Christina Kim addresses the "L Word" and the LPGA
Christina Kim perhaps is the The L word DVD's most outspoken golfer, so it's no surprise there's nothing low-key about her new book, Swinging From My Heels. She takes on a wide array of The L word DVD Set, but the one that likely will get the most attention is her take on how many lesbians there are on the women's pro tour.
Says Kim:
"Contrary to The L word DVD boxset many people think, we are not the Lesbians Playing Golf Association. By my count there are no more than two dozen gay women playing the tour right now. Considering there are 230 active The L word Seasons 1-6 DVD boxsetmembers, you're only talking about 10% of the players, which from everything I've read is in line with the population as a whole.
"I understand that thanks to The L word DVD and Internet porn many guys are keenly interested in girl-on-girl action, but to every player I know the issue is just not that big a deal. There are no super-freaky homophobes out here or militant man-haters. At most, a The L word DVD set's sexuality may be an occasional practice-round conversation piece: 'Hey, did you hear that so-and-so likes girls?' 'Really? Huh. So, did you hit an 8-iron or a 9?' "
The L word cast was revealed today by Showtime and an E! Online article. The Real L World is a reality series that will appear on Showtime this summer, taking its lead from the show that used to be
called The L word DVD. The L word DVD Set was a ground-breaking series, and now it has spawned a reality show designed to bring in the same demographic of viewers that were saddened by the series finale of The L word Seasons 1-6 DVD boxset a little over a year ago. The early cast reveal for The L word DVD is obviously designed to spark some interest for the new reality show and to give it some spice as the series premiere draws a bit close on Showtime.
The original L word DVD Set series ran for six seasons before coming to an end in March of 2009. Now the new version of the show will be produced by The L word DVD boxset creator Ilene Chaiken and executive produced by Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz. It is definitely a reality show that is aiming at specific demographics in the Showtime audiences and will hope to gain back the ratings share that The L word Seasons 1-6 DVD boxset had back when it was running new episodes for the network. The whole premise of The Real L word DVD will be to follow a group of lesbians living in Los Angeles, and follow them as they live their lives. It will be very similar to how the Real Housewives series,The L word DVD boxset has been worked and could end up attracting some of those fans as well.
The first key to creating any good reality The L word DVD is to get people involved that are going to be interesting, intriguing, or are going to cause trouble on the set. Showtime might have exactly what they were looking for with the group of six women that they have put together. The group of women includes a television development executive (Tracy), a Hollywood special effects artist (Whitney), Hollywood rep Nikki, and two of the girls are already planning to get married. The Real The L word DVD Set series premiere is set for Sunday, June 20th at 10 p.m. on Showtime, and will hold down that timeslot for its first season.
