17 Guys I Fucked Babylove17 Guys I Fucked
Synopsis:
It's about what it says it's about- and then some! "Clifford's excellent show "17 Guys I Fucked" is at the Culture Project at 45 Bleecker St., which provided much honestly and humor,as well as several fucks who were definitely not guys. More than that, Clifford mined the depths of her sexual past to come up with a story that told about much more than just sex, but about life, learning, identity and exploration. It's an emotionally moving, sexual coming of age story."- NYBlade
