DINERS TO WATCH THESE ORIGINAL NINETIES TAPES BACK IN TIME WITH YOU. 

They look so good! That could be your shelf! People buy coffee table books to impress other people, right? They are getting it so wrong. This is what you need!

DYKE TV aired from 1993 on New York cable public access TV. These first five volumes are the edited highlights of the first two years of broadcasting. Each one runs around 50 minutes.

WE COVER DYKES LIKE NO ONE ELSE CAN! They also cover video boxes in different colours but... exactly the same design - not that we are complaining. 

Stealing form Wikipedia here but bottom left on the cover... 

The popular segment “I was a lesbian child” featured the childhood photos and home videos of viewers and contributors. Those featured provided humorous voice-overs narrating their childhoods and emphasizing that they had always been gay. The name of the segment came from a 1992 Lesbian Avengers campaign to push for the gay and lesbian inclusive “Rainbow Curriculum” in New York City public schools, where they wore T-shirts proclaiming “I was a lesbian child.”

Just in case you are really, really young and born on a yesterday sometime in the last 20 years, this (above) is a video cassette.

DYKE TV is great btw. We found a link to an American academic archive and took some screenshots for you. The couple pinned on blue and the woman with the cigarette are from 'I was a lesbian child'. You can watch here too.

OK we promise not to do this every week! But it was kind if irresistible just this once. But it is a fine way to remind everyone that Nadia Lee Cohen's very literal and figurative homage to Martin Parr is currently on display outside of the bathroom at IDEA in London's Soho. Come visit!

Back to DYKE TV. They are for sale! They are historic and cute which is always the best combination! All five of them in one go on the pink button below.
