So I’m told that North Americans TV-watching dykes have been awaiting with bated breath the first episodes of The L word. The ultimate dyke soap?

OFFICIAL PLOT SUMMARY:
Jenny is a gifted young writer of fiction who just completed her MFA at the Iowa Writer's Workshop. With a major literary award and one published short story to her credit, she arrives in Los Angeles to begin her "adult life" with her boyfriend - soon to be fiancé – Tim, a women’s swim coach at a large state university.
They reside in West Hollywood, next door to Bette Porter, a museum director, and her partner Tina . Bette and Tina have been a couple for seven years and are trying to find the perfect sperm donor to help them to start a family as they struggle with their relationship and the roles they've chosen or found themselves in and what it all means to their future.
Bette and Tina's close network of friends includes Shane, a hairdresser and the resident heartthrob; Dana, a professional tennis player not yet out of the closet; bisexual journalist Alice and Bette's half-sister Kit, a musician and a recovering alcoholic.

UNOFFICIAL PLOT SUMMARY:
The L Word is about the trials and tribulations of a group of friends in L.A., most of whom are lesbians.
The previously-straight Jenny moves to L.A. to be with her boyfriend, who has befriended next-door neighbors Tina and Bette. Tina and Bette introduce Jenny to the alluring Marina , who owns a local cafe, and Marina and Jenny begin a slow dance of seduction that eventually culminates in an affair, leaving Jenny torn between her love for Tim and her feelings for Marina.
Bette and Tina, meanwhile, have been in a stable relationship for seven years and are now trying to have a child, but are frustrated by the difficulties in finding a suitable sperm donor. Tina is a bit at loose ends after quitting her studio development job in order to focus on getting pregnant, and the amount of time Bette spends at her job as a museum director is putting a strain on their relationship. Bette is a type-A personality who sees herself as the "adult" of the group, and she has a complicated relationship with her older half-sister Kit , a straight musician and recovering alcoholic.
Shane is a hairdresser who "doesn't do relationships," but sleeps with a different woman every night instead--including one who wants more than a one-night stand.
Dana is a perpetually-single professional tennis player headed for stardom in the tennis world--as long as she stays closeted. She has been willing to make this trade-off in the past, but it becomes increasingly difficult for her when she unexpectedly falls in love with the sous-chef at her country club.
As the only openly bisexual woman in the group, journalist Alice is looking for the same qualities in a man or a woman, and her love interests include an "emotionally-crippled" ex-girlfriend and a lesbian-identified man named Lisa.

MY SUMMARY
A bunch of all American, perfect, palatable girls with regular income, bleached teeth and no VPL, selected to fulfil male fantasies across the globe will legitimise mass-masturbation by having plots and subplots while they move around in different outfits and settings across the small screen but never do anything real or believable.
*nodding off..*

I’m bored already.


Oh, I can’t leave it at that. I just can’t. I simply had to go back to the site and here’s what I found: a bit of the script! Enjoy.

JENNY: "Beautiful. Who lives there? Susie Homemaker?"

As if in answer, she hears a husky voice, mid-sentence.

SHANE (O.C.): "Bette and Tina gave me a key so I can swim in the buff, which I can't do at the Chateau..."

Without thinking, Jenny obscures herself and watches as...

SHANE McCUTCHEON emerges, poolside. On first glance, you could mistake her for a boy -- average height, but lanky and lithe; short, shaggy haircut. Casual yet somehow transcendentally cool. She wears faded jeans, big black biker boots, a heavy low-slung belt buckle, un-self-conscious garnishments of leather. In one smooth move, she unlatches her belt and pulls her T-shirt over her head: and there's no mistaking her now. She has a lean, boyish/girlish body with just enough curves -- has truly great breasts. She stretches, indulges the sun on her body -- the perfect embodiment of super-sexy, sultry androgyny -- and calls toward the house.

SHANE (CONT'D) "C'mon, get your butt out here."

A pretty GIRL appears, could be a model...more likely an actress. Meanwhile, Shane sheds her boots and jeans and, buck naked DIVES in. The actress/model starts to undress.

Jenny turns away, ashamed by her voyeurism, and bends to pick another flower. Then something catches her eye.

BACK OVER THE FENCE, the actress/model is on her back, naked, on a raft, and Shane has just swum over. She slithers up onto the raft and climbs on top of the girl. Sensually, the girl arcs her body up to meet Shane's and,
undulating, wet and glistening, they start to ****.
Jenny stares, wide-eyed, riveted. Her jaw drops. She turns away, then back again. Her breath goes a little shallow.

I can barely contain myself I’m soo excited.
Give me Tipping the Velvet and its leather strap-ons and back alley sex any day.
