Afternoon Delight: Jane Lynch on the season finale of “Party Down,” Kat and Meg Prescott on the “Shrek” red carpet

OK, listen up, lezzers! I’ve got an important story to lead-off with today! If you’ve been around AfterEllen.com for any length of time – say, ten seconds – you know Trish Bendix. She’s the managing editor here, which means she writes with one hand, edits with another hand, puts out fires with another hand, records vlogs with another hand, Tweets with another hand, feeds her pugs with another hand, scours every media source for lesbian news and somehow manages to find time to sleep. She does a helluva lot outside of AfterEllen too, and tonight The Windy City Times is honoring her as part of their annual 30 Under 30 for “outstanding young people blazing trails into the future of Chicago’s LGBT community.”

High fives to Trish Bendix!

Kathryn Prescott and Megan Prescott were on the Shrek 4 red carpet last weekend, and watching Meg chomp down on a gingerbread man on camera may be the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen. More adorable than that pig in wellies from Friday.

The Village Voice’s annual queer issue has an interesting article about lesbian bed death this year. (I refuse to capitalize it, I don’t care.) Lily Tomlin suggests costumes; erotica writer Rachel Kramer Bussel suggests “burlesque shows, strip clubs, or even sex parties”; and Old Dominion University English Chair Dana Heller says the whole thing is just a myth:

The myth, she adds, serves to appease those heterosexuals who are experiencing “straight panic” over LGBT visibility and power: “Increasingly, the country is coming to recognize that there is not a big divide between gay or straight relationships – except what’s inscribed in our legal system.”
