supermodel of the world

Check out these hot pictures of the fabulous RuPaul from the new issue of HX magazine. Girl is looking hot an fierce. She knows how to give good face.

Next Monday will be the premiere of RuPaul's new show RuPaul's Drag Race. It is going to be some tranny hotness on the runway. I've been a huge fan of RuPaul since I was a kid. I remember watching her talk show on VH1 and loving it, not to mention her records which are on consistent play on my iPod.

I've never done drag myself, but I have always had a fascination with the ladies that really know how to work it and RuPaul is the Queen of them all. Anyway, check out her new show Feb. 2 on Logo.

the l word returns

So this is the new promo for the final season of the L word. I am not sure what to make of it. I have such a love/hate relationship which seems to be shared by every other fan I come across. The first season was excellent and then it has been hot and cold since then. If rumors are true about plot lines for the final season, it may well be a dud. So far I have read that transgender Max will be a focus of season 6... eewww no!!! Don't take a boring character and make them central.

This is what I wish they would do for the final season, get rid of characters that are fillers (I am looking at you, Max and Cybil Shepherd) and focus on the core group. Give them real story lines, including Pam Grier's Kit. You have the amazing Pam Grier on your show put her to good use. Secondly flesh these characters out. Bette was so intriguing to me because she had so many dimensions, now she is all about Tina and her love of Tina. Give them real careers and make them care about them. What happen to Bette's passion for the arts we say in season 1 that was so inspiring to me?? Give Jenny back her writing and Kit her music!! Anyway this concludes my rant for today.

Thank God for Bravo

Since it is summer that normally means that there is nothing to watch on t.v., which to be honest does give people a good excuse to go out and enjoy the sun, but once the sun sets what is a girl to do. Thankfully for me there is Bravo and all my reality shows to help fill the air waves until all the other networks bring back my favorite shows in the fall.

The new season of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List, premiered a week ago and I couldn't be happier. She is probably one of my favorite funny ladies and she cracks me up in every episode. She looks amazing this season as well. Besides D List, there is Flipping Out which I love, and of course Project Runway in July. This better be a good season of Runway because once it heads to lifetime I'll be done with the series.

Of course Bravo isn't the only network to have great programs running in the summer. I've been enjoying the new season of Weeds and Billie Piper's new show Diary of a Call Girl on Showtime and I will be looking forward to the return of the amazing and stellar Mad Men on AMC. I know this is a boring post but to be honest I haven't really been up to much lately. Any way I'm looking forward to this thursday's episode of D List when Kathy goes "down under" for Mardi Gras.

Battlestar Galactica

The other day I watched the mid-season finale of my favorite show Battlestar Galactica. This is easily probably one of the best drama on television today. Now I have to admit that at first I was hesitant to watch the show. I'm not a huge Sci-Fi fan and many programs on the Sci-Fi channel are extremely disappointing (save for Farscape). I have to give Michael the credit for making me watch the show and I was instantly hooked on this smart and sexy series. It also helped that Lucy Lawless guest starred on the series and I am huge fan of hers.

So anyway back to the mid-season finale, now I expected something amazing since the writing on this show is superb as well as the acting. I don't want to say to much and give any thing away but I was intrigued and blown away on how they left it and can't wait for the series to come back. For me as a viewer most of the time I really honestly forget that I am watching a Science-Fiction program because the conflicts and ideas expressed in the series are so much deeper and broader.

The shows deals with issues around politics that mirror the contemporary situation we are in with Iraq, questions on religion and the existence of God, and the always tenuous connection of family. I just felt the need to express my love for this series on a broader format then just debating the show with Michael. If you get the chance to rent the show on DVD or catch a marathon I suggest you sit down and watch it. I promise you, Battlestar will leave you still thinking about all the questions the series raises.

Say It Ain't So...

I had heard the rumors, but now it is confirmed. My favorite show on the f*cking planet is coming to an end. Yes, the sapphic soap the L word will return for a brief eight episode season next year and then say good bye. I was trying to brace myself for this possibility but hoped that deep down the show would last for another five seasons. It seems so strange, as if only the show just aired for the first time versus the five years in which I have grown to love the fierce lesbian ladies and their fabulous lives that make up this phenomenal show.

So now that Sex and the City is gone and and no more the L word I'll have to find a new fix of glamorous women, let's hope ABC and NBC renew Cashmere Mafia and Lipstick Jungle. All I have to say is thank god for DVD where I can revisit Jenny (Mia Kushner) and my personal favorite Bette (played by Jennifer Beals of Flashdance fame) any time I want.
