This title translated from German means Ladies Dramas. It’s a book of short comic stories without text about women involved in strange sexual experiences. For example the first story is about a woman who gets her clothes dirty so she gets naked and puts the clothes in the garbage and runs out to give the garbage bag to the garbage collector. He pretends to put the bag in a truck but really hides it in a tree and comes back for it later. He takes the dress and lays it on his bed along with some of the other stuff she’s thrown out and recreates a woman. Tape from a cassette for her hair, lemon halfs for her boobs, stockings for her legs and a napkin with a kiss mark for her face. Then he gets dressed up fancy, serenades the fake woman and then goes to bed with her. Others stories include a woman getting video tapped peeing and a couple doing it in a burly man suit (like a bear suit but of a hairy naked man.) So you can see why this book is entertaining. This is another book I got at the Buenaventura Press table at MOCCA. The cover is nicely silkscreened. This version seems to be sold out but I think a non-silkscreen version can be purchased here. You can learn more about Anna here.
