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

Outside the Lines: Queen of "College Hill"

Sexual Technique (with men): D

To prove her prowess, Kathy climbed on top of Kasheef and, starting at his belly, licked, kissed and sucked from south to north. She didn't rock his world.

"Kathy did a thing on top of me," he said later. "It was cute, but it was nothing I was shocked and amazed about."

Afterward, he flipped the switch and put the moves on her. Though she claimed that she wasn't "even close to horny," the consensus both in the house and on the BET message boards was, "She's bi."

Sexual Technique (with women): B

Later the same night at a local nightclub, Kathy proved she could mack. She picked up a honey, and the two women engaged in a grindy, against the wall rub-a-dub. It was steamy, but points have been deducted because the hottie multitasked by talking on her cell.

Audience Response: A

Post-coming out (and rub-a-dub), fans have shown Kathy lots of love on the message boards. Here's an (unedited) sample:

•  I a lesbian 2 so wassup lets hook up
•  KATHY BABY YOU IS TO FINE FOR YA OWN GOOD HOLLA AT CHA BOI!!
•  O my god Kathy is beautiful I love her 2 death
•  Like your other fans i love you to and think that you are so beatiful. i hope you make it to the top your the only reason why i watch it! i wish that i could find a girl like you!
•  Wow…I think Kathy is gorgeous, unique, confident, smart, everything a black woman should be. I find that incredibly sexy and I love watching you on the show girl.

Will she win? Probably not. Jenna, the honor student from St. Louis, has my vote. Brash, buff, brainy and beautiful — and even a morning person! — she's the alpha girl to watch.

However, Kathy should edge out Lonnie, who got drunk, threw up on-camera and then was too hung over to participate in the Episode 6 challenge, building a house for Habitat for Humanity. Or Tationna, who first whined and then wept through the crew's landscaping challenge.

Should you watch? Why not! As the writers' strike drags on, you better learn to love reality shows. As the black ones go, College Hill: Interns is a lot more wholesome and inclusive and much less ghetto than, say, Flavor of Love or I Love New York. And until The L Word and The Wire return in January, this is it for African-American lesbians. So tune in, and cast your vote for Kathy.

Grads?

We're ranking our lesbian or bi counterparts? Ha-ha, oh geez. I'd like to see everyone's individual grades by people that know them. Should be something we make up. Lezzi grading scale, wooh! Very cute article. Why would she be on a guy anyway? Hmm, ew. -Rachel

I think she regrets the stuff with the guy

When I interviewed Kathy for AfterEllen, it sounded as though she had regrets about some of the things that happened in the later episodes of the show. Haven't we all made mistakes when drunk on national TV?

Yeah,

obviously.

Is this what people get paid to write?

This is a ridiculous, irrelevant article.

Why?

Why?

Irrelevant

Why do you find this article irrelevant and ridiculous? Several articles on this site dissect every aspect of a lesbian character or celebrity, so what makes this one worthy of your criticism?

To Expand on that Question

Please direct your attention to the top of this website which you have opted to visit. You'll see that the stated content is "News, Reviews, and Commentary on Lesbian and Bisexual Women in Entertainment and the Media."

Now please have a glance at the aforementioned article.

Gee. What's here? I'd say there's some review and commentary about an out lesbian on TV. Hmm. Does it fit with the stated mission...

But of course this isn't your point. YOUR point is that no where else in the world but here at AfterEllen.com, do people get paid to write reviews. Of course! Or, you know, for that matter, commentary.

Damn. Since that is the case. I SUPPOSE the writers here (ahem, ladies) probably should streamline their commentary to some other issues, and only those that MATTER.

People get paid to write many things. They aren't getting paid arbitrarily. A little item comes along called supply and demand. I'm not saying Yay Capitalism. But, yes, if that is your question, this is how this part of the world works right now.

The great part? It's a pluralistic society. (At least it tries to be, but another time for that one.) Not only is there a demand for this so-called "ridiculous, irrelevant" writing (someone will soon, I hope, come along and defend the importance of this article, and in general discussing lesbian and bisexual women in the media, including what it describes of and prescribes to the society), but (as I was saying about four hours ago), this writer has every right to write this, AND get paid for it. That's the beauty of it. Just as you do, of course, have every right to complain. Just as you have every right to be rude.

To write is to create dialogue, and we must have dialogue to progress—even here, in an exchange of bitter sarcasm, which I could foresee getting out of hand.

Why should we stop talking about the single way in which lesbian or bisexual women of color are currently portrayed or seen on television? Maybe there are different, even what some might consider "better" ways of discussing it. These writers have chosen to discuss it in this kind of forum. Why is that irrelevant or ridiculous? In fact, discussing media today, the prime mode of impressing, regurgitating, creating, and defying social norms and stereotypes, seems highly relevant. And just because something is treated with humor and light-heartedness does not, I believe, qualify it as ridiculous. Instead it becomes, for many, accessible. Another way of saying, it helps us get into the dialogue. Yes, these writers have chosen to address this topic and to do so through this means—which, it turns out, they stated they would.

Next time you come onto a site that says it will post "News, Reviews, and Commentary about Lesbian and Bisexual Women in Entertainment and the Media"... Please expect that that is what you will read.

 

Getting off of my soapbox,

ahhh

thank you. that was awesome. I'm glad you got to get that out. I know it feels good... exhale.

Well Said

Thank you for taking my question further. I feel every article here is relevant.  If not for this site and the the writers who take the time from their other professions( and personal lives), we would have a limited voice regarding the happenings of lesbians in the entertainment industry. Again well said Mari.

Wow, as one prone to ranting

Wow, as one prone to ranting myself, I just have to say that was an A-grade (and quite hot) lesbian (forgive me if I'm wrongly presuming that you are a lesbian) rant. Well done:).

Sexual Technique (with women): B ... F-

How would you feel if you're with a chick and you couldn't command enough attention for her to get off of her cell phone? Would you feel like a)a loser b)a jackass c)a sucker or d)a punk

Rating Shows

Ha! Her rate is no different from Lori and Sarah W.'s rate on shows or Sarah P. and Malinda. So what's thedealio? Come on. Plus,when're drunk you do stupid stuff.Hey Kathy's young.She'll learn. I hope Kathy doesn't pay too much attention to what other's say. We all made dumb mistakes,part of life. We get over it. I agree withjackedup77. She deserve an F- on not able to take the cell phone away from the chick and workin' it. If you pickin' up(aggressor) a womyn,you should be leading.You wanted her,you make her yours. Peace!
