"She Likes Girls 3" coming soon on DVD

No, it's not porn, but it is yet another great example of self-explanatory film titles. She Likes Girls 3 is, in fact, the third installment of the popular lesbian shorts compilation series from Wolfe Video.

I'm not exactly sure who the "She" is in the title, but we have a lot in common — I also like three girls in shorts. Oh, wait...

Set for a Dec. 2 release, SLG3 contains eight short films by lesbian directors Guinevere Turner (Go Fish, The L Word), T.M. Scorzafava (Gillery's Little Secret), Erin Greenwell (Big Dreams in Little Hope), Cassandra Nicolaou (Show Me), and Roberta Marie Munroe (Dani and Alice), among others.

The collection casts a wide net across our little lesbian pond — each short explores a different aspect of our lives: sex toys as gifts, relationships in small towns, bad hair choices, the ultimate excuse for standing up a date, and of course, hot lesbian vampires. That about sums up my weekend, how about you? … continue reading

The Big Gay Sketch Show: "Dynasty" Parody

What do you get when you put Kate McKinnon, Nicol Paone, and Julie Goldman in the same room, and add shoulder pads, a slap-fight, a pool dunking, great '80s commercial taglines, and a lesbian kiss? A very funny Dynasty parody!

The Big Gay Sketch Show: Dynasty

No, this skit from BGSS's second season isn't new, but it's new to DVD, and it makes me laugh every time I watch it. From Erica Ash's comment about being the token black character to Kate and Nicol's "tastes great, less filling" line, it's just like being 12 years old again and watching the show in bed with my mom and my sister. But funnier. And with more lesbian kissing.

 

Brunch in the Big Apple (Brunch With Bridget, Episode 21)

This week, Bridget broadcasts her show from New York City and welcomes guest Kate McKinnon from The Big Gay Sketch Show.  

Yes, we all know Kate's funny and talented, but did you know that she's also a serious musician and the number one fan of Special Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) of The X-Files?  Neither did Bridget initially, but she has her own ways of gathering this sort of intel.

In addition to testing her knowledge of all things Scully/Gillian, Bridget talks to Kate about comedy and her Disenchanted takeon fairy tales, and the two rock out to an Alanis Morissette song on the drums and guitar. Sort-of.

Photos of the 2008 AfterEllen.com NYC Meet-Up

Last Sunday a bunch of AfterEllen.com vloggers and staff along with the women of 3Way attended a NYC meet-and-greet with some of you. We were expecting a a few dozen people, and got a around 200 instead! It was crazy! But in a good way (mostly). It was great to meet everyone and see some of the faces behind the usernames.

Below are some photos from the event — about half are from our new NYC photographer Saidi Granados, and the others from readers and our own cameras (thanks to the readers who sent them in!). Enjoy!

Note: Jenn, Cathy Shim and Maile Flanagan couldn't attend at the last minute due to schedule conflicts.

Kate and Julie's Big Gay Vlog: Episode 2

Kate McKinnon and Julie Goldman are back to answer your questions about The Big Gay Sketch Show. In this episode, they address which sketch made them laugh so hard they got yelled at, how the Fitzwilliam and Super Liza characters came about, and whether they're actually friends in real life.

And they do it all from a sketchy basement somewhere in Midtown Manhattan, complete with an echo and weird lighting. It's so James Bond! And so wrist-cuffy...(Yes, I love that phrase, and I try to drop it into casual conversation whenever I can. So what if it doesn't actually mean anything? It's fun!)
