Brunch With Bridget: "Brunch with Butches"

Snarky AfterEllen.com writer and We're Getting Nowhere vlogger Dara Nai guests on this week's Brunch With Bridget to give Bridget — and you — advice about how to be more butch.

But the joke's on Dara when she finds out that Bridget only invited her over to do some home repairs (and re-enact a scene from Bound).

    Bridget and Brunch w/ Dara

    Yes, it was nice to see Dara and her personality more because on We're getting nowhere I always think she talks less than Jill and Karman but she still has witty remarks without saying as much (thats just my take on it). Anyways...very enjoyable and I loved Bridget's little vegetarian joke because I'm sure I would get sick if anyone slipped me meat and I loved when Dara said she was a tool, that was great. Dry humor is fantastic. As a side note-Bridget gets hurt often and its really sad but she's kind of a funny spaz. And I loved meeting them all, they're INCREDIBLY nice and all very attractive people, they all look amazing in person. Overall-great brnch and nice people make me happy.

    woho Bridget AND Dara! :)
    Jenya's picture

    Finally!

    Dara is on BWB! I loved it. I wish i could light a match the way you did Dara but if i try it i may hurt myself. I'm always hitting myself with or on something, like Bridget. :)

     

    ck's picture

    ha, i didnt know this comes

    ha, i didnt know this comes up on sat night ... i guess its technically sunday

     

    thanks for the laughs one more time ... and i do hope Dara managed to fix your sink ... if the plunger doesnt work... well... then you have to resort to dismantling the underside/pipes to take out the huge hairball thats in there lol ... i know this not because am the butchest, but because i did grow up in Eastern europe, where back in the day you fixed it all yourself.

     

    hope your finger is getting better ...wait, i have a Butch sounding story for that as well: i cut off the whole tip of my left middle finger with 10" radial arm saw in 2002 (the machine was defective), but no worries, the wonders of surgeons - they attached it back on, so i dont have a stubby! i was operating that type of machinary in architecture school for a project, not because i love cutting wood... and i avoid power tools ever since!

     

    hmmm, those two stories clasify me as butch, though i tried to 'deny' the allegations ... i think i like to walk the fine line between butch and femme - wht the term for that?

    oh and look, i like to talk a lot - guess thats the unbutchy me LoL

    oh, and i love a discussion about what in means to be butch and femme in SF vs LA...

    Gergana's picture

    Eastern Europe

    Well I have to tell you you are right. I'm Eastern European we still do things by ourselfs I have to be realy desperate to call someone to fix something at home. Actually I try fixing my toilet with a metal hanger last week thats why I was laughing so bad when I so Dara use the hanger. It didn't work either
    ck's picture

    haha

    Zdravei Gergana,

    i am actually from the same country that you are from ;) ... so I am not surprized @ your answer.

    I Caught fire's picture

    I think the term is futch.

    I think the term is futch. Hahaha. Dani Campbell kind of coined it.
    Nothing's picture

    The term "futch"

    was around before Dani Campbell was even born.
    The Sci-Fi Bard's picture

    "Futch"? "Bemme"? or just "Handy With A Hammer"?

    I don't know what I'd be classed as - I'm training to be a carpenter/joiner/furniture maker, but I have the big boobs thing going on so I have the femme figure...

    I re-tiled our kitchen, made a built-in cabinet under our bathroom sink, am making a workbench in my spare time (to make even more projects with wood on!) and hand-made shelves for our spare room. I love to fix things and find out how things work, which I think I get from my Dad (bless him - he's 70+!) but I have also been known to glam up for an evening out and break out the lippy and handbag too!

    Btw, if anyone needs any tools, I have SEVERAL toolboxes full for you to peruse at your leisure ;-) Not forgetting the powertools - the mitre/chop saw, the fret saw, the belt/disc sander, the biscuit jointer, the piller drill etc etc etc

    As for labels, I think I'll go for the "Butch with a side salad of Femme" for the time being....

