A Legacy Of Lesbian Love Letters (No 5) - DEAR SAPPHO

April 1994
Darling Wendy or Wendy Darling -
I'm in a limo driving to sound check thinking of you you, of Sunny, of the bridge we just went over.  We've been gone a day, but as in heaven - a day is as a thousand.  Perhaps not to you, but I've already done two planes; two shows; 2 hotels; thousands of people; 3 showers; 1 in-store; 8 different limos; 3 different promoters; a hundred autographs; 2 strippers; 60 photographers; 4 interviews; 3 mini-stores for food; 2 meals; 4 bunches of flowers; 7 roses; lots of phone calls (I've told everyone about you); 4 shots of Jagermeister; 1 buttery nipple; 5 different tapes all the way through; 2 sound checks; 7 bottles of water; 1 blown speaker; 1 mic stand explosion;


and a million thoughts of You.  I'm tired.  It's raining - warm and wet - sound familiar?  I'd kiss this, but it won't do a damn bit of good - I never wear lipstick do I?  Is this absurd?  Are we - am I?  I' m in Office Depot to touch you with my writing.
Kisses,
Christina


CHRISTINA TO WENDY
Christina Minna spends most of her life touring with the band Fem2Fem.  She met Wendy Jill York, the photographer and current editor of the magazine 50/50, during an interview.  Much of their relationship was conducted via letters and faxes - the example published here is a fax - sent back and forth while Christina was on the road.

Fem2Fem was a 1990s techno group who released two albums. With actress Lezlie Deane of Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare as a member, Fem2Fem were the first and (so-far only) openly lesbian pop group to chart. But only some of the members of Fem2Fem were lesbians, and according to lead singer Michele Crispin their intentions at the beginning were to promote a healthy view of sexuality with their music, regardless of sexual orientation. However, an appearance by the band in the December 1993 issue of Playboy magazine and the non-political nature of their sapphic lyrics led to criticism by some in the LGBT community that the band was merely playing to the prurient interests of a heterosexual male audience....
