This week Bridget has a 3Way, of sorts, with actresses Maile Flanagan and Maeve Quinlan.

Yes, the crazy women from the naughty little online show that we all love drop by for Brunch. Maile talks about winning an Emmy for her work on PBS' Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks, and Maeve discusses the bittersweet end of her reign as Paula Carlin on South of Nowhere.

Along the way, Maile and Maeve display their voice-over skills, argue over who is the most difficult to work with, and — when they can remember them — pimp their upcoming projects.

Watch new episodes of Brunch With Bridget Friday nights at 2 a.m. on LOGO, and watch previous episodes of Brunch here.

This week, Bridget invites to her bed the lovely, talented and funny Cathy Shim. While Cathy has done pretty much everything (had a band, acted in Reno 911!, appeared in an Eminem video) you may know her best for her role as Roxie in the lesbian web series 3Way.

This episode starts out with a friendly jigsaw puzzle challenge but the whole thing quickly turns into a play date from Hell.

Cathy's suitcase full of stuffed animals were a lovely addition to the show, but we're not sure why she thought it was a good idea to bring actual weaponry to Brunch. (Bridget can hurt herself with a pillow, so why should she be trusted with a sword?)

This past Sunday marked the annual Pride celebration in Los Angeles, and since many of us were already out getting farmer's tans and paying too much for bottled water anyway, we gathered for an informal meet-up at the end of the parade route outside of The Normandie Room.

A few of us AfterEllen.com vloggers (from Cherry Bomb, Ghostella's Tomb, We're Getting Nowhere, and Brunch with Bridget) and some of the women from 3Way were in attendance, and we were all thrilled to meet our fellow readers. Thanks to everyone who braved the mayhem and came out to say hello.

Below are some of the photos we took at the event, and some from readers who sent them in (thanks!). Happy Pride!

Last week, Jill Bennett, Dara Nai and I violated our collective parole and descended upon New York City. Our objective? To crash attend Logo's NewNowNext Awards and to help Sarah and Lori co-host an AfterEllen.com Meet-Up at Cowgirl.

Along the way, we also sprung AE vlogger Bridget McManus (Brunch with Bridget, You Can't Take Them Anywhere), Dara's partner Brooke, AE vlogger Dee (Come With Me If You Want to Live), the 3Way gals (Maeve Quinlan, Nancylee Myatt, Paige Bernhardt), Oscar-winning make-up artist Tami Lane, actor/comedian Gloria Bigelow, and Big Gay Sketch Show star Kate McKinnon.

We were shocked and thrilled by the sheer number of AE readers willing to brave the rain and allow us to make the pleasure of their acquaintance. Thank you to everyone for coming out to say hello!

Since not all of you who wanted to be there could make it, we shot some video footage of our journey to the meet-up (including a heated discussion about power tools) and our time at Cowgirl. Look closely and you may even catch a glimpse of yourself at the restaurant! (Hopefully, you weren't playing hookey from work that day like I was. Doesn't it seem like the boss is always watching?)

Check out more photos of the NYC meet-up and look for our coverage of the NewNowNext Awards on June 7th.

In the season finale of 3Way, Celia (Elizabeth Keener) invites Roxie, Andrea, Geri and Siobhan to Dinah Shore Weekend, where they run into stalker Leslie (Kristy Swanson), creepy Dr. Carlise (Cathy DeBuono), and delivery woman Rhonda (Bridget McManus).

And before you ask — yes, that's my sister (and 13-year-old niece) making a cameo near the end. I'm such a proud aunt. :)

3Way is slated to release the first season on DVD in July — we'll update you when we know more!

Yeehaw! That's all we can say about Bridget's blog this week with our favorite Cherokee cowgirl, writer and producer Nancylee Myatt (3Way, South of Nowhere, Nikki & Nora)

Bridget gets in bed with the woman who oversaw the birth of Spashley (although she doesn't really talk about that in the vlog); who created the greatest show (Nikki & Nora) about a couple of "ladycops" that you never saw on network television; and who had the huevos to put Maile Flanagan, Jill Bennett, Maeve Quinlan and Cathy Shim in a lesbian comedy together.

In addition to talking about Nancylee's career in television, Bridget and Nancylee also play with horses and buffalos (plastic) and talk about why spurs in bed are actually a bad idea (at least when they're worn by Bridget), while Baby Bridget officiates A Very Special Lesbian Doll Wedding. It's weird.

The 3Way roommates prepare for “lesbian spring break” in this sneak peek at their season finale, airing next Monday (look for more about that in the BLWE column on Friday).

In this extra-long episode of 3Way (22 mins!) Andrea, Roxie and Geri take Siobhan with them to the hot new lesbian bar in town, where Roxie gets into a showdown with Jenny Shimizu; Andrea helps Siobhan finally get some action (with a guy); and everyone runs into their exes, including pathological liar Celia (Elizabeth Keener), who hooks up with — who else? — Geri.

Plus: Siobhan's Young Doctors Who Cry co-star Winter Coat mysteriously shows up at the bar. Is she playing for the other team? I don't care, I just love that her name is Winter Coat!

In the last confessional of 3Way's first season, we learn what brought Siobhan to L.A., how Roxie and Geri met, and why Siobhan doesn't throw everyone out.
