High Infidelity

When L Word fans think of “infidelity,” Shane is the one among this gang who immediately comes to mind.

Perhaps Bette Porter is the greater offender. To others, she appears righteous, moralistic and a textbook type-A personality—which she is.

Sex with an Ex

Are You a Member of the Vulva Mafia?

First off, I want to respond to some of the feedback I've been receiving. I realize these v-logs seem to start in the middle of a thought process, so I'd like to explain myself: With each v-log, I pick an issue or a theme from The L Word explores, and integrate it into a discussion about our lives — okay, my life and those of my friends. But the objective is to inspire you to share your own stories with a v-log or with your own feedback. Okay, just wanted to give you some context.
