Hello

[bigboobedcanuck]

This week’s blog post is a follow-up to the controversy over same-sex romances being excluded from an RWA-sanctioned contest.

And now, a poll.

Poll

ETA: Awww, Matt Bomer finally came out. Yay!

I was confused at first, thinking, "Isn't Matt Bomer already out?" and then I read the little story. Aha! I'm very happy for him :)

Also, I didn't do the poll because I don't watch Revenge. I have too many shows already!

[bigboobedcanuck]

Yeah, it wasn't really a secret, but this makes it official. :)

I hear you about too many shows! Heh.

I'm enjoying the hell out of Revenge. It's a bit over the top, but just ridic fun. I marathonned it last week, and it's just great fun. Between it and OUAT, I'm revelling in having not one but TWO series to watch with fab female Hero/Villian combos.

Emily is HARDCORE. Seriously. Also, Victoria is stunning and gorgeous and similarly HARDCORE. It's nice to have a woman over 40 portrayed as such on telly.

I already love Emily from the Everwood days, so I definitely should give it a try. I do enjoy OTT soaps with hardcore women. :D

[shipperx]

It's definitely OTT soap... and I mean that in the most fun possible way.

Good for him.

Don't watch revenge. But will start if I hear it is good

[bigboobedcanuck]

Well, so far my poll is indicating that Revenge is awesome, so worth checking out.

I don't love Revenge but it's pretty good. Try it. You might like it.

[bigboobedcanuck]

I will. Thanks!

I know your taste pretty well, and I think you'll LOVE Revenge. It's super addictive! The storylines are smartly written, the characters are compelling, and it's got that guilty-pleasure-crack value. Also, Kyle Valenti! <3 Although Nolan is my favorite.

[bigboobedcanuck]

Oh right, Kyle! I forgot about that. Okay, will give it a whirl. I'm sure I'll love it. :D

Well, with Bomer, there was still this weird thing where he definitely wasn't mentioning Simon's name. Did you see when he was on the Today Show last year co-hosted the last hour with Hoda whatshername? And she was all, I just found out during the commercial break that you have kids! And he said yes, and hi to them (which was the first time he publically talked about them, IIRC), and they talked about how much work it is, and there was this weird elephant in the room because they didn't reference a wife or partner at all. If I'd been watching it and didn't know anything, I would have been wondering who the kids' mother was and why she didn't rate a mention at all.

I think it's been a progression, and now that he's saying Simon's name publically it's the last step. I totally hear what you're saying, and agree it was not a *secret*, but he was still a bit "in" before, IMO.

I'm sure I'll love it. :D

You will. It's crazy soapy, but unlike Ringer, I enjoy the improbability. And Madeline Stowe is one of my most hated actresses-yet I enjoy her on this.

REVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENGE!

Try to catch up on Revenge super quickly--the big reveal of the season is tomorrow, and you don't want to get spoiled!