    {{{hugs}}}

    TSFB

    p.s. someone buy Bridget one of those inflatable Sumo wrestler outfits! That way she can wear it all the time and not damage herself so much ;-) Plus, it'd be fun to watch her boing off stuff! LOL!

    emongi07's picture

    Brunch with Butches hahahahahaha! Awesome!

     

    I would classify myself as a butch but dara has taught me to be a better butch. I do happen to know a lot of random trivia particularly about movies. I play sports like softball, basketball, volleyball and cornhole. (Cornhole is amazing by the way.) And I fix everything in my house. My mom jokes that she only had me so that I could fix stuff and my brother can't fix anything.

    Bridget be careful and don't hurt yourself. I couldn't stand not watching your show every sunday.

    I am also color blind. it's only partial to certain colors. my dad is color blind and my grandpa was color blind which made my mom a carrier for color blindness. its weird but true.

    P.S. Bridget send me a message on myspace and I can come fix your sink.

    "I'm just happy to see you..."

    Great vlog all around. It was really cool to see more of Dara.

    And her handywoman skills were amazing. It's like McGyver with a vag. lol

    And I loved how the urgent care people know Bridget. Kinda like Tim on Home Improvement.

    NYU!.............HELP!

    ok, first of all i've been meaning to say that just the fact that you went to NYU(a school i wish i could've gone to for Theatre) makes you a BILLION times cooler that you already are! Loved the show def. worth staying up for! Hope your finger gets better it looked pretty gross! lol

    Anyway, i don't know what i would be classified..

    one of my friends said that i was androgynous, but i'm not sure what she meant by that...lol

    i love broadway shows and classic disney movies

    i'm small but people say i'm feisty

    i'm pretty good with tools because of this summer church program where we build houses and i've had to work in the scene shop

    i usually wear "cute" clothes

    and as far as foot wear goes, the girliest i get are flats and a small heel

    ...so yeah, if you have any suggestions as to what i might be classified tell me, because i have no clue!

    Lor.'s picture

    I'm so happpy


    Cos I don't do girly =]

    Looooove lazy Sunday morning, I do =D
    Wench2007's picture

    sink

    ok so all I can think off is why can't you just take the u bend off on try and unclog the pipes that way, you had a wrench.......... and you must have a toilet brush you could have shoved that up the pipe when it was off.

    I hope Dara fixed it whilst off camera

    ck's picture

    toilet brush? nooooo... that

    toilet brush? nooooo... that should only touch the toilet! i think dara was on the right track with using the metal piece from a hanger ... very butch-creative ... btw, i forgot to say, i love dara's humour :)
    Glindared's picture

    fyi-sink

    That u-bend is called the trap...so ya know!
    sweetdebie's picture

    Brunch with Dara !

    This was one of the best BWB. Dara, you're awesome !

    Hope your finger gets better

    Can't wait for next week ^^

    melikeyou2's picture

    If you dont know me by noooooooow...

    LOL!!

    I can´t fix things worth a crap. I am more like a walking menace like our beloved Miss McManus:D

    Awsome BwB!! Thanks for the many laughs and getting me of to a great start this sunday:D You guys rock!

    *Off to continue humming Harold Melvin and the bluenotes for the rest of the day....

    There needs to be more Dara,

    There needs to be more Dara, on this site and in the world in general.
    whitetank's picture

    i hear you

    MORE DARA please :) she is witty and completely hysterical!

    and bridget in those boy shorts and butch-y cap? hott!

    Kau's picture

    hot indeed

     

     

    i had to watch it twice so i could pay attention to what they were saying lol

     

    great vlog girls!

    Wench2007's picture

    hmmmm

    well you throw away the brush afterward and it should be washed in bleach before you do it, but it is very effective........ you have to use what you have. Plus if the clogging is a build up of hair 9for example) a coat hanger would have very little effect. It depends what the blockage is and where it is.

    The u bend is the best place to take off and have a look though........

