Ilene Chaiken, executive producer of The L Word, will be launching a new social network “for lesbians and their friends” this January, in conjunction with the fourth season of the show. A sort of My Space for lesbians, OurChart.com will feature original as well as user-generated content, along with exclusive material from The L Word. Actors Jennifer Beals, Katherine Moennig, and Leisha Hailey “will also contribute to the site by developing content for their fans that reflect their personal interests.”
Hilary Rosen, former head of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), will serve as president of OurChart. Rosen is also the partner of sometime HRC executive director Elizabeth Birch, and served as interim director herself for a short time.
I know “OurChart” refers to the whiteboard diagram of interconnected relationships maintained by Leisha Hailey’s character Alice. Is it just me, though, or does the name make any of you other assisted-reproduction moms think of things ovulatory?
