Sorry everyone ...

I know, I know, its kinda late, but, it is still Thursday.

There probably won't be another Big Brother update on here until the finale, because, well, everyone I like is gone. Angie is gone, Jesse is gone, April is gone, now Michelle AND Ollie have been voted out. Michelle was backdoored by the now lying Dan. Too bad too, I really wanted Dan to win before the crap he pulled this week. At least the showmance of Ollie and April will be back together, and we don't have to watch it. :0) Although, I bet they show something about the two of them on Sunday.

I'll try my hardest to get the next fave lesbian couples blog tomorrow.

Wednesday Hottie

Hello everyone! Sorry for the delay, but I could not decide on this week's Wednesday Hottie until my best friend called me and gave me some amazing news.

She was supposed to interview the beautiful, wonderful, and multi-talented, Leisha Hailey tonight (but unfortunately got postponed since Leisha was still fliming).

Everyone who knows of her, seems to love Leisha Hailey. She does everything, she acts, sings, writes songs, and is apparently very grateful and nice to her friends. Most of you probably only know her from The L Word, but Leisha has also been in episodes of Ellen (she was an extra in the infamous coming out episode), Boy Meets World (a guitar playing optimist turned emo when Eric broke her heart to optimist again), Grey's Anatomy (an outdoorswoman who suffers from the flesh eating disease), and CSI. You are probably saying to yourself, Leisha was never in CSI, but she was. It was just kind of hard to recognize her. Leisha's first major role was in All Over Me. Leisha is also in a long running series of Yoplait commercials in which her and at least one other women compare Yoplait yogurt, to other things they consider good.

Leisha was born on July 11, 1971 in Okinawa, Japan. She grew up in Bellevue, Nebraska, attending Bellevue West High School where she played the leading male role of "Oliver" in her school play. She is a 5'6", a vegetarian and is currently datinig fashion designer and owner of Free City, Nina Garduno.

Leisha came out as a lesbian when she was a teenager and moved to New York City where she graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1991. She formed the rock duo The Murmurs (changed to Gush in 2001) with her former classmate at the academy Heather Grody. They released 3 albums, as well as performing on several movie soundtracks and touring with Lilith Fair. Their biggest album, Blender, included songs produced by k.d. lang, Leisha's significant other for several years. She was also the inspiration for lang's album, Invincible Summer. Leisha left Gush for several years due to her busy acting schedule. They did however release one self-titled album which was only sold at gigs.

She made her television series debut on Showtime's The L Word in 2004 as Alice Pieszecki; a sharp-witted, bisexual magazine writer. Since then The L Word has received multiple awards and critical praise. Leisha herself was chosen as one of Denton Record Chronicle's "Top 10 Ladies Who Made 2004 Memorable."

In 2005, Leisha founded Marfa Records. Leisha is now in a new band, Uh Huh Her, where she is a singer and guitarist, together with Camila Grey (producer, vocals, synth, bass). They released an EP entitled I See Red on July 24, 2007. They also released their first full length album Common Reaction, on August 19, 2008 with Nettwerk Records / Live Nation.

In 2007, Hailey was named the sexiest woman in the AfterEllen Hot 100 list compiled by AfterEllen.com. She responded to topping the list with:

Wow, I don't even know what to say. I hope Angelina's not mad at me. I have to say this really makes up for the time I was on the Homecoming Court in high school with my boyfriend (yes I had one) and he won and I didn't. So thanks to everyone. I'll try and keep up my hotness.

On April 28, 2008, Hailey was named Olivia Cruises' new spokesperson.

While researching Leisha for this blog, I learned some things I had never known before. Accoring to wikipedia, she was a big soccer player, and the article even included a quote.

"I was a soccer star… I was a goalscorer, but then I busted my knee out and my whole career ended."

There are so many reasons to love Leisha Hailey. As I have mentioned before, she's beautiful and talented. I know a couple people who have met her, and they have said she was one of the nicest people they have ever met. Hell, how often to stars do phone interviews with people they met at a conert who then start a fanblog?

Leisha's character, Alice, is probably one the of realest characters from TLW. She plays her so well, its hard to remember that Alice, is not real. You just want to fight for her. You want her to see some kind of happiness. I love that she has fun with her character. She'd make a pretty good writer too. She is known for ad-libbing on a couple occasions, one of which made the following scene, hilarious.



For those of you who are still wondering when the hell Leisha was on CSI, here's her scene:


The same person who posted this video, has also posted a video of Leisha's transformation for the part.

