    I love Villarosa! Can't wait for her novel to come out. I too can't wait for the Tasha story line to unfold. And sarah, I agree, she has great teeth!

    well done

    best episode yet. Is it just me or does it get better every week.

    Lauren i would totally pick you to be gay too. It's something about your hands and your watch.

    Face it, you are wearing a gay watch (not that there's anything wrong with that!)

    Sound

    I love the show!!! I do have a problem with the sound.  It’s very hard to hear most if not all of the podcast/episode. Keep up the great work on the show!!

    gaydar

    it's all in the eye contact and other body language.  some straight people are clueless, but you would never pass for those in the know.

    haha

    "refined" gay-dar huh??  Sounds good...

    Lauren you are Hot specially with the boots and the watch :)  (hey do u guys even read this stuff?)

    ...from the Netherlands

    ...from the Netherlands :) it's in my profile (updated it a bit) ^^"

    Great episode... it's fun to hear why you all are so (not) gay (omg 18 proms... your date must've been really cute :P) 

    Still curious about how you can tell whether someone's gay or not though! :)

    dressed alike....

    Funny how Linda, Chagmion and Sarah W were dressed alike, so cute that despite everything they get dress-codes in!!!

     The show is hilarious and Chagmion is so attractive! Total love!

    Sarah Warn's picture

    It really was an accident

    We all walked onto the set in our jeans and black shirts and burst out laughing. It was too late to go home and change shirts, and anyway, we figured people would still be able to tell us apart. :)

    Linda Villarosa

    I was VERY pleased to see her interviewed...Always love listening to her speak.  Though It would have been nice to hear more about her work and life rather than The L Word.....again

    Great show, keep it up!

    what_katy_did's picture

    what_katy_did

    "Don't buy me flowers, buy me a watch" - classic!

    Personally I'm not sure that I would automatically tag any of the four hosts as gay if I saw them walking down the street... but then maybe I have bad gaydar!

    It's interesting that all four of you are lesbians rather than bi... did you ever think of having a bisexual woman on the show (as a host I mean)? Or did it just happen to work out that you are all gay? I was just thinking if you had a bi girl then she could speak up when bi issues are discussed (though you did a nice job a few weeks ago speaking up for the bi girls, Sarah! I appreciate that!)

    Sarah Warn's picture

    Chagmion is bi

    She's talked about it on the show in other episodes, she just didn't say much during this particular conversation.

    Glad you like the show!

    what_katy_did's picture

    Oh, I missed that!

    Hi Sarah... thanks for the reply... I totally hadn't realised Chagmion was bi! I'll have to go back and watch the previous episodes more carefully.

    I have to say that I really, really love this show. I was a huge AfterEllen fan before, but the show has almost instantly become my favourite part of the site. You are totally the bomb Sarah, coming up with new and interesting ideas! You're a one-woman lesbian entertainment machine! LOL.

    Sara's picture

    You guys are amazing!!!!!

    I love the show!!!! Thanks for keeping in touch with your fans here at afterellen!

     P.S. Lauren, I lost my teddy bear, will you sleep with me? ;-)

    Lesbian hands

    Great show!! I'm very interested in the theory about having 'lesbian hands' and I managed to see most of your fingers (except for Sarah) and you fit the profile. I wouldn't have pegged Lauren as gay....except for the way she sits...and once having looked at her hands, she may have pinged.... in fact none of you ping for me. Guess my gaydar needs tuning, huh? ;-P

    valentine's

    if you don't want to slit ur veins open over loneliness this valentine's do what me and my single friends have been doing for 2 years now: the dateless date day... sorta like secret santa, where u have to take out to dinner one of your friends (whose name u picked from a bowl) and after dinner we all get back together and get wasted (since we've been  friends since preschool we ommit the "pouncing" part... and even if the "get-her-wasted-trick"it's one of the oldest in the book it's the most effective ha!)...  

    Also i loved seeing the gay so not gay part... trust me on this one: it'll become the new gay drinking game. By the way, lisaR it cracked me up what u said about gay watches, i couldn't help staring at my wrist and laugh, i didnt think i owned anything that gave me away so fast... lol

    Always makes my Friday!

