Dating – it’s a weird world out there. The newly or currently single amongst us know this, and those who are spoken for should be glad they don’t know this. But if you’re lost or unsure, or simply have no clue what you’re doing, fear not. There is one source of advice that betters all others – this is, of course, the television. I mean, if the lezzers on TV can pull it off, why can’t you? … Continue Reading

The Most Cake’s weekly round-up of lesbian-ish/gay lady/queer grrrl news from around the world…
I do:
A gay lady reverend in Greenwich wants to get married to her gay lady partner (who is German! Double gay win!), so do three other gay couples, and four straight couples want to get CP’ed, so they’re all going to court. … Continue Reading
You guys should know – there are perks that come with writing for TMC, one of which is most definitely preview discs. Oh the joy I felt when the first episode of Lip Service popped through my letterbox – it was a pretty sweet feeling. And the premiere of Lip Service this week was pretty exciting too: now that the first season of the Real L Word is over, I’ve been waiting for something gay and trashy … Continue Reading
So who watched Lip Service tonight? Hailed as the ‘British L Word’, we at TMC headquarters have been looking forward to the show for months. Literally. And tonight’s viewing was good – the healthy shot of lesbian drama (not the real kind, Christ, don’t we have enough of that) … Continue Reading

We wanted to make this film for the same reason we wanted to make the website – to capture a tiny essence of the people and the culture that’s blooming up around the gay scene right now. We love it and this is just a 140 second homage.
It’s an endorphin-shot summer’s day in East London. … Continue Reading
Out of interest (and because, sometimes, work can be really, really boring) I was flipping through the Guardian website (I’m an intellechewal). Now, because I’m addicted to television, I picked on their list of Top 50 dramas, interested, but not holding out much hope with regards to seeing much gay representation on there. Egg on my face, then, to find that The L Word, yes, our very own, made an appearance. … Continue Reading

Those of you who spent Thursday night knee-deep in bar queues wearing questionable fancy dress and too inebriated to see who you were swapping saliva with at the stroke of midnight, may have missed ITV’s latest toe-dip into the land of lesbianism. For this New Year’s Eve saw Joanna Briscoe’s erotic thriller Sleep with Me adapted for the channel by formidable screenwriting talent Andrew Davies, in nothing less than their prime time slot. Yups. Described as an “erotic thriller” in which “Adrian Lester (Hustle) and Jodhi May (Tipping the Velvet) … Continue Reading
Well whaddaya know it’s Christmas again; a time of mince pies, mulled wine, and as anyone in Covent Garden yesterday evening would have spotted, lots and lots of mistletoe. Yep Christmas is a traditional time for kissing; from a quick peck on the cheek to a full blown ‘Frenchie’ and you’ve simply gotta love it. … Continue Reading
So by now, everyone must have heard about Nick Griffin on Question Time. For those of you who have not heard about this debacle, I could try to explain, but my brain and fingers find him rather revolting, and also are sick of writing/thinking about him. Hence, I tried to write a short explanation, but it all came out rather like this: … Continue Reading
As I’ve said before – I love Hallowe’en. And if you’re hesitant to take the homebody route and stay in watching horror movies, then you’re probably planning something fun and dressy-up for October 31st – and why shouldn’t you? Dressing up is great. Trying to figure out something to dress up as, however, can be slightly more difficult. Especially if you want to dress up as a Lesbian Somebody. Stuck for ideas? Here are my top ten last minute les/bi-an costumes.

The L Word may be over and initial plans for a spin off based around Alice (Leisha Hailey) shelved, but Ilene Chaiken is far from done. Rumour has it that Showtime has commissioned nine episodes of Chaiken’s new brain child “The Real L Word: Los Angeles”. Yep, you guessed it, a show focusing on the lives of ‘real’ LA lesbians. According to Variety, the show will follow six LA lesbians as they go about their everyday lives. … Continue Reading
