The Violet Underground: Video Blog #1:1

by Jill Bennett | Article Date: 10/28/2008 12:02 AM

Jill Bennett is back delivering a raw, unexpurgated and damned fun video message introducing her new video blog, The Violet Underground.

While her video blog name is steeped in history, Jill, while unarguably a part of that history, is always unpredictable and of the moment.

Stay tuned for more of Jill, and join her on Thursday when she takes it out of the living room and on to the street... or at least to a “No on Prop. 8” phone bank where she’ll tangle with some undecided Prop. 8 voters.

The possibilites are endless...

Loading Video
But it never loaded. Not working for me right now. Tried 4 different browsers. I've sent staff at shewired.com an email regarding this problem. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. :D.

Got it working
Well kinda. I'm still getting the "Loading player" message. But was able to view the vlog by clicking on the video link in the top navigation bar. http://shewired.com/video.cfm (this opens up a new tab in your browser) On the left click on link "SHEWIRED.COM" a new menu will appear, then, click on Jill's new vlog (Violet Underground) Hope that helps people while shewired works on the other issues :D PS: I wish there was an edit button so I didn't have to make 3 posts in a row :(

The Violet Ab Fab Underground Vlog
Glad Jill’s going to get a chance to say what’s on her mind in this vlog and not have to worry about finishing the L word recap. (Don’t get me wrong, I love those recaps, but I also love when girls go on a rant ... in assorted sunglasses)

squee!
I am so excited about this vlog. Thank you for the introduction to it. I now have the song, "I'm not a fucking drag queen..." in my head. (Better Than Chocolate for those wondering.) 3 times a week, I might get a little spoiled. Shalom.

Interesting intro...wonder why?
TVU is a great outlet for Jill, where she can finally share all of her thoughts and opinions...totally uncensored! It's an awesome concept!

Violet Color
I remember from my history lessons that when The January Uprising (which include former Polish Kingdom, The Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Volhynia) collapsed women wore some violet accessories like ribbons, hats or violet dresses, so they can show other people that their men, brothers, fathers and so died there. It wasn't a lesbian symbol although, some say it might have been(?) too at that time. I have no lesdar unfortunately, but other girls have, and I luckily bump into them from time to time.
