I'm a girl that likes girls. I, like many other lesbians/bi-sexual females, get excited when we get to see girly action. Not the "girly action" that lets homophobic guys tolerate two girls together. I'm talking about girls and them having crushes on other girl friends, having girlfriends, relationships, flirting, kissing, holding hands, being in love, etc. The film and television industry has come a long way! To see these actions on the big screen, films, TV shows, and talk shows is very exciting. Over the past decade, there has been more LGBT characters in movies and on TV. I want to thank the glee staff/writers/producers/directors/actors for representing!

Super HOT cover of David Bowie's FASHION! Glee covered it to promote FNO (Fashion Night Out). It premiered a couple of weeks ago. Last night was the big night. The majority of events were in New York but L.A. had some too. Not a big fashion person so I don't really know much on the subject. Yesterday and today, that's what is trending: #FNO.
Heard about all the events/parties and seen photos...I wish I was in NY this week.
Glee took over Santa Monica High School, again (1st screening), on 8/15/2011.
I didn't know what to expect, since this was the first annual sing along. When we arrived to the school, they gave us a program, popcorn & water. It wasn't as crowded as I expected. We got some seats and waited to sing some songs.
There were several GLEEKS there to introduce the songs.
Kevin McHale, Harry Shum Jr., Ashley Fink, & Dante Di Loreto.
Kristin Chenoweth
Mike O'Malley, Chris Colfer, Kristin Chenoweth, & Dot Marie Jones
After the songs were done, Kristin Dos Santos came out on stage and did a Q&A with Dante Di Loreto, Dot-Marie Jones, JANE LYNCH, Chris Colfer, Robert Ulrich (Casting Director), and Mike O'Malley.
Congratulations on the many Emmy Nominations GLEE!
I knew that gleek filmed a couple of times at the Eagle Rock Plaza, so when I heard a rumor that they were filming there this week, I had to go and take a look. I drove out there with two friends, Liz & Rich, and when we got there, I saw the sign - WMHS (William McKinley High School). Bingo! We parked and went inside.
We get to the area and people were hanging around watching a crowd dance. I saw 2 takes of that and then they took a break.
I asked a crew member how long they were going to film and he said all day. They were breaking for lunch. We hung around for a bit and the crew was very nice. The glee cast was also nice, too bad I couldn't say the same for their security. Luckily my friend was able to score a photo with Mark and Cory. After she was all shaky and nervous that she made me nervous.
After the lunch break, we still hung around at the mall for 7 more hours. Why wouldn't we? GLEE is our favorite show and it's not everyday we get to see it getting filmed. All the gleeks were at the mall filming except Amber Riley (per twitter - she has been sick) and Dianna Agron (unknown). SPOILER ALERT: Kurt, Rachel & Puck were at the mall, top of the stairs - unknown dialogue, when Puck runs down the escalator and goes to this jukebox/radio and hits play. Barbra Streisand by Duck Sauce filled the air and everybody started dancing, flash mob-esque. Kurt & Rachel head down the escalator with other dancers and join the mob. Everybody is dancing and the other gleeks surprise Rachel by being part of the flash mob.
Ok, so I'm totally going to have "Barbra Streisand" stuck in my head for forever.
It was a flash mob. People all around had their cameras & phones out and I assumed we were able to take pictures. Unfortunately, security went around saying no photography was allowed. Oh well, at least I got these few shots. I had made presents (necklaces) for the cast and I've had them since last year's paleyfest but it's so difficult to meet them because the fans have gleek-mania. Last year I gave Lea & Ryan theirs at The Egyptian Theatre, Jane's at outfest, Matthew's at this paleyfest, and only succeeded on giving Chris & Mark's theirs at the mall. I need to learn how to be more aggressive.

Ryan Murphy was also joined by Creators/Producers Brad Falchuck, Ian Brennan and Dante Di Loreto. Darren Criss (Blaine) also joined the cast for the panel.
Prior to the panel, they screened the 16th episode, Original Song, of the 2nd season. I was really hoping they would've showed something I haven't seen but I enjoyed re-watching the episode, especially with a crowd full of gleeks.
The discussion was fun. The whole panel was nice. They discussed the original songs, the upcoming tour, the glee reality show, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ashley Fink, Santana being a lesbian, filming the rest of the season, possibly having Blaine change schools to McKinley in the 3rd season, a Fleetwood Mac RUMOURS episode, and more spoilers.
This event was a little over a week ago, so sorry for lagging on posting about it. I was searching for reviews of the glee panel and I found this real cool website called GLEEhab. Am I lame for not finding it sooner? Possibly :) but I found it and they combined several sources into one post; pictures & videos too. So please direct yourself there for more information on this event.
As soon as the panel ended, everybody rushed the stage for autographs! Luckily, my niece and I got a good spot to get autographs. I was disappointed that several of the gleeks hurried off the stage, including Cory Monteith, but who am I to judge? Maybe they had things to attend to.
I am forever grateful to the gleeks that stayed after to sign autographs for fans. I know it could be overwhelming with all the fans. What I want to know is why does their publicist stand behind them and try to get them to leave?
I also wanted to give mad props to Matthew Morrison for staying til the very end and making sure that he signed everything. Super nice & sweet!

Friday, 5/21/2010 in Hollywood, CAgLee Live @ Gibson AmphitheatreThe BEST concert I've ever been to!I had a single ticket in the orchestra, awesome seat actually, but I let my niece sit there and sat in the 2nd to last row of the balcony. Wow, I guess I'm kinda a cool aunt. I took some videos but I made them private because YOUTUBE was flagging recordings of the glee concert due to copyrights. ? I wonder if they're going to release a live DVD in the future...

"I'm gonna live and live now, Get what I want--I know how,One roll for the whole shebang,One throw, that bell will go clang,Eye on the target--and wham--One shot, one gun shot, and bam!"
I can't hardly wait until the 13th of APRIL! Glee continues! I was fortunate to have been able to see a sneak peek of the "Hello" episode at the PaleyFest.
It held me over for a while but then it just made me more anxious. Here are a couple of clips, for the continued season, to feed off of for now:
