Summer School of Swagger: Courses taught by your favorite fictional lesbian/bisexual characters

I was watching Bomb Girls the other day, swooning while Betty swaggered around like a champ, and I found myself wishing she would teach a Master Class in Swagger so I could learn how to walk like a professional lesbian. This led my mind astray, and I came up with a full course selection for a Summer School taught by lesbian and bisexual fictional characters. This is how my brain works. You’re welcome.
