TIBETTE SEASON 1

Bette: You're ovulating.
Tina: I'm ovulating.
Bette: Let's make a baby.

Bette: What an ego bruiser. Three turn-downs in one night.
Tina: Is there something wrong with our pitch?
Shane: It has nothing to do with you guys. You know, it's the... it's the new male.
Dana: What? What do you know about men, I mean, you've never even been with a man.
Shane: Well, the new male is more spiritual than the old male. He seems his sperm as an extension of his inner being, whereas the old male shot into any female without thinking about what would happen. The new male totally cares what becomes of his seed.
Alice: Oh, my god, it's Yoda.

Shane: Yeah. You totally just got laid, didn't you?
Yeah, you see? That gives me hope, because I love knowing that two people who've been together for so long ... can still make each other that happy.

Tina: Yes.I don't know what I was thinking. I... there's no reason on earth that I wouldn't want to make a baby with you using a donor who's black. I — I think — I think I was really —

Bette: Don't think.
Bette: 'Cause I would love to make a baby with you. [kiss] Tonight. [kiss] In our home. [kiss] In our bed. [kiss] Just you and me. [kiss]

Bette: To us.To our future.
Tina: To Marcus Allenwood's unbelievably high sperm count.

Bette: We honor you.
Tina: We honor you.
Tina: All 75 million of you.

Bette: I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you.

Alice: An intervention is about helping people you love... change destructive patterns of behavior. [...]
Dana: Okay. Um. Guys. We've seen this happen with other couples that we've known. Janet and Sue, for instance, Claudia and Tammy, oh god, especially Mimi and Ivy. Wow.Um. It would kill us, you guys, if you wound up like Mimi and Ivy.
Okay. And we wouldn't be your friends if we just stood back and... let ya... get so... so ...
Tina: What!?
Shane: Boring.
Alice: Boring.
Dana: Boring, guys.

Bette: Aw, Tina.Oh. It'll take time, but we'll get through it. Allright? We'll get through it. C'mon.

Tina: I know. I saw it.
Bette: I'm sorry.
Bette: I love you...
Tina: FUCK YOU!

Ya'll know that I love OurChart...well, I participate in one particular post in which we do different TiBette activities each week to try to keep from going through withdrawl. This week's activity has been to write love letters, from either Tina or Bette's point of view, to the other. You're supposed to pick the person that you most identify with (i.e., if you identify with Bette, you write a letter from her to Tina and vice versa). I figured I'd share mine with everyone...

My Dearest Bette,

There are times when I have so much to say to you that I have to write this letter before some of it escapes my mouth at the wrong moment. I don’t even know if I will give this letter to you, but I have to write it all the same.

For so long I have been filled with anger and pain, all caused by you. I know you don’t want to hear about any of it, but it’s true. I get angry when I think of what we had, what we could still have, if only…but then it hurts to think beyond that, to remember when I lost you, when you were no longer mine. I wanted to just hold you against me and force you back into me, back into my life, back into my heart, back into my soul. A part of me died when I realized that you had given yourself to someone else. You might say that it was only sex, that you loved me, but don’t you see that you gave something that didn’t belong to you?

I know that in some part of your mind you’re keeping score and you’d bring up Henry. I don’t blame you. I know I hurt you. I was searching for something simple, something easy, something sure. And Henry was all those things when you were not. It was never an issue of love, it was an issue of the solid knowledge of a sure thing. And I was afraid. Afraid that I’d let you back into my heart and you’d hurt me again. I acted selfishly and I’m so sorry that I hurt you.

In the past two years I feel that my emotions of run the gauntlet of emotions. The birth of our baby was the highlight of it all and every time I hold her I feel that I’m holding a piece of you in my arms. She’s so beautiful and I imagine she looks like you did when you were a baby. There is such innocence and trust in her eyes when she looks at me that I want to cry. I wonder when you lost that look. I think about how you must have been as a child and I have this strange desire to hold you in my arms and protect you. Sometimes I look at you and see your pain and your loss of innocence and I just want to protect you from the world. I know you like to pretend that you don’t hurt, that nothing can touch you, but I know differently. Oh Bette, I know how deeply you really feel and I know how easily pain touches you. Yes, I know.

I’ve tried to put you behind me, Bette. I’ve tried to move on with my life, to put you from my heart and my mind. But I’ve realized that I cannot. Simple as that. I love you and I want a life with you and nothing can change that. I realize now that you’re devoted to creating a relationship with Jodi, and I don’t want to interfere with that. But I have to tell you what’s in my heart, Bette. I just cannot hold it in any longer.

When I look at you I can feel your heart beating. I know, that sounds insane, right? But it’s true. You know why? Because your heart is my heart. And I know when you look at me you feel the same tug inside you. I can see it in your eyes, especially when you think that no one is looking. I’m looking, Bette, I’m always looking for you. And there are times when I simply see your beauty and I want to cry. I want to run my hands over your face, drinking in the sweet, simply beauty that is you and only you. I want to bury my face in your hair and just breathe in your scent.
When I’m not around you I feel lost and when I see you, I feel instantly found. Until I remember that you’re not mine anymore, and then I feel lost again. I want you to be mine again. I want the life back that we destroyed. Yes, we. We both contributed to the destruction of our relationship and no amount of “what ifs” can change that. I want another chance to begin again. I don’t know if we can do it, but I know that love is extremely powerful and I want the chance to prove just how much our love can accomplish.

