Uh Huh Her News

I'm sure it's a while since we've properly heard of these two gorgeous ladies.

Yep, you all know The L Word's Leisha Hailey on the left, and the equally beautiful one on the right is lead vocalist of their band Uh Huh Her, Camila Grey.

All you really to know is that, right now, the duo are touring North America and Canada, and I'm pretty sure they're headlining an all-girl music fest in the UK in the summer.

The band also have a brand new EP out titled 'Black & Blue', which you can purchase on their website.

Watch the following video to hear how the pair ended up writing a song for Oscar-nominated lesbian movie The Kids Are All Right, starring Annette Bening and Julianne Moore.

Blondes I would...

Up until recently, I was never a fan of blondes. I mean, I've only ever dated 1 and that was a long time ago.

But now, I just can't help but notice some of our fair-haired friends and in their honour, I've decided to come up with a list of 'Blondes I would...' - Well, you know.

In no particular order...

Jessica Capshaw. (Actress. Grey's Anatomy, The L Word.)


Aside from playing Arizona Robbins, the most perfect fictional character ever, and having the coolest Step-dad in Steven Spielberg (and her real father Bob Capshaw, let's not forget him), Jessica is pretty much the cutest thing on earth.

She can also be really sexy when she wants to be... (Click here.)

Lily Loveless. (Actress. Skins.)


I know, I know, most people are in love with Emily (played by Kathryn Prescott), but I'm in love with Naomi. She's not a natural blonde, but she's always had that look of Debbie Harry about her with her bleached blonde hair.

Oh and Lily, that red lipstick... Miaow.

Laurel Holloman. (Actress. The L Word. The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love.)


Yeah, yeah, she's old enough to be my Mother. What's your point? Laurel is the definition of MILF and you know it! Apparently she's also bisexual, making her the only out bisexual on my list.

Did I mention her sex scenes with Jennifer Beals in the L Word?

Kimberly Wyatt. (Singer/Dancer. The Pussycat Dolls.)

Yes, I understand that she's a brunette now. But seriously, when she was blonde, Wyatt was smokin' hot. Do I really need to explain this one? She can dance, she's gorgeous, she has the cutest laugh...

Oh, and we all know how bendy she is...

Leisha Hailey. (Actress. The L Word. All Over Me.)


Again, not a natural blonde, but she's still super hot. Leisha is actually the only out lesbian on this list, making her that little bit hotter. She can sing, act, play various instruments... Is there anything she can't do?

I'm sure I could put her to the test...

And then there are the obvious ones like Charlize Theron and P!nk.

Who else would be on your list?

Top 20 Gorgeous Ladies

I totally decided to copy my friend's blog. But it was just so tempting! I've actually been thinking of doing this for a while too, so I don't feel THAT bad.

So here goes, from 20 down to 1!

20. Mandy Musgrave.

If you've never heard of South of Nowhere, I don't blame you. Not because the show sucked or anything, it was actually quite good. But you've probably never heard of it because it was stupidly cancelled after 3 seasons! Anyway, here we have Mandy Musgrave, who played bad girl Ashley Davies in the teen drama. With her sexy voice and even sexier body, how could you go wrong?!

19. Kathryn Prescott.

Chances are, if you're not from the UK, you've never witnessed the greatness of the Naomi-Emily relationship on Skins. But it is the show that has forced me, along with many other lesbians, to fall in love with cutesy Miss Prescott. Seriously, she is so adorable!

18. Laurel Holloman.

Unlike Mandy and Kathryn, the lovely Laurel Holloman seems to be a classic lesbian favorite. Debuting in lesbian flick The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls In Love, Laurel later went on to play the charming Tina Kennard in The L Word.

17. Rachel Shelley.

From looking at the picture above, you instinctively realize the sheer sex appeal of Rachel Shelley. Another L Word veteran, she also starred in horror The Children and TV Series Ghost Whisperer last year.

