Sapphic Sunday:

If you find yourself not knowing what to do on a cold and rainy Sunday (or any other day of the week…) then watching movies or television series and/or web series is an excellent choice – unless of course you want to take care of the dishes or do some cleaning or maybe the laundry….

Right… So back to the entertainment :-)

What do you do when you figure out that you don’t want to see another mainstream movie or series because you haven’t had time to catch up on all the stories you wanted to that have lesbian content?
If you realize that you’ve not watched the latest in the development of the Otalia storyline or maybe haven’t watched the entire Pepsi storyline or haven’t even started on the Starla storyline yet, then there’s hope my friend.
The same goes if there are certain movies you might have heard of, but are not sure if you actually want to see them.
Or if you just want to see some fan made tribute videos to the above mentioned stories.
Or vlogs or commercials or...

Well obviously it takes time to search the Internet for all that information. So it’s a really good thing that someone already came up with the idea to gather all these videos at one place:



So if you didn’t already know about this website then you really need to go and check it out.
And enjoy your Sunday :-)

Sapphic Sunday:

Since I've been really idle lately (okay maybe not idle anywhere else except for this blog) I haven't had time to really think about what I wanted to post for this Sunday.

I haven't been spending a whole lot of time on the websites I usually spent my time before; like YouTube or AfterEllen.

Instead I go through kind of a schedule while I'm online. And besides websites like Twitter (which I usually read just not at the same time as everybody else...or so it seems at times), icanhascheezburger and Cake Wrecks (more about that one later...) I go to a specific website:

eurOut.


Let me give you a few quotes:

"eurOut: Visibility of lesbian and bisexual women in Europe".

"Whether with humour or seriousness, Europe’s only website of its kind, is not afraid to pay attention to injustice and to openly criticize it, but it doesn’t forget the fun of being gay either."

“Europe is very gay!” the eurOut team says, “It’s time for people to realize that.”

So what I'm aiming at is that if you aren't already paying attention to this website...then you need to go and check it out!

Happy Sunday.

This Just Out with Liz Feldman.

Funny. Adorable. And very very gay :-).

A lot of guests have visited Liz Feldman in ‘her’ kitchen. Like:

Emily Deschanel Season 1, episode 5:

More Lesbian Entertainment & Video


Clementine Ford Season 2, episode 4:

More Lesbian Entertainment & Video



Bridget McManus Season 2, episode 5 (season finale):

More Lesbian Entertainment & Video



Tegan and Sara Part 1. Season 3, episode 4:

More Lesbian Entertainment & Video

Part 2


See I was gonna say that Tegan made the most appearances in TJO (one by herself, and two with Sara), but that only makes 3.

Someone else made 4.

Kate Moennig:
The very first episode, the 6th episode of the first season, the 1st episode of the third season and the grand finale - the final episode of TJO.

But also Clea Duvall, Erin Daniels, Rose Rollins, Uh Huh Her (anybody see a patern here...?), Erin Foley and Rachel Cantu…..and a few others….have visited the kitchen.


For more Liz Feldman you could always watch Shack Talk.


Happy Sunday.

Dara & Karman’s Hitlist

I used to spend a lot of time at AfterEllen but lately I’ve been a bit more preoccupied and as a result of that I don’t have time to watch more than a few vlog’s at the site.

One of them is Dara & Karman’s Hitlist.

I love the chemistry that’s between these two and my sense of humor is a lot like theirs, so I enjoy watching the vlog.

Here’s their take on “Lesbian Hangouts” (eps. 15)
More Lesbian Entertainment & Video


“Lesbian Sterotypes” (eps. 11)
More Lesbian Entertainment & Video


You can also watch Things Every Lesbian Should Know or how about Girls With Guns or Characters We Wish Were Real or a lot of other episodes (currrently it's 28 episodes).

Enjoy your Sunday.

Sapphic Sunday:

Nikki and Nora.

Starring Liz Vassey and Christina Cox


Nikki and Nora part 1


Part 2


Part 3


Part 4



It’s one of those shows I would have loved to see more of. Unfortunately it never got past the pilot.

In 3way there was a little spoof of the show-that-was-nearly-there called LadyCops. Spoofs are often funny, but when the actors that do the spoof are the ones that did the original show it’s hilarious. And both actresses do a very good job. But it was a part of the ongoing storyline in 3way and never a standalone episode, so I was pleased when I saw this tweet:



And here’s the full episode (of course it’s divided in two….)

