No longer denying or letting people control or surpress their desires. She can now express virility without denying her womanhood. A woman exploring and enjoying her sexuality with no shame and no need to deny it." A. Rodriguez
The center of the composition is a conglomeration of anthropomorphic forms of legs and feet, and hands and arms in black and white. The top shows a curtain rod with a hanging fabric over which blue type reads: "Spinach never appealed to me / I decided to give it a try" Pink and green type that curves around reads: "I wasn't getting much younger, / so I made the change / No longer is the stuff on the shelf. / But now somehow i [sic] can't get enough / somehow its [sic] always hitting the spot, / especially when they bring it in hot." Red type reads: "I Guess / I Was / Mighty / Green." Smaller blue type at the bottom of the print reads: "hitting the spot by Anna Rodriguez (c. 1992) song by Julia Lee (c. 1949)"
