I get a lot of questions about The Real L Word. Even though I only watched two or three episodes of season two, I devoted about 100 hours to thought, discussion and recapping the first season. Also, Rose from season one called me a bitch on Facebook and Nikki and Jill second that emotion, which means I’m still qualified to answer your questions. I’ve compiled a list of my most popular Real L Word questions into one post, for your convenience. Let us continue to beat this dead beaver into the cold, cold ground.
Are the Real L Word girls on Facebook?
Yes, yes they are.

Mikey is probably the only person in this picture who wouldn't punch me in the face. So she's my fav.
Can I friend them?
You can try, but most of them are at or are close to the 5000 friend limit or value their privacy. Many of them have fan Facebook pages, where you can “like” them and keep on top of their comings and goings and sometimes see pics of them naked/in bikinis. Yay!
Are they on Twitter?
Yes, google search their names plus twitter and it will pop up. I would list it for you but I’m lazy.
Can you tell me what Whitney’s tattoo’s mean?
No, see above lazy comment.
Do you have any pictures of Whitney lying down naked?
Um no. How would I get those?! I don’t have any personal pictures of any of the women. You can try to get your own by going to one of the queer parties they frequent. One of my readers even saw boobs.
How do the girls on The Real L Word have sex?
Dude, you are obvs a str8 person who wants me to describe lesbian sex to you. just watch the show! They will show you how they do it. You don’t need to hear it from me or any other lesbian. Please, never ask a lesbian you meet in real life this question, it’s really insulting/annoying/creepy.
What do lesbians think of The Real L Word?
Dear Str8 Person- this is a completely reasonable and respectful question to ask. Thanks for restoring my faith in humanity. Okay, I can’t speak for everyone. From what I see, most younger (teen-20ish) lesbians love it and aspire to live it. The 25-35 bracket loves to hate it and when we are at our worst, we can admit that sometimes…it is disturbingly accurate of all the crazy. The 35plus bracket is too smart to watch this crap.

Maybe if Natalie had come back for season 2, I would have watched.
I have to admit that I love trashy reality TV and I’m addicted to it like a mofo. The first season of The Real L Word lagged in terms of interesting storylines and for some reason the second season just didn’t keep my attention. I can’t pinpoint the exact reason why.
My main problem with the show is that I don’t like that it shows the full blown act of sex. Most reality shows just imply it, but for some reason, the lone lesbian reality TV show has explicit porno scenes. In the original series, “The L Word,” there is a scene where Jenny’s book, “Les Girls” is being made into a movie. The str8 male director wants the actresses to actually have real sex, instead of just simulating it, like most movies. Jenny and Tina are disgusted, roll their eyes and nix the idea. Maybe Ilene Chaiken forgot about that scene, as she is the creator of both series. It’s great to have representation on TV, but we aren’t being treated like everyone else and that really grinds my gears.
If you have any Real L Word comments or questions, get them out of your system in the comments!
I hate it for the sex reason- it’s too freaking much. And in order to have a reality show about lesbians they have to get it on constantly but Bachelor Pad, even, doesn’t go close to exposing all the naughty details. That said, I watched the LAST 3 episodes of this season and liked them. It had a lot of coming out to parents, attempts at baby-making, and realistic partying, and relationship realities. I have no questions, just this – let the haters be your motivators.
Thanks for sharing why you hate it, I completely agree. Bachelor Pad and Jersey Shore are arguably the trashiest shows on TV and they don’t even come close to Real L Word level.
Hmm well if you liked the last 3, I might check it out. 😉
Woah! Get out of towwwwn! Rose called you a bitch on FB? What did you dooooo?
The Real L Word is uh, not my cup of tea. I mean, it’s not my cup of arsenic. I watched a few episodes because my friend promised me it would get better. She is no longer my friend.
She did! Rose and Whitney did this contest where you could win a date with them. So I wrote an article (back when I was writing for a big lez website) about how much it would suck to date either one of them. Oops!
But you know, if you go on National TV and get motorboated by strippers while your girlfriend sits at home and wonders where you are, don’t blame me for suggesting you aren’t a great date.
LOL. I hope your friend gets back into your good graces someday.
“The 35plus bracket is too smart to watch this crap.” Well, you’ve certainly nailed what I think about this series, not to imply that I’m such a spewing fountain of brain cells. Having wasted 2.916 days of my life watching every one of the 70 episodes of the original series, I cannot donate one more second of my time to this spin-off, you appropriately refer to as “this crap”. I also think that the original series would be better named The Un-real ‘L’ Word now, a far more appropriate title for a TV show that was consistently ludicrous.
You had me at “spewing fountain of brain cells.”
I thought the sex was the best part of the show… Best lesbian porn I’ve ever seen. My problem w/ season 2 was that they opened w/ hot sex, making me think it was gonna be like season 1- full of Whitney fucking hot girls. They got me to watch the whole effin series that way, but it never happened again—gdamn pussy-teasers!!!!!!!!
But I do wanna know what all their tats say…. These chicks have a lotta stuff written on their bodies….
Thanks for weighing in girl!
