I’m on my way to my third grocery shlep of the day in my Thanksgiving preparations but I’m pausing at the Larchmont Starbucks to share with you our house’s lesbian video debut. Our brilliant friends Amy Turner and Kathryn Lounsbery have been performing their original show, “That’s What She Said,” for the past year in Los Angeles and San Francisco. (They’ll soon be doing it in Chicago and other cities.) I won’t even try to convey how funny this show is but trust me…you should run to see this if you get the chance. Here’s a recent review from the San Francisco Chronicle.
Amy and Kathryn, with the help of their director Bob Koherr, just finished a music video of one of the songs from the show. It’s called “U-Haul” (as in, “What does a lesbian bring on a second date?”) and it was partly shot on our front porch. Take a look at what went on in our neighborhood, complete with U-Haul truck parked on our lawn and sexy “Fly Girls” gyrating on our front steps. Let’s just say we attracted quite a crowd that day, from mouth-agape passersby to about a dozen Latina middle schoolers from the apartment building across the street who were aping every dance move off camera.
I just blasted the video in the Starbucks and had a crowd of harried last-minute Thanksgiving shoppers riveted to every frame on my computer! Have a look. (Warning: A few scenes are somewhat R-rated!)
Take that, you “Yes on 8” homophobes!
That was great! Thanks for posting it.

How splendidly delightful! What a fun pair they must be. Perhaps they'll bring their show to Dallas...?

Thanks for posting this Danny! You totally brought me out of my post-Thanksgiving funk.

To Gordon:
1) Define "real" music.
2) Take the time to go to their page and hear that there is a wide variety of "real" music.
