Gimme Sugar is a lesbian reality show that follows five lesbian and bisexual women as they attempt to launch and promote a ladies club night in Los Angeles.[1] Six 30-minute episodes aired in the summer of 2008 on digital cable channel Logo. The show went on to air for a second season in the summer of 2009 with a focus on a Miami and while references to a third season can be found but it never aired.[2] Alongside the series, Logo published 72 bonus clips which covered a variety of lifestyle topics including: fashion, cooking, dancing, and exercise.

One of the show's writers, Michaline Babich, was named one of 10 Amazing Gay Women in Showbiz by the advocacy group POWER UP in 2008.[3] In creating the show, Babich wanted to have a diverse cast although she viewed the show as entertainment and not a groundbreaking exploration of lesbian and gay culture. Babich hoped that through watching the show for entertainment purposes it would allow people to be more accepting of LGBTQ+ individuals.[4]

Cast

  • Charlene Borja, a club promoter
  • Robin Koethcke, a casting associate
  • Bathilda Hsu
  • Davonee Sou
  • Alex Thomopoulos, the only bisexual woman of the five

Publicity

In 2009 Logo launched a small tour wherein the cast visited different clubs in California and Florida in an attempt to promote the second season. These events featured the stars of the show and sneak-peeks of the second season.

Reception

The show currently has an 8.7/10 review score on TV.com[5] and a 6.6/10 review on IMDB.[6] The show was applauded for its featuring of lesbian and bisexual women and was the only show on network television with a cast of gay women after the finale of The L Word.[7]

Bi-phobia Controversy

Throughout the show, the one bisexual character, Alex, is often ridiculed by the other women about being bisexual rather than a lesbian. Michaline Babich, executive producer, commented that Alex was okay with the comments and that Alex, Babich, and other executive producers decided to keep the bi-phobic comments in the show to bring awareness to bisexuality and bisexual discrimination. Babich also commented, "Girls give each other a hard time if they smoke or wear the wrong lipstick. At end of day, it has more to do with being 20 and drunk".[8]