Coming back again ... hopefully

So, soon all the new shows will premiere, and all our old faves will return. It's that time of the year again. My good friend Kat gave me the idea of doing a recap of sort of my favorite lesbian couples from last season. I then decided to stretch it out a couple days and do more than just last season, but those will start coming on Thursday. Now, here are my top favorite lesbian couples from last season.


Looking at old posts, I'm sure you all can guess one of my faves. While Callie and Erica didn't officially become a couple at all last season, the last several episodes hinted at it coming. So, without further ado, here's the kiss between Callie and Erica on the season finale of Grey's Anatomy.



Callie has been on the show since the middle of season one, when all of a sudden she was everywhere. She quickly became on of the main characters as she developed a relationship with one of the interns, George. Erica made a couple cameos early on but did not become a regular until after Preston Burke left (I'm sure many of you remember the whole Isiah Washington calling T.R. Knight a fag). These two characters became friends and Callie and George broke up after George had an affair with Izzy. Callie never even considered Erica has more than a friend until Addison came back for one episode and said something to her. Callie than started sleeping with McSteamy, and well, the rest you saw in the video.


There weren't that many lesbian couples on network television last season (if any other than Callica). So, we're moving on to cable. There were several different couples on The L Word, as there usually are, and its actually kind of hard for me to choose just one. Bette and Tina got back together, although, unlike a lot of people, I loved Bette and Jodi. Jenny seemed to have a good relationship until the end, even Shane had a good thing going for her, until Molly's mom decided to mess with Shane's head (btw, what is it with Shane and art shows? She keeps getting her heart broken at them). I, this time like a lot of people, LOVED Alice and Tasha. Alice has always been one of my faves (became my fave after Dana died) and it was good to see her happy. PS, I am trying to keep this clean, so you'll have to go to youtube to see more provocative scenes. This video does have several parts to it.



Alice and Tasha's relationship began during the fourth season. Tasha, a solider in the Army Reserves, was a friend of Papi's. The two met and sparks flew. In the fifth season, Tasha is kicked out of the army for being gay. At first she was fighting the system, but after seeing Alice get grilled, decided the Army was not worth hiding her life. As the fifth season ended, it looked as though Alice was contemplating having an affair.


The third couple is Spashley or for those of you who have no clue what that means, Spencer and Ashley from South of Nowhere. In season 3A, Spencer and Ashley's relationship was pretty rocky, but at the end, it seemed like things were getting good again. Spashley is probably one of the youngest lesbian couples on television, both girls were in high school when they started dating.

Warning, this video contains some scenes from Season 3B, which has not aired in the US yet. The "spoiler" scenes are clearly marked.


Spencer and Ashley started out as just friends in Season one, but by the end of the season, they were falling in bed together (literally). Season two opened up the morning after one ended, and hinted that the two had sex. One of the most emotional episodes of SoN happened during season two, when Spencer's mother, Paula, walked in on Spencer and Ashley about to have sex. The rest of the season seemed to focus more on Paula's refusal to accept Spencer and Ashley. While Spencer and Ashley went to prom together, at the end it did not look like they were survive as a couple much longer. Season three opened, Spencer's brother was dead, Aiden had been shot, and Ashley was leaving LA. When she came back, Spashley as over and Ashley was dating Aiden. Spencer ended up dating another girl, Carmen, but netiher of those relationships lasted through the first half of season 3. 3A ended with Spencer, standing naked in Ashley's door.


So, while these were my fave lesbian couples from last season, there weren't many others. Like I said, I only wanted to include one from The L Word, so there's a few couples left out, but there just weren't that many on television. If you remember more, please, comment and let me know.

Wednesday Hottie

The title of these hopefully weekly posts is a work in progress. Yes, I am kind of borrowing the idea from a fellow blogger, Dorothy Snarker of Dorothy Surrenders, but I hope she does not mind.

Our first hottie is: ALICIA SACRAMONE. Alicia is our first hottie mainly because I have a huge crush on this girl.

Almost everyone knows who Alicia Sacramone is. If you don't, where the hell have you been? Living under a rock? Anyways, Alicia is a member of the US Olympic gymnastics team. Yes, she's the one that fell during her floor routine and off the beam, but you know what? She nailed the rest of her beam routine. I don't think Shawn Johnson or Nastia Luikin would have been able to do a near perfect routine after a devastating fall like that at the very beginning. And then the poor girl loses bronze in vault to a person who couldn't even land her second vault (and the girl who got gold LANDED out of bounds both times? WTF?). I wanted to cry when the camera panned over her and the lights reflected off the tears forming in her eyes. But enough of that. Wanna know why this girl is hot?

