Watching The L Word, we stumbled across something many people spend their lives trying to find: The Fountain of Youth. And we discovered an intriguing phenomenon: the older the actresses on the show get, the hotter they become. Not only does The L Word make the ladies look younger, it literally resuscitates the dead careers of former "It Girls," turning them into "L Word Ladies," taking years off their lives, and giving them new leases (or contracts) on life. It must be something in the water at The Planet (which is kind of like 90210's The Peach Pit but for lesbians). And speaking of The Planet, owner Kit is our Long Lastingly- Luscious L Word Lady of the Week.
As foxy today as she was as Foxy Brown, Pam Grier is Kit Porter, the struggling alcoholic, bi-curious, cool club-owning, drink-throwing “F_ _ _ _ you, mutha _ _ _ _ _”-screaming, emotional, singer, who belts ‘em out and knocks em dead with her soulful voice and banging curves. This shapely “fox” is such a hot commodity, she has to fight ‘em ( straight men, lesbians, and trans) off with a… drink. Kit was robbed at gun point a few weeks ago, but you don't want to mess with her now that she's taking self defense classes (so robbers, if you're reading this, back off.) And I pity the next fool who messes with Kit, like Dawn, who owns another club and has infested The Planet with rats. By messing with the Sheba, Baby, Dawn is risking not only her SheBar, but her life. Because in addition to taking self defense classes, the former pistol whipper is going back to her foxy, wily roots, and thinking about buying a gun. But don't listen to me. Let's go to the video tape. If Kit can do this with a beverage, I don't want to know what she can do with a real weapon. (Make sure you watch the first two minutes, or you'll be sorry.) Check in next week for our next LWLW (L Word Lady of the Week.)
