In 2001 Michelle Tea
took us behind the
scenes on the set of an all-female lesbian porn shoot.
"A crew member clutching bottles of lube stumbles around the debris,
poking through piles of feather-trimmed costumes in search of an elusive pack
of Pixie Sticks needed for the next scene, in which the reformed, born-again
street-preaching Honeydew (Shar), catches a whiff of sugar coming off Officer
Blue and his sugar 'ho Cherry Glaze (Josephine X). Honeydew has what those in
Narcotics Anonymous would call a "slip." Cut to a wild candy
threesome to be filmed atop a satin-covered massage table in a room down the
hall."
