It’s that time of year again! Are you ready to buckle down and embark on our incessant coverage of everybody’s [nobody’s?] favorite lesbo reality crazy train? Either way, Showtime has begun rolling out the promos for Season Two of The Real L Word in advance of the premiere on Sunday, June 5th and Mama Chaiken proudly declares that this season is “very much about identity and figuring out what life is about.” And, according to the Behind the Scenes, LA life is very much about hot lesbian sex. Aside from focusing on Whitney‘s relationship with Sara, here’s a taste of what to expect from the new cast members, with occasional insight from the clam mistress herself:
+
Whitney: “Oy, what can I tell you about Sara? Can somebody tell me something about Sara, cause I’d love to find out the real deal.”
+
+
Francine (right) to Claire (left): “You want your cake and to eat it too.”
+
+
Whitney: “I love Romi, but damnnnn.”
+
+
Sajdah: “I really like this girl. I’m crazy attracted to her. I met her yesterday!”
+
+
Kacy (left) + Cori (right): “I’m not comfortable making our baby with a butt douche.”
+
AND OF COURSE…
+
Ilene Chaiken: “This season we’re constantly surprised and delighted… and appalled.”
+
So, who among us is turned on, appalled or running to set their DVR for June 5th? Whose storyline are you most excited to see play out?
remind me why everybody’s hatin on this?
Bitterness & jealousy mostly.
I really think Season 2 of the Real L Word is going to do wonders for lesbian visibility. A deep, thought provoking study of queer women struggling to find their place in a heterosexist society. It’s the “If These Walls Could Talk 2” of 2011.
“Whitney’s world is … Whitney’s world. I don’t think anyone else lives like that.”
Really, Ilene? REALLY? I think you just don’t understand the way that we live.
‘Talking, Loving, Fighting, blablabla’ That’s the way that we live, right?
agreed
I’m looking forward to watching the story between Claire and Francine.
did everyone see robin taking photos of francine in that promo i bet you did
i’ve never seen a producer narrating a promo for a reality show before! what an interesting choice! ilene just loves to break boundaries!
I thought it was her!
ROBIN IS THE BEST. Hands down. She will have monster groupies attacking her for sex in the streets.
Also,
Ilene creeps me out. She reminds me of my 7th grade PE teacher that used to pop out from behind locker rooms to do bra checks.
is your gym teacher now in prison? because what the hell is a ‘bra check’? it sounds like something you could definitely/maybe go to prison for.
Oh god my gym teacher used to do those, except he was fifty ish and extremely overweight and I think he got fired for sexual harrasement. Apparently it’s against school dress code to go without a bra in seventh grade and up, so he would come around and snap your bra straps through your shirt to make sure you were following policy.
That’s the most fucked up thing I’ve heard today.
ooh i gotta go rewatch that.
sidebar: i’m just noticing that IC’s face bears an eerie resemblance to Suri Cruise. #disturbed
never have i been so excited for a show to start just because of the AS recaps we’re gonna get from it.
the irony of “behind the scenes” of a REALITY show is almost too much for me to handle.
It’s like when you get feedback when you’re on skype and it gets into that loop of sqwaking.
OK, I don’t know Romi, but what an awful thing to say about her: “I love Romi, but damnnnn.” I am just saying that the Whitney they put on TV is no better except she gets to pass judgement about others because it is now the Whitney show? Whatever. I don’t know why the gay on gay judgement gets to me. I mostly blame ilene.
“I don’t know why the gay on gay judgement gets to me. I mostly blame ilene.”
yes, because Ilene hasn’t been judged, at all!?!
so I happened to watch this on mute while “pussy money weed” was playing (long story), anyhow it made they show seem like a really complicated porno
Ha! It kinda looks like a really complicated porno anyway, even without that song (which, by the way, I will be downloading as soon as I can get iTunes up just for that title alone).
I’ve been searching and just could not find it! I’ve typed in various lyrics (in quotes, no less!) and nada, thus far.
I’m way into blues rock, the good kind that make you want to drink smoke howl at the mooon with a lovely lady by your side :) and that exactly what this singer puts down.
If you come up with somethin, lemme know!
Wow it’s really weird to see people you’ve met in real life on TV all of a sudden. I met Claire a few years ago at some lesbo party in NYC, and she was there with Francine but they had some huge fight which was awkward for everyone. Claire is totally stunning though, and has a super sexy voice.
kelsey is hot. thats all imma say at this point. i don’t have many expectations for this show, but i more or less watch it for laughing at riese’s recaps after.
“Trouble-starter!!!” That’s my girl. Franny + Claire <3
I have never watched this show and I will continue to not watch this show.
My favorite part of the entire promo was the band. Yay for Brooklyn.
Not gonna lie. I’m totally psyched for this.
Am I the only one who doesn’t want to see Whitney and Sara (or any of them) having sex? It makes me feel uncomfortable. Seems perfect for a lazy peeping tom though.
You’re not the only one. I felt creepy just watching a few of the scenes in this promo! Like that one shot of that one woman (Francine? Is that her name?) where she was laying in bed and it looked like she was masturbating to internet porn? AWKWARD!
What I’m looking forward to the most about The Real L Word Season 2 is the Autostraddle parody of it.
Meh, it’s like “Who are these people?” My favorites are out and now we begin anew…
My thoughts on this promo:
1. That singer (Sophia?) is AWESOME! Super awesome and also hot. And has great shoes.
2. Girl butts! So cute!
3. I don’t have Showtime and after seeing this promo…I still don’t care that I don’t have Showtime. Meh.
I really think Ilene Chaiken should give Autostraddle more credit/love. Honestly, the only reason me and my partner are going to tune in for that is so we can check the recaps here and laugh.
Basically, AS is giving The Real L Word 2 a bunch of views.
Where is the love now, IC?!
I doubt IC feels like giving “love” to any lesbian identified website. Anything she says or creates is followed by *eyerolls* & snark from her people.
im equally excited for the 2nd season and riese’s recaps
I refuse to watch this shit. I’m not watching it.
I have so many hopes for the new characters (wait, why am I saying characters? – oh yes, I remember, because IC will script the hell out of everything). We got rid of skinny/beautiful and anorexic. There is no more wherethef*ckareallthegoodmodelsinLAI’msuchatoughbusinessdudedon’tf*ckwithme plus chewing gum on high heels. And the butchest femme in the universe a.k.a. Papi is out. Let’s cross our fingers and pray for a little realness in these characters. Hopefully there will be some sort of replacement for Stracey.
^ Exhibit A. “We got rid of skinny/beautiful and anorexic.”
No wonder a certain lovely femme couple didn’t come back for more. Why would they?
Wow…
When an artist/producer of a product can shock, disgust, make you angry or really propagate any condition in the array of human emotion, they’ve done a great job. Of course, there’s always an ethical limit.
Looks even dirtier than before. Bring on the entertainment. I’m watching.
I love Whitney, i cant wait to see what she gets up to next ha. But i cant believe tracy isnt going to be in it anymore.
Very interesting preview…
more importantly, who is that fine singer? Whooo, she looks good and that song is hot.
When will this season be on iTunes that’s all I want to know????
whitney’s L word u mean…come on…whitney this whitney that…whitney f**k sara f**k romi f**k everyone…is LA life like that???
plz someone tell me how i can watch this tv show in the uk and for free because i cant do it
