Joy Behar pwns Elisabeth Hasselbeck on The View

By Grace Chu in Non L Word TV, Vacuous bitches

We all know Elisabeth Hasselbeck is just one echelon above Jersey Shore’s Snooki in the “playing with a full deck” department, so we’re not going to talk about her. Instead, we’re going to give Joy Behar a round of applause for saying something intelligent about women coming out later in life.

The Phelps clan is completely, totally batshit crazy – and obsessed with Lady Gaga

By Grace Chu in Music, Weird / WTF

You’ve read about the Westboro Church protests outside of the Lady Gaga concert this weekend. Did you know that earlier this year, Fred Phelps’s granddaughter Megan Phelps made some videos in which she sings twisted and truly fucked up covers of Lady Gaga songs? I think she’s secretly a fan. This is not to say that these video aren’t abhorrent – they are. They will most certainly melt your brain. In fact, there is a decent chance you might end up a vegetable after watching these.

As I was returning home from dinner I received a text message informing me that lesbian Turkish oil wrestling would be taking place six blocks from my house in half an hour, so of course I had to show up.

New Lesbian Web Series “That’s What She Said”

By Grace Chu in Blogs

Another portrayal of lesbians living in L.A., you say? Here’s the deal: The L Word and The Real L Word are played out in the alternate universe of Los Angeles where Asian Americans don’t exist. (And where lesbians in general are dysfunctional and tiresome.) Here’s a lesbian web series based in L.A. with an all Asian-American cast. You’re welcome.

The Grace the Spot Lady Gaga @ Madison Square Garden Live Blog

By Grace Chu in Events, Music

We liveblogged the epic Lady Gaga show at Madison Square Garden. The ground literally shook. It was unbelievable. Gaga shouted out the gays, repeatedly. Ellie Conant kept screaming like a little girl. Nell Stark and Trinity Tam looked like they had inhaled an ungodly amount of crack, and post gaming continued the Gaga onslaught! EXTREME!!!

I Tried To Write The Real L Word Dictionary Part 2 and Failed – and This is Why

By Grace Chu in Real L Word

I tried sitting through episode two. I couldn’t do it. And this is coming from someone who slogged through and recapped the entire 23rd season of The Real World and recapped this episode of The Bad Girls Club. I thought there was no television program out there that was too mindnumbingly stupid for me. I was wrong.

Pride, baby, pride! Where I’ll be in NY Pride. Where I’ve been. And where YOU should be.

By Grace Chu in Pride

Whereas The Real L Word seems intent in sparking some sort of lame East Coast / West Coast rivalry, real real lesbians would rather not re-enact a lesbian version of the Death Row / Bad Boy beef of the late 1990s. Real lesbians are all about bi-coastal love, as you will see from this years NYC Pride events for women. Are we sick of the word “real” yet? For real!

The Real L Word Dictionary, Part 1

By Grace Chu in Featured, Real L Word, The L Word

We learned so many things about real lesbians last night on The Real L Word. We learned that in order to love women in a non-douchebaggy way, you have to be a douchebag. Also, New York City lesbians have “working hands” and are not polished. And what is “The Power of the Clam” and “pants and pumps”? So complicated! So much to learn! We try to simplify things for you.
