Synopsis

A new century, maybe, but what the mainstream media sees as ?women?s interests? remains totally predictable. Inappropriate Behaviour is a collection by writers who neither wish to be Bridget Jones or look like Jennifer Aniston, nor do they want to drive a Renault Clio or go to Tuscany or make things out of radiccio. Subject matter? Molls, mothers, Satanism,Gwyneth Paltrow, Belly Dancing, nuns, what to wear in a war-zone. Inspired by Naomi Klein?s No Logo, Inappropriate Behaviour rejects the globalization of culture. It asserts the individual?s right to live, dress and party in ways that reflect personal choices and are not dictated by the commercial concerns of ?style?.

Media Reviews
?There is an appealing energy about the book? Rowan Pelling, Daily Telegraph ?picks at the ordered threads of society, unravelling taboos and shredding stereotypes in a bid to poke discrimination in the eye... Why not cause a few raised eyebrows yourself and read it on the tube at rush hour? Ruth Saxelby, Jockey Slut ?An interesting collection of female voices looking at anything and everything from a varied perspective. And there?s nothing inappropriate about that? Francesca Gavin, Dazed and Confused ?A liberating acknowledgement that for post-feminist women, there?s an alternative to the bland conformity and consumerism offered as an increasingly usual model by product placers? Tina Jackson, Big Issue
Author Bio
Kerri Sharp is the editor of Black Lace erotic fiction at Virgin Publishing and an author and film-maker. Her stance as a pro-porn feminist led her to be accused (by the Daily Mail) of 'corrupting the morals of the nation's women and betraying civilised values.' She says this was her finest hour.