    Especially with comments like "If you're a single lesbian on Valentine's day... set a trap!" Bwahahahah! Where do I sign up to be bait in said trap? :p

    sarah / lauren

    sarah - look.  i'm a normal, non threatening woman with a huge heart, an ivy league education in business with a great apartment in the village.  i love my family, my twin sister is my best friend and i travel when life gets too sticky.  i am solid when it comes to music, theatre and the art scene but i hate the girl bars (where i hear you can see lauren if you hit the right night,)  i won't hit the right night because i am probably taking black and white photos of some cute kid and his dog on perry street at midnight  how, sarah, do i meet lauren blitzer?  would you chaperone us out on a date?  maybe to go hit golf balls at chelsea piers, or to take a long run along the river in paris?  or a walk to the george washington bridge for a picnic at bubba's?  i just want one afternoon with her to talk - make that smile come alive and talk to her about life and where that's going.  but i need help.  and yes, i am cute.  as cute as she is, just a little less glamerous.  i am tomboy to her femininity and i am quick with  a respnse to her more shy side.  i have great eyes, hands and hair.  i am in shape and pierce only my tongue.  but mostly, i am kind and will be gentle with her.  no stalking.  just a lunch.  sarah, can you make this happen?  i think we would really like each other.  had floor seats to justin timberlake the other night and wanted her there with me.  took my 72 year old neighbor.  it was a blast.  without sounding desperate, how do i pull this off?  it she doesn't like me, she leaves.  but i am confident that she will want to at least kiss me.  once.  i have good lips and kiss like i live - with passion and conviction.  can you help?   she said that she was single - come on.  it's worth a try.  i promise that she will thank you - maybe there won't be a love connection, but lauren will feel alive and stumulated and like she met a good new friend.  we all need those.  and she'll breathe.  hydrate.  and laugh.  please advise.

    just luv the show

    Sarah Dear,

    Thank you

    1st of all for this site. I've been login for 3 years now (but recently took the time to register) and my lesbo culture have increase (thanks to you). And 2nd of all, for this new show. I've been waiting for it every week now, and it's getting better each week. I always have a smile on while watching it.

    "Don't buy me flowers, buy me a watch!!" Lol. Just loved that. Don't take me wrong but I want both, flowers and watch, LOL

    "If you're a single lesbian on Valentine's day... set a trap!" LOL LOL. You guys just killed me, LOL. Where do I register to be TRAPED???

    On a serious note now. I don't have apparently a good  GAY-DAR. Please, I need some help, some input, ... How can I tell when the girl isn't butch?

    I realy like each an every1 of you on that show. keep up the great job.

    PS: If I wasn't leaving in France, I would also be asking you Sarah to put me in contact with Lauren. She's so adorable :-).

    yahfigure3's picture

    wow, look at the Lauren

    wow, look at the Lauren fans...

    Normally i enjoy watching all the ladies...but erhm, i have to say i do like Stacey's blings, especially the longer one...it's kinda...positively distracting

    Amy's picture

    Gaydar, Shmaydar.

    Gaydar? Ah pish posh. I have ZERO. NONE. I also apparently do not give out "gay signals" -- Whatever the H that is supposed to mean. I think I am going to design myself a cute little t-shirt that says "TOTAL LESBIAN." Which I will have to wait until June to wear, because it's -1,000 degrees here in Chicago. That's right, negative. Why do I find myself always complaining about the weather? I am going to go google the term gaydar, where I will shortly realize it only addresses gay men, and then I am going to become a nun. Cheers!

    Another brilliant episode! I

    Another brilliant episode! I wouldn't mind if you spent one whole ep talking about The L word. Who are your favourites and things related..

    I'm so happy that it was longer. Any chance on having Leisha Hailey on the show?

    I want to add also that Chagmion is excellent as the lead host.

    Love "She Said What?"

    Seems as if the episodes are getting better. I grinned when I noticed the "incidental" dress code. And whodathunk Lauren's single? I bet that gorgeous woman could have women lined up down a block or two ;)

    Keep up the good work, and I promise to keep tuning in.

    She Said What?

    Lauren is HOT! Love the content as well. Should be a half-hour show on LOGO.

    She Said What

    I just discovered the show, and I'm so happy that I did! It's fantastic. I love the banter and have enjoyed all of the guests.

