We must keep the memory of The Real L Word alive. Would love to read your thoughts on Curl Girls, a contemporaneous one-season reality show where Jenny Shimizu hosts a lesbian surf competition. There is a Mikey-esque lesbian who only wears Adidas track suits complete with a sweat headband.
BRB, scrapping my dissertation to start a new one about lesbian representation on reality TV in the early 2010s. This is a MUST WATCH clearly. jenny shimizuuu.......
Maddy how did you learn about this show?? absolutely off the rails that the first major lesbian reality tv show aired in the middle of the L Word and prominently featured surfing.
i am now also finding fellow logo show Gimme Sugar thru this show?? about lesbians opening competing nightclubs??? i promise these are both on the list
In college circa 2011! This girl I was hooking up with wanted to watch it-- I think I had just watched the Real L Word. We tracked it down on Megavideo or some similar website, but I'm delighted that both this and Gimme Sugar (had never heard of this before) are both on available to stream on Logo.
incredible. the real moby dick for me is this show called TRANSform Me which featured trans women (including Laverne Cox and Jamie Clayton) giving cis women makeovers. cant find it anywhere
finished this show a couple months ago and my gf and I still talk about it every day..this made me laugh out loud at many points bc it’s really what we screamed about when watching and it felt so good to relive in this format...this is important work thank you xoxo
have not watched this since 2010 pirating on my laptop with my high school best friend yet it all comes rushing back. how could i have forgotten about power of the clam!!! also i do think of whitney every time there is a new white girl with dreads on survivor - which is once about every three seasons up to modern day for some reason.
looking forward to/dreading when you get to the creamed corn wrestling!
I laughed aloud. I love this. That show is so bad and i have wanted to discuss my opinions but waited too long to watch it so everyone had moved on. But, now!
keep em long we love the detail!!
i may have no choice

That’s nuts about survivor yet it also tracks. Yes, the creamed corn is iconic!
I watched the Real L Word for the first time from Dec 2019 to late Feb 2020.. a chilling lead in to the pandemic honestly. 🫢
Haha oh god
