News, Reviews & Commentary on Lesbian and Bisexual women in Entertainment and the Media

The Lo-Down: Episode 2.3

This week, Sarah P. and I bring you late-breaking (fake) news on lesbian bed death, fashion, tofu, more Lesbian/Woman, and an interview with world-renowned psychic Madam Sophia Moonstar.

In this week's Crock P.O.C. we discuss good and bad lies, when Malinda was "butch" and whether she should get a tattoo, and who we'd put in our hot new lesbian rock band. As always, if you have suggestions for future Crock P.O.C. topics, let us know in the comments!

    Hilarious

    So funny. Too bad the Hackforth-Snikerdoodles couldn't make it work.

    BTW, that song is Evil Woman by E.L.O

    HA-HA

    So, Madame Moonstar is also not a Shenny fan.  Though you have to admit they were cute last week.  

     

     

    if they get together, it maybe lame.  I think they should flirt the rest of their lives and leave it at that.

     Malinda- (I think I finally spelled your name correctly)  I maybe telling a white lie when I say, I like you all buttoned up.

    I remember saying lame as a kid to my brothers.  Your lame.  Malinda and Sarah can bring this word back because it wasn't lame the first time.

    Lo Down!

    I'm not too sporty either, I have attemped to be slammin by playing rugby, a slightly lezzy sport, but it hasn't been too succesfull.

    White lies, although it can be good for one situation if you see the person everyday then you might have to deal with the badness again and again.

    Names

    Hackforth-Snickerdoodle is wonderful, but the best, the very best name in this episode is Virginia Dentata for the bed-death researcher. :) I love that!

    The names y'all come up with for these things are great.

    Great job.....you rock!!

    Great job Malinda and Sarah, another great vlog!! Might I say that you guys have the best vlog on afterellen!! I'll admit it, I watch the Lo- Down each week just to look at your gorgeous faces.  Sarah you are pretty much amazing, and my favorite Sarah on afterellen. Sarah's are going to take over the world. I have the nickname of princess too btw. When I was really little my dad started calling me Princess of Oppossums. Not sure why this came about, but needless to say I hate my nickname very much. Only my family is allowed to call me by that name, but I'd rather they just forget it >:O. Malinda you rock as well!!

    Keeping reading the entertaining passages from Lesbian Woman.  Madame Moonstar should definently make another appearance as well the the president of the Lesbian Union. I can't wait for more hilarious crock poc topics as well.

    Crock poc topic ideas:

    Will Phyllis find her lady love?? Is there a better woman out there for her than Joyce??

     Just what type of lesbian is Phyllis?? Stone butch, lipstick lesbian, etc??

    Futch women why they are going to have the Best. Lesbian. Year. Ever.

    Don't ask, don't tell.....discuss (or maybe have Madame Moonstar predict when this seriously outdated and offensive policy will be done away with)

    Anyways, those are my ideas. Have a great week!!

    You guys are in SF? I'm in

    You guys are in SF? I'm in Berkeley! I wanna come visit!! Lol, JK. I've been in the bay area for a year and a half now and I can count the number of times I've made it into the city on one hand. That's what law school coupled with an internet addiction does to you, lol.

    But I am in full support of a vlog documenting Malinda's first ever tattoo and Sarah's seventh or whatever number it would be.

    Sarah, the acting skills on you are quite impressive! Madam Sophia was hilarious and very well-portrayed. But I do have two grouses with her: 1) Was that an upside down lampshade she was wearing on her head? and 2) How dare she diss Lourdes Benedicto's mouth?

    Another great vlog guys!

    lonelily's picture

    Don't feel too bad, I'm in

    Don't feel too bad, I'm in Berkeley too and don't really get around to going to SF very often. The only times that I really go is when I'm showing a visiting friend the city. It makes for a far more interesting tour than berkeley does!

    Bay area folks

    Hey, maybe at some point this year we'll have a SF Bay Area AfterEllen meetup, and Sarah Pecora and I can meet some of you guys! There are several AfterEllen writers in the Bay area too, so I think it would be fun.

    And to answer your question, that was an honest-to-goodness padded gold turban, not a lampshade, seriously!

    spotticus's picture

    If you build it, we will come.

    A bay area meetup would be hellacious fun. 
    jamlawgirl's picture

    Bay Area meetup? Yes and

    Bay Area meetup? Yes and yes!
    Ichigo's picture

    Yes Please!

    That would be awesome! Please keep us posted.
    zygomorph's picture

    enthusiastically seconded (fifthed?)

    A Bay Area meetup would be great! I hope you'll mention it in a vlog when it actually comes to fruition--some of us don't skim the forums regularly.

    Evil Woman

    Hey ladies, this is my first time posting here, and I totally love your vlog.