    Keep up the good work!

    lesbian hands?

    I thought I posted this already but it's not showing up, so I'm going to embarrass myself: How can you tell a woman is gay just by looking at her hands? Is it a nail thing or are there other factors as well?

    p.s. i have the worst gaydar in history. somebody should write a guide for improving gaydar, especially with feminine women, AND a guide on how to give off sexaul vibes to women and 'get away' signals to men (no offense, bi girls).

    By somebody I mean probably Lauren Blitzer.

    Wow, I'm impressed - what's with all the Lauren fans here?

    Okay, she looks good but Sarah is way more attractive *g* I think everybody is just afraid to say so because she usually reads the comments ...

    Molly Bolt's picture

    Hot!

    Well, I'll say so! Sarah is definitely hot! :)
    -rada-'s picture

    I'll add myself to this group....

    I definitely agree that Sarah is the most beautiful of the ladies. I mean, they're all attractive obviously, but I think it's Sarah's mouth that's got me always watching her.... even when she's not talking haha
    Leenaomi's picture

    Sarah's mouth

    " I think it's Sarah's mouth that's got me always watching her.... even when she's not talking"

    I totaly, entirely, AGREE !!!!!

    The Lesbian Hand Theory

    It goes something along the lines that whilst we were in the womb we may have received more testosterone or something to that effect and thus we have, on our left hand, a longer ring finger than index finger(pointing finger). I've tried it out and it seems to be quite a common indicator in my group of friends. Every now and then, though, you get a straight woman with the same phenonomen.... but it generally rings true, in my experience.
    clonchi's picture

    It works

    Yeah, I've tried that too, since I saw it on the first episode of The L Word, and it has worked pretty well... I also used it on my relatives, with the excuse that it means "to have a knack for creative arts". It's funny when they try it and their index finger is longer... At least this way I know none of my relatives are gay! xD
    aussiemandy's picture

    She said what?? Down Under

    Hey there! LOL i have been on this site about..hmm 6 -12 months now and i totally love it! i didnt know ANYthing before this site lol.  I totally love she said what? its so entertaining and funny. Sarah, its great to see the face behind the website so to speak.. all you ladies are endearing.

    Lauren

    I would think Lauren was straight if i walked past her, a hot straight person!

    The show is a must see, great stuff, keep up the great work.

     Btw what gaydar is here in the UK? i have none

    Mara's picture

    gaydar girls?

    bex, the only "gaydar" in the UK I know of is "gaydargirls"...

    Great show

    I love all the one-liners in this episode. They're hi-larious!

    I would have pegged Lauren(hot!) as straight too if I saw her on the street based on appearence. And I thought the hand theory was that gay girls have shorter nails.  But what do I know, my gaydar is horrible.

    The podcast/iTunes

    Sarah, is it possible to make the viewing screen on podcast bigger?  The actual size is a bit small, so when I maximize the screen, the picture/pixel breaks and everything is becoming a bit blurry.  Or, can anybody help me with this?  Is there a setting on my iTunes that I should change? Thanks.

    Thank you for making the show longer.  Great show!

     "if you're single on

     "if you're single on valentines day set a trap...and wait for something (someone) to fall in." i spit out my soda when i heard that one. i love chagmione's deadpan humor. i have to say that i probably wouldn't peg any of the ladies on the show as gay except for sarah. i've always liked linda villarosa, it was pretty courageous of her to come out in 1991. her new book sounds reminiscent of the movie "lianna". and i can't wait to see more of tasha on the l-word. she's so stunning.

    Melissa Hsu's picture

    gaydar

    I thought one of my coworkers was gay, you know, the piercing, the tattoo, the hair (I know..I know, I shouldn't stereotype, but I read the 10 or was it 20 must-have lesbian accessories..so..), well it turned out she's not, just 3 days ago, she told us about her boyfriend..(too bad though, she is kinda cute).

    And I would have to agree about Lauren, if I ever walk past by her, I would never have guessed she's gay.

    vans's picture

    sorry to be the one ... especially for dessie

    but lauren has a hot, hot woman in her life.

    and even if she didn't, think about it dessie - would YOU ever date a woman who asked you out on a public comments page?
