What’s in the box?
The lesBIan Box Set includes three
twentieth-century novellas about bisexual women.
“A Little
Burlesque” is set at the tail-end of the Vaudeville era. Madame Mireille's
ocean-side parlour specializes in raunchy comedy sketches, undulating fan
dances, chorus lines and, of course, the striptease. The all-female troupe's
two newest members couldn’t be more different—Ginger’s a saucy redhead who’s
been around the block a few times, while young Orchid embodies innocence and
naïveté—but the girls share secrets that could land them in trouble.
“Good Bi Valentine”
follows the comedic exploits of Lexi the Sexi building superintendent. After
joining her favourite tenant-with-benefits for a Valentine’s Day romp, she’s called
out to fix a beautiful woman’s plumbing.
Just when she thinks she’s done for the day, a young couple enlists her
help with a video camera. Will this
V-Day never end?
In “Ondine,” novice
painter Evelyn Fon’s first gala celebration it defies her every
expectation. She thought she’d be
attending on the arm of Gavin Drinkwater Junior. When Evelyn discovers her date is Gavin’s
elitist father, she’s drawn into a story of billionaires, art patrons, and the
mystery surrounding his mother’s torrid 1970s love affair with a ballerina
named Ondine.
