The following stills from the Netflix original "Gypsy" were posted on my Twitter feed (@sleritz) during #SidAppreciationWeek (Sept. 17 - 23, 2017). These are roughly chronological as the episodes progress. (Accompanying captions mine.)
 |
| Wanted: Barista at the "Rabbit Hole" |
 |
| Audacious flirt; "...it's actually kinda hot." |
 |
| Sid can barely contain her delight when Diane visits the Rabbit Hole. |
 |
| Sid is a human emoji; her emotions shine right through; Diane arrives, she's thrilled! |
 |
| Sid; only she can make tank top, apron & ratty sweatshirt look hot. |
 |
| Sid; detects lame pick-up lines when she hears them. "Have you always been into coffee?" "It's a job." |
 |
| Sid; aglow in stage presence; audience transfixed! (particularly Diane) |
 |
| Sid beyond thrilled that Diane came to the show (but trying to stay cool). |
 |
| Typical lesbian first date; revealing intimate family details and getting deep; referring to "subtext." |
 |
| Sid; Rachel Weisz's doppelganger. (Damn these Brits are gorgeous!) |
 |
| With a twist of hair, Sid gently inserts her tentacles into Diane. Neither will ever be the same. |
 |
| Sid; the object of fantasy for SO many (Sam, Jean, Twitterverse ...) |
 |
| Sid wears her emotions on her sleeve; surprised and delighted when Diane arrives at Bushwick popup. |
 |
| Sid starts to get a sense of what she's dealing with; "Maybe that's what I want you to see," Diane says to her. |
 |
| Sid rocks the party in tiger-striped t-shirt & shorts (and is the sexiest one there). |
 |
| It's easy to tell what Sid's thinking when she stares at Diane; "I'm gonna kiss you soon." |
 |
| Occasionally daring with the eye make-up. |
 |
| The closer she is to Diane, the better she feels; Sid is completely obsessed. |
 |
| Sid's attraction to Diane is boundless; it's like a magnetic force. |
 |
| Sometimes, Sid's impulsiveness rubs Diane the wrong way; Diane flees. |
 |
| Sid can't wait to snuggle under the covers at the movies with Diane. |
 |
| Sid is inclined to run in 2" heeled boots; high on adrenaline after her date with Diane. |
 |
| Of course, for Sid the Millennial, "we're not doing anything wrong" and "nobody gives a shit." |
 |
| Sid assures Diane that it's "OK" that she's a "lesbian virgin." |
 |
| Sid keeps appearing in Diane's dreams ... |
 |
| Sid doesn't care if it's impolite to ask a woman her age; "38? or 40? 45?" |
 |
As Sid describes her girl crush on her teacher, it's apparent that Sid has obsessive tendencies. "Madly in love."
(Alternate caption: Sid is a master of Millennial parlance: "chill" and "you only live once.") |
 |
| Sid is so touched by Diane's thoughtful gift; literally and symbolically, a flame. |

 |
Sid digs the dagger in deeper by telling Diane that she and Sam "ended up fucking just like old times."
(Alternate commentary: Sid rocks the British accent; go on, you can hear it, "scared little girl" (no R)) |

 |
| Sid's tenderness and compassion emerge when Diane needs it most. There's no doubt how much Sid cares for her. |

 |
| Sid likes to be in charge; she takes Diane by the hand to bring her to her sex lair. |
 |
| Sid's not too interested in Hostessing 101; she's more interested in circling her prey. |
 |
| As is often the case with two women, before the sex there's emotional intimacy (i.e., talking and sharing). |
 |
| Sid masters the art of seduction with a slow dance; bewitching. |
 |
| Ever the horn dog, Sid can't help but give Diane the "I want to fuck you" up-and-down stare. |
 |
| Sid enjoys a slow dance as long as it eventually leads to a kiss. |
 |

| Sid, at the mercy of all her appetites, gets the munchies and of course orders pizza. |
 |
| Sid characterizes Diane's Blue Dream-inspired contemplation with one word: "Deep." |
 |
| Sid wants to know, "Does that turn you on?" Knowledge she may use later ... |

 |
| Sid can't believe how adept Diane is at resisting her charms. |
 |
Sid is a master of little white lies; this is her "in the bath," chatting on the phone with Diane.
(Alternate caption: Modern day dating; sending each other selfies and arranging for the next hook up.) |
 |
| Sid deprives Diane of watching her solo session; Diane's desire for her is visceral, evoking an immediate "oh god." |
 |
| Sid's urgency for Diane is unmatched. |
 |
| Sid begins to detect that Diane is distancing herself. |
 |
| Sid makes an impulsive trip to Darien just to briefly talk to Diane; she can feel her pulling away and she's devastated. |
 |
| On the train home from Darien, just getting a text from Diane perks her up. |
 |
| Enjoying yet another ALLLMOST kiss, Sid has no idea that Diane is planning to disentangle herself from Sid. |