16. Mia Kirshner.

Again, another L Word alumni, but you must understand that creator Ilene Chaiken just cast so many beautiful women, I couldn't refuse them a place in my list! Kirshner is one of the few who is a well known figure who is also out in the public eye. She used her looks to captivate us all in movies such as The Black Dahlia and Not Another Teen Movie.

15. Melinda Clarke.

Now this O.C. beauty is what I call the definition of 'M.I.L.F'! Nothing more to it.

14. Clementine Ford.

She was hot when she was in the closet, and she's even hotter now she's out. Daughter of Cybill Shepherd and actress in her own right, pictures like the one above helped us realize that Ford has an androgynous side too. And we like it!

13. Kate Hudson.

Sparkly and bubbly on the outside, Kate Hudson has an air of classiness about her. Whatever it is that makes her so sexy, we can't resist the nice, girl-next-door type in the end.

12. Jessica Capshaw.

Starring as Dean Porter's fling Nadia on The L Word and now as half of 'Calzona' (a delectably cute lesbian couple on ABC's Grey's Anatomy,) there's no doubt that Capshaw is a favorite amongst the sapphic kind.

11. Lily Loveless.

The other half of the Naomi-Emily couple on UK drama Skins, there's something about Lily that makes us want to buy her a drink. She seems fun, intelligent and undeniably HOT!

10. Bridget McManus.

I'm a strong believer that someone can 'laugh you into bed', and this is a perfect example. Comedienne Bridget is sexy, sassy and downright hilarious! With an awesome personality and looks to match, what's not to like?

9. Charlize Theron.

The picture says it all, doesn't it? One of the most well-paid actresses in Hollywood right now, Ms. Theron is utterly beautiful. And with all that talent added to the most stunning body, I wouldn't say no!

8. Jennifer Beals.

From her 80s debut in Flashdance to her 6 year stint as Bette Porter in The L Word, Jennifer has always been a lesbian favorite. Well who can blame us? As one of the older women on the list, she's still one of the most naturally beautiful!

7. Leisha Hailey.

Musicians are hot. Musicians who are out are even hotter. Out musicians who are painfully funny are smokin' hot! All that, and she has the cutest laugh ever. No wonder all the lesbians want Leish.

6. Olivia Wilde.

Any hot blooded female (or male, for that matter) wouldn't say no to Olivia. The fact that she has now played bisexual characters in both The O.C. and House, do you think she's trying to tell us something? We surely hope so!

5. Jill Bennett.

One of the lesser known ladies on our list as a whole, Jill Bennett is everything a lesbian should be: quick-witted and beautiful with a 'don't give a f*ck' attitude. Part of Jill's sex appeal is that she's not afraid to be herself. She's loud and she's proud and we love it.

4. Angelina Jolie.

I'm pretty sure that no 'hot women' list is complete without Angelina Jolie somewhere in it. She's frequently described as the most beautiful woman in the world, and I can see where they're coming from. The fact that she's openly bisexual doesn't hurt, either...

3. Megan Fox.

Some would say Megan is just the next generation Angelina Jolie. But with the Transformers movie already scooping bigger bucks than any of Jolie's flicks, who knows where we'll see Megan next. She's been known to say some god damn stupid things, but she still makes me drool.

2. Sara Ramirez.

One look at Sara and you'll know it's true: curves are so sexy. Spanish accents? Also super sexy. The fact that Ramirez and a fantastic voice too makes me fall in love with her that little bit more. And I'm not complaining that she's currently playing gay on ABC's Grey's Anatomy with our number 12!

So who will it be? You're probably thinking 'but any one of those ladies could be number 1!' That may be true, but it's down to personal choice here. So here goes...

1. Eliza Dushku.
Since Buffy ended, we saw very little of Dushku. But now her new show Dollhouse has started, we're seeing a little of Eliza every week, which should actually be part of the law. Everything about her is sexy: from her body, to her talent, to her voice. And if you don't agree... Are you sure you're gay?

