In the first episode of AfterEllen.com's new bi-weekly video blog All Access Pass, host Andrea Meyerson (Women on a Roll, All Out Films) visits with jazz singer, songwriter and actress, Sweet Baby J'ai at her home.

Sweet Baby J'ai shares stories about being an out lesbian on the jazz circuit, starring in the stage production of "Prove It On Me" and also talks about the influence and importance of queer women in jazz in the '20s, like Ma Rainey, Gladys Bentley, and Bessie Smith.

She also gives us a sneak preview of her one of the tracks on her soon-to-be released CD, Introducing J'ai Michel.

Bridget McManus and I recently stormed the red carpet at the annual HRC gala in Los Angeles where we spoke to some very lovely people.

Legendary friend-of-the-gays Judith Light humbled us with her thoughtful and dignified responses to our ridiculous questions. Then we caught up with Andrea Meyerson, being honored that night with the Local Hero Award for founding the lesbian social network “Women on a Roll." She introduced us to some of her friends, distracted us with a jaw-dropping gown, and once again confirmed my assertion that she is the lesbian Goldie Hawn.

We also chatted up some of our favorite reality tv gay boys, Christian Siriano (Project Runway) and Jesse Brune (Work Out).

(If you hear someone calling her a "hot mess," it was me, not Christian.)

Jesse Brune told us all about being raised by lesbians (we are only slightly more ferocious than wolves) and how the gay ladies in his life have taught him the joys of processing. We love him.

Finally, after some excruciating "will she or won't she talk to us" drama, Iron Chef America's openly gay chef Cat Cora — honored that night with the Hero for Visibility Award — talked to us about her favorite spices, what superhero powers she'd most like to possess, and teased us with a description of the hot new chef uniforms we'll be seeing this season on ICA.

She even gave a little shout out to AE. Soon after, I proposed to her and we were escorted off the property. … continue reading

In the first episode of their new red carpet/travel series, You Can't Take Them Anywhere!, Bridget McManus and Karman Kregloe attend IN Los Angeles magazine's 10th anniversary party and ask fun and vaguely inappropriate questions of partygoers, including actresses Carlease Burke and Thea Gill, IN Magazine's resident lesbian Courtney Jackson, radio host Doria Biddle, and Women on a Roll founder Andrea Meyerson.

They also run into two women who work for the June Mazer Lesbian Archives and discuss their favorite items in the collection.

And of course, there's the requisite drunk guy (it wouldn't be a party without one!).

On the next You Can't Take Them Anywhere!, Karman and Bridget invade Tahoe!

This week Bridget lies down with All Out Films' President Andrea Meyerson. In between sipping champagne and dancing in bed, the ladies discuss comedy, the 2008 AIDS Ride, and their bartending days.

The recently single Baby Bridget reaches out to the ladies at home to feed her sexual appetite.
