I know, I know. “Stop doing all of this ridiculous gushing about Otalia and write us some fucking fan fiction, you lazy bitch!”
Now people, that is just not polite. Keep yelling inside my head like that and I’ll never get anything accomplished!
Anyhoo, if you are still on the fence with Otalia, i.e. weighing the merits of watching two hot chics in love against the public disgrace of admitting you are addicted to a soap opera, it’s time you really think about hopping down from that railing. The Otalia side is lush and overrun with poppies, which is basically, you know, opium, which probably explains why so many of us become deliriously happy after only thirty seconds of Otalia exposure.
If you haven’t watched the past week, be warned. There is a wee small spoiler approaching.
The closing Otalia scene on Friday featured the hottest non-kiss on television since the end of Women’s Murder Club‘s “Blind Dates and Bleeding Hearts” when Cindy was being inducted and I thought she and Lindsay were going to simultaneously leap toward each other, meet in the middle and fall onto the table in a messy pile of sexual energy. (Claire would knowingly shake her head and find the manager with her eye, shrugging for silent forgiveness. Jill would dip a fry.) They had the same sort of thing going on at the end of “To Drag and To Hold” when it seemed like Lindsay’s eyeballs had accidentally fallen into a pile of super glue and gotten stuck to Cindy’s face. I was really anticipating the leap and table make-out more in “Bleeding Hearts” though. Anyway, Otalia’s non-kiss on Friday… fantastically ripe with sexual tension. I give it a rating of ‘Highly Scrumptious’.
In other news, I recently did a post on Otaliagasm that I would love for you all to read if you have some time and a pile of Prozac on hand. It’s not short and it’s not particularly light… or so I’ve been told. But I am proud of it. It is Otalia-themed , but it’s not Otalia-specific. So, if you’ve got an extra minute or ten, check it out -

That was very cool, well-argued, and (as always) well-written

I will admit, I skipped around a bit. I think by the end I read the whole thing.
Good piece, LaShea. I think this is the most insightful thing I’ve read from you. I appreciate that you are good for education as well as entertainment.

I can be insightful from time to time. Just don’t get used to it.
Thanks peeps.

I don’t watch that show but that was a really engaging, true and well written (as usual) piece!
