No matter your sexual orientation, everyone found Showtime’s sexy series The L Word a little titillating. (C’mon, admit it.) Since the series ended in 2009, lesbians and heteros alike have been chomping at the bit for another show to satiate their voyeuristic voids.  On June 20^th at 10pm ET/PT, it looks like premium channel subscribers will get their wish.

Executive Producer of The L Word, Ilene Chaiken, along with the producers of Project Runway and Top Chef are bringing us all the The Real L Word, a sizzling docu-drama following the real lives of six attractive and successful lesbians living and loving in the city of Los Angeles.  The show claims to be nothing like any other scripted reality series, but a true inside look at the relationships, the careers, the family struggles and the sex lives of these extremely intriguing and entertaining women. According to the buzz from critics, it’s said that when you put a bunch of lesbians together…”expect a lot of drama.”

Cheeky checked out the characters and gives you six reasons why The Real L Word is a show to watch this summer, courtesy of Sho.com.

Meet Mikey:

The wild wizard behind the fashion show curtain. Tatt’ed up and cruisin’ into downtown on one of her custom-built motorcycles, everyone knows when Mikey has entered the Cooper Building. When not preparing for LA Fashion Weekend, she’s marketing and promoting her designer clients — from model auditions and fittings, to drinks, meetings and photo shoots. Unfortunately, her non-stop work week leaves Mikey with little time to spend with her makeup artist fiancé – let alone come to an agreement with her on wedding plans. We shall see if she can juggle it all…

Meet Nikki (left):

This super stylish, highly successful, alpha type-A with the cute West Hollywood house was married for a short time in her early 20s to a man before she came out on The Oprah Winfrey Show. She later won a GLAAD Award for her appearance and has never looked back. Nikki is proud to be called a “barracuda” in the industry. When she’s not representing a fierce list of A-list directors and talent, this only child spends her free time shopping – and most recently, wedding planning with her fiancée, Jill. She may be a perfectionist, but she’s not above crying it out – so long as no one is looking

Meet Jill (right):

The girl next door wears running shoes by day and heels by night. Jill is open and welcoming, but steer clear when college football is on because she goes Wolverine over her alma mater, Michigan. This Jersey girl is very close to her family and has their full support. Once insecure about her “sexual fluidity,” she is now excited to show off her “normal and beautiful life.” Jill is the girl all the guys want, but only one girl has.

Meet Rose:

This sexy Latina is a heartbreaking Lotharia trying to shake old habits and be in a serious relationship… but she isn’t sure she trusts herself just yet. Fortunately, she has a very supportive family who would love to see her settle down with her girlfriend of seven months — whom they all adore. But Rose is altar-skittish and may be too wild to be tamed by one flame. She might be old-fashioned, but will a taste for excitement and the good life keep this self-described player from being able to commit?

Meet Tracy:

Beyond her smoking hot looks, Tracy is a hip chick, doing her thing – developing blockbusters during the week while skating and hanging with friends on the weekend. With a touch of earthiness and easy charm, she’s recently out and on the scene. Tracy is every girl’s dream, except maybe for her mother, who’s having a hard time dealing with Tracy’s sexuality. Will Tracy be able to reconnect with her mom while juggling a new relationship that comes with its own complicated family dynamics?

Meet Whitney:

With savvy street smarts and a wild edge, Whitney is an absolute handful. And it doesn’t take long to pick up on the passion for women that gets her into trouble… a lot of trouble… especially with straight girls. While Whitney may be the best friend you’ll ever have, she’s the self-professed worst girlfriend. She’s “…always looking for love, but losing to lust.”
