Lesbian Cinema Arts presents Ashley and Kisha: Finding The Right Fit

Event Date
Friday, January 23 2009 : 6:30pm

Location
The Center

Description
Reception 6:30PM
Program 7:30PM

The first time Ashley saw Kisha’s bare bottom, Ashley was making out with an ex-girlfriend. So begins the story of two women who seemed destined not to be together. Ashley was a lady-killer and proud of it; Kisha was sexually conservative and straight. But Ashley’s doggy ways turned to dogged determination as she watched one after another of her surefire moves fail to get her into Kisha’s pants. Finally, after weeks of failed seduction, Ashley’s determination paid off. Kisha’s ambivalence gave way to curiosity, her curiosity gave way to desire, and ultimately desire blossomed into love.

Only persons 21+ years of age will be admitted.
