THE L WORD

I think I may have watched the very first episode of the L Word, but I'm not sure. For some reason, I have some memories of watching a show with lesbians in it. Or was that just some preview?

I was booked as an art museum goer and the info line instructed us to bring several changes. That is when I realized I don't have a lot of funky taste in me. I need to go shopping.

Nevertheless, I brought a few changes and the wardrobe girl seemed appreciative of my choices. She put me in all black with a brown derby hat. She also liked the black fingernails. It seemed like they got a lot of reactions from the ladies. I considered keeping them for some time.

We shot at the Hammer museum in Westwood, very close to the UCLA campus. The rumor today (which actually held true) was that we would be shooting until 1am. On set, I saw all the principles, but the ones that caught my eye were Pam Grier, Cybil Shepherd (for their fame), Mia Kershner and Jennifer Beals (for their beauty).

After a scene inside the museum, we moved outside where we were supposed to react to a multi-media display. While waiting for the crew to set-up, John (an old-school black guy who may have been a hustler in his early days) was amazed to see how naive a young white girl from Sacramento could be. She was pretty, but in a small-town, white trash kind of way.
