Happy Double X Chromosome Day
Cover of Tee Corinne’s Cunt Coloring Book (1975).
March 8 is International Women’s Day.
Happy IWD to all my friends of the gynaecological persuasion.
And apologies to my readers: I realize that this site hasn’t seen an update in a while now, but I’ve been busy trying to meet a deadline. Hang in there.
In the meantime – as always – here’s some topical art: American feminist-lesbian artist Tee Corinne‘s Cunt Coloring Book. (Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like.) Corinne is also remembered these days for her print, Untitled (Woman in wheelchair with able bodied lover), which made it onto the cover of Britpop band Suede’s debut album – albeit as a mirror image.
I don’t own a copy of the CCB – though Amazon has a few for sale at fairly reasonable prices – so below are a smattering of images culled from the interwebs.
Untitled (Woman in wheelchair with able bodied lover),(1979), Tee Corinne. Image from the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art.
Suede (1993), Suede.

Corinne is American, so it’s sheer coincidence that CCB is also the abbreviation of a eloquent well-known and well-loved Hokkien expletive?

I did. Sorry, bad on keeping up right now – rushing to meet deadline. Everything – Facebook, e-mail, Morrissey concert – taking a bit of a backseat until I knock this one out. Have fun though !
