ThreeWay: Most Memorable Pop Culture Moments of 2009

Julia: Oh, 2009. Already I pine for you. You brought so much pop culture goodness our way.

Amy: Indeed 'twas a great year for gossip and TV! So much fun, to help us forget all of the mess (healthcare, the economy) that we're dealing with in real life – even if for just a half hour at a time.

Julia: Amen. Life without fluff would be so dreary. So let's dig in. And perhaps we should start with the obvious... Ding dong, the bitch is finally dead. (Bitch = Jenny Schecter.) I don't know why. I don't know who. But Halle-mother-humping-lu. (Jah.)

Amy: Praise the Goddesses from the heavens, trees and earth, lesbians are free to spend their Sunday nights at full moon circles, or watching football, depending on what kind of lez you are.

As long as we don't have to call them Pookie!

Amy: It was fitting that the last season was horrible; it made it even easier to not miss it.

Julia: Right?! It was a relief to have it be over.

Amy: Moving along, and because I know you are chomping at the bit...

Julia: Ha.

Amy: Your girl...

Julia: My girl!

Amy:  LGG!

Julia: It was a big year for Gaga and the Little Monster Nation.

Amy: Srsly.

Julia: I thought her signature move this year was the VMA's performance of "Paparazzi."

Amy: I agree. It was epic.

Julia: It really was. It was fucking genius. Hands down the savviest take on our whacked out fame-obsessed, celebrity-stalking culture I’ve seen in freaking forever.

Two of Gaga's many monster looks from the VMAs.

Amy: Controversial, art genius, not to mention her costume changes throughout the night.

Julia: I know, I loved the red
