Superfly / Tess. Hive Queen / Sherry

Description:

College students and friends Tess and Sherry write about their own and one another's lives. In Superfly, Tess writes about guilt, privilege, and prostitution; girl hate and using the word "bitch"; and her initial discomfort with finding out Sherry is bisexual. There is a word search of Descendants' song names and a list of reasons why Tess is bitter. The theme of Hive Queen No. 3 is sex. Sherry writes about the insignificance of virginity as a term and concept, how marriage sucks, and her thoughts on orgasms, masturbation, and "abstaining from a focus on genitals." She also writes about her queerness and about Tess being fat. Both Tess and Sherry use typewritten text and clip art.
