Lip Service - British answer to the L word

Lip Service is a British television serial drama portraying the lives of a group of lesbian women in Glasgow, Scotland. Production on the series, which stars Laura Fraser, Ruta Gedmintas and Fiona Button, began in summer 2009 in Glasgow. The show debuted on BBC Three on 12 October 2010.
Laura Fraser, Ruta Gedmintas and Fiona Button have been cast as the three female lead roles in Lip Service, a bold new drama for BBC Three about the sex lives and love affairs of twenty-something lesbians living in contemporary Glasgow.

The six-part series, which was filmed in Glasgow in October, was written and created by Harriet Braun.

Harriet says of the series: "Based on my own experiences and those of my friends, I wanted to write a sexy, funny and irreverent drama that reflects what it is to be a young gay woman living in Britain today.

"I loved The L Word but it's high time we saw some contemporary British lesbians, with all the bad weather, trips to the pub and repressed emotions that go with that. It will be as funny as it is pathos filled, because in my experience that's how life is."

Ruta Gedmintas plays Frankie, an irreverent and provocative photographer who avoids commitment at all turns; Laura Fraser plays Cat – Frankie's former lover, who may not be as immune to Frankie's charms as she professes to be; and Fiona Button plays Tess – Cat's best friend and flatmate who has an uncanny knack of attracting all the wrong sorts of women.

As well as the three lead roles, major supporting roles in Lip Service include Roxanne McKee as Lou, Emun Elliott as Jay, Heather Peace as Sam, James Anthony Pearson as Ed and Tom Mannion as Frankie's uncle Cameron, amongst others.

Here are the characters:

Character profile: Frankie

A spirited photographer who's emotionally off-the-rails, Frankie attracts trouble at every turn. She comes across as fearless and irreverent but strip away the bravado and she's the most vulnerable of the group. Occasionally bisexual, Frankie generally only uses men for sex but falls in love with women. Intimacy is a problem for Frankie. She bailed on her relationship with Cat before giving it a chance, escaping to New York. For Frankie, casual sex offers an opportunity to run away from herself when rest of her life is in freefall. Frankie's home life is difficult. Her parents died when she was a child and she was raised by her Aunt Carol and bullish Uncle Cameron who's always treated her like an outsider. When Aunt Carol dies, Frankie returns home but her return isn't welcomed by everyone.

Actor info

Ruta Gedmintas previously played Elizabeth Blount in BBC Two historical drama The Tudors.

Character profile: Cat

A self-assured architect, Cat is a driven control freak with a tendency to fret and analyse everything and anything, rarely leaping before she looks. A loyal friend and loving sister to Ed, Cat is able to be very open with those closest to her but is often cagey and secretive in relationships, finding it hard to really open up. Cat's first big love was the exciting - but wild - Frankie. Teenage best friends, they fell in love in their twenties but then Frankie bailed out and took off to the States.

Actor info

Laura Fraser was brought up in Glasgow. She recently played lead roles in the movies Cuckoo and The Boys Are Back.
Character profile: Tess

Struggling actress Tess is Cat's best friend and flatmate who has an uncanny knack of falling for all the wrong sorts of women. Terribly sardonic, Tess' vulnerable side is buried under self-deprecating comments, sarcasm and anger. In contrast to her organised and tidy flatmate Cat, Tess is scandalously messy and lives a chaotic life. Sometimes lacking confidence, Tess is a sucker for women who treat her badly. Although she might rant to her friends when a girlfriend treats her badly, Tess generally ignores their advice, letting lovers off the hook whenever they feed her a sob story.

Actor info

Fiona Button studied at Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art. Her most notable role to date is that of Lucy Bedford in the Palace.
Character profile: Ed

A gentle bloke and true friend, Ed is very close to his sister, Cat. A would-be novelist, Ed pays the rent with temping work, often working alongside Tess in times of need. Ed's love life is a disaster and he puts his lack of success with women down to not being macho enough. Ed has a secret and long-standing crush on Tess but she is completely oblivious to his adoration, seeing him merely as a good friend and confidante.

