Description

RECEPTION 6PM , PROGRAM 7PM.
Come hear author Andrea Askowitz read from her new book, My Miserable, Lonely Lesbian Pregnancy, a funny, whiny, all-too-real account of one girl's true adventure in maternity. From finding a great donor who turns out to be shooting blanks ("I was a lesbian with male fertility problems") through all-day morning sickness and graduation into "fat-girl underwear,"’ Andrea's life reads like an antidote to sugar-sweet pregnancy guides and memoirs. In week 8, her sense of smell becomes so strong that she can tell what deodorant people are wearing. In week 28, she plans a pity party, complete with black-only dress code and a violin player. Joining her in conversation are lesbian moms and writers Rose Arce, Karin Cook (What Girls Learn), Louise Sloane (Knock Yourself Up: No Man? No Problem – A Tell-all Guide to Becoming a Single Mom), and Linda Villarosa (The Black Parenting Book). Moderated by Center Kids Director Terry Boggis.