     

    I reckon the tune that Sarah is singing "Lesbian Woman" to is "Evil Woman" by Electric Light Orchestra.  Maybe?  Sounds like that could be it indeed

    spotticus's picture

    "Tuna Melt"?

    I will never be able to look at a lunch menu with a tuna melt listed without thinking about your conversation here.  Hahahaha!   ; )

    Keep reading from Lesbian/Woman.  It is fun watching Sarah try to do interpretive dance to rather droll passages.

    A crock POC suggestion:  Pants Or Cargo (shorts)? discuss.  But I guess cargo shorts could also fall into the fashion don't category as well, which means I will probably be arrested shortly. And given my plaid shirt wardrobe, it looks like life without parole.

    Yes!! A tatoo road show!!!! Go for it!

    And it is amazing that Madam Sophia Moonstar predicted an old white guy will be the republican nominee for president. She has true pyschic powers!  I believe!!!  ; )

    pecola's picture

    Yum!

    I'm a decent cook, but there's an art to making the perfect tuna melt that I just have not managed to achieve yet.

    Crap.

    Now I really want a Tuna Melt.

    "You know youre a Lesbian if..."

    So I go to a college in the middle of nowhere. There is nothing. And by nothing around it I mean there are farms and the Amish. Poor planning, I know. Anyway, some of my friends are also from the middle of no where (I am not) and introduced me to The Blue Collar Comedy Tour. I think it was called. One of my friends likes to say shes "un-culturing" me. yeah. Anywho at one point there is a part called "You know youre a redneck if..." and bored in class I thought of "You know youre a Lesbian if..." and so I started thinking of examples common, or maybe that have just happened to me.

    For example, "You know youre a lesbian if...when trying to decided what schools to apply to your mother suggests becoming a gym teacher"

    "You know youre a Lesbian if...you used to want to be a cowboy when you were little"

    "You know youre a Lesbian if...when that cowboy phase ended the flannel phase did not."

    "You know youre a Lesbian if...youre straight friend asked you what Shane's T-Shirt said but you honestly had no idea (you were a bit preoccupied by Carmen's..attire)"

    ect. (all true btw) anyway, I amused myself and thought maybe if you guys were looking to talk about or add something to the vlog you could do those randomly in the vlog, or ask people to send in some true ones about themselves or friends. *shrug. Just an idea. Loved the vlog this week, as usual. And I completely agree about the cooking. I myself am no master chef...but Im working on it hah..

    p.s. wow I didnt mean to write that much.

    Jess_922's picture

    Tuna Melt..

    I don't even think I know what it is exactly.. how sad.. but my girlfriend cooks. I bet she knows.. I bet she could even make me one! Lol.

     

    Crock P.O.C. Idea - Dani Campbell.. Should she get her own show? (Sorry. I miss seeing her on TV myself)

     

    I crack up everytime I watch this. I finally took the time to actually make an account. Yay!

     

     

    explorergal's picture

    Mmmm, Tunaaaaa Melt

    Ok, who wants to see a photo of Malinda in her 'butch phase'???  ME ME!!!

    OK, now I think you will be cause for a run on the ingredients for a tuna melt in the stores near AfterEllen readers live.  I have to have one!!!!

    Virginia Dentata....HAHAHA is she a colleague of Sonia Areoa?

    Dark Child's picture

    Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha,......

    That Madam Sophia Moonstar is too funny!

    "That old white man is going to win." .....PRICELESS!!!!

    I'm more of a grilled cheese sandwich woman myself. (CHEESE , GLORIOUS CHEESE!)

    P.S. I choked on my juice when I saw those opening scenes! Great stuff.

    cheese

    Oh! What a friend we have in Cheeses!  ; )

    Song

    I believe it's the Eagles - Witchy Woman released in 1972 :)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8o7I7o3OSU

    Great VLOG!!! I, for one, have 4 tattoos and agree Malinda should get one... I think the Tiger arm wrap would be HOT!!!!

    lynsvike's picture

    I beg to differ

    But I think the song is the BeeGee's "More than a Woman."  Although, after listening to the chorus' of both I hear a number of similarities.

    Thanks for another great episode.  I'm all for the tattoo, but only if it's something you feel really comfortable with.  If you go for it, it would make an excellent part of an episode. Kind of like an "on the scene" segment.  Maybe you could even test out the pebble throwing theory.

    Great Vlog

    WTF! I was wearing black framed glasses and a studded belt while watching this.

    No chain wallet though so I only got a warning this time lol.

    Another Great 'Lo-Down'

     I totally love your interpation dances Sarah P. No white lie there. Malinda, you made had a butch  look back in the day but're looking mighty studful todaywith  your long-sleeve black shirt and silver tie,which you rocked it out nicely. I agree with you two on some things about Lesbian Fashion. The wallet chain is still a hot look,sorry.

