I can't believe it's been nearly 2 yrs since we unveiled this at the framer. I waited for 5 more months to get the frame I chose because it was back-ordered. It felt like a very long time until it was home. ❤️

Today was the day! The reveal of "Illusive Thoughts"!!! It was even more beautiful in person. With having never been to one of your exhibits , this was the next best thing. Even the staff was in awe. Deep Dive can't come fast enough!

Look at you raising the roof off that trailer and getting your groove on with the team.🎶 You're a hoot! This show would never be the same without you breathing life into Tina Kennard. Thank you for juggling so much to make it happen.

Who else is hoping
@jenniferbeals
will put together another photo book? Perhaps say… a wedding one? Pictures on set of the wedding that have never been seen? 📸
#ThankYouJenniferAndLaurel
Imagine this…The L Word returns (not as GenQ), opens w/Bette and Tina reminiscing about their Wedding (Proposal episode and Wedding) and then we get to see ALL the footage that
@Leisha_Hailey
and
@katemoennig
did. They were SUPER as Director’s.
#RebootTheOriginalLWord
@Showtime
I have many mixed feelings about ep
#2
. I loved many parts, but it felt so rushed, and like Tibette fans were thrown a bone. Here ya go, they’re endgame, now be happy. I’m thrilled they’re back, don’t misunderstand, I just would have liked more substance with their dialogue—
This piece I collected from FIABCN 2023, caught my eye immediately. I loved the colors, depth, and brush strokes. “Liminal Space” which is often related to a place of transition. The title is perfect. I always go with museum glass to reduce glare and its IV protection.
#FIABCN
I am ready to see the original L Word return. It’s obvious by the ratings that GenQ did not hit the mark. A new show and showrunner is needed. The fan base is established. It’s a win win for
@paramountplus
to launch a
#RebootTheOriginalLWord
with guaranteed money.
@LaurelLHolloman
I remember how brave you were, showing your pregnancy and allowing all women to never feel shamed by their body changing. Many of us were there watching you carry that little gal through season 2. What a joy. Happy Birthday Lola. You will always be Mama’s little girl. ❤️🎂🎁
If you want to use The L Word in a show, then you just have to have Bette Porter in it. Otherwise, just call it something else. Bette has been a constant character, and
#JenniferBeals
deserves the respect of knowing her character is still needed.
#BringBetteBack
Who is up for a show just centered on Bette, Tina and Angie with a few guest appearances by the OG? We had “The Fosters,” now can we have “The Porters?”
I'm so happy my sweetheart was able to collect this art study that holds a lot of meaning to her. Thank you
@LaurelLHolloman
for being so gracious to take a picture with
@kitycatt13
and Splendor in the Grass. Thank you
@cgilgallery
for putting this show together.
Can you imagine if season one, episode one started off with these two walking into Dana’s just like this? We would have been able to have two full seasons of seeing this lovely couple together along with the parenting that comes with raising an adolescent.
#ThankYouJenniferBeals
Tibette fans were at a high, even IF the SL felt rushed. We got our Endgame, but at what cost? I'm not sure we will ever know exactly what happened. But...I'm sad.
#ThankYouBettePorter
Throwback to Season 5 Premier Party of The L Word. Groundbreaking series which helped tons of LGBTQ+ people feel validated and brave enough to come out and live authentically. I was one of them.

Thank you
@LaurelLHolloman
and
@jenniferbeals
for your gift of acting as you brought us, Bette and Tina. You changed lives; myself included. Your continued advocacy for a community that still fights for equality and representation is appreciated.

The intense thought Laurel shows when pausing to answer questions concerning her art career, how she names her pieces, the creative process, and more, lends to how deeply connected she is to her work. 2024

They never stopped being in love, ever. Tibette fans subscribed to Showtime only to see the beauty of them coming back, and it wasn't because MLR wanted it. It was because fans demanded it, and our Ship Captains made it happen.

No fictional couple can bring it like Bette & Tina. The outstanding acting and personal chemistry between
@LaurelLHolloman
&
@jenniferbeals
is unmatched. Tibette brought strength to so many to live their truth. I was one of them. We can’t accept less than them as a happy couple.

