I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders

Would you like an opportunity to hear me be foolish?

Then tune in tonight @10pm to BlogTalk Radio. cabenson and I will be discussing Bad Girls with host allaine77 and co-host fewthistle, who will play Barbara Walters to my Angelina Jolie and ask me questions about what kind of man Brad/CB really is and I will purse my lips and be very mysterious while the camera drifts down to my cleavage.

You want a real blurb and not my nonsense? OK, fine:

Femslash4Fans continues its salute in August to British TV shows with a segment on the hugely successful series "Bad Girls". Set in, of all things, a women's prison, "Bad Girls" ran for eight seasons, but we'll be spending much of our time focusing on the first three. The storyline featuring the lesbian relationship between wrongly convicted cop-killer Nikki and prison warden Helen, which built gradually over Seasons 1-3 until its satisfying conclusion, remains one of the most popular and best-written canon pairings ever seen on television. I'll talk about Nikki/Helen, along with other canon and noncanon pairings from the entire run, with my two guests - creator of the definitive Nikki/Helen Manifesto, Cabenson; and longtime author Theholyinnocent, also known as Xena fanfic writer Vivian Darkbloom. This time joining me as co-host will be "Bad Girls" fan Fewthistle, who previously appeared on F4F as a guest on my "Guiding Light" episode.

I like how I am described as a "longtime author," like I'm Norman Mailer.

Good Guests and Bad Girls, or, How I Learned to Stop Drinking Vodka and Love Lahboob.

And in case you can't tune in tonight, it will be on there FOREVER.

Maybe I will mention your great little Toby Beecher/Nikki Wade ficlet! Still one of my BG faves.

Yes, my awkwardness, trapped in digital amber for all time!

On Nikki! On Helen! On Shell! On Denny! Yeh baby!

Just finished listening to y'all. Smirk. You have such a soft,almost a whisper voice compared to CB's big,brassy swaggering talk. Heee.hee. Must be the before show cocktails...that she had and you didn't. Or maybe you had enough to put you under the table. Oh, the slash we could write!
For the record, you don't look a bit like Normie and you write better too.

Oi, Cajun Bitch! :)

I was drinking wine before and during, so I don't know, maybe I all mellowed out when I drink. I am actually afraid to listen to the damn thing; never liked the way my recorded voice sounds.

Funny, I was just rereading one of your BG fics the other day, the one where Helen thinks Nikki is cheating, shows up at the club, and rips open her shirt during the dancer's audition. I loved that. (Well, imagining H. in a black bra....ah....)

Oh I loved this!!!!!!!
I did have to laugh about the margarine comment (CB I think)... considering America seems to be filled with it! Hey, you guys were so fantastic... I was going to listen to a bit and then do my work, but how could I, I was just hooked! What a friggin' clever bunch of people I know!!!! You all sounded great too!

Thank you, Sandy! I'm glad it entertained you, & that we (read: me!) didn't sound like a bunch of twatting twats (to quote Nikki Wade). I loved all the Brit expressions in the show..."tits up," "are you winding me up?" "minge," etc. (Although I first heard the minge thing on AbFab many years ago.) Language is a wonderful thing; even when we're speaking the same language, there are so many dialects and nuances.