    I gotta get ready for work but I'll write more later.

    Later has arrived....

    Malinda, please get a tattoo. The tiger tattoo sounds hot n sexy, go for it-it'll be greaaaaat! (lol)

    Still looking hot Sarah P in your stud threads...keep them coming. 

    Please get Madame Sophia Moonstar back for  future vlogs...I couldn't stop laughing! 

    Auditions for Pansies On Crack,oh yeah! Do it! I would like to see future celesbians try out while Sarah P. and Malinda Lo become the Lesbians of a lesbian version of American Idol. OOO a Lesbian version of American idol would be great to hold auditions for Pansies On Crack rock band. (I think you change the band's name if they're going to perform live)

    Did I ever say I would play nice?-Miss Ketina

    Phantom's picture

    Wow, lol

    How do you get across props such as a turban? O_o Heh however I absolutely love Sara's British accent. She really makes it sound posh in a good way.
    And imho Malinda should really go for that tattoo. I mean, tiger is good, tiger is great even. Imagine you'd be born in the year of rooster and... bad joke is baaaad. ;3
    Ichigo's picture

    Then it'd be a different bird

    Hey...

    I was born in the year of the rooster. But since I'm a girl, my mom always told me that I was a phoenix (which is an awesome alternative)... since they're both "birds." Phoenix is also the symbol for female in many Asian cultures.

    So rooster babies don't have to shy away from tattoos! ; )

    Evil/Witchy/More Woman

    Thanks for all your suggestions yet again -- you all crack me up. And apparently the debate on which song Sarah's singing is still up in the air. I'll ask her which one she thinks it is.

    Also I will take all of your opinions on the tattoo under advisement. I'm not feeling the tattoo urge right now, but maybe we'll go to a tattoo parlor anyway ... after all, I'm sure Sarah needs another one!

    I'll never stop wearing my studded belt and chain wallet! NEVAH!

    Cooking & Croc poc suggestions

    Ha ha I'm usually the one who is sober and cooking, though I've never made a Tuna Melt. I would think that my date cooking for me is a requirement. But it's always good ro reciprocate.

     

    Croc poc suggestions:

    - Spice Girls (sporty spice...)

    - what do you do if you accidentally find your roommate's porn lying around, or if not porn... their 'toys'

    fun fun

    awesome Vblog as always ;) hope u keep doing these... they really get me in a better mood when im sad and tired after along day of work..

    about the tattoo thing, dont be afraid ^^ it doesnt hurt tbh.. i just got my first tattoo last sunday.. thing is to get used to the feeling ^^ and btw a tiger on Malinda's arm would suit her SO well and would be really really cool

     

    /Cheers too you all

    Evil Woman Video

    The song was definitely Evil Woman.  Here's a link to a video of it on You Tube:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xphpdgQSOQ

    SlikChik's picture

    Hmm

    That's definitely a good suggestion... sounds more like it too...
    serenityrainbow's picture

    Femme Fashion

    Again great job on the vlog!! I just wanted to add to the discussion about outdated lesbian fashion. Most of the items you mentioned pertained more towards butchier clothing styles. I myself would never wear a studded belt or wallet chain and I don't know any other femmes that would either.  You should discuss fashion don'ts for femmes. It seems like femmes are considered to be fashion foward and wouldn't commit any fashion don'ts, but that's not always the case. I like to hear your stance  on quilted skirts or patterned jumpers. You said that Tevas are a fashion don't, but what about Chakkas?? They are a similar type of sandal. I own a pair of chakkas which are practically the only shoe I wear all summer!! I can wear them with anything :D. I'll never give them up, never!!

    Another idea for a topic would be to discuss lebsian and bisexual women in professional fields or top management positions. I'm majoring in health information managment and would interested to hear about out women in top positions in healthcare.

    Another song suggestion

    Hmm. I know there's already been lots of song suggestions, but I actually thought what Sarah was singing was American woman by the Guess who.

    hmmmm

    Ladies -- i love ya... but i am just not feeling the new format, i miss your former free form snarky goodness...just my humble opinion...
    sarahpecora's picture

    And The Winner Is!!

    Thank you all you astute appreciators of 70's music.

    The song was indeed, Evil Woman by Electric Light Orchestra!

    Well that was a blast from the past. I loved the other guesses because it allowed me a lovely trip along memory lane curtesy of youtube. Witchy Woman was a fine song and More Than A Woman even better. I confess knowing all of the lyrics to MTAW song. It was on Saturday Night Fever afterall - The Tavares sung it soooo much better than the Bee Gees.

    Thank all you groovy, sexy cats for Feeling it with me!