Actor info

James Antony Pearson was born in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, studied Mathematics at Edinburgh University and now lives in Glasgow. He is best known for his role as Bernard Sumner in Anton Corbijn's film, Control.
Character profile: Jay

Jay has been friends with Cat since their days at university and they now work together at a city centre architect's firm. A key part of the group, Jay is particularly close to Frankie. A self-confessed womaniser, Jay has been faithful to his current girlfriend Becky for quite some time - by his standards at least. But, unfortunately for Becky, her love doesn't diminish his never-ending desire for affirmation through sex.

Actor info

Emun Elliot was rasied in Edinburgh. He started a degree in English Literature and French at Aberdeen University before dropping out to train at the Royal Scottish Academy of music and Drama. He recently played the lead role of Dr Christian King in Paradox.
Character profile: Sam

A detective sergeant with the police, Sam is Cat's first date since her break-up with Frankie. Sam is stable, funny, cynical and insightful. She rarely hides her feelings, preferring things out in the open - Sam can be disarmingly honest and expects the same level of honesty back. She doesn't like to play games in her relationships. Although she can be very understanding she has a lot of self-respect and won't be messed around.

Actor info

Heather Peace was born in Bradford. She has appeared in Ultimate Force, London's Burning and The Chase.
Character profile: Lou

Stunningly attractive and charming when she wants to be, daytime TV presenter Lou Foster has quickly worked her way up the media ladder. On a superficial level she has an amazing ability to charm and knows how to flatter, but her mood can change in an instant and she can be hugely selfish and unreasonable. Although Lou likes the attention she gets from men, she has always secretly fancied women. Lou doesn't like the idea of being viewed as a lesbian, but she is desperate to sleep with a woman and her relationship with Tess brings out the best and worst in her.

Actor info

Roxanne McKee was born in Worthing. She studied Social Policy & Political Studies at the University of London before going on to win the role of Louise Summers in Hollyoaks.

L book of the Week - Portia's new book is out !!!

OMG ! I'm so happy I get to watch Portia's interview with Oprah earlier since I have work when it was shown live on TV. She looked gorgeous during her interview. I can't wait to read her book.

If you don't know her, Portia de Rossi was born "Amanda Lee Rogers" in Horsham, Victoria, Australia,the daughter of Margaret, a medical receptionist, and Barry Rogers. She was raised in Grovedale, a suburb of Geelong. As a child, she modelled for print and TV commercials. She adopted the name Portia de Rossi at the age of 15, stating in 2005 that she had intended to reinvent herself, using the given name of Portia, a character from William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, and an Italian last name.

Portia de Rossi is an open lesbian. She was married to documentary filmmaker Mel Metcalfe, from 1996 to 1999, as part of a plan to get a green card, but says that "it just obviously wasn't right" for her. In a 2010 interview on Good Morning America she explained that as a young actress she was fearful of being exposed as gay. From 2000 to 2004, de Rossi dated singer Francesca Gregorini, daughter of actress Barbara Bach and stepchild of Ringo Starr. She said most of her family and Ally McBeal cast mates did not know she was a lesbian until tabloid pictures of the couple were published. She declined to publicly discuss the relationship or her sexual orientation at the time.

De Rossi and Gregorini broke up in late 2004 as de Rossi began dating talk show host and comedian Ellen DeGeneres, whom she met backstage at an awards show. In 2005, she opened up publicly about her sexual orientation in interviews with Details and The Advocate. She became engaged to Ellen DeGeneres after the talk show host proposed to her with a three-carat pink diamond ring. They were married on August 16, 2008 at their Beverly Hills home, with 19 guests including their respective mothers.

She struggled with the eating disorder anorexia nervosa for four years while filming Ally McBeal.

Portia de Rossi supports a variety of charitable organizations, including Locks of Love, a group that provides human hair wigs at no cost for children with complete alopecia and other medical conditions that cause hair loss. She has also supported fundraising efforts for FXB International, an African AIDS relief organization, and The Art of Elysium, an art foundation for terminally ill children. An avid animal lover, de Rossi also supports Alley Cat Allies, an organization dedicated to protecting and improving the lives of cats.

