Our pals Cathy DeBuono and Jill Bennett make this totally awesome web series called “We Have to Stop Now.” It stars, literally all of our favorite people in the world, maybe even you.

Some of the familiar faces you’ll see:
Funniest lesbian on the planet Suzanne Westenhoefer
Television icon Meredith Baxter
Cherry Bomb divas Dalilah Ali Rajah, Gloria Bigelow, Nikki Caster and Tatum DeRoeck

From “Shot at Love with Tila Tequila” Dani Campell
Sweet founder Jen Rainin
Sirius OutQ host Doria Biddle
Comedian Erin Foley
and many more.
It’s a pay-per-view series on the web. It’s the best lesbian sitcom you’ve seen in a long time. Think ever. It’s a great investment in lesbian culture. Oh and you’ll laugh your tooshie off at these ladies. It’s a win-win-win. Check it out at WeHaveToStopNow.tv.
