Katherine Moennig a.k.a. Shane

Why the lesbian obsession? It's like there's some kind of unwritten lesbian law that you must like Shane or Angelina Jolie or both! Not that I dislike any of them but it's highly fascinating when I come across Shane hysteria I guess it comes down to one's opinion.

I'm not obsessed with her. Yeah, she's cute and all that, but she really isn't the type that I like. Sometimes though, I think there's too much hype for her. Still don't understand why my friends like Shane so much....

I think Shane is pretty hot. I like her clothes, her hair and her attitude (especially her voice). I don't like how she would sleep around all the time and stuff like that though. I think she's cool. Like when Papi was all competitive with her, and Shane was just like, eh, whatever.

For the record, I don't care for Angelina Jolie. I don't understand why she's so popular with lesbians.

Ok I adore Angelina jolie.. and if you're not sure why she's popular with lesbians go HERE Wink

As for Shane.. sorry, I realise I'm probably going to get slapped with a cold fish for this.. but I just DO NOT get it at all (shane and Kate). I think she's way too thin, fairly bug eyed and ugly.. she just does nothing for me on any level. The character of Shane lost me when she dumped Carmen.. before that I thought she was this semi cool tortured soul, now I just think she's an ass.

*straps on kevlar*

Ew. Oh dear, ew. Katherine Moennig needs to eat something. Fast!

How can anyone say they don't like Angelina Jolie! I think I have just fainted, excuse me whilst I look for the smelling salts LOL.
She is a goddess! She exudes sex! I love her love her love her.

As for Shane, I don't find her attractive at all. I think she's waaaaay too skinny and sort of sucks with her attitude. I will agree that she was cool when she was facing up against Papi.
Iteki

Jolie used to exude sex, back when she was a nut job. Now she, like Moenning (cute as she is) exudes "I can has cheezburger now plz?".

That vid is too funny tho!

lol that video is funny. I'm glad to see that there's peeps who kinda agree, this is a first for me. Iteki not that I don't like Angelina, I just don't think she's all that Rolling Eyes

I loved Katherine Moennig ever since she was on Young Americans, pretending to be a boy at an all boys school. She totally pulled it off until they revealed that she's actually a girl!
The fact that she can genderfuck with people turns me on. I think it's daring and brave that she took a role totally blew the gender barrier. She makes for a cute boi too!

There was also an episode of Law & Order SVU where she plays an MTF who was unfortunately convicted of a crime she had done out of self-defense. The ending was tragic and her performance was so honest and believable. I was even more impressed by her!

But I do admit that I haven't enjoyed her so much on the L Word... Something gotta be done about that hair.

I think the thing with Shane in the L Word is that it's more of a charisma issue than a looks issue. She is very charismatic and that's what that whole character is about really.

I think that you may be on to something there! I will admit I do like her looks, although I'm not as crazy about her hair in the 4th season...

i totally agree.....i am not obssessed with shane....but i am down with her boi/genderfuck like abilities! so i have not heard of Young Americans....so i am gonna look into that.....sounds like my cup of tea ( hmmm i wish the phrase could be like "sounds like my bottle of beer"....yeah i dunno)

young americans

does anyone know if the young americans was put on DVD?? i can't find it.....but would love to see it.....any suggestions for getting my hands on a copy?
nyankobrulee

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there are plans on releasing it, but there *is* a petition!

I did some digging and found this website that does custom DVD orders (ie probably recorded off TV copies for black market Hong Kong DVDs!). It's only $20, so it might be worth it!

Update: There are episodes on Youtube!
Gadget Girl

Thanks! I also missed out on it, but I recall seeing some of it and totally believing she was a boy..
You gotta love YouTube as well really. How do some people get away with putting that much on there
KJRYANN

hey hey

I also don't understand the massive obsession about Shane. Well, I don't want to offend her admirers and fans - she is nice. But there are other L-word characters, whom I find more interesting and attractive, and I would not be happy if my girlfriend would be looked like Shane.
zeero

i think they're both hot in their own way.

i'd take angelina over shane, personally. but i think you're on to something with the charisma...
isis rising

I find shane attractive but mainly emulate her. also clea duvall

Just one for the Shane fans, any time Matt Corby was on Australian Idol I thought of Shane lol  Laughing

Oooooh, ok that made my eyes water and I giggled! That was cool of Angelina.

Swooon! I mean if she actually ran over to you?

Very Happy
Tambob

I will admit it. I love both of them. But for me it's not about the looks. Well, I do think that they are both drop dead gorgeous in their own ways, but thats not the point.Very Happy

I loooove Shane's eyes and the cool hair from season 1. Wtf happened in season 5??? A fuckin' perm??? Anywho...Shane has this 'too cool for school' attitude, a cheeky grin and is also really sensitive. She looks like a friggin heroine addict she's so thin, but she is so charismatic that physical 'flaws' just don't matter.

And Angie....aaah Angie...I respect that she's not the rebel she used to be. Atleast not infront of the camera. I just have such respect for her and what she stands for. But I think she'll always be a mix of Lisa (girl Interrupted) and Legs (Foxfire) for me.

got another one for ya! What about Pink?? She completes my top 3! She's also a smokin' rebel with a cause. She's my gf's # 1.

I guess I'm totally addicted to a tortured soul with dark hair and a killer smile. My gf is one o' those.Wink Oh my god..we have our 9 year anniversary soon. Geez. Guess I have to get her something. lol Wish Resident Evil was out in time! That's romantic, right??

yeah, but ya gotta admit... most of us would like to be her character.
AquaJen

Alright...

Well Angelina Jolie is pretty hot. [I mean c'mon who doesn't want to be Laura Croft?] It's not even necessarily her hotness or anything, just that that's the type of girl we all secretly want to be.

But the whole Shane thing is a little outta whack. But along the same lines of, wanting to live that life. Seriously, you're telling me that you don't want attractive women chasing after you every minute of the day? Even though the L Word is a very unrealistic show and such, everyone secretly wants to be Shane.
But honestly I just like Shane because of her story-line. In my opinion she's not even attractive, but I like more femme girls I suppose.

Tambob: congrats on the 9 years! my gal and i are coming up on 11.  Cool
Frances

Agree with most comments here. Not a shane fan in terms of her looks but I dig her attitude and damn straight I'd like to hook up with the fine looking ladies she manages ;p
I prefer Alice off the L-word, YUM!

Angelina, oh Angelina. I use to think she was all that, but now with Brad Pritt. Nup, I'm gone, moving right along.........onto Scarlett Johanson perhaps
