Two Blogs Are Better Than One?

December 7th, 2009

I’m proud to announce the birth of a new blog I’ve started called Lesbian Of The Day. The basic aim is to feature one famous lesbian a day in order to increase positive visibility of successful, interesting and happy lesbians out there. I know when I was a young dykeling, positive images of lesbians were few and far between and I would have loved a site like this (well, any site really since the internets weren’t around then). Don’t expect any fantastic writing or analysis, I’m just gonna put up a big picture and say a few words.

Here’s the lucky lesbians of the days so far:

Movies To Get Excited About

October 28th, 2008

With my summer holidays from uni only weeks away, I’m looking forward to seeing some great movies over the break and here are a few trailers of upcoming ones that look intriguing!

The Unborn looks like a truly freaky horror movie of old, has that Exorcist or Omen vibe, but with some lovely modern effects thrown in. Also it has Stringer Bell, aka Idris Elba, in it, though I only recognised his voice and not his face.

Let’s Talk About The Ladies…

May 21st, 2007

afterellen are organising their own Top 100 Beautiful Women list after all the publicity that the Maxim one got last week. It will be interesting to see if the lesbian list differs greatly from the Maxim “men’s” list. (I can pretty much guarantee that Lindsay Lohan will not be number one!) After submitting my votes I thought it was a good time to give you my list of the top 10 most gorgeous women according to me! (Also I had a very hot dream about Katee Sackhoff last night).

So… here they are! NB: Jan would of course automatically top this list, but I am restricting it to famous people. Sorry Jan.

10. Famke Janssen

Famke Janssen

She was gorgeous as troubled heroine Jean Grey in X-Men.

9. Eliza Dushku

Eliza Dushku

Mad, bad and dangerous to know on Buffy – no wonder I can’t resist!

8. Sarah Shahi

Sarah Shahi

Ah, Carmen de la Pica Morales! No woman would ever really leave a brick house like you at the altar as Shane did in the L Word.

7. Jackie Warner

Jackie Warner

Star of reality tv show Work Out, she may be the fittest lesbian in the world. What’s the difference between a straight girl and a lesbian? Jackie Warner.

6. Amber Benson

Amber Benson

As shy witch Tara on Buffy, she seemed like she has a lot of hidden depths, and absolutely gorgeous lips!

Life’s Pretty Straight Without…

January 16th, 2006

…a new gay girl tv show addiction! And yes folks, I’ve found a good one. It’s a new US cable teen show called South of Nowhere, and the main character is a teenage girl questioning her sexuality and having an intense relationship with her best friend. It’s great! I have downloaded all the episodes from here and am now completely hooked.

To celebrate, here is the Which South of Nowhere character are you? quiz!

Ashley

Family insanity? Dramatic relationships? You’ve been through it all, and now you’ve stopped letting that stuff get to you. Your ultimate life goal, for this week at least, is to find people who appreciate you for you, not for who you’ve dated or how you dress. You’ll wear the mini-est of mini skirts without feeling self-conscious, but the thought of attending a school function gives you nightmares. You use sarcastic criticism as a way to keep people distant, because if they get close, they might discover you’re not as certain about everything as you pretend to be.

Xena & GabrielleDid you know that the recently discovered 10th planet in the solar system has been named “Xena”? A temporary name until a final one has been decided on. Even better, scientists have just discovered that Xena has a moon, which they have named “Gabrielle”.

How romantic! I vote that they keep those names permanently!

Read all about it.

Why Am I The Gay Nerdy One?

September 23rd, 2005

You scored as Willow Rosenberg. You are a very smart individual. Though, like everyone else, you’ve made mistakes. You’ve changed over the last few years, so have a lot of things in your life, but you’ve got great friends who love you and are there for you through anything.

Lesbians Reunite!

June 15th, 2005

Unlikely Lesbians

Good news, Maia and Jay are back together on Shortland Street. Seems that now Jay has discovered her one night stand with Norman did NOT result in a child (score one for realism), she regrets it all immensely.

Jay agrees not to rush off and do stupid things “if you agree to tell me what’s going on in that beautiful head of yours”.

Triple yay:

a) they are back together

b) despite gloomy predictions neither is now straight or celibate

c) no boring lesbian baby storyline – yawn – can’t lesbians do ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT REPRODUCE!!
