a small village just outside of ... zambia?

watching the web series "venice" and i'm still loving it, but this recent episode had a little bit of a gaffe. two characters were getting to know each other, one telling the other that she had been in the peace corps. the potential boyfriend asked "where?" to which she replied - "a little village outside of zambia?" really? they couldn't have done better research to find out that zambia's a COUNTRY and there are thousands of villages on its border.

oh well, guess it can't be perfect ...

venice the series - shameless promotion

generally, i wouldn't post a video that didn't look just perfect in my layout, but this is a special circumstance. best birthday present ever!

december 4, 2009

i've had some pretty good birthdays in my life - trips to ny to see ellen degeneres before she was famous, a blow-out 21st bash at the tombs, fondue with friends - but i just found out that this year is going to ROCK!

i've posted before about venice the series and my overwhelming joy that crystal chappell is playing a lesbian. didn't think it could get much better than that until i saw this ...

Venice The Series - Season One - Teaser from Venice The Series on Vimeo.

this is the one year i won't mind if you don't call!

all the straight couples will kiss and the lesbians will hold hands

it's finally here - the end of guiding light! you'll remember that i became a big fan of the show some time back when i realized that crystal chappell was playing a lesbian. let me take that back - since she and her female love interest never actually kissed, i think it would better be described as ...

"playing a character whose love dare not speak its name,
but, in the end, if you must utter - DEFINITELY don't show the lovin' !"

think i'm kidding? watch the last minute of this clip. and this is five months after they professed their love for each other.



yep. the most we can get is some face rubbing. really, it's good that the show is ending because any more of this caressing and they will wear the skin right off their cheeks.


alas, all is not lost. this lack of proper story line motivated crystal chappell and her friends to fight back. soon they will produce a web series called "venice" that will tell the story of a lesbian from venice, ca. turns out that the lesbian is crystal chappell and her former girlfriend on the series is none other than the actress that played her "love" interest on guiding light!!! watch her talk about it here ...



(right now i know you're thinking - i am SO glad that i logged on to flipflop fed!! you can thank me later!)

i know that this is a lot to process. i'll leave you to your pondering.

the whole world's catching on

even the ny times had keyed in to crystal chappell.
