We're Getting Nowhere: "The L Word" Season 1, "Let's Do It"

Sometimes our L Word cup runneth over. This was one of those weeks. In just one little episode, the weighty topics of vaginal rejuvenation, gaydar, and lesbian stalkers are explored at length. Dara, Jill, and I are all too happy to go along for the ride.


In this episode of WGN, we discuss lesbian footwear and reenact Alice's visit to a certain clinic and Jenny's obsessive replaying of Marina's messages on her answering machine (with our own twist, of course).

The puppets are back again, this time breaking down the semiotics of lesbianism. Which sounds a lot smarter than it actually is.

I totally agree. I love it

I totally agree. I love it :D

And Lara IS totally cute.

And I have long, manicured nails and I regularly wear open toed, high heel sandals... Does this make me not gay? lol

Oh also, I think Jill qualifies as a 'nice, hot girl' LOL

I just had a nicoise salad.

I just had a nicoise salad. It was good. I like tuna!

Anyway, I just realized I was so eager to comment about my salad so I missed the last part (after the song).. so I'm going to watch that now, after I say:

You guys are TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Funny! quoting all the good lines would be 10 pages so I won't ;)

* also there are too many so I can't remember them anyway

Worse Gaydar

 Just finished watching the vlog, and I definitely have terrible gaydar! I can usually pick out the guys but with the girls, blah, blind folf me and you'll get the same results!

Also, Sarah Shahi does appear until the first ep of season 2 and then comes the best character EVER! HELENA!!!!

Awesome vlog. counting down the days until the next one. Lataz.

Soooo gay...

I own two pairs of shoes. One pair of black lace up men's shoes for work. And one pair of lace up sneakers - also men's.

I know a Gabby... thank goodness I never dated her!

And I'm sure that the four-step cleaning process was describing in an earlier V-log. One of the earlier South of Nowhere ones in fact I think....

Nope I was wrong... it was ANTM Ep 9.8 the one with Lori... because she was describing her cleaning process as well.

I love this episode of The L Word :)

Great vlog ladies!

Great vlog!!

Funny as always, I have to say my favorite Dana/Lara moment was that locker scene...so cute! Btw...loved the phone messages "reenactment"...I couldn't stop laughing!!
Alien_Queen's picture

Bringing the Funny

That was one of my fave WGN's. Fabulous work, ladies. I particularly loved the reenactment of Jenny listening to Marina's messages. Oh, and Dara & Karman playing Beavis & Butthead ("glory hole!" ) were supremely hilarious.
Omega II's picture

Hehehe.

Great reenactments, stories from Jill and Dara,  and puppet pointing.

Fav Lines-

Dara: Vag lift.

Jill: Now here it is, for you, in all it's glory... hole.

Karman: Contouring, cash only.

ATTN: Dara Nai

I thought it was so funny how for every example or joke Dara knew someone who did it in real life! That was priceless

I really love the hat Dara wore in the "gaydar" reenactment...can I order that online? Dara if you read this please let me know, seriously I WANT THAT HAT!

O and thanx for making it longer this week, even though we'll never get enough lol

lol, awesome...

And Dara you seem to know a lot of weird and crazy people :)

I loved the Dana-Lara chemistry in the first season, they were so damn cute!

Lauren's picture

My gosh. Jill looks sooooo

My gosh. Jill looks sooooo beautiful in this.

I mean, she always does, but when I saw this I was like WOW.

And that green shirt suits her so much. It makes her look even hotter! ;)

I'm slightly obsessed... Leaving now...

What I heart

I heart the new Dana sock puppet....so cute.

The Jenny answering machine reenactment was very funny and/or disturbing.

Also, Karman I heart your sneakers.

30 mins =]

i was happy to see it lasts 30 mins this week, no-one can get enough. Jill looked sooo hot but then again when doesnt she! Great vlog and sooo funny =] isit sad that i anticipate WGN and wait excitedly refreshing the page every thurs, oh well i dont care because it totally makes my week

 Also i think that as a gay woman my gaydar is not that good, i attempt to read body language and look for physical signs but i still assume all girls are straight, i think its because i made the mistake of hitting on a girl that said she was flattered but unfortunatly straight, so that knocked my gaydar confidence, + i could of sworn i was right

Katy's picture

Ahhh the smell of burning hair

I like how by switching Dara to be in the middle allowed her to talk a lot more as she is the center. She also apparently has a vast knowledge of the most random things. I love all the reenactments. When Jill/Dana said "Where? Point to her" in the gaydar scene, I half expected Karman/Alice to say "I'm a puppet, I don't have any fingers!"

WGN is keeping me alive through this boring boring summer, can't wait for more.

shoes

i have converse, birkenstocks, and dr. martins.

hmmmm

thanks for the laughs ladies!

ai minha nossa

I could watch a whole episode of you talking about Dana and Lara, i think they are not only my favourite couple on the l word, but my ultimate favourite couple. 

i miss so much those days when the character i liked was happy and didn't just die.... ¬¬

"Comfort is gay" Best line!

