So I sit down last night to watch the Battlestar Gallactica movie "Razor". For those who do not watch Battlestar, you should. Anyway, this is not really about Battlestar at all so if you saw the word "Battlestar" and are tempted to stop reading, one you have no taste and two, you can tune back in because this is really about the funniest commercial I have ever seen. First, I need to give a bit of back story from the show to set up the commercial.
On the show, we find out the Admiral Cain and Gina, both women, are involved. Ooooh, lesbians on TV. It actually wasn't really a big deal. Just a quick kiss and a touch on the arm. That's all us lesbians need to say, "holy crap, they are sleeping together." The funny part was that this kiss and touch on the arm take place as Gina walks into a meeting of all of the ship leaders after 99.9% of the human race has been destroyed. To put the moment in perspective, imagine this scenario. You are the president of an organization and your main headquarters has just been blown up by terrorists and now the survivors are on the run and need a plan to survive. You are meeting with key members of your management team and a woman walks in. You abruptly stop what you are saying, rise from the meeting, plant a firm yes-we're-f**ing-kiss, squeeze her arm, look longingly into her eyes for what seems like two minutes, introduce her, sit back down and go back to the meeting. Hysterical. As Bill Simmons would say, the unintentional comedy factory was a 10. Anwyay back to my favorite commercial of all time.
So we have just found out that the two women have had a relationship, a few other story lines play out and then we cut to commercial. I swear when I saw this I almost peed myself and laughed for a full minute.
Yes, you heard it correctly, "It's been revealed. Helena Cain and Gina Inviere are lovers. Brought to you by Quiznos. Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm... Toasty!"
Hands down the funniest commercial I have ever seen.

Who is Dorothy Snarker you ask? Well she writes her own blog (I've never read it) and she also writes for afterellen.com. FYI, I'm a huge fan of afterellen.com. Awesome site! However, I'm not a big fan of Dorothy Snarker at the moment. Apparently she had some issues with Sarah Michelle Gellar being named 2008 Maxim Woman of the Year and with the photos that were taken (HOT HOT HOT!).Ms. Snarker writes, "Oh, Buffy, Buffy. Maxim? Really? What happened to “Are you ready to be strong?” How can you be strong while clutching your cleavage? That can't be a good fighting stance." followed by, "As much as I think it's every woman's prerogative to use her sexuality however she pleases, ...Sarah in black lacy bra and fingerless gloves does not scream, “Strong! Independent! Woman!” to me. It screams, “Hello! Still here! Remember me?”"
All I can say is WHAT? So showing your sexy side means you degrade yourself? Less Strong? Less Independent? Less Woman? If I'm Sarah right now, I am beyond offended. Hell, I'm not Sarah and I'm offended. I'm curious if Ms. Snarker's reaction would have been different had these photos appeared in The Advocate as opposed to Maxim. Perhaps if she wants to join our other 6 readers, she will post a comment about it.
When I see these photos I think, "Wow, she looks great." Ok, really my reaction was, "Holy crap that's HOT!" Should the strong, independent, feminist side of me hide that reaction because it's Maxim? I don't think so. When I looked at these images, I didn't analyze them for hidden meanings, I didn't make some uninformed judgment about why she did them, and I certainly didn't let them lessen Buffy the character or Sarah the actress or, even more importantly, Sarah the person. They are pictures. Pictures that show a very sexy side of an actress.
Hey everybody, This entry will be brief as the gay life expo in NYC is always a yawner. They need to do something to spice up those expos. The one hilarious thing that happened is I was interviewed by Randy Wicker for the second time. Last year Randy Wicker interviewed me at the gay life expo and he is so awesome. He is almost 70 years old and he is a gay male and an activist of many kinds. He was the first gay male to be featured on television without a mask. Pretty intense. Last year's video of me telling about the DITC clothing line is the 2nd most viewed of Randy's over 100 videos on Youtube. It has over 86,000 views. You can go to Youtube.com and search Niki Cutler or "Sexy Lesbian Dress Secrets" to view the first video, or visit my myspace page at www.myspace.com/dykeinthecity. It is pretty cool. So this year, Randy came back to do a follow-up interview and it is something else. I have to say it was one of the most bazaar interviews I have ever done in my life. We go from fashion to man tits to reproductive cloning, you name it, Randy has something to say about it. Really I think the interview was more about him because he really likes to talk. So anyway, my top model Filfy is in the video, along with NYC Femme Gay Icon/Gogo dancer, Randee Riot. Once the video is edited and placed on Youtube, I will try and figure out how to attach it to a blog. In the meantime, check out the first one to be prepared for the second!
