Gimme gimme more

No, this isn't about Brittany's single, "Gimme More," it's about "Gimme Sugar," a new show on LOGO about a troupe of lesbians living in L.A. and trying to start a special club night at its favorite lesbian bar, Truck Stop. There are five main characters, but during the first episode, they already introduced Sayeh, a 21-ish chicky who states she's "deep in the closet" and introduces the word "girlgin" (as in, yes, hasn't yet had sex with a girl). Whew. The show centers around Charlene, the 26-year-old manager of Truck Stop. Wait. You mean to tell me that she's the manager? Of a hip lesbian bar? I went to school for all the wrong reasons. Sigh.

Her four main friends — Alex, Robin, Bathilda, Davonee — all contribute to the main reason this show will become marginally popular. They're relatively easy on the eyes and they love them some drama. Again, what is a reality show without the drama? Which, you can watch from a safe distance and enjoy it enough to say "We'd never do that. Gulp." Ah, I love me some lesbians.

The reason I got sucked into the premiere? Because reruns of "Exes and Oh's" still has yet to make me a fan and if you read a few posts back, I spent the better part of the last weekend watching "The L Word." I need something new to fixate on and I already watched all of "Curl Girls" during a marathon a month back. Meh. Here's to "Gimme Sugar." Don't let me down.
