This is one of my all-time favorite pictures of Moi-self. It was taken by my former housemate Ofrah Shiloh, who has since returned to her native Israel. It was one of my happiest days, during some my happiest years, living in an all-women's cooperative household in bohemian West Philadelphia. The mural behind me is from a building across the way from Mariposa Food Co-op, where I was then a member. Unfortunately, I can't really show my face in that part of town anymore, as I've dated half its population.
You know how that is! If not, look out for my future published diaries. I will be telling tales, my friend, and I'll be tellin' 'em good (and true--with fake names, of course!) Wow. That was the longest photo caption in herstory!

This image is one of Moi's truly prized possessiones, if you will. Tee Corinne was one of my sheroes and mentors. She was a vibrant and prolific author, photographer, artist, and activist for women's artistic and sexual freedom of expression.
Tee transitioned to another realm in August of 2006.