So that's all! Who are your favorite ladies that I missed? Which of the ones I have mentioned stand out to you? Comment below!

Jill Bennett

I realized earlier this week when I was reading UK lesbian magazine DIVA that I don't blog about Jill Bennett enough.

Now usually, when you ask a dyke who her favorite all-time lesbian is, they'd probably answer 'Ellen!' or 'Rosie!' But to be honest, I'd have to say Jill.

So she's not as well known as Portia or Leisha, but she's high up on my own personal 'inspiration' list: she's talented - Jill played Michelle on season 3 of here! TV's D
ante's Cove and the infectious Andrea on lesbian comedy web series 3way - she's absolutely gorgeous, and she actually cares about the world, in particular, one of my all-time favorite topics, gay rights.

Currently dating SheWired's Cathy DeBuono, Jill recently protested outside the mormon church that funded anti-gay proposition 8 for the way in which gay people a
re now classed as second class citizens in California. (Below.) This is just one of the many things Bennett has done for gay welfare, as well as sharing her life with the lesbian community - both on SheWired and AfterEllen.com - ensuring people everywhere that being gay really is ok.

For constant personal updates on Jill, follow her on Twitter: twitter.com/jillbennett14.
Alternatively, click over to SheWired.com for Jill's current video blogs or go to her MySpace page at MySpace.com/JillBennett.

I personally think she's one to watch out for: she's certainly impressed me over the past few years.

Thankyou... Or good riddance?

****WARNING: THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T YET WATCHED 'THE L WORD' FINALE.****


Mostly, all I've heard about the L Word finale was that it sucked.

And yeah I guess it did: there were story lines left unresolved (such as whether Alice and Tasha stayed together) and no one even knows who killed Jenny.

But surely we should be thanking L creator Ilene Chaiken for giving lesbians their first ever mainstream show.


There have been highs - pot brownie parties, TiBette sex!, sou chefs - and lows - Dana's death, Tina having sex with men and Max in general - but the main thing is that there was something for lesbians to watch without having to cringe over constant boy/girl sex scenes. (Okay, so it included some heterosexual content too, but predominantly, the sex was girl on girl.)

Also, people always says that most of the actresses gracing our screen, which include Jennifer Beals, Laurel Holloman and Rachel Shelley, don't look like 'conventional' lesbians. But really, who cares?! They're all beautiful, talented and smokin' hot! Lately I've realized that lesbians just like to find stupid stuff to rant and moan about!

Take, for instance, the fact that Lindsay Lohan 'decided' earlier this year that she was gay. Of course, there was a huge uproar by the lesbian community claiming Lindsay was 'doing it for publicity.' Well... So what if she was?! If you don't pay attention to it and it turns out that a week later she's no longer a massive dyke, then who cares? Just let the girl do what she wants!

The last time I blogged, I gave some advice to the straight parents out there. Well, lesbians, now it's your turn: Stop complaining about stupid little things! Life's too short!

On behalf of all the lesbians-who-don't-constantly-moan committee, I say thank you Ilene, for laughs, tears and totally unrealistic story lines. :)

10 Favorite Lesbian Anthems...

So there are a lot of songs that I class personally as 'lesbians anthems'. I was just wondering, would 2009 produce any more great songs loved by Sapphic ladies?

Here I've produced a list of 10 songs (in no order!) that I, along with my lesbian friends, really love. It was harder to compile this list than I thought it would be, but I got there in the end... (Thanks to my friend Rosie.) And I've been extra careful not to let any lesbian imposters slip in there...

1) Hit Me With Your Best Shot (1980) - Pat Benatar.

So Pat isn't a lesbian... Doesn't mean we don't love her! With catchy lyrics, who cares?
If you like this song, you should also listen to:
  • Heartbreaker.
  • Love Is A Battlefield.
  • Shadows Of The Night.
2) Wait Another Day (2008) - Uh Huh Her.

