She’s Done it Again, She’s Managed It – The L Word, Like the Cat, Has Nine Times to Die

But we fell in love with these characters in 2004 not because they self-mutilated or had fancy jobs on movie sets or had stalker/assistants or appeared on billboards; we loved them because they reminded us of us … just hotter, and living in West Hollywood. It was like our lives but burning a little brighter, and sexier, and richer … like most teevee shows are.

Sunshine, Rainbows and Unicorns

I’m putting almost all of my hours & energy & resources right now into making that stuff — the good stuff I’ve gotten out of this show, which is my new friends and connections online and in real life — into a project that I hope will reflect everything positive about our community and encourage intelligent, responsible, entertaining and progressive discourse & art.

Our Private Autostraddle L Word 601 Premiere Party with photos, screenshots & The Best of the First Five Seasons

“The L Word” Season Five Autostraddle RECAP Trailer/Teaser & “Luck be a Lady” Parody