In her free time, de Rossi enjoys riding horses.

On August 6, 2010, she filed a petition to legally change her name to Portia Lee James DeGeneres. The petition was granted on September 23, 2010.

In 2010 de Rossi published a book Unbearable Lightness which talks about the turmoil that she has experienced in her life. To promote the book she appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show.













5th part will be added later... problems with MEGAVIDEO arghh !!





Here's the latest news about Portia:

Portia de Rossi comes clean about how she used to “swallow her words instead of her food” in a new book that will address the darker period of her life before coming out and finding love with Ellen DeGeneres. In a forthcoming interview with the Advocate, de Rossi explains how much of her life when first breaking into Hollywood was a contradiction.

A “staunch feminist,” she first starred on the hit Ally McBeal, a show which prompted Time magazine to ask “Is Feminism Dead?” She also never used to talk politics, even when she first spoke about her relationship with DeGeneres in a 2005 issue of the The Advocate. Now, de Rossi finds herself in a powerful position to speak up for gay marriage, she says, and will do so in her book.

“I feel like my life can actually kind of stand for something.
And I don’t mean that in a self-aggrandizing way, like, ‘Look at me, I
can make a difference.’ But I feel like, maybe I get why I’m here,” she says.

During a recent appearance on The View to promote her sitcom Better Off Ted,
De Rossi dished it out to conservative host
Elisabeth Hasselbeck on the subject of gay marriage: “Without the word,
we don’t have equal rights…. Every citizen of this country should have
that right.”

Manga
Written by	Nanae Haruno
Published by	Shueisha
Demographic	Josei

Original run	April 1998 – October 1999

Anime and Manga Portal

Pietà (ピエタ^?) is a Japanese josei yuri manga by Nanae Haruno. It was originally serialized in the manga magazine Young You, published by Shueisha. The chapters were collected into two tankōbon volumes, the first released on April 19, 2000 and the second on May 19, 2000. The second volume also contains a sequel short story, "A Week at the Beach," showing the main characters at a later time.

The word "pietà" is Italian for "pity" or "mercy".

Plot

Rio Sakaki is a high school girl who cuts herself and has attempted suicide few times. She is unloved by her family—her stepmother is especially abusive, and her father, while aware of the abuse, does nothing to stop it. At the beginning of the manga, Rio meets Sahoko Higa, a classmate who spent two years as a hikikomori. They fall in love and begin spending a lot of time together, but Rio's inner demons, especially those that involve the gaps in her memory and her deceased baby sister, threaten to cause Rio to relapse into a suicidal state.

Characters

Rio Sakaki (賢木理央, Sakaki Rio^?)

Due to being neglected by her family, Rio is withdrawn and depressed. She has few hopes and ambitions for the future, and at her stepmother's insistence, she lives in a different house, away from her family.

Sahoko Higa (比賀佐保子, Higa Sahoko^?)

A classmate of Rio, although she is two years older. Before the manga begins, she went through a period in which she refused to come out of her room. As a way to relieve her stress, she does not live with her parents, but she still has a decent relationship with them.

Shoumitsu Minori (御法先生, Minori Shōmitsu^?)

Rio's psychologist. He and his wife first met Rio seven years before the manga begins. He has high hopes for Rio's recovery, but worries about the negative influence of her family.

Kyouko Minori (御法鏡子, Minori Kyōko^?)

Like her husband Shoumitsu, she is a psychologist. She was the one who oversaw Sahoko's treatment during her hikikomori stage. Like her husband, she cares greatly about Rio, but she fears that they cannot help her.

Shigeko Sakaki (賢木繁子, Sakaki Shigeko^?)

Rio's stepmother. She has two children of her own, one by a previous lover and one by Rio's father. She hates Rio and emotionally abuses her. Rio's father does nothing to stop the abuse, as he claims that he cannot seem to love Rio because he is uncertain if she is really his biological daughter.

My personal note: (Warning: SPOILERS Ahead !)

This is the very first YURI manga I've ever finished reading. It was intriguing at first, due to its dark nature since the main character is suicidal, although she has her own reasons for doing it. She lives alone in a house apart from his family, his real mom died so his father married another woman, who is the cruelest step mother I've even come across in the Yuri world.

I liked the story especially the part that she was saved by a girl who set aside his own dilemmas just to let her realize to the beauty of being alive. It's one hell of an experience for Sahoko since it opened her eyes towards lesbian relationships.

It was a happy ending indeed, I wished they could make an anime out of it. It'll surely be a hit.

Formspring - an addicting Q&A social site

While browsing the other day, I came across a social website designed to ask random questions; the description shows “Ask questions, give answers and learn more about your friends. Give it a try!” It’s a cool and unique website; truly one of a kind. I tried it and enjoyed answering some of the easy ones; the hard ones got me thinking for hours. Well who doesn’t want to give out the best answer when you know your friends and other people can read it? Some questions are serious; some of them are revealing (**wink**).

I spent approximately 30 minutes thinking of what to answer on some instances and to finish typing my first set, I never opted to skip any question since I know it’s more exciting and challenging. All in all, I enjoyed Formsping and I want to share with you the first 10 Qs I completed.

Go ahead… read to know more about me:

If you could become any fictional character, who would you be?
I think I'll be IRON MAN because he is smart and MAH MAN Tony Sparks is a genius. Although he is Iron man, he's heart is not made of stone.

What's your favorite movie quote?
My fave quote is from the movie “The Family Man” – “Don't screw up the best thing in your life just because you are unsure about who you are...” Classic !!!

If you could wake up as anyone tomorrow, who would it be?
I would like to wake up as President Obama. Why? I would like to know the secrets the US government has been hiding for the past decades; most especially about JFK’s assassination, Area 51, the 9/11 conspiracy, the new WORLD ORDER, and many more. Only the President has access to that. It’ll be an unforgettable experience. That’ll be one hell of a morning to wake up to !

What would your dream job look like?
I would love to work in an International Travel show on T.V. so I can get to places in and out of the country. I also get to meet a lot of people, eat all kinds of delicacies and get to travel around the world. It's gonna be one hell of a ride and it's the dream job to beat !!!

What's the longest you've ever gone without a bath or shower?
It was way back when I was still in Elementary school. I guess it was for a week because I got measles for the first time and my Mom won’t allow me to take a shower. I know its kinda ewwwwiiee but what can I do? Mother knows best. My mom kept me clean and fresh by sponge-bathing me for 6 days. It was really unforgettable since it happened to me for first time and hopefully the last.

Do you believe in fate?
Yes and I also believe where are all connected in some way.

If your house was on fire and you could only grab three things, what would they be?
My Zabreena (although she’s a dog and not a thing, I can’t help it but add her since she is my most prized possession), my laptop and my wallet.

What's your favorite type of flower?
Roses. They symbolize a lot of things in life.

What do you think about formspring.me so far?
Cool and one of a kind !!

Do you believe in life after death?
I don't believe in it. What I do believe is that if we follow God's commandments before we die, He will surely bring us back to life and He'll take us back to paradise with him. :)



Well, that’s about it for now. Sorry for answering seriously on some questions because that’s the way I am. :)

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it. Better try it for yourselves: this website will never stop questioning…

How to Start Your Very Own Blog...

Hmmm... it's been a while since I've visited the very first blog I created. After watching Julie and Julia 2 weeks ago, I began thinking about some of the things that I’ve done in the past that I never got to finish. As far as I can remember, during my childhood I was the person who never sits out on things; I am one person who is determined to constantly finish things I that I started. On the contrary, I’m also the type of person who always has a solid reason why I never got to accomplish something. I mean living with 3 siblings, my parents and some of my relatives while I was a teenager made it difficult to find my own space where I have a quiet time to do such. I tend to always go out and spend time with my friends. Again, that was before, when I was way younger; but now that I’m renting my own apartment – practically a place of my own – I suddenly realized that I was turning away from something I wanted to do my whole life – to share to the world my thoughts on my everyday life. Then again, my work, my love life and my extra curricular activities (wink wink ^_^) always occupy my time; in the past there seemed to be something that is always keeping my attention from all of this. Now, I suddenly thought of it. I realized why prolong the agony of just thinking of starting a blog rather than to start making it a reality. This time around, at 6:44AM - September 23, 2010, I was proud to say that I’m determined to finish the very first post I’m going to put on my blog.

