Bericht von d. Schiff von eine Frau, die dabei war ( ist leider auf englisch ), aber sehr gut und witzig:

Teil 1

What a week, Women of Olivia gone wild!, these girls were partying till the wee hours of the morning and then we had to be off the ship by 10:00 am.


I haven't check Jacky's updates but I was next to her one morning on the internet cafe as she was typing away feverishly!!

It was such a hectic week and let me tell you the L word lady's work very hard and very long hours for their money. 16- 17 hour days maybe more because it can take up to 2 hrs to shoot 1 single, 1 min scene. I'm exhausted and I was only an extra.

I agree with Jacky that Erin and the rest of the cast Leisha, Kate, Jenny are tiny little things. Erin - I would say is about 5'3'-5'4'' and the tiniest little waist, she's so adorable and friendly as can be!! And let me tell ya that smile is more radiant in person.

Oh!!, By the way High, You have no idea how close I was to getting the niice jeans for you, Soo close, closer than you and I ever could imagine. And it was by accident right place @the right time, I'll explain further tomorrow.

Hate to go but I just got home and jumped right onto the computer and my luggage is strewned all over the place, I'm so exhausted I feel I haven't slept all week every morning there was an extras meeting ! This is tiring work, How the hell do they do it for 6 months straight. Well got to get some rest. I have plenty to fill you girls in on. I have pics too but I should have refrained from using the flash!!

If Erin reads this, nevermind J As captain James Peter Dunford Of The Veendam would say ”A good Captain always goes down with the ship!”


Here’s a special little bedtime story for High. So me and my comerade Deborah were strolling the ship lost again as usual but we found a group of the film crew so Deb being in the film industry as well{prop master/set dresser} for NY. has to stop and speak with everyone of them when all the sudden I turn around and lo and behold a sight not like any other - it was a rack full of all the wardrobe worn by the cast !!!Score!!!, the first section was Alice, then Dana, and there was The Niice jeans right in front of my eyes !! in very reachable distance so Deb turns around just then and says Don't you even think about touching anything.. who me J she goes back Yacking and I'm just looking then What do you think I did?



I touched them they were some kind of designer jeans and they were the ones she wore during the question & answer scene by the pool and the same ones she wore at The Crows nest Halloween party where she was Dancing right in front of me 2 steps away. Thats another story, but let me tell ya she's an excellent dancer she's got those Latin dance moves down pat! Then there was the captains uniform with the captains hat wrapped in a bag hanging from the same hanger as the Jacket and the really Niice black pants Then I got caught! Oh well it was fun while it lasted. Then there was Mia's clothes Shanes Carmens etc on the Rack.


But High I could have quickly Grabbed the Niice jeans tore ass up the stairs and ran into any moving elevator and hid in one of the cleaning supply rooms till the coast was clear, but then poor Erin wouldn't have had any jeans to wear!! J I just couldn't do it to her! Sorry HIGH you must understand.LOL !!!

/HI all, So Day 1 Never been on a plane before, never been on a cruise before, but going for it all, just to experience what it's like to be an extra on the L Word, and to meet Erin, Leisha, Kate, and Mia , and lets not forget Mia's Momma(Momma Mia). I thought that was really cute that she brought her mom, I mean I really wanted to go with my mom, Anyway, We land in Tampa from JFK airport, the plane ride was a blast I loved it and I loved being able to get a Sky Vodka & cranberry @ 8:00 am, afterall I'm officially on vacation/Holiday, so who gives a..... We get to the port @ 9:00am. We have to wait till 1:30 to board the ship. We meet lots of Lsbn. fans outside waiting people from S.Carolina were particularly funny, Canadians, calfornia, everyone was there and sadly enough not everyone on the cruise was there for The L Word. I think Olivia worked out a deal with Showtime to pack this Ship, What a grande Idea!

No star spotting, but, they held an extras meeting for the speaking parts. The way they picked you was BullSh*t{ It had nothing to do with the actors or anyone else to fall in that category, But the girl called b'days. and I think it was related to you're questionare you had to fill out with the release form, they ask you you're eye color, haircolor, weight. height, D.O.B. it was already calculated what type would get the speaking part, whenever she called B'day it would be 10 days before and after that date and who comes closest but they kept calling the same summer months over and over and then I said what about Jan/feb. the winter months and she said if your giving me your B'day I'll avoid calling it .so after wastin an hour and a half I got the F out of there! the rest of the night was spent Dining & wining, and exploring the boat!


Day2: Extras meeting ,they’re calling out the first 5 names and I'm one of them. They're shooting the Shawn Colvin concert the earlier show! I'm In!


The best part is yet to come because they need extras for the scene by the Lido pool Deck Beware spoilers are a coming! It's the questions & answers Scene I know some of you heard about it, but they set up a table with 4 or 5 chairs and microphones in front I'm definitely imagining Dana in this sort of scenario and I'm right about the scene. It's about Dana and the sex therapist Pheobe Sparkle. Dana and Miss Sparkle seem to have some sort of a connection! Maybe it's, French, just speculating. It took like 2 or more hours to shoot the scene. There was a part where an extra with a speakin part ask Miss Fairbanks will you marry me and the place went wild,clapping and whistlin all that good vibe was goin around and it happened everytime they shot that dialogue over, Everyone loves Alice & Dana as a couple, that’s for sure.



I was in the Background by tha pool the camera was pointing towards Dana and a woman to her left I'm the little peek hole Between them in the background with a fishnet coverup and curly hair and sunglasses,leaning on the raft by the pool.


They finish filming, and I catch Erin as she get up from the table and I know the timing is right so I walk over to her get in her face and tell in a true N.Y. accent "you are a terrific actress and she beams this smile at me and replies thanks so ,much then giggles like Dana would if someone complimented her I stroke her arm and said you're SOoo cute{ I wanted to say F'n cute}, but refrained. thats when I realized what a warm,beautiful down to mother earth person she really is.those Eyes and that smile in person is so much more in person. Sigh....

Sorry most important! In the question and answer scene as part of the audience were, Alice,Jenny and,Shane,Thats when Jenny asks Ms sparkle something about a threesome.
Oh, I just watched The Kiss for the first time since the cruise happened, Seeing it now after the cruise their relationship takes on a different effect because they were on the cruise as an established couple already, it was episode 10+ (3 more to go.)

They really are pretty close off the set, it's obvious they're like best friends
and the chemistry is right there so everything works perfectly.
