Stephanie & Lisa

New York, New York

Stephanie Schroeder, 46, Freelance Journalist

Lisa Haas, 45, Writer/Monologist

Lisa is a playwright, monologist and essayist. Stephanie is a freelance journalist currently working on her memoir, Beautiful Wreck: Sex, Lies & Suicide. To their dismay, however, writing skills don’t always translate into sexy first dates. “We met at a Starbucks, and before my ass even hit the chair, Stephanie was going on and on about a woman she was having an affair with in London. I thought to myself OMG, yet another lesbo claiming to be interested in dating but totally unavailable,” Lisa mused. Luckily, they persevered long enough to give it another shot. Reasons to hang out with this captivating couple? “We are lesbos with a sense of humor—not community buzz-kills. We’ve had more than two dates, but still haven’t backed up the U-Hall. We are pro-sex and are actually having it (with each other), we look good together in photos, and we still talk to our friends even though we’ve been dating for over a year!”
