Michelle Paradise's "Exes & Ohs" Video Blog: Episode 6Michelle Paradise is back and bravely vlogging with a cold about the sixth and final episode of the first season of Exes & Ohs. In this episode, Michelle gives an update on the status of the worst date/best date stories vlog, talks about a commercial she shot last week in a bathing suit, shows off her new Beever Cafe t-shirt (now available to order), and dubs herself the queen of non-sequiters. And she answers questions about whether her belly button is really pierced, how to see bloopers, and if Sam's parents were modeled after Dick and Lynn Cheney.
For added fun while watching the vlog, you can drink a shot of something every time Michelle says "1-900-porn-now" or mentions her shirt being too tight (not that I'm complaining about either!) And if you watch the first few moments carefully, you'll catch a glimpse of her famous yawning cat... Michelle Paradise Exes & Ohs Video Blog: Episode 6, Part 1

Check back next week for Michelle's last Exes & Ohs vlog — and don't worry, I'm all over Michelle about having her continue to vlog for us on AfterEllen.com! Although I think she could read from the phone book and it would be highly entertaining, Michelle nixed that idea, so we're trying to come up with another one. If you have suggestions of what you'd like to hear Michelle talk about on a weekly/monthly basis, let us know in the comments! Submitted by on November 27, 2007 - 6:25pm. |

TIGHT T-SHIRTS
Drugs Not Needed
Heather Matarazzo
Hi Michelle- I LOVE your hilarious vlog and I think I can safely say that you are my fave funny lady :-) Not to mention you're very cute too! At the moment I am very frustrated- although I watch all your vlogs religously, and am already a fan of the series I have actually never seen it! I live in Ireland and don't have logo, but I did manage to see all the clips on logos official website. I REALLY hope that there is a second series- it's my fave lesbian
tv fixinternet fix and I love all the characters esp Crutch <3 and the two K/Chrisses.Another thing that I adore about the show is that it stars the amazingly wonderful Heather Matarazzo, my favourite actress ever ('Welcome To the Dollhouse'-- 'Weiner Dog'... need I say more?) It's really fantastic to see her in a lesbian show!
This probably isn't possible, but I would be ETERNALLY grateful if you could ever manage to squeeze Heather into one of your vlogs.... I would seriously die and go to heaven! I hope that if you read this you could mention to Heather that she has a crazy Irish fan on AfterEllen.com!
One more point- your adorable, hilarious rambling is the main reason why I love your vlogs so much, and looking at all the other comments here it seems the everyone else agrees!
What about your mother- your mother earth?
loss of bladder control.
There is something to be said about a one-woman vlog which somehow works in the phrase "loss of bladder control."
As to what exactly should be said about the vlog, well I will have to get back to you about that! lol
But count me in as the 3rd person who is interested in seeing more non-sequiter vlogs if you have the notion to continue.
And I agree with my fellow poster...to mention a snug fitting tee without revealing this particular tee even once is simply not fair. :(
I'm sure that the makers of
I want a piece of Paradise
I swear your rambling is the cutest thing ever.
She's just the cutest.
She's just the cutest.

Fourth
Cutest.rambly.vlog.ever!
Seriously, Sarah SO needs to get Michelle to come back and continue doing a vlog for AE, anything... even reading the damn phone book because this is just the best thing ever. Also, does Michelle have to actually HAVE a reason to post a vlog on here? Because honestly, watching her ramble on and on about things is entertaining in itself :D
I just finished watching the last episode and I have to say, it was my favorite one of them all. I loved the scene with Sam and her dad, such a fantastic scene!
Crutch ... SO needs to stop singing. Please? Maybe she could take on poetry instead? No, nix that, it would probably end up sounding like the horrid carnival stories that Jenny from the L Word writes. Talk about icepicks in your eyes.
Also, the hot chick that moved to Jennifer's apartment building, dang! She SO needs to come back and Jennifer needs to hook up with her :D
Honestly, the episode was fantastic, the only negative thing I have to say is that it was SO short but hopefully Logo will pick up the show for second season and make the episodes longer (Please, Logo!).
I have to say, I'm positively surprised at how well written and well acted this show is and it's such fun to watch! Logo has definitely stepped on something super special and hope they know it!
And yeah, Michelle, these vlogs of yours are epic! Can't wait for next week's responses :D ...
Haha I knew I saw her on
Ha, ha me too! I was like
Ha, ha me too! I was like screaming.

