Finger-licking Good


Book Description

Lesbians have lived through the porn wars, the sex wars and the dildo wars but, asks Tamsin Wilton, isn't it time to start making love, not war? For all the hype and visibility around lesbians in the mass media, lesbian sex is under attack from all sides -- a consequence of the resurgence of the far Right, the revival of religious fundamentalism, the increase in fascist activity and the construction of 'family values' as a political and social totem. While the combined might of the political and religious Right attempt to marginalize and eradicate lesbian sexuality, a number of feminists have joined them. This controversial book is primarily an exploration of political struggles around lesbian sex within lesbian communities, which sets out to expose the profoundly damaging influence of the lesbian sex 'police', and to argue for unity between feminists and queers who share a political commitment to transform the institution of gender itself. Queer feminist Tamsin Wilton has written this book as an act of resistance, 'tomcatting around the field of sex, marking out the territory for the dykes'. Bringing a forthright, fresh perspective to debates around Lesbian sadomasochism, butch-femme, dildos, lesbian porn and the lesbian sex prefects, she draws interesting conclusions. Is the dildo-wielding dyke a victim of false consciousness, or the ultimate radical feminist rebel? Who is the real 'fascist', the SM dyke or the revolutionary feminist who castigates her?

Finger Lickin' Good!


Book Description

A one man show about one of the most recognized faces in the world...Colonel Harland Sanders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken!!! Although he is most well-known for the eleven herbs and spices that made Kentucky Fried Chicken famous world-wide, Harland "Colonel" Sanders' life was about much more than fried chicken. The man whose face became synonymous with "finger-lickin' good" chicken used hard work and perseverance - not to mention a little luck along the way - to become recognized as Kentucky's most famous citizen. Armed with only a sixth-grade education, Sanders worked a number of jobs over the years - an army mule tender, railroad worker, tire salesman, and farmhand. In 1930, he moved to Corbin and opened a lunchroom behind a service station that had room for six people sitting at one table. His restaurant grew rapidly, and in a short time, he was operating Sanders' Cafe, which seated 142 patrons. His customers made fried chicken the most popular item on the menu. He might have worked in that cafe for the rest of his life if it weren't for the building of Interstate 75, forcing him to sell his place at auction. Sanders was now in his mid-sixties, an age when most people take the opportunity to retire. He decided to go out on the road, traveling the country showing restaurants how to make Colonel Sanders' Kentucky Fried Chicken. By 1963, there were more than 600 outlets selling his chicken.