I want to fall asleep to you every night, with our daughter in the other room, and I want to wake up with you every morning. I want to be in a room with you, my eyes finding yours and I want to see your face light up like it used to. I want to see that fire in your eyes again, Bette, when you look at me. I want to make plans for the future with you and I want to grow old with you. Beyond that, I don’t know what life will bring us, but I want to face it together with you. I’m tired of simply existing, I want to feel alive again and I know that I will only feel that with you.

As I said, I don’t even know if I will give you this letter. But if you find yourself reading it, Bette, know that I love you with all that I was, all that I am, and all that I will ever be.

Love Always,

Tina

Laurel's Birthday

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 16:33:48 GMT

I mentioned here before that there are groups that are putting together gifts for both Laurel and Jennifer (seperate groups, each doing their own thing). Part of the gift for Laurel is giving donations (of any amount is welcome, nothing too small!) to Laurel's charity (Dr's Without Borders) at www.laurelhollomanonline.com. The other part of the gift is creating a fan blog for her full of nice things! :D So, here's the link to that blog if you'd like to participate http://laurelsbirthday.wordpress.com/

Don't know if any of you saw the announcement on laurelhollomanonline.com, but the reason Laurel's been outta sight lately is because she and her husband have adopted a baby! Check it out on laurelhollomanonline.com

DELICIOUS!

as requested

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 16:06:46 GMT

The requested scene that takes place after the man they invited home for his sperm leaves in Season 1 Episode 1...the first TiBette sex scene...it's definitely on my top 5 ! LMAO

favorite TiBette Sex Scenes

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:44:35 GMT

We've been having a discussion on OurChart about what our favorite TiBette sex scenes are...here was my answer...

I don’t think my choice will be NEARLY as controversial as my last choices! LMAO. But, that remains to be seen, I suppose! This was a great question and a bit difficult because, while they haven’t had as many sex scenes as say, SHANE, the T/B sex scenes are almost always GOOD. Well, for me anyway!

My favorite Tina and Bette sex scene is the one from second season where Tina’s enormously pregnant. Yup, that’s my favorite!

I loved how Bette was really hesitant and unsure of herself at the beginning and how Tina guided her. I also thought it was amazing of Laurel to open herself up so brilliantly during such a private time. My admiration for her grew enormously after this episode. Not many actresses would do something like this. Of course, it helped that she was just gorgeous while pregnant!

Not only was this scene beautiful and sensual, but it was one of the hottest sex scenes of TLW. I think that second to this scene would definitely be the elevator scene, but this one still rocks my socks today! Just beautiful!

awwwww♥

totally stolen from OurChart! lol

this is an ARTICLE posted by KARENMOR on Laurel´s forum

What is it about that TiBette chemistry?

Lord knows TiBette fans can go on about how hot Jennifer Beals and Laurel Holloman are together. Especially in those worn out love scenes of old -- because, come on, how many times has everybody hit the rewind button to catch every whisper and every nuance of those steamy exchanges? And how long has it been since these two got it on? Guess you have to go all the way back to season two and the post-ultrasound "brief encounter'' involving a very pregnant Laurel.

Wait. Has it really been that long? Maybe I'm wrong. It's all a blur. But what I do remember about that particular love scene is that Tina was cheating on Helena to have that "OMFG'' moment with her ex. Hmm. Guess TiBette's not beyond that sort of thing, which bodes well (if you're not all Judgey McNun about it) for possible (Jodi-who?) action this season.

Anyway, so many people compare the Tina and Bette thing to the Ross and Rachel thing. But, hello? Ross and Rachel were cute and all. But they had as much fire as -- well, whatever, Friends was not on cable. It was all very chaste and junior high.

But plenty of couples tangle on The L Word and none brings the emotion or the heat that Bette and Tina do together. What's up with that chemistry?

"I don't know how we have it, or why we have it. I just know we have it," Laurel Holloman told me in an interview a few weeks ago. "We're very different in a lot of ways. Maybe that has something to do with it. As actresses, we want the same results. We love and care about our characters. Maybe our differences makes the chemistry crackle. And our desire to find the core truth of these characters also helps.''

So is it easier, or harder, to create that crackle now that the actresses have gotten to know each other better over five seasons?

"When we shot that love scene in the first season, after we brought home that guy, I had known her for maybe a week," Laurel said. "And the chemistry was there then. I think you have more chemistry when you don't hang out with someone so much. I stay kind of private. I think some mystery creates tension. Obviously, we are great friends, but we give each other a lot of space, too.''

So, are they too buddy-buddy now to put enough heat in future sex scenes, should, you know, there happen to be any?

"It's fun now. We giggle. We do a lot of 'Can you put your hand here?' You know, where the skin is different after having a baby," Laurel says. "But I don't think we have lost the tension. We know the characters. And that chemistry is just there. It's undefinable. In my career, I have done a few sex scenes. And sometimes it's just there. Sometimes it's just not. It's an undefined visceral connection between two people. Bette and Tina just have it. I think Shane and Carmen also had it.''

