan E Coyote – you know, I wrote about her before – has her very own, brand new column. You know what this means, right? A regular fix of the kind of writing that makes me tangle my hair around my fingers and sigh (I KNOW I KNOW, how emodramatic is that? BUT IT’S TRUE). … Continue Reading
So I hate film remakes at the best of times (what’s the point even? I didn’t watch Conan the Barbarian the first time around, I’m extremely unlikely to watch a testosterone-pumped version of the same. Also the Swedish version of Let the Right One In was far superior to its Hollywood remake, as was the Korean version of The Eye and every Japanese version of every horror film ever). … Continue Reading

WE KNOW WE KNOW it’s been ages and we should have gotten this done before and we’re terrible people and all that. But we have excuses! They involve illness, laziness and drunkenness. Are we forgiven? Good. We’re grateful. Also – DFC forgot to tweeze her eyebrows and Fairy Cake is wearing a “shitty beanie” because we don’t care. That’s just how we roll. … Continue Reading

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS, this show is starting to go nowhere very, very fast. Neither Fairy Cake nor I are sure we can take this anymore. So we’ve tried drinking more – seriously, you should see FC go for it this episode – but it’s not working.
I guess what we’re trying to say is: we have some wine, but does anyone have a straw? … Continue Reading
Who loves a funny woman? How about a whole bunch of them? This gem comes from a ‘Women of SNL’ special from last year. And yes, I know this video is from Perez Hilton, for whom I have no great love, but it’s impossible to find a copy that works outside the US and it’s so hilarious it had to be shared. You’ll recognise Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph from the recent, HILARIOUS ‘Bridesmaids’. … Continue Reading
I complain a lot about how there are no lesbians (or only crap lesbians – I’m looking at you, Frankie) on TV. I guess the Powers That Be Must have heard one of my complaints and decided to do something about it, because True Blood has lesbians falling out of its freaking ears. How many are there? Let me count them out for you (warning: there may be spoilers). … Continue Reading

Hi! This is late. We know. Sorry. But it’s here now so you can watch to your heart’s content.
Also, there’s another poll. … Continue Reading

OH YES the time has come, my sweets, to sit down with a bottle or two of vino and listen to us rant about THE [only] reality TV show devoted to lesbians in London. This is, of course, Candy Bar Girls. We’ve watched the trailers. We’ve pored over the print ads. We’ve outlined our hopes and we’ve relayed our fears about this show. … Continue Reading
What are you doing tonight? Don’t even try to pretend you won’t be watching Candy Bar Girls – none of us are going to believe you. … Continue Reading
LESBIANS.
I mean, it’s not terrible, right? It’s succinct and pretty to-the-point, which is how I like things. Mostly. … Continue Reading
Everyone’s favourite dire lesbian series is back – and it’s whiter than ever.
Okay, so I know I sound like a whining, repetitive bitch about this – and maybe I should just shut up and be like, yeah, they’re all white, all the time, get over it, etcetera etcetera, but they were EVER SO SLIGHTLY ON TRACK AT THE END OF LAST SEASON SO WTF HAPPENED? … Continue Reading
