Girltrash: All Night Long (2014), is a lesbian interest film, (IMDb 6.4) set in LA and concerns two lesbian musicians and longtime friends: Daisy and Tyler whose rock group is competing in a band slam contest.
In this romcom / musical comedy romp the principal couple in the group go from virtual strangers to lovers in one epic night. A series of mishaps over the course of the evening impedes the protagonists progress and forces them to enlist the help of others to reach the venue on time. Along the way their efforts are hampered by a golf-club-wielding ex-con Monique with a score to settle.
Daisy and Tyler encounter the first obstacle early on when Tyler's car breaks down and they have to ask Daisy's younger sister Colby to lend them her car. In exchange for driving them to the concert, Colby, who is just about to graduate from college and gain her freedom, demands that they help her hook up with her girl crush Misty at the Truck Stop Lounge.
Favorite Girltrash Movie Quote
Daisy: It's one thing if I'm gay 'cause I'm like a bad seed but you... oh my god you're like the good egg.
Colby: Well, being the good egg is boring.
Daisy: Well, I'm sorry. That's who you are.
Colby: Well now, I'm a good gay egg. Okay?
Tyler: Yeah, come on let her be a gay egg.
Colby: Thank you.
Believing that Colby is not really gay but just copying her, Daisy is reluctant to help and instead professes that Misty, an aspiring actress and object of Colby's affection, is out of Colby's league. She tells Tyler that Colby is way too inexperienced to be of interest to Misty and that unless she has "an angle" her sister is likely to get her heart broken. Tyler, who is renowned for her girl conquests agrees to help Colby by inviting Misty and her bisexual friend Sid along but on the strict understanding with Daisy that she is not allowed to seduce Colby.
Tyler Suggests Some Girl Nailing Strategies to Colby
Unbeknownst to Colby, Misty has been crushing on Tyler for some time however Tyler who is mostly interested in weed, playing her guitar and getting laid with a different girl each night does not actually remember meeting Misty before.
Meanwhile Daisy has her own problems when she runs into her ex-girlfriend Xan and her new girlfriend Kelly, also a musician who is set to play in the band slam. Daisy tries to get some closure beyond the tweet that let her know the relationship was over, by demanding that Xan speak with her about their break up. Xan gives her the brush off and when Daisy persists she ends up in a fight with loud-mouth Kelly.
Just as things look like they couldn't get any worse Monique a small time thug recently released from prison impounds the car and the band's gear in exchange for an unpaid debt. Tyler then takes matters into her own hands and takes off in Kelly's car.
Sid, Misty and Colby are dumbfounded on hearing Monique's Demands
The answer to their problems seems to be at hand when the group discovers a stash of illegal drugs in Kelly's car. To convert them into cash they turn up at Colby's sorority sisters night ready to party.
Misty and Colby have a heart-to-heart but Colby's hopes get deflated when she sees Misty making a play for Tyler shortly after. Colby convinces Tyler to have fake sex with her in order to make her seem more worldly and therefore more attractive to Misty. However, the plan backfires when Daisy discovers Tyler in bed with Colby and debars her from the band and her life.
Misty seeing her big chance makes a move on Tyler but Tyler knocks her back. Luckily Colby is at the ready to provide a shoulder to cry on. Misty soon realizes she really is into Colby after all and is perhaps the only genuine person she has met in LA.
Let's Start Over Colby and Misty
Monique gate crashes the party but the campus police turn up and take Monique into custody. Daisy and Colby's Mom couldn't be more disinterested and drops them off at the car. The group then make their way to the venue without further hiccup.
At the band slam Kelly's performance shines despite her less than winning personality but Daisy sings her heart out backed by Alotta Lame to take first prize. Just at the crucial moment golf club wielding Monique turns up to claim the prize and Daisy and Tyler hand the winner's cheque over to her.
Alls well that ends well in this movie as Daisy and Tyler renew their friendship and are on a high from their win. Colby and Misty make out backstage and go all the way. Afterwards Misty wishes Colby "a Happy Graduation" and we are pretty sure that "the dream girl" has been got" as Colby wished for near the beginning of the movie.

Zara and Eve are two LGBTQ characters from the lesbian interest storyline from Season 1 of the Australian romantic comedy / dramedy TV series It's a Date, (IMDb 7.4) that first aired in 2013. In an episode entitled Do Opposites Attract? Zara and Eve meet on a blind date and discover very quickly that they are poles apart in terms of their values and beliefs and therefore struggle to find common ground.
The happy-go-lucky Zara (Kate Ritchie) is the perfect foil for the more serious, politically minded and intense Eve (Nadine Garner). Both actresses give compelling performances in their respective roles. You can't but cheer them on to sort it out when you see that they are just not getting each other.
Eve: "I hope you don't mind me ordering but one of us had to make a decision."
There are plenty of funny moments when confusion and miscommunication abound for this couple. Right off the bat Zara introduces herself as Zara like the Spanish chain store only to receive a blank stare from Eve because she has never heard of it. Only a few minutes later Zara believing Eve is a barrister asks if she has been in court that day only to find that Eve is in fact a barista.
When the subject of ex-girlfriends comes up Zara makes light of dying of boredom in Hobart while Eve is trying to tell her about one of scariest moments of her life when her ex almost died because of a peanut allergy.
Barrister or Barista Confusion
Then there is the subject of out or not out. As an out and proud lesbian herself Eve is surprised to learn that Zara is not out to her family and challenges her about living a lie. Zara counters with I'm out to the people I want to be out to.
"You're Not Out" Nadine Garner as Eve challenges Zara
The blind date appears to be well and truly unravelling when Zara and Eve disagree on the subject of marriage. Eve is pro gay marriage and is happy about the move around the world towards greater inclusivity and equality. Zara, on the other hand, has never had a relationship longer than one month and points out that 50 percent of marriages in Australia end in divorce. Zara states that she can't see "what all the fuss is about" when it comes to marriage and that marriage is not on her radar. Don't miss the Gwen Stefani reference who designed the #loveislove LGBT merchandising about that time.
At this point each of our characters thinks they have the other pegged. Eve has a crack at Zara about consumerism while Zara counters with the statement "you're a parody" and goes on to identify the 5 speed bicycle, food co-op and no TV set as stereotypical.
Just as each are ready to kill their matchmaker for setting them up in the first place the scales tip. Eve reveals that she would like to be a contestant on The Voice, a singing competition but does not have the confidence to go through with it. Next thing they are in the "girls dunnies"and Eve is singing her heart out to sterling rendition of Burn For You.
Eve kisses Zara in the bathroom of It's a Date (2013)
Like all good stories the characters are changed by the encounter they have had with each other. Zara has moved to a greater comfort level around telling her family about being gay while Eve has grown the confidence to sing in public. While the couple don't have the traditional happy ending that romcoms deliver both walk away from the experience with mutual respect and empathy. And the acknowledgment that each of them is great in her own special way.
Zara: "You surprised me." Eve: "I surprised me too."
As with all good stories our characters must develop and change because of their experiences and that is the case here where by the end we see Zara makes a shift toward greater in comfort level herself about the issue.
Zara: "You're great." Eve: "You're great too."
The Zara and Eve story is funny, quirky and moving all at the same time. All Zara and Eve scenes are available to watch in one video on the Lesbians Watch YouTube channel
