You Can't Take Them Anywhere!You Can't Take Them Anywhere! Dinah 2008For our latest YCTTA adventure, Bridget and I traveled to Palm Springs for that legendary event known as The Dinah. It's where lesbians from all over gather together to dance in their swimsuits, wait in line for drink tickets, and avoid their exes.
In addition to that kind of fun, quite a few celezbians were participating in the fashion show, performing music and comedy, and touting their wares. We talked to a number of them on the red carpet Friday night before the fire marshal shut us down for causing a mob scene. (Yeah, we're pretty proud of that one. No, they did not hose us down, much to Bridget's dismay.) Among them were Dani Campbell (A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila), who told us about her new fashion line, and Kate McKinnon of The Big Gay Sketch Show, who confessed her obsession with the Food Network. Jenny Shimizu (Dante's Cove) showed up in colorful attire, reminding us that we were not as cool as her because we actually followed directions and wore white to the white party. (Just kidding! We didn't need to be reminded that we're not as cool as Jenny. We already knew.) So put on your best white outfit, sit back, and hear what the celesbians have to say about Dinah...

RenoThis week, we kick off the travel portion of our new show with a trip to sunny Reno, Nevada (made possible by the nice people at the Reno-Sparks Convention & Visitors Authority). While in Reno, we stayed at the posh Peppermill Hotel Casino, snowboarded ourselves into exhaustion at Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe and Northstar at Tahoe Resort, were taught to snow mobile like champions by our friends at Lake Tahoe Snowmobile Tours, and were pampered with facials and manicures/pedicures by Jenny O and friends at Salon 7, and luxurious massages at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Stillwater Spa.
In between all of the pampering and outdoor activities, we managed to squeeze in some As you watch our show, please remember that we're dedicated to doing the tough job of first class world travel just for you. Not everyone would be willing to fly to exotic locales, enjoy fine dining and the very best that cities around the world have to offer, but Bridget and I are totally committed to our mission to have fun on behalf of lesbians everywhere. We're happy to seek out ideal lesbian travel destinations on your behalf, it's really no trouble at all. Submitted on March 25, 2008 at 2:29 pm You Can't Take Them Anywhere! The 2008 HRC GalaBridget 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). Christian told us all about the perks of his new found fame (free fast food!) and gave Bridget some very loving and gentle feedback about her outfit. (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 Submitted on March 21, 2008 at 2:28 pm You Can't Take Them Anywhere! IN Magazine Anniversary PartyIn 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! Submitted on March 7, 2008 at 2:34 am AfterEllen.com at the "3Way" Premiere PartyLast weekend, I attended the Hollywood screening of the new lesbian web series 3Way with a bunch of AfterEllen.com-related folks. There were lots of celebrities at the premiere, from AfterEllen.com favorites such as Christina Cox (Blood Ties, Better Than Chocolate), Mandy Musgrave and Gabrielle Christian (South of Nowhere), to women I'd never met but always wanted to, such as Kelly Hu — the hot mutant assassin in X2 — and Kristy Swanson, who played the first Buffy Summers in the campy movie version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But the best part of the evening? Sarah made the mistake of giving Bridget and me a microphone and camera and then setting us loose among the celebrities. Which means she has only herself to blame for what happened next. Yes, spankings occurred and a marriage proposal was made. It's true, I did offer to give Kelly Hu lessons in Lesbian 101, and Bridget did incite an argument between Mandy, Jill and Cathy Shim over who would sleep with whom. Also, Bridget described her kissing technique in detail, we played a naughty word-association game with the entire cast of South of Nowhere, and everyone flirted with everyone else pretty much the whole time. But really, would you expect anything different from one-third of "The Terrible Three" and the woman who shoots her vlog with a different woman in her bed each week? Watch it here now — because you'll never see celebrity party coverage like this on E! or Entertainment Tonight! AfterEllen.com at the 3Way premiere:

(Dammit!) Sarah still makes us adhere to some standards. Submitted on January 27, 2008 at 12:22 am |
