I love Tila Tequila and in many ways I consider her my spiritual daughter. She is a beautiful Asian American woman with a head for business and a bod for sin. She rules and she’s got tattoos!! Oh and she is bisexual!! She’s great and I think her show “A Shot at Love” is groundbreaking and fabulously entertaining. I always find that I am rooting way more for Tila to get with the girls than the guys. It seems like a girl would be a better match for her, because the boys on the show are either too needy/clingy or too macho. They always seem to cast macho dudes who enjoy fighting because the season isn’t complete unless at least one contestant has to go to the hospital.
My favorite is tough girl Lisa, who gets in lots of fights with Tila, but then they totally make up right away and it is very sexy. Totally old school butch/femme style. I’m a bit behind on my episodes so I need to catch up this week on what is going on. Hoping Lisa is still in the running! I should have just asked Tila myself. I saw her at the Bravo A-list Awards on Wednesday looking hot and sitting in the front row right by all the Project Runway alumni. We didn’t really talk or anything – I just told her that I was a fan and she was really sweet. She seems very sweet on the show, because she tends to get very emotional and attached to everyone pretty quickly.
Sometimes people complain and say that the show is all fixed fake and that Tila isn’t really queer and it’s all bullshit, but I don’t believe them. I think it is real, and even if it isn’t – who fucking cares? We have a major hit TV dating show that revolves around a queer star. The real identity of the players or the legitimacy of the game isn’t important to me. What is important is that people like Tila, which means people like me, are no longer invisible. We are here, we are queer, and everyone is getting used to it.
