The Cast:
Barbie: The Queen of the Den. Barbie is
the charming, petite, lipstick in nature, and totally NOT
into tofu. She is truly a brunette version of Malibu Barbie.
Perhaps I should have called her Midge.
Skipper: Barbie’s life partner. Skipper makes up what
Barbie lacks in blonde. She is a true friend, dizzy but sincere
to the core. During her stint as a marine overseas, she lost
a leg in combat, but nothing can stop her from going on. And
on, and on, and… Ken and Barbie learned early that you
must never let Skipper skip her daily dose of Prozac! You’ll
find her name changes multiple times during the course of
the sagas. Sometimes I call her “Hoppy”, other
times “Spanky”. It just depends on the theme at
the time, and the dosage of Prozac!
Godzilla: Truly the most hideous of lesbians. She is all
that you fear in a lesbian: flannel, testosterone, and bad
breath all rolled into one. She does not shave her legs or
her armpits. She dwells in the basement below the house. As
it should be.
Ken: The character that I would portray, should the movie
version of this little saga ever be released. Handsome, witty,
and seriously addicted to a perfectly chilled vodka-tonic.
Ken is the “upstairs boarder”, in the room next-door
to Skipper and Barbie. Unfortunately, the walls were all too
thin. Eventually Ken breaks away from the confines of Casa
Lesbo, and explores his newfound independence in the Casa
Lesbo spin-off, “All About Ken”.
Little Abdul: Little Abdul came into Casa Lesbo unexpectedly
one day. He had been dropped off at a local refugee camp.
A little lost student desperately in need of a home. How could
the girls say no? It was all so pre 9/11, and we were much
more trusting back then. I can hear Barbra Streisand singing
“The Way We Were” as I reflect back upon those
happier times…
Let the stories begin…