Since I require a little “more” motivation to do this on my rest day since I should be sleeping at this time of the day or doing the laundry or cleaning my house; I thought of googling some helpful tips that might inspire ME to continue with this long time-overdue project. I searched for “how to start my own blog” and I came across a hilarious website that I wanted to share to all of you. By the way, I added my reactions and responses to the some of the steps just to emphasize some points…Thanks to the author! Feel free to laugh your heart out !!

Interested in the blogging scene? Confused how to go about setting up your very own blog? Follow these fifty-one easy steps and you'll be a l33t blogger in no time!

1. Find a free blogging service, such as www.blogger.com – Great! I did choose www.blogger.com

2. Register a catchy yet philosophically deep name for your new blog: "lifesucks"; "All Things Me"; "Lifehacker"; "Playing With Matches"; "The Internet Slacker", "I Stalk David Hasselhoff". – “Thoughts on one’s everyday life” – isn’t that catchy enough?

3. Consider one of the many pre-made website templates offered by the blogging service, or one created by you. - done

4. Turn your nose up in disgust at the thought of using a pre-made template for your blog. – No choice hehehe

5. Spend the next seventeen hours creating a functioning website from scratch. If using Microsoft FrontPageTM, relocate all children and elders to a safe area out of your "profanity zone". – 17 hours? I did it in 4.. hehe

6. Complete your self-made blog template by clicking on the "Publish Website" command in Microsoft FrontPageTM. – need to skip this

7. Watch in shock as the aforementioned seventeen hours of hard work gets permanently deleted off your hard drive by Microsoft FrontPageTM. – not again.. but it happens in real life… think about all the info, movies, mp3s, software, etc. on your HDD… that got corrupted.. ouch!!

8. Swear so loudly all dogs within a five block radius begin running in circles and howling. - LOL

9. Declare "Screw It" and choose from a pre-made template. Always choose one with lots of kittens and flashing animated gifs. – I admit I tried.. I tried searching for animated Yuri templates but I couldn’t find any…darn !

10. Make sure the template is ready for your first blog entry. You can do this by going to your new blog's URL address and seeing if the page loads properly. It will have no posts yet, of course, as you have not actually written your first blog entry. (If you do see a post written by yourself at this specific moment in time, read it! You've traveled back in time to warn yourself about the "Publish Website" command in Microsoft FrontPageTM). – yep yep
11. Click on the "Create Post" selection. The window will reload with a box for you to type text in. -

12. Put fingers to keyboard in preparation to type your first blog entry. - done

13. Realize in horror that you have absolutely no idea what you're going to write about. – hahaha this happened earlier !! boo hoo !!

14. And you've got a whole blog ahead of you. – o_0

15. Stand up and get an alcoholic beverage to calm you. – I never thought of that !! Arrghh !!! Liquor please !!

16. Pace back and forth while racking your brain for a great post. – hmmmm…
17. Cast resentful looks at your computer monitor while drinking the alcoholic beverage. – I’ve done this.. but it’s difficult without the alcohol..

18. Come up with a touching yet funny childhood memory you can write about, like when you and all the other fat kids in the neighborhood used to take down the ice cream man not unlike a pack of lions ravaging a wounded gazelle. – I will.. in my future posts…

19. Or, make your first post about how much you love pets. Remark on the fact that you let your pet pit bull out of the house every night to get some freedom and exercise even though the sirens from the ambulances tearing through your neighborhood constantly interrupt your sleep. – Zabreena would love me to do that… I will write about her on my future posts.