     

     

    ck's picture

    throw away - i like, thats

    throw away - i like, thats how i clean in general lol

    the hanger could be very efective - u bend the tip into a U and it catches everything, esp hair ;) ... and up there when i said pipes, i meant the same thing i guess, i didnt know its called 'U bend', learned one more thing today...however, i just went smoking and the one hand match light didnt quite work ... ill give it one more try next time

    Wench2007's picture

    well I don't know if it is

    well I don't know if it is called a u bend in the States but it is here in blighty.......... I have never tried the match thing. hmmmmmm so much respect to Dara for that. its good to be butch
    dev's picture

    match tricks

    i'm such a stereotype...i have done the match trick...and sometimes it actually works (the match always lights...don't get me wrong)...does that say more about how cheesy a pick-up it is...or the woman that falls for it?
    ice cream's picture

    Great Vlog

    I love all your vlogs Bridget - we learn something new about all your guests; with a lot of great humor mixed in. Really awesome!

    Bridget: Your a poser.  (when Dara can't fix the sink)

    Dara: I can't believe you ask all your guests to fix your sink.

    Abana's picture

    Brunch with Butches

     

    This was an awesome episode! Dara in MacGyver mode was fun to watch. And I can't believe Bridget lets her guests repair her sink. But on a second thought, this might be better than Bridget actually tries herself because then she might need another ride to urgent care :-)

    Tierra's picture

    Still up!!

    Cant wait to watch...since im still up @ 2
    confusedN's picture

    Damn it!

     I can't finish watching the vlog! Damn it, I have to work! I'll watch the vlog later, but I bet it's great, 'cause it always is.

    ~confusedN~

    if i had a hammer :)

    id hammer in morning, id hammer in the evening, all over this land..................

     sorry i could not resist.

    i really thought that dara was about to win the pillow fight, then bridget just flips her right in the air lol.

    crayolarabbit's picture

    excellent

    first of all, I'm glad to see I fit every one of Dara's criteria except the match thing. And I'm not going to try that, because my mommy told me not to play with fire.

    Second of all, dude, Bridget, you seem to have had a phenomenal career path (despite the fact that you don't seem all that fond of it.) Scenic design? Commercials for Cartoon Network? Assisting on a feature? All things I totally would do when I grow up.

    Third of all, I like Baby B's new outfit. It's more in character, with the voice and whatnot.

    Amazon 's picture

    Funny as

    Bridget telling Dara that they told her to take the stitches out her self was funny. On the butch subject i wouldnt class my self as butch, but there is one thing you should know about me i don't do girly, ok once and that was it and that was only because my friends dressed me up and practically dragged me to a disco that i didnt even want to go to in the first place. I never go anywhere without my hat, its gotta be on my head otherwise i feel like i have lost something.

    I always seem to be hurting myself and it always seems to be when im at school or at home, lets see whats happened: i got chased by a dog on my way home from school and for  some unknown reason i deceided i would jump my front fence and my dad thought i broke my arm so that warranted a trip to the hospital, but the worst thing i have done is my knee it was during PE at school and we were playing Aus tag and i had the ball, but passed it and one of the girls not sure which one it was booted me in the knee and that killed i couldnt even walk, but i was determined to stay after school and run the active after school thingy that i ran, but one of the other trainers forced me to go home and my dad was not pleased that the school had not taken me to the hospital. my knee is now screwed because i got sick of the crutches after a day and thought that i would  suck it up and walk when i wasnt supposed to, every now and than my knee deceides that it will torture me and play up and give me hell.

    i only have myself to blame for that, i also learnt that if your defending one of the girls at your school because one of the boys was being a dumbass and a jerk, dont try running on cement and  jumping down a few stairs hoping that you will land on your feet because that doesnt work as i learnt after sliding along the ground and i now have a scar on my knee that i think is pretty cool and gross at the same time.

    This episode was great who doesnt love Bridget or Dara for that matter?

    One question though emongi07 what is Cornhole?

    Dara: Can i do it?

    Bridget: You sick Bitch

     

    I Caught fire's picture

    Well I think cornhole is

    Well I think cornhole is more of a southern term/game. Basically it is a bean bag toss. You take a bean bag and throw it, aiming for the hole in the raised platform in front of you. It got its name because sometimes the bags are filled with corn. :)

    By the way I've never played it. lol.
    ice cream's picture

    Butch or femme?