Xena call
I just love your show. Six
I just love your show. Six episodes is not enough, I hope they will do a second season. The last episode was the best.
Michelle you had a good
Yeah, points.
Funny you would notice and ask about the points, Michelle. Because when the new feature started...one of the most-often-asked questions was...how many points would it take to win you.
*wiggles eyebrows*
:)
cute!
There's no way a blog can be the Worst.Video.Blog.Ever if you are hosting it, seriously :P
May I just say: LMAO @ the Xena call, you get me everytime :D
Sarah, I would love it if Michelle became a regular blogger. She's awesome!
Michelle, I don't think you've answered any of those questions before, not that I recall, so you are good ;)
Looking forward to next week's blog!
"i don't suffer from insanity...i enjoy every minute of it"
<3
you are wonderful
I think the real question is what would you like to talk about? We all seem to be genuinely amused by you so anything you felt like sharing with us would be great. :)
I knew I had seen you in commercials before..especially the Flintstones vitamins one!! haha
I hope you feel better soon :)
I've got questions!
Hi Michelle,
I just wanted to say that I absolutely loved Exes & Ohs! I was really happy when I found out it was based on the short “The Ten Rules”, which is still one of my favorite short films ever!
And I actually mean this, the first time I saw “The Ten Rules”, amidst a collection of other lesbian short-films on DVD, I absolutely loved it and I thought it was one of the best shorts I had seen in a long time – I love short films. So I was very excited when I found out about Exes & Ohs and it was wonderful to see you developing those characters in a series!
I do hope, as many others here, that you are able to keep a regular vlog on AfterEllen and since you are such a wonderful writer and actor I would like to see you talking a bit more about writing, the writing process, the creation of characters etc. Whatever you decide to talk about I do hope you stay with us!
I have a “couple” of questions (I am using “a couple” in the hopes that you might actually read them before you find out they are 4):
First, could you describe your writing process? Is it different depending if you are writing a short movie or a series? What are the things you usually do to be able to write (i.e. do you write at home? Do you go somewhere to write?).
Second, you are an excellent comedy writer, have you ever written other types of material such as drama, short-stories, etc? Is comedy your chosen genre?
Third, do you have any plans for a feature film or other short films in the future?
Fourth, your bio says you have a Masters in comparative literature, could you talk a bit about the theme of your dissertation?
(I realize there are too many questions but I had to try!)
Thank you and all the best from you Portuguese fan
P.S. Don’t apologize for being sick, it’s a part of the human condition and you still did great!
Don't leave us Michelle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow - this has been such an enjoyable 6 weeks - Exes and Ohs as well as your vlogs. Thanks for doing them!
So sad to see the last episode, but what an ending! I have to say (and this may be very unpopular, but what the heck, it's a democracy, right?) I think Lauren & Jen have WAY MORE chemistry than Sienna & Jen.
Not that there's anything bad about Sienna, in fact she looks like a lovely girl, and I'm sure she is, and she'll make someone an awesome girlfriend, just not Jen (please)....Ok I'm picking up your rambling habits, so I'll sign off here. Just - thank you - it's been fun, and BRING BACK Lauren!!!!!(please) xxxxxx&ooooooo
Ms. Paradise You Rock.
next season
Given all the bathing suit and tight t-shirt talk, I think that the next season should be shot somewhere with warmer weather!

Michelle, you are amazing!!!
I love every vlog you´ve done. You are soooo cute and funny and charming and...well I can go on and on and on forever :-D. I hope you can be able to do a vlog every week, whatever you want to talk about but please keep your good sense of humor and your rambling habits I really enjoy watching you do that.
By the way, I love your show, I can´t seen all the episodes (because Í´m from Mexico) but, fortunatly, I´ve been able to download episode 4 and 5, and of corse the first in Logo and they´re awesome, very entertaining and funny. I wish you get well very soon.
Cuidate y nos vemos hasta el proximo vlog
Lets Get This Party Started
I saw Michelle's Beaver...
... T-shirt. lol
That was some kind of strangely erotic yet adorable strip tease of a vlog. Sorry if my Xena Call tips made you butcher it even more but that was some funny shit. You're not supposed to move your jaw. I hope you don't stop trying to perfect it. It's nice to have goals, you know. Maybe you can have your guestbians attempt it as well. It could be the intro music!
Also, pleeeaaaase keep vlogging about anything and everything and it can be as nonsequiter-y as you like.
I do have 2 suggestions to decrease the nonsequiteryness of your vlogs:
1. Cue Cards
2. Ritalin.
BUT I don't think you should change a thing. You're like Sarah Warn's worst nightmare but you're so adorable, that it doesn't matter that you're rambling. The rambling is good. God, now I'm doing it...
PS: can you say my name one more time, with the congested porn voice? :)
This was my favorite episode!!
Really, everthing was coming full circle. It was so beautiful to see Sam and her dad start to work things out. And then there was Kris, and Chris. The two of them = cuteness! And I had a feeling that Crutch had an admirer. It's about time she gets some love!
Oh, and can I say that I was shocked that Jennifer slept with Sienna? OMG, things just got complicated! I know she broke one of the rules when she did that!!
Great episode!! I <3 lesbian damadies!
Don't be a slave to the unavailable!more blogging please!
Madame Paradise...
That is one fine block of
Finaly!:D
I've seriously been waiting for this the entire day yesterday, haha! I went to the site about 10 times LOL. How terrible... but it was worth the wait:D Oooh guests! I love guests! Can't wait for the last vlog. Ok, I have I to stop being over excited! *breath*
But is may be the worst video blog ever, but who cares? It's freakin' funny! "hope you guys like it" How can you seriously ask that question? I think everybody watching it loves the show! I haven't heard anything negative so far.

