Come With Me If You Want To Live: Dinah Shore 2008

In this very special episode of Come With Me If You Want to Live, our Southern vloggers Jenn and Dee walk you through their first time at the annual lesbian spring break known as Dinah Shore Weekend, as they share their stories, photos and footage from the event.

When they weren't getting lost racing from event to event and marveling at all the lesbians, they were cooking burgers with Karman and me (okay, they cooked while I fired questions at them), chatting with Jackie Jones about doing stand-up, pillow-fighting on Brunch with Bridget, dancing with Cathy DeBuono, getting smack talk from Elizabeth Keener, and dishing with Jill Bennett about the Dinah fashion show. They were almost busier than I was over the weekend!

If you've never been to Dinah, this is a great way to experience it through the eyes of "Dinah virgins." If you're a veteran of the event, it's a fun — and much less tiring! — way to re-live it.

    Awesome vlog, ladies!

    Never been to Dinah Shore, but I'm contemplating now. 

    You had me snicker, you made my jaw drop at times and you made me laugh out loud. It was so nice to see everybody out of their usual work (vlog) setting with your behind the scenes footage and pics. Thank you for sharing :)

    I wanna go now

    That was an awesome vlog ladies. Wow, one hour of so much lesbian stuff. Can't get enough of that! ;)

    Darn, I have to wait 3 more years 'til I get to go to the Dinah. But, I'm sure the wait will be well worth it.

    If I ever start to think straight, this heart will start a riot in me.

    Great Vlog

     

    Have to agree that the thug subject has been your funniest yet... loved the comment on the braids and not trustin' anyone enough to do them... and being from OC... had me smiling for a quite a while!

    I'm not going to make any comment about you guys at the right numbered house but the wrong street!!  tee hee

    A great addition to the AE family.

    cryspy2's picture

    Jenn and Cathy's abs...

    Uh...that was fricken HOT!!!

    Loved the vlog. I am so going to be there in 2009! Oh, I'm going to look for ya'll at ATL's Pride this year too! I've never been so I hope it's as fun as you say.

    Came here to see Cathy...

     

     

    And you girls did not disappoint. HAAAHHHHHT

    Dee and Jen are so cute.

    Twstdtrinity's picture

    Thank You Dee!!


    That bonus footage was golden. I loved it! Jenn and Cathy dancing together was the best treat evah. I am totally coming to Dinah next year. Trust and believe.

    Thank you guys so for sharing your Dinah experience with us. You guys provided semi-unbiased details of the Afterellen girls. All of you had never met before and yet ya'll treated each other like family. That alone is why I love this site.

    You two are hilarious, sweet, honest, and completely genuine. I'm looking forward to your upcoming vlogs.

    Jealousy!

    I'll just admit that I'm jealous. I wish I could have gone to Dinah this year, and y'all made everything look so fun. I'm definitely making plans to get out there next year so I can see all the lesbians.
    jeeo's picture

    You guys are so awesome.

    You guys are so adorable! I'm sorry to admit that I've never watched you guys before the BwB, but after that and this, you can bet that I'm going to be watching you guys vlog Work Out! Too hilarious, too random! I love ya.

    sydneyB's picture

    tears of laughter and now my stomach hurts!

    Y'all are CRAZY! this was the funniest shit ever! I was a Dinah virgin this year too and watching this footage makes me wish it was still happening. Thank you so much for doing this!

    Favorite moments:

    1) Talking about the thugs from the OC--I remember seeing them all over

    2) $ 40 breakfast--uh uh! you know I would've been looking for a dollar mars bar!

    3) getting lost--the same shit kept happening to us too! except we weren't walking on golf courses

    4) the biggest skinnest person story--I thought you were about to tell an eating contest story

    5) the bursting into song every 4 mins--you had me dancing and singing along with ya

    6) the look on Jenn's face when she was standing next to Lori--don't think I didn't see you looking at her in disbelief!

    hell--the whole damm vlog was tight!

     

    I can't wait for your work out vlog.

    GET IT!

    Journey_Wmn's picture

    Absolutely great ladies!!

    Absolutely great ladies!! I'm so jealous I really wanted to go to Dinah this year, but being broke will stop that.

    Jenn and Cathy definitely have the best abs I've ever seen!

    Can't wait for the workout vlogs

    Jenn and Dee

    if I had been at Dinah, I would have asked you two for your autographs.  You guys  are beautiful and very funny.  I am glad  you two had fun:)
    juliebear's picture

    DEE! Where did you get that shirt?

    For serious!  That shirt is almost as off the hook as your vlog!  

    Thanks for bringing the 'Dinah experience' to those of us that were not able to be there in person.  You two are HI-larious!!!  Can't wait for Jen and you to recap the Work Out episodes.