1 lesbian. 1 possible lesbian. And that's not the best part! A relatively new band, starring The L Word's Leisha Hailey and the gorgeous Camila Grey, Uh Huh Her have charmed lesbian audiences all over the globe. They love their fans, and we love them.
Also listen to:
  • Covered.
  • Dreamer.
  • Not A Love Song.
3) Entertain (2005) - Sleater-Kinney.

Riot grrrl at it's best. There aren't really many riot bands left, but this song takes you back to the time when we were flooded with it. Great to dance to!
Also listen to:
  • One Beat.
  • All Hands On The Bad One.
  • What's Mine Is Yours.
4) Closer To Fine (1988) - Indigo Girls.

I have to say, the Indigo Girls are possibly one of my favorite lesbian bands... Ever. Their lyrics are sweet and meaningful and Closer To Fine just generally makes me happy.
Also listen to:
  • Romeo and Juliet.
  • Galileo.
  • Let It Be Me.
5) Crazy On You (1976) - Heart.

Gosh, look at that photo... You know you thought Heart were stunning back in the day. And their songs are raw, with guitar solos that almost make you pee your pants. Okay, maybe not pee your pants, but I'm sure you love them so much that you would pee your pants if they asked you to.
Also listen to:
  • Shell Shock.
  • Alone.
  • What About Love.
6) Not Listening (2008) - Sick Of Sarah.

The youngest and newest band of this list, Sick of Sarah are the closest thing to Riot Grrrl I've heard in years. They're catchy, wild and just plain gorgeous. To top it all off, their tune 'Not Listening' become the theme song to AfterEllen.com's Brunch With Bridget last year.
Also listen to:
  • Daisies.
  • Mr. Incredible.
  • Breakdown.
7) Echoing (1994) - The Murmurs.

Well done to Leisha Hailey! This is the second band featured in our list in which the lovely Ms. Hailey was a member of, but this song deserved a place. The best lyric obviously being "There's nothing disgusting about being gay, so many people have bad things to say, maybe they should try it some day..." What's not to love?!
Also listen to:
  • Genius.
  • La-Di-Da.
  • Underdog.
8) Down By The Water (1995) - PJ Harvey.

Despite being aesthetically yummy, lesbians love PJ Harvey's dreamy lyrics and beautiful songs. And there's nothing better to listen whilst having hot, steamy bedroom time. Not that I would know, of course...
Also listen to:
  • We Float.
  • Hair.
  • Rid Of Me.
9) Sucka Mofo (2007) - Northern State.

The final modern band on the list, Northern State are ultimately just... uber cool! Looking at them, you wouldn't think they were a rap group, but they are quite possibly the only rap group I can actually stand.
Also listen to:
  • Away Away.
  • Girl For All Seasons.
  • Vicious Cycle.
10) Edge of Seventeen (1982) - Stevie Nicks.

Last, but definitely not least, what lesbian music list would be complete without a dosage of Stevie Nicks? Amazing vocalist, amazing song-writer, is there anyone who will ever beat Stevie? Probably not. I'm willing to take on anyone who challenges that last statement...
Also listen to:
  • Leather And Lace.
  • And The Days Go By.
  • Crystal.
So there we have it, my top ten lesbian anthems and artists. Comment this with anyone you think I've missed.

And please don't kill me for not including Tegan & Sara in this blog...

5 down, 1 to go...

***WARNING, MAY CONTAIN SOME SPOILERS.***


So I seem to be the only gay in the world that's excited about The L Word's final season. (Except maybe for my friend, Rosie.)



Everyone's been negative about the whole 'CSI' theme the show has seemed to steer onto this season. Rumor has it (look away now if you don't want to know) that some gets killed and someone goes to prison.

There are rumors also circulating about who the victim is, and who will take the fall for the murder. As I previously blogged, Alice (played by the lovely Leisha Hailey) has been reported to be starring in a spin-off of the show, so most people are guessing it's not her. Who knows; there's always room for ghosts on The L Word.

Here's a promo to keep your excitement contained... Or is that really just me?
