I Like Your Boots

L-Word

I came up to Vermont today to help get "the farm" ready for its artist residency season, and this evening, I watched an episode of The L-Word with the organization's director, another straight man.

One character's storyline essentially consisted of her complimenting a love/sex interest's boots, first from afar and finally to her face, when they commenced the macking.

At some point, while watching, it became clear to my that my friend was hearing her say, "I like your boobs." When I corrected him, he was quite insistent, to the tune of rewinding and re-listening.

Boy, we straight men, when it comes to lesbians, well, we just really wanna hear what we wanna hear. And in this case, my friend's lesbian fantasy world was even sillier than the fictional lesbian world we were watching.
