My Weekend Crush

This isn’t a crush on any one person, because – truth be told – Elizabeth Taylor was my de facto Weekend Crush this week, and then some. So instead today my affections fall to a happy circumstance. I’m talking about those instances when universes collide at the intersection of Gay and Gayer. What I love in the course of doing what I do – whatever the hell that is – is when I organically tumble on two lesbian worlds colliding. Like when Shay Mitchell tweeted Naya Rivera, and then mentioned she’d like Emily Fields and Santana Lopez to date. God, the visuals in my head. So yesterday, in the course of researching a post on Kate Walsh’s new lesbian role the indie drama “Angels Crest,” I stumbled across a clip of her in the never-heard-of-it indie drama “Inside Out” from 2005. It brought about a whole new set of visuals, but not in my head. The only set-up I will give you is that it’s NSFW. Headphones, people, headphones.

Right, two things. 1) Told you about the headphones. And 2) Is that Emily Fields’ mom?! Yes, ladies and lesbians, that is Kate Walsh and Nia Peeples full-on in flagrante. Holy lesbian universes colliding, Batman. “Private Practice” Dr. Addison Montgomery and “Pretty Little Liars” Mrs. “I’m happy your girlfriend got shipped to Juvie Camp” Fields are going at it. Loudly. Really loudly. So, of course, I sent the link to friends and then the rest of the known universe because something this good must be shared to be appreciated. And then the cosmos sent back this. The only set-up I will give you for this is it’s a drama in three parts.

[Click each to embiggen. All credit goes to my genius friend Heather Hogan.]

Oh, universe. Sometimes I curse you. Sometimes you exasperate me with your cruelty and randomness, misery and loneliness. But other times I lay offerings at your shrine of delightful coincidences and the fact that you can bring the smoking celestial bodies of actresses we love from separate lesbian galaxies together in new and extraordinary ways. Let’s call it the Big LesBang Theory. Happy weekend, all.

  1. When Kate Walsh was on "Grey's Anatomy," I was always waiting for her character and Sandra Oh's character to hook up like their characters did in "Under the Tuscan Sun." I hear rumors that Cristina and Owen are breaking up soon, so I haven't given up hope yet.

  2. Oh, Dear Dorothy. You have made me once again happy for a whole weekend. Thank you for sharing this video, which I somehow missed in my coincidental journey yesterday. Bless you, oh Lesbian YouTube gods. Bless you.

    Wow! Mind blown. So, that the 3rd time Kate Walsh has played gay? There's this, Under the Tuscan Sun and that short film where she played a pepper mill thief. My gaydar says this means something...

    Thanks Dorothy! Happy weekend indeed :)

    There's no way Kate Walsh's actions at the start of the scene would've left her lipstick intact at the end of it. Ahem.

    I've had a ccrush on Kate Walsh for ages and recently I've had a lot of free time so I've been doing a lot of googling o her. I'm going to post some links here, introduced by some random digits which people can make what they want of, as well as what what she's saying at that point in the clip may or may not indicating.
