Anthology of photographs. Introduction by Susie Bright.


"The cry for decent lesbian pornography wells up regularly but is rarely answered. Now, for your delectation, there is Nothing But the Girl , a well endowed collection of colour and black-and-white photographs of steamed-up sapphics in seductive, confrontational and feathery poses. It's all here, spreadeagled across page after wipe-clean page: Pierced Labia! Bulldagger! Black Femme! Fat Dyke! Giant Cunt! Naked Old Lady! Bimbo In A Blonde Wig!...

"Possibly, in order to nip radical feminist criticism (aka censorship) in the bud, Bright and Posener have given ample space to the artists to explain their influences, methods and histories of libidinous endeavour and creative graft. There's even commodious margin space reserved to rebuke those judicious feminists. These two facets together make for a superb testament to both the SM and vanilla aspects of lesbian sexuality." --Megan Radclyffe (in Time Out , No.1352, 17-24 July 1996).
