Gimme gimme more pt. 3

So. Not. Much. Happened. And yet, more happened on this ep than on the last one. Sigh, again.
I missed the beginning, TW and I were out grocery shopping cuz we gots to eat and so I saw Alex and Robin meeting with a duder and some chick about their supposed club night.

Robin decided that it would be a good idea to have Bathilda's ex go on a blind date with Sayeh the Girlgin. Then, surprisingly, the rest of the gang – Bathilda included – show up. How much I love watching lesbian drama when it's not mine! And also, I love how Robin was like, "What's the big deal? Meh." Awesome.

And the rest of the ep was all about Alex's birthday, because she finally turned 21. She got a lap dance at Truck Stop, her girl crush Paris showed up oh, and the 145-year-old duder she's been dating shows up to surprise her. And, surprise, the lesbians were miffed. Paris "asks" the guy to take a hike, he does and the girls go home to smoosh cake in each other's faces. No, seriously, that's how the ep ended. It's all good though.

Gimme gimme more pt. 2

Oh ladies of "Gimme Sugar" on Logo. Where do I begin? We were only halfway into the show and already my eyes grew weary from rolling.
The show begins with the gaggle asking the Truck Stop owners if they can give them advice about running a club night. Two questions later, the girls are completely confused and back to square one, with a stern "you can't ask Charlene for help" dictation. Ugh. I love it when people have absolutely no idea about how to do things but want to skip to the fun part. The fun part here being turned magically into club promoters. There are steps for these things, people. One of them? Education about what you're trying to do.

We've got some drama in the middle with ex-girlfriends/current girlfriends/close "friends" and the usual mix of alcohol. Ah, to be a carefree lesbian in L.A.

Have I mentioned yet that they can't agree on the name of the supposed night? Blush or Sugar. Sugar or Blush. And, yes, still haven't decided. But they did manage to raise about $260 from their all-day car wash, which probably scarred some kids and made some dads and moms uncomfortable. It made me a little uncomfortable.

Overall, the girls were more annoying and catty than they were in the first ep, but I still have faith in the show and will probably watch it every Monday night it's on. Until I become a club promoter.

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.