yet again...
...delirious or no, you are one of the funniest people i have ever watched giggle off into the distance.
i just sent an email to logo begging them to renew the show. i hope they understand the power that i have to smite them should they choose not to. ahem. yeah.
anyhow, i was thinking a continuing vlog from michelle telling us about odd experiences as an actor/writer, be it auditions, or odd jobs or stories that never made the cut. or perhaps influential tv shows/movies blah blah blah.
i have a cold too, so i'm stealing michelle's excuse for being scattered.
get better soon, michelle. i toast you with my robitussin!!
More Vlogs Please!
Please keep vlogging, Michelle.
I like the rambling, and I like the silliness. It cracks me up everytime. But, 1-900-PORN-NOW lady, you are such a tease! You point out several times your tee is tight, but you don't let us decide if that really is the case. Fitted tees are supposed to be a bit on the tight side ;p
Keep vlogging, Michelle (I'm one of those people who don't mind your version of the Xena call. It makes me laugh out loud.)
Btw I don't get the points thing either...

EQUALITY!! PARADISE FOR GERMANY!!
Miss Paradise!!
You are adorable!!
Even though you suffer from a very severe form of CAFNPR (chronic apologizing for no particular reason) you are still the funniest flu-infiltrated organism I have ever seen in a video blog. ;)
Do you think your show will make it to Germany?? That would be awesome because now I can only read the recaps and watch the vlogs and that's.. well... pathetic..!! Poor German!! haha
Xena Call
Ok, that Xena call was the funniest things I have seen in a looooooooong time.
Please don't stop the vlog! You are the cutest thing ever!
request
I just want to stick in a request for some Heather Matarazzo guest vlogging.
don't leave!
Yeah I don't have any questions. Keep vlogging please!! :)
omg, inbd
Guestbians
I second having Heather Matarazzo as a guestbian on one of your future vlogs!
I love your show!
Commercial la la
Omg I love the cisco video

"False beliefs lead to real consequences"
Your very funny..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think your video blogs are all very good. And seriously your just so cute when you ramble on...its so adorable. And your video blogs are always good, sick or not you are seriouly a very funny person. I love the Xena call I almost fell out of my chair. I will certainly write in too Logo and beg for more of the show. I love Ex's and Oh's.
I also think it would be awesome if you had your own blog every week. You really could read the phone book and make it sound interesting. You just have a certain charm about you. Keep up the good work.
:)
I agree with Melody you do have a certian charm about you very funny and very very cute...Love the Xena call...I heard in the intervew with Lucy Lawless where she said in a interview the Xena call is lalala very fast and very loud...But I love the call you did lol Take care Michelle
Should have been
I'm sure we could all agree
yay
Yo Paradise, Hee,hee
It's me your friend Mar-c-ia (or Marsha as you say< lol) well, I really love the last episode. I hope and pray to the Logo god's to let your show return.
anywho, I wanted to ask if the show does return will there be more episodes. and don't worry, we love, love, love your vblogs, you make them really intimate. Like we are there with you.
I mean we are there with you, because we're watching. well not there exactly but there with you because you bring us in and keep us entertained througout ( see your already rubbing off on me, Hee,hee,hee).
hey it's me again
you know your bff, Marcia or Marsha. I wanted to let you know that I went to logo and let them know how much i enjoy the show. I was surprise that they respond and let me know that they appreciated my apreciation for the show. so, they are listening. so everyone go and let them know how much you all love the show.
Your,
bff marcia :)
WHAT?!?!
The season is over?!?! When will there be more!?!?!
:'(
the Sexy voice
Great Vlog
A great vlog again
I have just managed to watched the first 5 eps which are great
It's great to see a lesbian comedy out there
I hope there will be a second season
ARGGGHHH
Brilliant ...
Thanks for answering my question about whether Sam's parents were modeled after the Cheneys - it proves how amazing you are, you made this point without knowing it!
Also, I saw a recent promo for Exes and Ohs where you said your character's name was Jennifer Baker - instead of Butler - why did you change it (and why didn't Logo)?
Finally, you have to keep doing a vlog even if it is not about your show (at least until your second season airs :) - and call it A Piece of Paradise - either sharing a piece of your mind or more like 1-900-Porn-Now - totally your choice :)
