What's it about

The Real L Word is brought to us from our gay loving Showtime network, by Golden Globe winner Ilene Chaiken (who brought us The L Word) who is now bringing us a documentary series about the real lives of lesbians. ( I'm sorry this last line ~via the site~ only makes me think of porn. Like we have secret dirty things we do and want you to watch. I suppose this is the hook to get straight audiences in on it and I'm sure it will work. Then again, I live in a gay bubble. I forget the rest of the world really has little clue. It just may be a spectacle for them. Go Showtime for potentially busting their vanilla bubbles! Now I see why you didn't cast everyday Americans.)

THE REAL L WORD: Los Angeles will follow a group of real-life, high-profile, left coast lesbians as they go about their daily lives, at work and play. The producing team plans to show viewers that the cast can be every bit as glamorous, fashionable, fabulous and even as cutthroat as their celebrated-but-fictional counterparts.
