The Lesbian Dating Game

Posted Jun 26th 2007 11:07AM by TMZ Staff

A new reality dating show featuring a group of singles vying to win the heart of a Maxim model certainly isn't groundbreaking. But if said Maxim model is a fresh-out-of-the-closet lesbian, then you've got something!
Venus Envy
On the new show "Venus Envy," a group of single women will compete to land a gorgeous gal who prefers other gorgeous gals. The casting site for the show boasts, "For the first time ever, a major cable network is applying the lipstick, revving the Harley, busting out the wife-beater and turning dating inside out." The only stereotypes missing there are references to Rosie O'Donnell, Indigo Girls and Birkenstocks.

The online questionnaire asks things like, "Are you out?" and "Have you ever been arrested or been served a restraining order?" It's a good guess that respective "no" and "yes" answers would make for better TV.

The website says the show will be on "a major cable network," but so far, no network TMZ has spoken to will admit it's theirs! Stay tuned ... we just don't know where!

8. I've never seen a lesbian reality show before. I mean, does this mean that Lesbians are the new gay guys?

9. Oh, by the way. Canadians, no one cares about your stupid chain store. I can't begin to understand why you would think that has anything to do with a television show name. I'm sure there's a dry cleaner somewhere in denmark with the same name as your dog... better change your dog's name.

10. Well-
Coming from an out lesbian, if you think this is using and exploiting womenI think you are sadly mistaken. These women known exactly what they're getting themselves into. Plus, she's a Maxium model. Women aren't defenseless or stupid...far fom it!

11. Hey you the stupid beast with two tongues, we know Americans treat Canadians with contemps. But just think: We were smart enough not to get involved in Iraq. Jealour of our freedom, maybe ?

14. So as the lifestyle continues to be promoted to each new younger generation, the lifestyle expands and becomes accepted, just as the gay community hoped for when they took a page right out of the tobbaco industries play book.

15. This should be interesting~~ I just hope they do not play into the stereotypes and make it set up. I am all for lipstick lesbians and other fems, but I do not want to see a bunch of women set up to get it on just for the enjoyment of male viewers.