20. Or, make a heartfelt confession about how guilty you feel that you could never be a vegetarian because you salivate every time a nature documentary appears on the television. - Nah uh… I’ll skip this…

21. Sit back down at your computer desk with your great idea. – I am..

22. Complete your first post. – I’m about to… WOOHOO !! Cheer for me hehe

23. Experience a fleeting sense of satisfaction that you now have a blog with an actual entry, even though it details your sexual attraction to Yoda. – Let’s see later…

24. Immediately phone all your friends and family to tell them the URL. Remind your grandmother that 'stiffwoodysdiary' in your blog's address is spelled "all one word". – I prefer to be anonymous… FOR NOW ok?

25. Reload your blog incessantly every two minutes to see if anyone has made a comment. – hahah should I? No one is going to read it anyway…

26. Become enraged when the very first comment made on your very first blog entry is "yuo are teh sUxx0r!" from Anonymous – I’m expecting it actually..

27. Go outdoors to calm down and get some fresh air, since you've spent twenty-two hours now working on your blog. – I will… later….

28. Tell every person you encounter - jogger, police officer, frantic paramedic - your blog's URL. – I will remain anonymous.. for now

29. Head back home when an idea for a blog entry comes to mind, such as the rudeness of paramedics who can't be bothered to talk about your blog because they are busy helping some whiner with pitbull bite wounds on his throat. – haha !

30. When back at your computer, immediately refresh your blog's page to see if any more comments were made while you were gone. – noted !

31. Grip the edge of your computer desk when the second comment reads "I said yuo are teh sUxx0r!" by Anonymous - ????
32. Click on the "make new post" button on your blog. - I will...


33. Realize with horror you've totally forgotten the good writing idea. – will I ever encounter this? LOL
34. Stand up and get another drink. – hmm.. water sounds good…


35. Sit back down at your computer desk. – whew.. this is indeed a long list…

36. Write your second post: how people who make dumb comments on blogs should be strung up by their genitals with barbed wire. – I would if I could.. let wait for the first comment and see what happens.

37. Complete the second post. – hopefully there will be a next one after this…

38. Stand up and get a third drink to calm you down from the blogging experience. – next time.. mark my word.

39. Watch TV while thinking you shouldn't watch so much television since experiencing life would probably make for a blog that's actually interesting to read. By going out more, you'll be able to continue to spread the address of your blog to bemused strangers, too. - I will think about this first...

40. Accept phone call from your grandmother asking you to change 'stiffwoody' in your blog's name to something more polite. - LOL

41. Refuse and hang up phone.

42. On the way back to the television, refresh your blog's page again to see if there are any more comments. – not again…

43. Experience relief when third comment is a non-abusive one. Become incredibly depressed when you discover it is written by a fellow blogger asking if you ever fantasize about wearing lederhosen while flailing midgets with kielbasa sausage, and if you'd like to meet up with him for same.

44. Stand up and get a much larger, stronger drink. – whoa… I like..

45. Consider making your third post. Repeat verbal declaration made in step #9, forget blogging for now, go to bed. – somebody ! get me to bed !! puhleeezzz…

46. Just before you fall asleep, realize with horror you'll need to repeat steps #11 to #45 daily to keep your bragging rights about owning a blog (which, ironically, nobody reads). – yeah right !

47. Slip into an uneasy nightmare about being forced to type the word "sUxx0r" on a flaming keyboard while chained to Jabba the Hutt, who keeps demanding "More! More! Jakatooie Blogga Dooie! More!!!" - LOL

48. Wake up in the morning. Scream. – Can’t do that, Angie and Zab were fast asleep earlier…

49. Read the new comments posted on your blog. Scream again. – scream in silence? Ok!

50. Repeat for the rest of your life. – I certainly hope so.. I hope I can find the time..

51. Welcome To Blogging! – finally…. Thank God! What a list... 

Now that’s a warm welcome. Well… I hope to “repeat this for the rest of my life.”


Let’s do this… >>_<<
