Pretty Little Liars

So, last week I visited my best friend in Atlanta.  We had a great time.  I hadn't seen her in over a year, since we went to see the Beat Freaks at Monster's of HipHop in Orlando.
Anyway, we spent most of the week just catching up on things and hanging out.  We also watched TV and a couple movies.  Yes, my fair readers, my friend got me hooked on yet another show. Thankfully, this obsession isn't too bad, since the show actually just had its mid-season finale and won't be back until January or something like that.  Anyway, this new show was Pretty Little Liars (yes, I realize that is obvious from the blog title, but ya know, just in case).

Fave TV Lesbian

So, I was on AfterEllen today and saw their list of TV's Hottest Lesbian/Bi doctors ... and DAYUM (come on, Olivia Wilde and Sara Ramirez as the top 2? Well, DUH!)

Of course, as always happens, it is impossible to include all the hot lesbian/bi doctors on the list, although, including Jorja Fox from her ER days was a pleasant surprise, but they skipped Elizabeth Mitchell's Kim, the psych doc that was Weaver's first girlfriend.

Who is your favorite lesbian/bi doctor on television?

Here are just a few of mine:

Olivia Wilde - 13 (House)


Sara Ramirez - Callie Torres (Grey's Anatomy)


Jorja Fox - Maggie Doyle (ER)


Elizabeth Mitchell - Kim Legaspi (ER)

Thursday's Line Up

Hey everyone! I'm back with a preview of the shows coming up soon.

THURSDAY
CSI - 9pm, CBS
Everyone is leaving this show. Jorja Fox left last season, Gary Dourdan's Warrick was shot at the end of the season finale, and now the great William Petersen is leaving, but not before everyone comes back. Sara returns (WOOT!!) to help solve Warrick's murder. Lady Heather returns evenn. We get some new faces too. Laurence Fishburne comes on in an attempt to replace Grissom (will never work out) and Lauren Lee Smith (our beloved soup chef from LWord) joins the cas as a "young and sarcastic" CSI. Two reddish-blonde haired women on one show? Thank you CBS!

Grey's Anatomy - 9pm, ABC
So, I now know why I only recently became obsessed with this show. It comes on the same time as CSI. Thank goodness for ondemand and episodes on the Internet. This time conflict is the only reasonable explanation. I can't wait for this season to start. not much has been revealed about what will happen between Callie and Erica, but ll looks promising with Shonda Rhimes and the actresses meeting with GLAAD representatives. Also, Rhimes has promised that neither of the women will become pregnant anytime soon like a lot of shows decide to do.

ER - 10pm, NBC
Wow. This fall, ER begins its 15th and final season. I think tis show started my fascination with red heads. No one liked Dr. Kerry Weaver, but she was the person everyone answered to. She was a strong female haracter and she was a leader. Oh yea, and she was a lesbian. Weaver met and fell in loved with Dr. Kim Legaspi (Elizabeth Mitchell) (I may have that misspelled). They broke up and then she met Sandy the firefighter. They had a baby. Sandy died and Weaver had to fight Sandy's parents for the baby. I just wish she was coming back, maybe even Kim, instead of just stupid Carter.

Sisters Coming Up on Television

Okay, so, a couple of these shows have already premiered, and I forgot to get the premiere dates for most of them. Here's a preview of what's coming up this fall that I might cover. Today I'll post Sunday through Wednesday, then will continue each day with that day's schedule.

WARNING: THERE MAY BE SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SUNDAY
True Blood - 9pm, HBO
It's a cable show about vampires, I'm sure there will be some sign of someone not being completely heterosexual, don't know much else about this show, but I've always been a fan of supernatural shows. Oh and everyone seems to have a southern accent. Accents are hot.

MONDAY
The Big Bang Theory - 8pm, CBS
I've never watched this, but I loved Darlene and David on Roseanne and apparently the two are reuniting. Also, Sara Gilbert is an out lesbian on television, all the more reason to wach. we need to keep LGBT people on television as long as possible.

Terminator - 8pm, FOX
Two women kicking ass and taking names in an effort to save a guy, one of which is Lena Heady, the wonderful Luce from Imagine Me & You. Women in tank tops are hot.

How I Met Your Mother - 8:30pm, CBS
Alyson Hannigan. 'Nough said. There's also good ol' Doogie Howser, Neil Patrick Harris. There hasn't been much LGBT characters on the show, just Harris playing a manwhore.

TUESDAY
House - 8pm, FOX
So, Cut-throat Bitch is dead and Wilson hates House because he blames him for Amber's death. An extended preview for next weeks premiere show some very interesting scenes between 13 (Olivia Wilde) and a female patient. I just hopw Mischa Barton doesn't play the patient. Oh, and it looks like House and Cuddy will finally hook-up.

