In the producer’s defense they actually didn’t do anything crazy with us, so I’m OK with it.ĭid you ever have to re-film certain pieces of conversation that they had missed on camera? I think overall each of us actually got off lightly, but everyone needs to understand what you saw was loosely taken from parts of who we can be but it’s not really a direct interpretation of who we are. They’ve got to slate everyone in some storyline. So they just wanted to create some conflict for the storyline. You know, the main example I can think of was when we went to Las Vegas for Magic my producer was like, “Just pretend you missed your flight” and I was like, “Umm, she’s gonna get mad. Were there any circumstances during filming that were manipulated or dictated by producers?įaked for the cameras, hmm. This is just the right thing to do so I kind of pushed Mikey on the idea of doing the show a little further. I’m the one that actually suggested that we do it because, I just was like, you know this would be a really good opportunity to live your life as a model and a voice for people that don’t have one or can’t or aren’t sure of their sexuality… I was just thinking of the people that can’t come out or want to know if there’s other people like them. What was your reaction when Mikey initially told you she wanted to do this show? Were you apprehensive at all about putting your life out there? even the bra strap falling when I was on stage at Fashion Week…like, really Raquel?! That was so funny in the parody… I thought she was just hilarious. I mean, this is why I chose to do the show in the first place… because if you get an opportunity to see what you’re really like or how you’re perceived in life… I’m just someone who’s constantly searching and looking at myself and evaluating my intentions and my options, so being able to see…. Well, you can ask her but I thought it was really funny and you’ve got to laugh at yourself. Did Mikey appreciate the recaps as well or was she offended in some way? I’m really glad that you have such sense of humor about everything.
Great job on the likeness - “I need time for myself to put on my makeup” - that was epic.
The real l word season 1 rose professional#
It’s so true.”Ĭan we talk about how amazing our friend Robin Roemer was playing you? She’s actually a professional photographer and also does our Calendar Girl shoots, but I think she was actually born to play you in that parody video. Loved it.Īre you joking? I cried! It was so funny…Mikey and I were together at the time and I was like, “Oh my god. Oh, always! I used to live for them when we were watching our season air because it was like, if you wanted the underlying real story then you go on Autostraddle and read about it… Oh my god, it just killed me. So, I hear you are a huge fan of Autostraddle… Luckily, Raquel is just as awesome in real life and wanted to chat with Jess about the ins and outs of filming a reality show, Riese’s RLW recaps, Ilene Chaiken, her break-up from Mikey and our very own parody video. She provided some of the most hilarious moments of the ‘groundbreaking’ first season with the epic bra strap proposal at Fashion Week, “I am the original Amy Winehouse,” her observations on lesbian mating habits during Dinah Shore and forcing Mikey to appear as a lovesick puppy, waiting for her bronzed ass to finally show up for. She might not have had a lot of air time during Season One of The Real L Word, but Mikey‘s former fiance Raquel Castaneda certainly made up for it with quality over quantity.
