My lesbian Secret Santa

I need your help -- fast.

During the drawing for our office Secret Santa, I chose the one lesbian in our company, Karen. Here’s a secret – I’m not at all like the gay men we see on TV and in the movies.  Unlike them, I don't have very many lesbians in my real life. In fact, if I were to count the total number of gay women in my life, it would add up to one -- my lesbian Secret Santa, Karen.

All that said, I’m pretty fluent when it comes to gay women on television, so I’ve decided to give Karen a DVD.  I’ve short listed five DVD’s, and I’m hoping someone can post a comment telling me whether or not I’m on the right track – the party is Friday, so I have until Friday morning to get this.

DVD possibilities for Karen:

“30 Rock”: Tina Fey mentioned on David Letterman that lesbians voted her as one of the hottest women of 2007.   Would Karen think so?

“The L Word”: This may be a problem – I’m not sure she’s out at work.  I only know she’s gay because someone told me.  Come to think of it -- uh oh, -- what if she’s not out?

“Prime Suspect”: At least it’s less obvious than “The L Word.”

"Wimbledon 1978 Final: Navratilova vs. Evert":  This would not necessarily "out" her, she's a tennis fanatic. I've seen her have many animated conversations with people around here about Wimbleon matches -- and from what I can tell, she's as into Roger Federer as she is the Williams' sisters. This gift wouldn't bat an eye.

"A League of Their Own":  This movie happens to be on many "top five" movie lists of most of my straight female friends, so I think it's safe.  Plus, if she likes tennis, she lprobably likes softball.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Yes, I realize I'd be outing her if I gave her every one of the five DVD's above, so please limit your input to ONE DVD.

I know the holiday's have already passed, but for future reference its best to go with something that says, "I've been paying attention when you talk." I.E. the tennis dvd, it just makes more sense than something that aims directly at a person's sexuality. That gives people more of an I know your secret vibe. Especially, if she isn't out at work yet.