"Comfort is gay" Best line!

Love watching you guys. I didn't even start watching The L Word until I saw your Season 5 recaps on here. And now it's one of my fave shows. Thanks guys. Can't wait for the next episode!

Loved the Lori impressions at the end!

Cristina's picture

Guilty...

.. yes, i'm one of those clueless lesbians that have no gaydar... for women... I can spot a gay man with my eyes closed (even the closeted ones), but women not even with a short stick. It's terrible. I want a refund for my gaydar!! It's broken!! I'm sure there was a mix up in delivery, and there's a gay man somewhere with my gaydar (as I have his). If you read this, get in touch with me!! I'll swap it gladly.

gay dar

I have pretty amazing gay dar! but for some reason half the time people think im straight at the club i don't know why cause im a BiG HOMO :P Keep rockin the vlogs

 

and i was like , ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

something_more77's picture

so now that i've watched it...

AND IT ROCKEDDDD.  i'm in love. waiting a week for new episodes feels like an eternity. this totally made my entire day. In the next episode I think you should go into more detail with the gaydar thing. My gaydar is horrible with women. I can't tell for the life of me. Give some more pointers please!!

Great Vlog!

I really did love the first season as well, so early in the show but already such great chemistry between the characters. Great acting and i love that WGN is doing the vlog on it. Really takes me back, but through different eyes and with reenactments :D.

Oh and i own, Doc Martins, Timberlands, Birkenstocks and Converse, in fact thats all ive worn since my mom let me start choosing my own shoes at the age off 11. How flippin gay does that make me.....??

Alice Cullen's wife's picture

Super fun vlog!

My family has been in town for like two weeks and i'm still in the closest so the lack of gay has been driving me insane!!! Finally, the house is quiet and I can enjoy some good old fashion (gay) fun!!!!

Its so much watching you guys relive the first season, I started watching it myself...

Berna's picture

The reenactments

were great and spot on! Especially the Marina and Jenny one. I remember making fun with my friends about the robotic voice of Marina when she left those messages, lol. Loved Jill's expression change with every message, hee.

Thank you for another great and funny vlog and for bringing back some good memories, like fantastic Dana and Lara and their great chemistry. Good times, sigh.

keep on making me happy! Welcome back Karmen, I'm sure you taped this before Paris but I know you must have had the time of your life. I am sure gaydar is much harder in LA, Peace to all.

Did anyone else find themselves involuntarily cringing as Dara told "The Stitches" story?  :s

Thanks for the weekly entertainment!  Awesome as always.

Any road is a good road when you don't know where you're going.

The Lesbicon


My favorite new word from The L Word has always been "Cris-pay!" Heh. Dana made me laugh every time. You three are so right, she did dork better than anybody.
Penny_Lane's picture

I loved the "Cris-pay" line,

I loved the "Cris-pay" line, she pulled it off great. And that also reminds me of another favorite line of mine from alice and her "this taste like poopie-shit" line.

*sigh*

 

Dara...you know some weird people. Had to be said.

Loved the re-enactments, you guys are just soooo funny. I can't wait for the next one

P.S what happened to Jill cleaning??lol.

Lunakiss's picture

Please Keep Doing The Reenactments

I love it when you do reenactments. They are so hilarious! Whoever was the voice  of Marina for the reenenactment was hilarious. Jill's facial expressions were priceless. Great job!

I agree the best lines always come from this vblog. Love it!

Gaby's picture

Loved the reenactments!

All my shoes are REALLY gay, but I love to get mani/pedis just cause it makes it easier for me.

Jill/Jenny´s reactions to Marina´s messages were awesome. And the Dana/Lara kiss was so sweet, it is one of the best kisses I´ve seen

Thinking of getting my hips replaced. My hips are fine, but I'll be one step closer to becoming a machine.'s picture

i have no gaydar either,

i have no gaydar either, male or female and i have no clue when someone is flirting with me or someone else. just nickname me hopeless.

 

cause the best thing in life is chicks

i live in flip-flops and

i live in flip-flops and don't own one pair of tennis shoes, now what does that say? :)
monica_ca's picture

That you live...

...in a warm climate?

Or perhaps Alaska, and you just find frostbite crazily erotic....hmm... 

SpecialK7's picture

Flip Flops

I live in them too (no Birkenstocks or Tevas though!!) - or just bare feet. Defintely the warm climate thing (lived in South Florida, now in Southern California) and when I lived in the Northeast, I wore flip flops (in two inches of snow) and somewhat feminine boots.

I only bought non-athletic sneakers - Pumas - after I came out. I do have athletic sneakers which I ONLY wear when I work out.
