Carlytron’s Team Pick:
So I had heard about this show, DTLA, a while ago, and I knew Logo had acquired it. But I hadn’t seen the trailer — which actually looks pretty awesome — so I was understandably very excited when I watched it this afternoon. I sent several emails to Riese and Laneia recapping my thoughts on it.
2:11 PM WATCH THE TRAILER BECAUSE DANA FAIRBANKS IS IN IT OMG
2:14 PM wait omg it gets better. JULIE GOLDMAN JUMPING ON A CAR. and I think the masseuse is played by HOT GAY DANNY from the real world new orleans.
2:20 PM also NEW YORK from VH1’s hit series I LOVE NEW YORK OMG
Basically you should watch this for the casting ALONE, but also it actually looks pretty good. And it’s from one of the producers of the L Word whose name does NOT rhyme with “Tai Chi Naked” (that was the best I could come up with and it was awful, I am ashamed and sorry).

I love the title, and the tags, and the article, and the trailer, and Dana Fairbanks. So, thanks!
Um, Julie Goldman yelling and jumping on a car, for like 45 minutes (allowing for commercial breaks). Why is this not a thing?
this should be a thing
we could make it a thing.
We are thinking of making it a thing. Real talk.
all of this looks awesome. and it’s set in my neighborhood. WIN. :)
You are right about the cast alone and I totally did an omfg @ 1:51 “Is that “New York” from Flava of Love?!?! Haha, oh shit, it is!”
One more thing, who is@ 2:06? That hair and those tatts… I need to find a name.
It’s AzMarie from America’s Next Top Model
Dana lives!!!!!! I will watch this.
Not viewable outside the US, noooo!
Different than the one posted, but similar… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6LNZhhIITs
Ugh. You just ruined Tai Chi.
The cast. omg. PAUL MOONEY
<3
also sandra bernhard
you KNOW you love New York. I know I do. Also Julie Goldman, etc.
I got so excited when I saw Dana Fairbanks in the title, that my eyes stopped reading. Then I SHRIEKED when Julie Goldman came on in the trailer.
I need to see this. And also to breathe.
Today I was lamenting the fact that True Blood is over, thus rendering me tv show friend-less. Autostraddle saved me again! Thanks carlytron!
My Spleen Bacon= Illene Chaiken… BOOM!
Poor bacon.
Julie Goldman deserves her own show. Like why hasn’t she become huge yet?? More Julie Goldman!!
i second this emotion!!
why isn’t loretta devine in this?
Yes I want to see this. I really like the music they used, anyone know what it is?
I shot part of the series and my roommate is the post production supervisor!
Watch it, guys! watch it!
Also we are SO HAPPY to find a post about it on this website.
I was literally bouncing around as Allison typed that comment. LIFE GOALS! I did this last trailer :) We do work for Larry Kennar and he’s absolutely NOT Illene Chaiken.
Thanks for watching guys!
I love my ladies who love ladies. I’m so excited Autostraddle exists! I heard about it from Allison and Cristine (above) who are gifted filmmakers ready to break! I have been blessed to have them on board. Thanks for the love and support for DTLA!
True story: One time I had dinner with Dana Fairbanks*. She had just had a baby and spent all day on a plane or in an airport, and she was still the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen in real life. It was almost painful being in the same room as her.
*I know the actress’s name is Erin Daniels. That’s not what’s important here.
I would watch just about anything if Julie Goldman was involved. I would watch her chew an entire pack of Zebra Stripe Gum just for her reaction to how quickly the terrible taste wears off. I guess this will work too. And… Dana Fairbanks – I could die. #ilenechaikenwhyyousocray