So far, which has been the toughest love scene for Laurel?

"The one in the finale of the first season,'' she said. "Where I discovered she had cheated. Physically it was very difficicult. And it's very difficult to take yourself there emotionally. You know, it's a painful place to revisit, where you have been deeply hurt and betrayed. You have to go back to your 20s when you have been betrayed and done the betraying, and all that dysfunctional stuff you do when you're young.''

just sharing :D

honorary lesbian

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 16:29:50 GMT

Okay, here's another Jennifer thing (Laurel has gone into hidding for now!). This is an article about her being in Philly this week. She says that she feels she is a honorary lesbian, which just cracked me up! Yeah, we claim her! LMAO...MOST definitely!

JB at V to the 10th

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 01:28:13 GMT

This is PRICELESS! I was hoping that someone had recorded Jennifer's performance at V to the 10th and THEY DID! Here's the first one to pop on on YouTube....it is SO funny!

too beautiful not to share...

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 00:04:23 GMT

I completely stole this from ourchart.....

Tipper63 from televisionwithoutpity.com posted this about V to the 10th:

I had the good fortune to be in the Red Tent on Friday. It was small. Only about 40 people could actually get in and we had to sign up early. Something happened there that was beautiful. It was charged with emotion and so special to have witnessed. I felt a little like a voyeur but am thankful to have gotten the opportunity to been a part of a very personal and moving story that was told by one of the women. She was the last story of the day. It was called The Power of Art.

This woman was older and began by talking about having been out for about 40 years. She joked that she had probably been out longer that most of the people in the tent had been alive. Then she got serious. She had this rich, low, sultry voice. It was almost seductive. She was easy to listen to. From the beginning, she captivated the entire room as she began her story. She was so articulate and eloquent about having lost her partner several years ago and had been alone for along time. She never realized just how alone until Katrina. She spoke of the horrible conditions at the shelter she had worked, the devastation of her town and how when she had finally returned to her home that was damaged she really realized just how alone she was. She wondered if the people would come back. If they didn't, would she have a job, was there even a government. I remember trying to grasp how she must have felt at that moment in time. Finding oneself that alone is almost inconceivable.

As she spoke I couldn't help but watch Jennifer's reaction to this story. At first Jennifer was smiling. As the women began to speak, shortly into the story, Jennifer's eyes filled with tears.

As the woman continued the story, she talked about sitting alone in her home contemplating all that she has experienced. Her phone rings. The woman was surprised and joked that South Central Bell was really on the ball getting the lines fixed. On the other end of the phone was not a friend or family, it was a stranger. This stranger had called to see if the woman was alive and to thank her for a piece of sculpture. It was the first contact this woman had from someone out side of the devastation and it was a STRANGER!

The woman went on to explain that this phone call interrupted this bleak and horrific time in her life. In the weeks and months after the storm when the woman would get depressed or angry she would remember this phone call from this stranger and it somehow helped her through all she had to deal with.

It was so emotional so personal. She never had been able to really thank the stranger. After all, they weren't friends. She didn't know the stranger. They eventually met but the woman could never find the words or the moment to tell the stranger thank you. She wondered how could she ever thank someone who maybe saved her sanity and maybe saved her life.

At that moment I though how important a little thing like a phone call could come to mean to someone. How it can touch a life in ways that are unimaginable. After all it was just a phone call.
About half way through his story Jennifer was completely over come with emotion. She put her face into her hands and began to cry, sob. Her entire body shook. The display of such raw emotion was almost overwhelming. Jennifer was the only one in the room crying. Every one else was speechless and totally caught up in the moment.

When the woman finished her story, Jennifer took the microphone and tried to speak. She was still crying and then everyone was stunned. We sat in silence. She thanked the woman for not “outing her” and told the room, she was THE STRANGER on the other end of that phone call. Jennifer continued with the story of how she was the first call to get thorough. How they spoke for about 40 or 45 minutes. How she had received this piece of sculpture from this truly gifted artist but had never wrote her a thank you. She felt guilty for not taking the time to thank this woman. By the time Katrina had ravaged the Gulf South, she was pregnant and in bed watching storm coverage and saw Slidell. She remembered that was where this artist lived. Jennifer, while tears were streaming down her face, her voice cracking as she was so overcome with emotion, said, “ I had never thanked that woman and now I didn't even know if she was alive. I had to do something. I had to call. She answered”. It was obvious Jennifer had never fully understood what this phone call came to mean to that woman until that moment.

Everyone in the room could feel the connection Jennifer had with this woman. It was so deep and so meaningful for both of them. So truly special. By allowing us to hear that story, we all got to be a part of that story. I felt blessed when I left The Red Tent on Friday April 11, 2008. I will never forget that experience and I thank Jennifer and the woman from Slidell for sharing such a special and very personal story. Such a deep and private part of their personal lives. In a larger since it made be understand how we really are all somehow connected.

BTW. I saw Jennifer really close up. She is NOT pregnant!
