Seeking Simone

Ask Audrey Ep 9 - TWFan52, California

In this episode, Audrey addresses a question that may seem...familiar. To certain lesbians. Who like a certain show. We won't tell you which show, but we WILL say that the show creator's name rhymes with "Boss Bhedon".

Audrey will be back every OTHER Friday to answer your lesbian dating dilemmas. Stay tuned!

We will be celebrating your holiday by watching Buffy Season 4, Episode 8 - you know, the one where they have Thanksgiving. I can't find a video clip - I know, right? WTF? - but these IMDB quotes from the episode really take a girl back. Good times.

Simone Interviewed by Crazed Buffy Fan on Univers-L

As you may recall, last week French website Univers-L published an interview with Seeking Simone creators Rose and Renée. (scroll down for the English version)

But the gals at Univers-L ALSO had a very special correspondent - BuffyFan3927 - interview Simone herself! What followed...well, you'll have to read the interview in English or in French to find out.

Here's a snippet, to whet your appetite:

Are you aware that a weird photo of you having an eargasm circulating on the web??? It’s a pretty intimate thing, how do you deal with that? (any sex tape available soon? Want to do like the famous other chicks of LA?) (By the way, do you think you could sign me that photo? Just for me!! Pleaaaaaase!!!)

SIMONE :  I actually appreciate the opportunity to talk about that photo…I was young, obviously…well, younger, it was last year…and that photo is just one of many I took for an ad campaign for Q-Tips. Of course, the ads never ran because the photographer did not actually have a contract with Q-Tips – he actually conned several young women into posing with Q-Tips and then sold the photos to a fetish website. I was not paid for that job. I switched agents shortly after that incident – and that’s how I ended up getting on CSIS:ForensicSWAT! So in a way, I have that Q-Tip snapping perv to thank for my big break.

Head over Univers-L to check out the interview in English and in French. And thanks to the hilarious Magali and Gaëlle of Univers-L for hooking Simone up with her biggest fan!! Her biggest, creepiest fan.

Univers-L Interviews Seeking Simone in English et en Français! Plus, New French Subtitles!!

A few weeks ago, we got a very curious note in our contact form. And by "curious", we mean "very disturbing". Upon closer inspection, however, it turned out to be the most hilarious interview request EVER. Here is what it said:

Hi Simone I'm buffyfan3927,

I've seen your profile on the dating online website and I couldn’t believe it when I saw it !!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMFG loooooooooool, I thought "WTF, am I dreaming ???". So happy, because I'm a huge fan of your show, I think it's great, really great !!!!! Every week I watch it and I think "OMG, That Woman is my soul mate I need to know her" and there you are !!!. Now a few words about me :  I'm a pretty funny person, I love to read deep books such as Willow & Tara fanfictions, and  I live on a little flat with my lovely cat Buffy, and my birds Willow and Tara.

I would be so happy if you accept a date with me. Will you ?? Say yes ! Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase !! I'm pretty sure we would make a wonderful couple and I've already the names of our four children : Bette, Tina, Jenny and Shane !!

Just before we called the cops, we read the second half of the note, which was from the very funny and fabulous women of French lesbian website Univers-L, requesting an interview for their site. With an intro like that, HOW COULD WE SAY NO?

Magali and Gaëlle sent over the questions and we answered. And then they translated and posted! Check out the Univers-L interview in English and French for a little Seeking Simone history, a little web series philosophy and a lot about why we love Buffy.

But that's not all! The lovely ladies of Univers-L not only translated our interview into French, but they also created French subtitles for the first two episodes of Seeking Simone! For those of you who wanted to know how to shop for organic beets and complain about emotional crabs in French - YOU'RE WELCOME.

Stay tuned - the crazy girls at Univers-L have one more VERY SPECIAL interview to share and we'll post about that next week. VERY SPECIAL.

Merci beaucoup to Magali, Gaëlle, Lindsay and Virginie and all of the Univers-L team for the fantastic interview and the wonderful subtitles!! Vous êtes merveilleux!!!