Does this answer your question?

Alicia Sacramone was born on December 3, 1987 in Boston, MA. As a child, she enrolled in dance classes, but found them boring and switched to gymnastics when she was nearly 9. She reached the elite level at age 12.

Alicia has been on the national team for four years. Not only is Alicia a world class gymnast, her freshman year of college, at Brown University (beauty and brains), she combined a full-time student schedule, NCAA gymnastics, and elite gymnastics. Talk about determination.

What's it like straddling two worlds: the freedom of college versus the structure of training camps?
It drives me a little bit crazy. I'm used to being able to do whatever I want whenever I want. At camp it's like lights out at 10 o'clock ... I'm not usually even close to my dorm at 10 o'clock.

Now, on to some of the reasons why I am totally crushing, other than looks. Her favorite athlete? Tedy Bruschi, linebacker of the New England Patriots, who is my favorite athlete ... other than Alicia. Her favorite television show? Grey's Anatomy, which if you look at earlier posts, you will see I am obsessed with that show. She also like Dancing with the Stars and would like to be a competitor one day.

Alicia has had her ups and downs like everyone, but she was still seen as the team leader.

I never saw myself as the team leader. I remember being the youngest on national team and out of nowhere, I'm now an older sister figure ... It's weird to be in that position, but I don't mind it at all.

Alicia seems like a normal person, not like a gold medal winning athlete. She seems easy going.

People don't see that we're normal people too. We like to gossip and talk about boys. We got some heat for being a little outspoken this year. People have come to me and said, 'You don't act like a gymnast.' I'm like, 'Well how is a gymnast supposed to act?'

You all might still be asking, why exactly is Alicia the first Wednesday Hottie? Well, I'm not sure how else to explain it. She beautiful, smart, talented, determined, seems friendly and easy going, open, doesn't give up, and many other things that I just cannot think of right now. If you're still asking that question, well, maybe you should just get over it.

****EDIT: As Kaye pointed out in her comment, Alicia, along with Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin, are all Covergirl models. I believe the three of them are the first athletes to be signed as Covergirl models.

Pictures of a Wedding

So, as my previous post stated, Ellen and Portia got married this weekend. Well, I finally found some pictures from their small wedding at home. Unfortunately, none of the pictures are of very good quality, but something is better than nothing at this point I believe.

I just love Portia's dress. It not a typical wedding dress, but more princess like. It helps create that happily ever after feeling.

Here, Ellen and Portia seem to be posing for pictures.





This picture is by far my favorite of the three, it shows them smiling at the camera, seemingly the happiest they've ever been.

First comes love, Second comes Marriage ...

Ellen and Portia have tied the knot!

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi got married at their home in Beverly Hills last night.

According to an article on Yahoo!'s homepage, Portia wore a backless, light pink dress, with her hair in a loose updo and Ellen wore all white, pants, buttoned up shirt, and vest.

Portia has credited Ellen with helping her come out of the closet. "My feelings for Ellen overrode all of my fear about being out as a lesbian," she told the Advocate in September 2005.

Portia has said the first time she spotted Ellen, the comedian took her breath away.
"That had never happened to me in my life, where I saw somebody and [experienced] all of those things you hear about in songs and read about in poetry. My knees were weak," Portia said.

In 2005, Ellen said she hoped she and Portia would be "together the rest of our lives."

"I never would have thought my life would have turned out this way," Ellen told Allure. "To have money. Or to have a gorgeous girlfriend. I just feel so lucky with everything in my life right now."

When seeing the happy couple together, you can tell the two are truly in love. Earlier, I posted the video of Ellen announcing their engagement on her show. Portia, who was standing in the audience, looked like she was near tears.

I am very happy for Ellen and hope she and Portia a happy, and log marriage. Ellen deserves a little happiness and I'm glad she finally found some.

Here's the video of Ellen's announcement again:



I'll post pictures as soon as I see some!

A Much Shorter Post

Hey everyone!

So, I still haven't gotten to a point where I'm updating fairly often, sorry. Things have been crazy in my life lately, and I haven't had much energy to find something interesting to blog about.

I still don't really, just thought I'd leave a short BB update.

So, Angie, my fave houseguest, is gone. She got voted out two weeks ago actually. Jesse is also gone. Poor Dan had to go back on his word because he was America's Player and America voted Jesse gone. Now Michelle is HOH, the large alliance is split, and Libra and Keesha are up on the block.

Who will go?

Libra, most likely, unless she gets POV. Can't wait to see!
