Absolutely Fabulous"Absolutely Fabulous": hours of bloody funSweetie darlings, you will absolutely love this!
I know it’s not my birthday, but can it be just for today? The ENTIRE series of Absolutely Fabulous is now available on DVD and I think it would make the perfect gift for the AbFab fanatic in your life. (If you don’t happen to have an AbFab fanatic directly in your life then please allow me to step in and fill that roll for you. Please, I insist.) The new limited edition collection called Absolutely Everything is a nine-disc compilation of seasons one through five, plus various special episodes including “The Last Shout,” “The New York Specials” and “White Box” – not to mention tons of bonus footage and outtakes.

Sadly, they weren't actually marrying each other — even though the picture does make it look like it. Kate/Offred (Natasha Richardson) and Moira (Elizabeth McGovern), The Handmaid’s Tale (1990)
Trapped in the dystopian future imagined by Margaret Atwood's novel, in this film adaptation Kate gets strength, courage, and some much-needed humor from her rebellious lesbian friend Moira. Thelma (Geena Davis) and Louise (Susan Sarandon), Thelma and Louise (1991)
In this iconic reworking of the traditional road movie, the waitress-and-housewife-turned-stickup-artists became so close that by the end, as Sarandon has said, "they were finishing each others' sentences." … continue reading Submitted on March 20, 2008 at 4:52 pm Will "Doctor Who" become "Absolutely Fabulous"?Ever wondered what Doctor Who would be like as a woman? Me too. But even if you have pondered that prospect, Patsy and Edina probably aren't the first images that come to mind.
Nonetheless, recent reports indicate that Ab Fab alum Jennifer Saunders may be tapped to play the first ever female Doctor for a special one-shot episode. … continue reading Submitted on December 20, 2007 at 3:40 pm Two lesbians and a nun walk into a bar...