    Jenn and Dee Spillin That Dinah Tea

    Jenn and Dee ...I got nuthin' but mad love. You two lookin' all fine and your "stud" threads. Jenn, I would've looked to if Beer Girls had undies on. This Dinah vblog is the funniest and sexiest one. I laughed and cried and almost died. I especially laughed hard about "Oc" thugs. I'm like no way. Dee mentioned one was wearing Versace. Jenn you added what kind of shorts they had on . I was like Oh my Goddess. No they didn't. "OC" thugs. Jaime Keenedy's Malibu's Most Wanted came to my mind. I thought his movie was jokin' about that 'type" of wannabes. Today you two described them. So, dang, "OC" thugs do exist.

    I almost died when Dee snucked in "private" footage of Jenn and Cathy dancing. So So HOT!

    I'm glad you two had fun. I'm all for science geeks especially if their as fine as you two. I'm glad Sarah Warn picked two smart,funny,down-to-earth,fun and sexy womyn to do vblogs. Can't wait for your workout recaps.

    Fruit_Squar's picture

    Jenn .... kick her a**!

    She is going to kill Dee when she finds out. The dancing was hot though, very hot, and maybe they will post more!? Hopefully there will be a camera filiming when they exchange words.

    mortician pride!

    WOO HOO! thanx for posting all of this footage. I <3 you guys! I'm 19 so I can't go to dinah for another two years. I'm also studying to be a mortician. I should graduate this year. I agree Jenn the whole dying process is so intereseting as well as being able to help grieving families.     

    I am my very own shade of grey.

    panacirema's picture

    cathy and jen dance

    ...WOW! thanks for the recap,that was excellent! i'm glad you're part of the AE community! but damn, sarah, your voice :( hope it's better now...

    omg, inbd

    crave's picture

    HOLY.....

    I think my brain just melted.  That dance was unspeakably HOT!!!! 
    the_Rad_Seed's picture

    spill the tea? and why i cant see the last 12 mins!?

    It freezes up and goes into buffering and ive started the vlog over twice already. its like 2am now so im gonna hit the sack and try again tommorow. I really wanted to see that dance dangit!

    awse vlog. perhaps cuz its late i thought i saw something i didnt. That 1st gogo dancer looked alot like ms mcmanus lol. wishful thinking. The weekend looked like so much fun. but i did catch that tea spilling around the "what happens at dinah stays at dinah" bit as confirmation of something else. i'll leave ppls private lives alone tho. I wonder how cheap tickets are a yr in advance....

     (edited because I'm 12 and wanted to see bridget gogo dancing poolside, heh)

    Great Combo

    You two make a great combination. I would like support your (FFoundation) Furiture Foundation, but I have no money myself. The economy is sucking right now. All I know is  know who I am not voting for when election comes around.

    I am fan of you both representing the educated little geeky community and the Southern folk.  I am geek myself.

    Jill Bennett is really be on show that would be insanely awesome.

    spotticus's picture

    wow, wonderful, thanks for sharing!

    That was Fantastic. I really enjoy your vlog, and this one was extra special for those of us who couldnt make it to "The Dinah". I am looking forward to your new vlogs. Thanks for giving (us) scientists a voice on AE! This was the most  entertaining behind the scene video that has come out of the whole "2008 Dinah". Thank you again.

    miss chatelaine's picture

    the two of you

    are HUGELY cute! Your excitement and randomness is adorable. Thanks for letting us see your behind-the-scenes video footage. and I rather like it all messy and choppy. If you throw your pets in occasionally, you wouldn't have to edit anything and we'd be glued - that cat is possibly the most BEAUTIFUL creature I've ever seen.

    jordan-writes's picture

    Jenn don't worry,

    I would have so totally touched Leisha Hailey too if she were standing right next to me lol. You girls are so funny and adorable! Super cool vlog.

    Woo saving up for Dinah 2010!

    jamlawgirl's picture

    OMG you two are so cute and

    OMG you two are so cute and so hot!

    I wish I could have been at Dinah hangin with you guys and the AE crew! It looked like such a great time!

    And OMG! That little scene where Cathy and Jenn were dancing and touching stomachs and Cathy had Jenn bent over .... WOW!!!! Too much heat in di place!!!

    I think you guys have been added to my list of favorite AE vloggers, which is already quite long! I think Sarah Warn has acheived the impossible: giving me too many ladies to love!!! OK scratch that - it IS impossible, lol.

    Oh man, but you guys are so much fun and I can tell you are really good friends because your energy is great together. I'd love to hang out with you guys, altho I'd be struggling with my attraction to you both the whole time, heehee.

    I'm gonna have to try to watch Work Out so I can watch your recaps!

    BrokenWings84's picture

    You guys...

    ...are hilarious. Never watched you before BwB, and now this. I've been missing out :)

    Loved the footage from Dinah. Awesome. Thank you so much.

     

    I can't even think straight...

    Dee, that was some fancy

    Dee, that was some fancy spatula twirling while fixing the Boca burgers! I'm going to try that the next time I cook...though I was always terrible with a baton so maybe not.

    Welcome back!
