| Synopsis |
Not only has
lesbian advocate Lee Waldo has pined over Hosanna, the lost love
of her life, for years but Dixie, Lee's heterosexual current roommate,
has started teasing her dates with phony stories of Lee's sexual
escapades to get them worked up. Lee tolerates the tall tales until
she meets Dixie's latest boyfriend: the pond-scum-sucking man who
stole Hosanna from her in the first place. Lee puts on Dixie's fanciful
alter ego in order to put the two-timer in his place and try to
get Hosanna to come back to her.
The Lipstick
Lesbian tackles such complex topics as sexual stereotypes, political
activism and the similar challenges that people face in heterosexual
and same-sex relationships. The action takes place in two planes:
the real world of Lee's life in Los Angeles, and the fantasy world
where Lee acts out the male heterosexual fantasy of the lesbian
lifestyle.
