Álainn or Appallin’: Glenn Close
Alainn or Appalling: Lady Gaga
Right now, in the face of gay suicides and hateful media coverage, it is wonderful to see a music icon carry the gay flag with such aplomb. Lady Gaga’s advocacy of our community is genuine and very welcome indeed.
Álainn or Appallin’: Archie Panjabi
If you have ever seen an episode of The Good Wife, there is very little that needs to be said to convince you that Álainn is indeed the response. For those of you undecided, check her out. We’re sold!
Alainn or Appalling: Anna Silk
Let us know what you think of the star of Showcase’s hit supernatural show, Lost Girl. Does Anna rock your world? Lost Girl Season 2 is currently airing in Canada and I for one have been counting the days
Álainn or Appallin’: Ellen Page
Best known for her roles in Juno and Inception, Ellen Page is an actor in the truest sense of the word. Not content with signing on for romcoms and blockbusters, Page has flexed her acting muscles alongside the very best. So what do you make of her alainn or appalling?
Alainn or Appalling: Angie Harmon
Currently setting lesbian hearts a flutter and other reactions to various other body parts, Miss Harmon is Jane Rizzoli, a boston cop in TNT’s Rizzoli and Isles. See HAL’s take on the preview.She has it bad for this TV show.
Alainn or Appalling: Anna Paquin
Anna Paquin rose to fame as a child actress in the acclaimed film The Piano for which she won the Academy Award for Actress in a Supporting Role. She didn’t slink into child actor oblivion however, and went on to star in films much as Almost Famous and the X-Men Series. Most recently she is [...]
Alainn or Appalling: Beyonce
Beyonce seems to be the woman who has it all. She’s talented, stunning, has a happy marriage, a stable career and just keeps on climbing the ladder of life. But she’s so much more than a ‘tick the boxes of life’ kind of woman.
Álainn or Appallin’: Mná na hÉireann in uniform
We have heard your views on women in uniform – resoundingly in favour, quelle surprise!
Alainn or Appalling: Santana Lopez
For those of you who haven’t heard, Glee has a lesbian. And not just any lesbian, it’s our very own Queen Bitch Santana Lopez. Now, some of you might not have been following the episodes as religiously as myself, so you may have seen snippets here and there of hints that Santana likes the ladies, [...]
Alainn or Appalling: Neve Campbell
She’s currently gracing our screens at the moment being chased yet again by Ghostface in Scream 4. I can understand his fascination
for the lovely Miss Campbell, I mean those half closed eyes, the hair, the sighs.
Álainn or Appallin’: Charlene McKenna
Charlene McKenna and her fellow cast members from the show, made the following excellent video for BeLonG To in support of this year’s Stand Up! LGBT Awareness Week. And isn’t she fabulous?
Álainn or Appallin’: Amber Heard
GLAAD’s 25th anniversary event was a wonderful occasion for many reasons, one of which was that American actress Amber Heard came out. This was a young up and coming actress stating her sexuality just as she was climbing the chain in Hollywood, it was a brave and inspirational move. Heard is a Texan who left [...]
Álainn or Appallin’: Calzona
Over the last year or so I have blogged on a number of occasions about lesbian/bi visibility on TV. One of the couples flying the flag out there is on Grey’s Anatomy, Dr Callie Torres and Dr Arizona Robbins, better known as Calzona. Callie has been in the show since season 2 and is brilliantly [...]
Alainn or Appalling: Kylie Minogue
They say good things come in small packages and if anyone embodies that philosophy it has to be Kylie. Born in Oz in 1968 Kylie was a child actor who came to worldwide fame in the soap Neighbours (every needs good ones) playing Charlene Robinson, a garage mechanic.
Alainn or Appalling: Jean Byrne
What’s going on with the weather? Snow, then some rain, then some snow, then frost, then rain, temperatures go down, then up, then down… Better turn on the telly to see what Met Eireann have to say about this climate conundrum! But wait, who is this style icon, this vision in leather/silver lame/strange furry ensemble?! It’s Jean Byrne, meteorologist and style icon!
Alainn or Appalling: Natalie Portman
Fair Natalie, you have come a long way since Leon. I always feel a bit old seeing child actresses grow up right before your eyes and then do a double take when
you hear they are not 12 any more.
