The anti L Word

Jac has to work all week, all weekend, all the time. I just drink all day, for the most part. So she gave me an assignment. She told me to come up with a cast of characters for an anti-L Word tv show.

Karen, a 28 year old security guard, overweight, addicted to fast food, trying to quit smoking. Was once enrolled in junior college but got arrested on false charges of identify theft (actually she was just stealing money from relatives).

Caren, a 29 year old yoga instructor and graduate student. She will discover that she is not a lesbian, just like she was not a hare krishna 5 years ago.

Karine, a 28 year old school teacher in Nassau County. She comes into New York City every Friday and Saturday night and, starting at 7 PM, gets far too drunk. She has one night stands fairly often, usually followed by dull, uncomfortable second dates.

Corrina, a 29 year old first-year attorney in a large law firm. Combative and over-confident, she is often approached by men. She has a wide circle of catty friends and is usually seen in a large group of lesbians, competing.

That takes care of the butch, the pretty flake, the mullet, and the predator. Add a cast of impressionable NYU students and the drama practically writes itself.
