    The L Word

    Ok, funny, if neurotic, show. Which is exactly why so much of our social circle is gay. Gay Men? Outside of fashion speak, funny and concerned about interesting things. Gay women? Love to get out and always on our social calendar.

    One thing though…, with rare exception, lesbians I encounter aren’t quite so “bisexual-hetro-babes-gone-wild”. Where are the short haired, big-boned girls with their adopted Asian girls? It suggests that a large portion of the audience is guys looking for sneak-peak of attractive girls grinding, or L-girls wishing their partner wasn’t a large beastie…..I know, TV is fantasy meant to entertain, but how about one, small bridge to reality? If it’s just fantasy, why not just give them wings and make small, furry lesbian hobbits….?