LadyCops part 1


LadyCops part 2

(But it's still part of 3way ;-) )

Sapphic Sunday:

Jill Bennett



She was in a vlog with Karman Kregloe at AfterEllen called We’re Getting Nowhere that began as re-caps of South of Nowhere. The first episode was without Dara Nai (I think Jill Bennett initially filled in for Dara Nai), but she joined them for the next episode. But they also re-capped The L Word, ANT and vlogged about some other things. They had guest appearances by different people like Sarah Warn, Bridget McManus, Liz Feldman, Jane Lynch, Elizabeth Keener and others



She played Andrea in 3way - the hottest lesbian comedy NOT on TV. 3way also stars Maeve Quinlan, Cathy Shim and Maile Flanagan.





She also writes and makes video blogs for SheWired.

If you want more information go to her webpage where you also can see episodes of the webseries We Have To Stop Now with Jill Bennett and Cathy DeBuono or read about the movie And Then Came Lola

And Then Came Lola

Law & Order:

Yes I'm sticking to my crime shows.

The only series of Law & Order that actually airs in Denmark is Law & Order: Criminal Intent. But although I like Goren and Eames as a team none of them are Detective Olivia Benson. Alright it's a totally different series of Law & Order. Law & Order: SVU - or Special Victims Unit.

Olivia Benson is portrayed by Mariska Hargitay:











I've currently only seen most of season 1, which means so far no Alex Cabot, but I've had the pleasure of watching Angie Harmon (who I told you about a few Sundays ago). She played ADA Abbie Carmichael.

Sunday, June 28, 2009

Sapphic Sunday:

She has played a number of roles. Like Gwen DeMarco, Dana Barrett, Ripley...

I am talking about Sigourney Weaver.








Need I say more?

Aliens (the second movie)



Galaxy Quest

Last night Ghostbusters was on television. I always liked Ghostbusters 2 the best. But that was mostly because of this scene:

Ghostbusters II (Statue of Liberty scene)


Enjoy your Sunday :-)

Sapphic Sunday:

From another great show with a catchy theme (although you might know this version better), which has expanded into spin-offs, novels, comics and video games I give you...
The lovely ladies of CSI (Las Vegas) - well some of them:


















She also plays Nikki in Nikki and Nora. That's a show I would have liked to see more of. A parody called Lady Cops was made in 3way starring Liz Vassey as Mikki.







And just because I think she's done a pretty amazing job as Lady Heather
Melinda Clarke:


She also plays Julie Cooper in O.C.


Enjoy your Sunday :-)

Sapphic Sunday:

I appreciate strong female characters in books/movies/series…..
And I especially like strong female detectives/cops/PI’s/investigators/reporters…erhm…whoever solves the crime…

Some books turn into great television series or movies. Others don’t and should probably just stay as books *cough* Camilla Läckberg *cough*.

Somehow when I read James Patterson’s books about Lindsay Boxer I could easily imagine Angie Harmon in the leading role.

I like the character of Lindsay Boxer, but I also like that the books (and the show) are about all the women in the Womens Murder Club.

I haven’t watched more than 3 episode of the first (and only) season, but so far I like it.












But this wasn’t the first time I adored Angie Harmon as a detective. I sure didn’t watch Baywatch Nights because of David Hasselhoff…





And finally: Here picture from Allure Magazine May 2008

Enjoy your Sunday :o)

Sapphic Sunday:

It's no secret that I like Julie Andrews.

The woman has had an amazing career as an actress, a singer and an author.

And she's a Dame.

Just some highlights:

The Hills are alive...


...with the...


...Sound of Music


Mary Poppins


At the Oscars with Audrey Hepburn


In Camelot


Victor/Victoria


The Princess Diaries


Shrek


She may have begun her career in 1945 but she's still going strong.

And she still looks amazing.


Have a great Sunday :o)

Sapphic Sunday:

I like crime. Well, the fictional kind anyway. Or rather I like the crime solvers. In the books, the movies or the TV shows. It really doesn’t matter whether it’s a male or a female lead in the story as long as it’s well written and somewhat realistic. But that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate when the women ‘step up to the plate’.
Like the women of NCIS.



Kate - Caitlin Todd (Sasha Alexander):






Jenny Shepard aka the Director (Lauren Holly)






Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette):






I want to be Abby. The brains. The skills. The gadgets! [Have I ever told you how much I love gadgets? Plus I have a 'thing' for forensic science as well. And history - but that doesn't really seem to fit in here ;o)]

And Ziva David (Cote de Pablo).




I <3 Ziva. Really! That girl can kick some a**!

And she sings too ;o)


And this is a song performed (and written) by Pauley Perrette


Both songs are (exclusively) on the official NCIS soundtrack.

Do you watch NCIS?