    I don´t know if I´m either of those. I think I am some where in the middle :) My mom thinks that I´m butch though, just because I can fix things and I like sports... but I don´t know... :)

    Great ep. as usual. Hope you guys have fun i NYC.

    I can't even think straight...

    Mara's picture

    (Power) tools - CHECK!

    I'm pretty handy, I help friends move... But I can't light a match using one hand only. And I'm clumsy at times. 

    More wrestling matches please. I enjoyed this one - chapstick is an option ;)

    stephcologne's picture

    light a match with one hand o-O

     

    I can´t do that (nice trick Dara) but i can fix pretty much everything in the house

    Bridget don´t hurt yourself in NY hope your finger is better

    great pillowfight or wrestling match like allways this is way to much fun. Thank you everyone that worked on the v-log.

    I LOVE DARA

    and bridget too of course. but dara, i'm so excited to have her on this week's bwb. there's not enough of her on ae in my opinion. i want more dara. more dara. naked or otherwise. i'm not picky. *wink*

    anyways, this is one hilarious vlog. i love the backstory, the butch-femme talk, dara fixing the sink, basically all of it. and bridget, please be careful. i feel like putting a helmet over your head & covering you with wrapping plastic. and lock you in a padded room so that you won't hurt yourself again. :D

    bigfun's picture

    Bridget........

    You have the hottest body I've ever seen. Beautiful, sexy, funny and smart, wish there were more people like you!!

    Your vlog is the best! Thank you Sarah Warn for intruducing us to Bridget!

    ice cream's picture

    oh, Dara...

    can I be a butch like you?

    ;)

    Kirsti's picture

    I heart BwB

    I love it when the vloggers have other vloggers as guests and it was great to see Dara, witty as ever. Bridget you and your accident-proneness is too cute...

    Great

    It's winter here so seeing Bridget in those short shorts makes me feel even colder. Haha, if it wasn't for Jill Bennett recommending Karman, we wouldn't have the pleasure of watching these two lovely ladies.

    To Be or Not To Be...Butch

     

    One of my favorite BWB's.  Love Dara and nice to see and learn more of her!  She is so dang funny and snarky, love her writing.  

    Bridget, if you don't get your stitches out, I'll take em out for you on Sunday.  I am a skilled nursing professional so don't worry!

    I have a question RE: the butch thing.  How does the 'TOP' issue fit into that?  Bridget is a self-identified TOP but not a butch.  Does that compute??

    Great non-pillow fight.

    realitywrites's picture

    sunday school

    hahahahahahah double-homo

    A. Dara is not only amazing at wood-working but she's pretty scrappy

    B. Did anyone else hear Bridget say "my sink, my choice" when Dara was ramming the hanger down the sink-hole??? because that cracked me up.

    and

    C. I totally agree with the turn it off-turn it on again solution....if that doesn't work then i'm at a loss

    I learned so much today about the many varieties of butch and butch culture.

    yay! it's Dara!!

    Dara, i'm right there with you on the pink thing, i never wear it. & your trick with the match was really cool. love your writing and your sense of humor, especially your recaps. 

    Bridget, hope you finger gets better soon and nothing else happens.

    i don't think i'm butch but i can fix things (not my car tho), and my big brother calls me the Queen of Useless Information. on the flip side i don't like sports much (unless i'm playing), i paint my nails and can act kinda girly sometimes. i dunno what to call myself.

    great ep. love the wrestling. hope you two have lots of fun in NY.

    It's Nai Time

      Hey Dara, thanks for representin' on this femme-laden site (not that I'm complaining--the scenery is quite enjoyable here)--very butchy of you to let Bridget win the pillow fight...

      Regarding the sink, Corky shows you exactly how to fix it--take the nut off and using your coat hanger, pull out the clump of crud out that way. Gross but effective.

      Oh, and can someone get the McMenace a spotter before she really hurts herself?
