What
is lesbian style? For privatePink, a couple of dyke designers
behind this Lesbian Calendar for 2006, the answer is illuminated
in that flash of recognition you experience when you see
dykes out there in the world--two gals walking along the
beach with a dog, embracing at the international terminal,
filling a car up with fuel, catching the train--all momentarily
queering the aesthetics of everyday spaces.
Each
of the images in this candy-coloured calendar shows hyper-stylised
illustrated heroines going about the little rituals of life:
twelve fleeting snapshots of contemporary lesbian culture
for the pop consumer. The ephemeral scenes are both warmly
familiar and seductively iconic.
Designers Keren Moran and Noa Peer describe their motivation
for producing a lesbian product: "With our base in
Sydney Australia we've had the privilege of living in a
very gay tolerant--nay--friendly city for the last few years
and we've seen enough of what's around to realize that for
us girls there isn't much! It's that and the blurry recollections
of Mardi Gras or walking down the street in Newtown that
have led us to create this calendar--the first of many future
Private Pink productions."
