sapphics

It’s been only three since the summer season typified by that fang-banger with the banging body Sookie Stackhouse and the True Blood crew bid au revoir for another long nine months between seasons but it already feels like the third season ended ages ago. And while True Blood, the small screen brainchild of the wildly creative and openly gay Alan Ball, is loaded with LGBT political allegory and steamy homoerotic encounters, there have been a few memorable Sapphic trysts over the show’s run.

If you like your Sapphic viewing with a French Revolution bent--and I’m not talking about the upcoming big screen version of Les Mis—then you’ll want to check out the steamy trailer for Farewell my Queen starring Diane Kruger (Troy, Inglourious Basterds) and Léa Seydoux (Midnight in Paris, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol) about Marie Antoinette and one of her female readers during the final days of the revolution. Now this is how you make reading fun!