's vision came to life on our screens. For me, it was Bette & Tina's relationship that has owned my❤️. Both characters had a major impact on the direction of my life.
@jenniferbeals
and
@LaurelLHolloman
helped bring Ilene's vision to life. Thank u all.
Happy Mother’s Day to all friends in the UK who are moms to their own children, like a mom to others, or a mom to your turn babies, I hope you all feel the love today and every day. Mothers are precious, and deserve to feel how special they are. 💗💐🌺🪷🌼
#MothersDay2023
When you see these trending together, you are mindful of why the necessity of showing a married couple (Tibette) on TV is vital at a time when Same-Sex Marriage is under attack. We must have Tibette in this series. If MLR doesn't like it...then resign!
#jenniferbeals
@Showtime
A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY! To my beautiful partner
@kitycatt13
To know her is to know beauty, kindness, selflessness, loyalty, strength, humor and so much more.
I hope you are always blessed with only the good things in life. You’re a diamond among stones. Happy Birthday, baby! xo
NEWS FLASH
@MarjaLewisRyan
@reginaYhicks
@ilenechaiken
the Tibette Fans will NOT accept a marriage to Carrie. You are skilled enough to easily write Tina returning home to find Carrie left her, cheated, or whatever you need to do to fix this. TiBette is forever.
#tibette
Remember how happy they were? Bette putting Tina's career first, and heading to NY to be married? We believed they were living their best life; their happily ever after. Now, we want to actually see it.
#TibetteIsEndGame
I’m thrilled to see this exhibit finally show after 2 years of waiting. You could see Laurel’s excitement not only through her art but the passion in her eyes. A terrific blend of large and small pieces. Need to make some wall space! I’m sure all who attend will enjoy. 🖼 🖼 🖼
Happy Birthday to this amazing woman,
@jenniferbeals
🎂🎁🍷🌴🍄📸🎬
You've completely redefined 60 as the new 30! Thank you for igniting the flames of advocacy and genuinely caring about our community. I hope today and every day you are blessed with good health and happiness.
@LaurelLHolloman
Full circle to when Bette opened the door in S1 and there was Tina w/fans screaming! Even 10 yrs later, Tibette loyalty is solid. You are the sole reason I’ve continued to watch the show. For me, there is no Bette without Tina. TY so much for returning. You’re loved. 💖🌻
The Tibette effect is a phenomenon that has surprised many inside and outside the industry. This speaks of the impact and mark left by
@jenniferbeals
and
@LaurelLHolloman
by their portrayal, and by
@ilenechaiken
vision over two decades. To whoever wrote this, you nailed it.
The character of Bette Porter has been a constant in pretty much every episode since the original
#LWORD
and
#lwordgenerationq
We don't know why JB was only in 4 of 10 episodes; but while the trend won't bring her back, we can still show love for her character.
#BringBetteBack
Hey Bette did you hit your head? This right here is THE most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen. What were you thinking when you uttered those words, except hoping to land an art deal? Pippa is beautiful, but hands down, Tina’s still smoking hot. 🔥
@LaurelLHolloman
@jenniferbeals
Aww... trending together. 🥹💗
@Showtime
please make our dreams come true and reboot our beloved show with
@ilenechaiken
because she knows this show like no one else.
@paramountplus
if you are involved, please help make it happen!
#TheLWordNewYork
I have to admit, over the last 2 months, my excitement is growing over S3 of GenQ where it seems Tibette's coming home. It's a reminder of how solid and loyal the Tibette fandom is, and how the love for them has continued. I'm looking forward to their SL and others too. 🤗🫶⭕️
Happy
#TibetteThursday
everyone. I know I haven't been as active interacting, as things have been busy with work and getting sorted for the holidays. I thank you for always being kind and understanding. I'll continue to hop on and catch up. Sorry if I've missed posts. 🤗💕
I'm so happy to see this trend.
@paramountplus
as you decide what shows you want to put on your lineup, a discussion could be had with
@ilenechaiken
to
#RebootTheOriginalLWord
so we can have PROPER representation and a Showrunner that listens to fans and cast. Thank you.🏳️🌈
I'm so sad that Jennifer is leaving GenQ. I truly hope this was a decision she wanted to make. In the industry she is in, you don't get to openly discuss negativity, but it sure makes you wonder if MLR had something to do with this decision by JB.
#ThankYouBettePorter
Back from the framer and it’s beautiful. Thank you
@LaurelLHolloman
for the encouragement and support. The personalization means so much to me, as you were the inspiration why I started writing, and continue today. You tell me never to stop writing, I say never stop painting.
@LaurelLHolloman
As a kid from a strict Italian Catholic family (w/homophobic parents) and growing up in a town of 4,500 or so, coming out wasn’t an option. I tried dating guys, but couldn’t fake it, so stopped dating. Then came Tibette, and I saw what could be. I came out. They changed my life.
Damn. I've never seen the fandom as fired up as it is right now. Fans speaking loud and clear about their discontent with MLR and their love for Jennifer and her beloved Bette Porter. Add to that, LH who is likely gone too, and then the Gini fans. It's a mess!
See this right here, no one has better expressions than what
@LaurelLHolloman
brings to Tina Kennard. So much is said without a sound. We need a thread with the favorite facial expressions of
#TinaKennard
So let’s bring it!
#Tibette
is a love story that never ends. Thank you
@jenniferbeals
and
@LaurelLHolloman
for your extraordinary performance as Bette and Tina over the years and for being the most loyal
#Tibette
fans. The quality of your work is unrivaled. The best. Period.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
@Showtime
The fact is
@LaurelLHolloman
’s presence on this show and the necessity of Tibette is the life jacket that is saving this series. Thank you Laurel for coming back!
For those who aren't on Instagram. Jennifer made a beautiful post, copied here. The vows she hand-wrote for Bette to Tina. I am so utterly grateful for the beautiful hearts that are

Apologies for not being around much; I’ve been busy between the holidays and work. I hope everyone is well, and that your holidays were super. Happy

to you all. 💗
@SHO_TheLWord
When we said
#TibetteIsEndgame
we didn't mean
#TheEnd
I was thrilled to see more scenes with B&T, and their endgame, but the scenes felt rushed. Was this just a bone thrown to Tibette fans to shut us up? Can you confirm they're only in 2 more eps? That's f*cked up!🤬
