THE JOY OF WOLFE
Wolfe Video has hired queer filmmaker Jenni Olson (director of the documentary The Joy of Life, and author of The Queer Movie Poster Book) as their new Director of E-Commerce and Consumer Marketing. Which gives me a good excuse to plug Wolfe: they're one of the only large lesbian-owned video companies, and they're pretty cool people, too, so check them out next time you want to buy a lesbian movie (and no, I'm not getting anything from Wolfe for saying this, I just like to give press to good lesbian companies).

FINALLY
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy is finally making over some gay people. The Bravo series has issued a casting call in the New York City metro area for "a gay man who's about to come out to friends and family, Fab Five wannabes who happen to be in their teens, and a lesbian who welcomes a total physical makeover, finally".

I'm not sure what to make of their use of the word "finally" at the end of the lesbian casting notice. Finally the Fab Five is getting around to making over a lesbian? Finally lesbians are going to stop resisting makeovers, and let gay men save us from our natural troll-like state? Finally, it's happened to me, right in front of my face, and I just can't deny it? What?

DEGRASSI: THE NEXT QUEER GENERATION
Looks like those rumors about a girl coming out on Degrassi: The Next Generation this season were true. I don't want to include too many spoilers here, since we're going to post a full-blown article on the upcoming lesbian storyline soon, but it begins November 28th in Canada (which means it will probably air in the U.S. in the Spring) and involves a dance, a kiss, and the requisite "what does this mean?" morning-after conversation. Because lesbian relationship processing knows no age or geographical boundaries.

MADONNA AND LOGO STRIKE A POSE
Madonna has teamed up with gay TV channel Logo to develop a GLBT soap set in an apartment complex, and tentatively titled San Rafael. Think a gay Melrose Place, where Matt Fielding hooks up with Billie, Heather Locklear romances Allison, and Marcia Cross is a psycho lesbian stalker who rips off her wig to reveal...a bad lesbian haircut!

That's it for this week! Check back next Friday for a new installment of Best. Lesbian. Week. Ever. or read past installments of Best. Lesbian. Week. Ever.
