Girl on Girl

Hmmm. 2010. Oprah crying on Baba Walters and denying she's a lesbian (really? not her cuppa?); 'The Kids are All Right,' with Annette and Julianne; Sandra Bullock planting one on Meryl at the Academy Awards; Miley Cyrus for her raunchy(she says it was simulated), uh-huh, whatever with a female dancer in Britain; Aubrey Plaza onstage at the MTV awards saying she wanted to 'do' Megan Fox repeatedly...and Salon inking up the 10 steamiest Lesbian movie scenes. WTF is going on? America bored? Can't get enough?

If we indeed, are all watching out there...here's a short list of uh, my favorites that might make you squirm in your seat...or as a teenie heart throb once said in a Rolling Stone interview, 'real high school soakers.'

1. 'Portrait of a Marriage.' 1992. Who knew Masterpiece Theater and the Brits had it in them to
bring Vita Sackville-West's love for Violet Keppel/Trefusis to the screen in a no holds barred presentation. This is terrific drama and Vita had many girl dalliances, among them Virgina Woolf, but Violet was the love of her life, and Vita and Violet could never get enough. But trouble and bad times surfaced as Vita repeatedly strayed. Conveniently, Harold Nicolson, Vita's husband, liked boys. What a couple! Who needs beards?

2. 'Gia.' 2004. Angelina and Elizabeth Mitchell. Sizzle. Gia Carangi was a Philly girl who was stone cold gorgeous. She set the NY modeling world on fire in the mid 70's and early 80's and loved women. Gia, larger than life, and running on fumes became addicted to heroin. On the cover of Vogue and other magazines around the world, she died at 26, one of the first women to succumb to aids. Jolie won the Golden Globe for her portrayal.

3. 'Bound.' 1996. Gina Gershon and Jen Tilley. Gershon's Corky and Tilley's Violet are edgy, and smart; hot together they put the capitol C back into camp and butch/femme sex where it belonged. Gina Gershon peaked like a gyser in Bound. And Jen Tilley never met a card table she didn't like; she is currently an avid poker player in LA. The Wachowski bros who wrote and directed went on to make The Matrix.

4. 'The Runaways'. 2010. Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning burn up the celluloid not only with their fooling around but with all the 'shit' that surrounded the rocking. It's the 1970's. Uppers. Downers. White lines on table tops. Joan Larkin becomes Joan Jett and Cherie Curie, a Valley girl, becomes the front for the Jett band, the Runaways. In the end, the chickens come home to roost, but what a ride for an all girl under-age jail bait band that crested like a tsunami on their smashing Japan tour.

5. 'The Girl Who Played with Fire.' 2010. Noomi Rapace and Yasmine Garbi get it on after a tease in the 'Dragon' installment. Surprisingly, Rapace said that the Swedes reacted negatively to the girl on girl scene. Uh, this, from the country that gave us the great enigmatic, provocative Garbo.
