Since this is a long weekend, it’s the perfect time to stop and reflect on what’s truly important in life — movie props.
Earlier this week, a Pop Candy reader came up with a discussion idea that Whitney posted on the site: what movie props would you most love to own? As usual, my mind took the question and applied it to me-me-me and I started thinking about cool props from lesbian (or lesbianish) movies. The first one I thought of is probably the most obvious. But, actually, I think I’d rather have this. Then I had to stop thinking about Mulholland Dr. because I got a headache.
I broadened the category to include TV because of the one prop I’ve always coveted: Gabrielle’s scroll from Xena. But what fun would this be without asking the rest of AfterEllen.com to play? So, be thinking about your list while I share more of mine.
Leaves of Grass from The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love. I used to read poetry to girlfriends, too. Maybe if I still did, I wouldn’t be single. Hmm.
A page of the Rambaldi artifact from Alias. I miss you, Syd. The basketball from Late Bloomers. Not many lesbians seem to know about this movie, even though it was a Sundance favorite when it came out. Let’s just say it gives a whole new meaning to the term “one-on-one.”
The honey pot jar from Fried Green Tomatoes. Frida’s eyebrow. OK, my friends, it’s your turn. Give us some props. (Sorry.)
