GET IN THE RING IT’S TIME FOR LESBIAN OIL WRESTLING. Carly’s actual wife, legendary actress and photographer Robin Roemer joins us as we get greased up and Molly Kroll is loving it!!! This week on The L Word, Tasha walks up and down the same hallway for a week, Alice delivers a killer blind item in hopes of snagging a big TV job, Jenny and Niki are honestly just very extra, Jodi talks about sex to her ex, Molly is convinced that Shane wants to bang her and listen we’re all here for the oil wrestling right, let’s do it!
Carly: So, we open back up on a flyer for SheBar’s night of lesbian Turkish oil wrestling. And the flyer is the best thing I have ever seen. It’s a naked photo of Dawn and Cindi embracing that looks like — is it one of the ones that was also inside their house framed?
Riese: Yeah! And so for years — and I know this because my ex was involved in it — they did Turkish lesbian oil wrestling nights in Brooklyn, and it was once a year, and it was a whole night thing, and it was mostly run by POC, and it was open to women and also to trans people. And one of the people who was involved in it, who was an MC, whose name was like Parisa, I think? She was also a designer, and she designed — she had this line called Rigged Outfitters that you may remember from that era?
Riese: Rigged Outfitters. You know, and this was when it was really cool to put a ton of words on a shirt, and then make it look like it had been run over. But anyway, so she became part of the whole thing, and so that’s probably how Ilene Chaiken found out about lesbian Turkish oil wrestling. Now actually this woman does this — well probably not now, because no one can do anything right now, but she’s still an artist and a designer and stuff, and she lives here and does this underground dinner series and stuff.
Riese: Yeah, and Kit reveals that she has had to spend $8,000 on all of the shit that she had to do because of the rats that the SheBar bitches put in her cafe! And that is not fair or kind! And then they’re ready for Nikki on set, I think? Or for Jenny, who cares. Adele fake drops the loyal — “loyal,” haha — the oil wrestling lesbian flyers on the ground.
