Jessica have been married several years now.<span>
</span>Socially and financially stable, they seem to be quite happy.<span> </span>Yet Christa is having an affair with a young
waitress.<span> </span>She longs to better understand
why she is doing what she is doing.<span> </span>All
she knows is that something is missing from her life.<span> </span>In a world where only 8% of homosexual women
cheat on their partners, what does it mean to be in that 8%?<span> </span>What does it say about the cheater?<span> </span>The spouse?<span>
</span>The lover?<span> </span>What is missing that
might drive a person into such an affair?<span>
</span>“Imperfect Goddesses” tries to examine these questions, to talk about
the very real pain and emotional longing within affairs. </font></span></p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">

expected to be employed.<span> </span>However, the
amount and type of nudity will be left up to the two actresses in the scene and
the director working together.<span> </span>No

uncomfortable and the choices made will be strictly noted ahead of time and