Fringe - 9pm, FOX
A television series by J.J. Abrams? I have to watch at least the first episode. Alias was pretty awesome. I became obsessed with Lost almost immediately after watching one episode. also, I want to see what part that one guy thats in everything Abrams does has.
This premiered yesterday.

Law & Order: SVU - 10pm, NBC
Unfortunately, there is no longer any subtext between Olivia and any woman. Olivia and Alex were hot, especially when Olivia was butch and always wearing tank tops. I haven't watched this much, but they sometimes have awesome guest stars. If only Alex could come back.

WEDNESDAY
Wednesday is going to be a tough day. it seems like all the shows are on at the same exact time.

The New Adventures of Old Christine - 8pm, CBS
Same-sex marriages are now legal in California and Christine is taking full advantage of it. Apparently, Christine and her best friend, Barb, get married so Barb can stay in the US. wonder how long it'll last, especially if the ruling gets overturned.

America's Next Top Model - 8pm, CW
11 seasons of ANTM and this one has some surprises. There's one girl who doesn't like labels, but has admitted to having relations with another woman, and rumor has it, she makes out with another contestant on a dare. The biggest surprise? This season includes the shows first transgendered contestant.

Bones - 8pm, FOX
I've always wanted to get into this show, but always forget when it is on. I've heard one character, I believe Angela, has admitted to a relationship with a woman and rumors are flying around that this mystery woman will show up this season.

Knight Rider - 8pm, NBC
The new Knight Rider was originally premiered as a television movie and hinted at a character being lesbian or at least bisexual. She goes home to a naked woman in her bed. So far, there's no news on whether her character will remain lesbian and unfortunately its not looking too good.

Private Practice - 9pm, ABC
SO, I know you guys have probably already realized that I love Grey's Anatomy. It would only make sense that I like the spin-off as well, right ? Well, I've never actually seen the spin-off, but I do love Kate Walsh as Addison Montgomery. She was just the right amount of bitchy sarcasm and a heart. her voice drives me insane. Oh, and if it weren't for her one episode reappearence on Grey's last season, Callie might have never considered a relationship with Erica.

Sons of Anarchy - 10pm, FX
I'm actually watching this right now. I had seen a preview for tonight's episode and it looked like there might be some girl on girl action between Katey Segal (Married with Children, 8 Simple Rules) and another character.

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.

Witchy Wednesday

How many of you knew right away that Willow and Tara were going to end up together?
How many of you rejoiced when the two of them were finally shown kissing after Buffy's mother died?


How many of you were pissed and/or cried when shots rang out and Tara was gone?


I raised my hand for every single one of those questions.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was one of the first shows I was ever obsessed with, and boy was I obsessed. My walls were covered in pictures from magazines, posters, and postcards. My bookshelf was filled with every single BtVS book there was (even now I am not missing many). I had the VHS box sets, I videotaped episodes so I could watch them over and over again. I pre-ordered the first season on DVD and bought all but one of the seasons as soon as it came out (my parents bought one for Christmas). I have three soundtracks, I have the original (kinda crappy) movie. I have some of the old comic books (and would still kill for the new ones).

BtVS was the first show in which I saw a happy lesbian couple, close to my age, that I could actually relate to. Neither Willow nor Tara were the prettiest or the most popular. Willow was a geek and Tara just seemed shy, kind of an outcast, even within the affectionately named "Scooby Gang", Tara was kind of an outcast until after Buffy died.

Tara and Willow were meant for each other though, no doubt about it. I mean, Willow went all dark and veiny after Tara was shot.


Even when the two of them broke up, due to Willow's excessive magic us and erasing Tara's memory (as well as everyone else's, have to admit, HILARIOUS episode), they got back together.

Tara: Things fall apart. They fall apart so hard.
Willow: Tara?
Tara: You can't ever put 'em back the way they were.
Willow: Are you okay?
Tara: I'm sorry, it's just... You know, it takes time. You can't just have coffee and expect...
Willow: I know.
Tara: There's just so much to work through. Trust has to be built again on both sides. You have to learn if - if we're even the same people we were. If you can fit in each others lives. It's a long and important process, and can we just skip it? C-Can you just be kissing me now?

These two showed that a relationship, even a lesbian couple, can survive the ups and downs (not counting the last down). Yes, they were fictional characters created by the genius that is Joss Whedon, but they had real problems and went through real-life situations. They showed me that love can really happen, that souls mates just may actually exist.

Willow and Tara restored my faith in the power of love.



Also, new poll at bottom of page. Who is your favorite tv lesbian couple, excluding all L Word couples?
