An actor, writer, yoga instructor, meteorologist and scream queen Tucky Williams is a Renaissance woman with perhaps the most fascinating résuméon the planet. She’s also helping to put her home town Lexington, Ky. on the lesbian map with her original Web series Girl / Girl Scene.
While Girl / Girl Scene’s fifth episode just recently aired, the series has been on the tips of web series-savvy women’s tongues since it premiered in June of 2010. Written, shot and produced with zero budget, Tucky and her cast and crew continue to deliver a thoughtful entertaining 30 to 40 minute episode about queer life in Lexington every few months. Through anticipation and buzz Tucky’s managed to make it a mini event each time a Girl / Girl Scene episode drops.
A trained actor with a background in horror films, who looks equally hot as a super femme or a cute boi, Tucky’s best know to horror fans as the hot zombie slayer Vix in Dead Moon Rising, but she also cut her teeth in front of the camera in the indie feature Shadows Light.
SheWired caught up with the endlessly interesting Tucky to chat about the genesis of and the continued success of Girl / Girl Scene, finding love with her “awesome” girlfriend Laura of Hunter Valentine fame, coming out about having epilepsy and her totally random encounter with a porn star at The Dinah.
Let’s begin with a little bit of background. You are from Kentucky, right? Grew up there, and came out there?
Yeah!
Can you tell me a little bit about that? I there is this perception of Kentucky that it’s ultra conservative in every part – a place that gay people would never want to visit…Can you give me some background on growing up and coming out there?
Lexington, which is the city I live in, is actually a really great place for gay people. I have heard that there are more lesbians per capita than in San Francisco.
Wow. That’s saying something…
We have a gay mayor – he’s out. The only problem, I think, growing up was there weren’t any other gay teenagers I could hang out with. If I could have been born five years later…. When I came out, no body else was coming out. They were gay, but no body else was going to youth groups and stuff, which is what I was doing. There is a gay youth group here, and I would go to that all the time, but hardly any body was there. And now the gay youth group is huge. They have their own prom.
That’s fantastic.
I know, but I am a little jealous because I didn’t get to do all that! [laughs]
