Pre-Pre-L: Girls in Tight Dresses

Oh, kittens, kittens. Sometimes the heavens open up and drop manna into your lap. And by manna, I mean the girls of “The L Word” in those proverbial tight dresses. While no one is dragging with mustaches just yet, give Max time. The character and group promo pictures for the sixth and final season are in and they're, well, they're kind of crazy. As in crazy hot. But, um, is it just me or do they all kind of look like models for a new TLW cut-out paper doll collection? Granted, I'm not grumbling. Pictures of beautiful women? Yes, Mama Chaiken, may I have another?

[Click any and all to enlarge and don't forget the link love.]

Jennifer BealsBette in a hot dress and a pair of Louboutins? Hold on. I've got something I've got to do...with my hands...for a minute. Though, hey, where is her other arm? Is Tina behind her?

Laurel HollomanTina, while your mini is just long enough so I can't quite see London or France, I can see your tattoo. Does Bette know?

Leisha HaileyNobody move, Alice has been attacked by a 1980s prom dress. Don't frighten the bubble skirt or it'll pull a pair of jelly sandals or a can of Aqua Net from its depth and hurl it at your head.

Kate MoennigOh, thank God, Shane is looking very Shane today again.
That whole dress thing was weirding me out.

Pam GrierAll we are saying, is give Kit some lines. “Baby girl!” doesn't count.

Rachel ShelleyStealing money, going to jail, fleeing from jail, returning from fleeing and buying a lesbian nightclub agrees with you, Helena.
So does fringe.

Rose RollinsDear Tasha. Back that thing up. Love, lesbians everywhere.

Still not everyone got the new paper-doll treatment. (Serious, it's custom-made for naughty Photoshopping.) Poor Max, Phyllis and Jodi had their Season 4 promos recycled and Photoshopped to fit the shoot's black is the new black color scheme. I've put them all together, for the sake of expediency and to prove my Photoshopping point. Though, since no one necessarily wants to see this particular threesome, I've left the naughty bit out.

Mama Chaiken did make sure to include a promo shot of herself – in a tank top no less. Sometimes Ilene makes this shit too easy.

Now, before you throw your dog-eared copies of “Lez Girls” at my head, no – there was no promo of Mia Kirshner yet. This is either a simple oversight or a ridiculously unsubtle bit of foreshadowing. But, given the final group shot has both a sunset in the distance and a pool in the foreground, I'm going to assume that “subtle” is not part of the marketing department's vocabulary.

So, ladies, please enjoy. I'm anxiously awaiting your naughty Photoshop creations. Don't let me down, internets.

No no no, Shane in a dress, that's just WRONG.
And 80's-Leisha isn't too flattering either. Thank whoever for the last group shot, even if it's not-so-subtle..
Photoshop is ON.

Ilene Chaiken. My my my.
That woman is just so fucking full of herself. It's sickening.

JB & LuH look smashing.

Thanks Miss Snarker! As always.

Rachel Shelley.... how many years are left till January??? ahhh...

Sarah said...

Isn't Alice wearing Jenny's dress from season five?

Elena said...

wow, the photoshop guys have been at it again. And is it my impression but did I catch a few semi-smirks here and there in the first pic?

mmmmm Rose....

I'm not so worried about the dress on Kate M. I am more disturbed that she is somehow wider than everyone else? What did they photo shop every one down and stretch her out? This girls legs are as thin as Kits arm in person.

Why do they deform women so much? I love your paper doll cut out line.

That IC includes herself is such a crack-up. I guess she views herself as a lesbian icon. What other behind the scenes person includes themselves in the promo?

After this final season, IC will fade faster than Sarah Palin at a press conference.

CR Thompson said...

Good lord, Tina. You're HOT!

Rachel Shelly's backside, as always, is magnificent.

Miss Snarker, your commentary was priceless. Thank you!

Tina: you're too hot. Damn. Tasha and Bette look delicious, too.

Ilene: you and your ego crack my shit up.

Landlady of Fat said...

I have to say, I sure am enjoying all the "Tina you are hot" comments today.

Laurel Holloman - One HOT Mama!!! To quote Dorothy, "I've got something to do ... with my hands ... for a minute." Holy hell!

Anonymous said...

Ha ha ha, no solo shot of Mia. Instead we get one of Chaiken. Oh well....

Laurel looks fabulously gorgeous. Lucky Bette!

Leisha looks like she borrowed Jenny's helicopter dress in S5.

Ms. Snarker, bits like this are why I LOVE you, and why yours is the single best blog I have ever read. You ROCK!

Abso-freaking-lutely HILARIOUS!!!

Norma Desmond said...

Sometimes I really wish they'd make an at least vague attempt at subtlety... I'd almost like them to stick around another season just to see what classic movie they'd rip off next.

I'm not one to whine, but Chaiken? For real? Girl, come on!!? She doesn't hold a match to Beals. Or her one arm.

I'm so moved by these photos though, that I've written a haiku to Tina and Tasha (does that make me super gay or what?)

Tina:
she is such a snooze
if by snooze you mean "hot damn"
laurel makes me swoon


Tasha:
soldiers rule my school
i want to touch the hiney
sorry but its true

I agree with Speedy12: Ilene Chaiken did bring us The L Word in the first place, so why is everyone always putting her down?

And as for her photo: could it be that IC has a great sense of humour? Which surprisingly many here seem to lack.

I'm sure IC knew exactly what kind of reaction she would be getting.

Oh, why Alexandra Hedison is not on these beautiful pics?...

Cerise said...

Why no Mia??? Why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clara said...

LOL. Shane in a dress looks so wrong. However, they look wonderful. Whats up with IC?!? haha

Microkritter said...

From the looks of the promo pic with the sunset I would say that Jenny gets kicked in the water by Bette. It's a theory in progress.

Lori B said...

Thanks so much...Gosh, Kate looks so beautiful. Mama Mia, where is Mia? Thanks girl.

Only eyes for Laurel Holloman...though there's no Alexandra Hedison

(what was that movie where her hand gazed her own leg, then to smell its scent, put it to nose of woman sitting by her?)
