A very angry fetus for Sandy
Benjamin
actually a bit nervous to even think of describing it, but where else
can I share experiences like this?
A friend of mine put on a cabaret show last night that included a number
of burlesque acts. Now she's the same friend that booked the lovely Jack
Daniels act I posted about, so I knew it would be intense. I had no
idea it would be as intense as it was.
The first few acts were sexy and fun, and a bit silly. Dancing girls
pulling off gloves with their teeth and shaking their stuff was the
norm. A feather fan and a few bare breasts was about as intense as it got.
The second act spiced things up so to speak. A young woman came out on
stage, started a typical burlesque strip tease until she was just
wearing a small black skirt. She sat up on a chair and pulled up the
skirt so we could see... well, see everything. A bit edgy for
burlesque, but nothing too unusual.
She then proceeded to pull a plate out and place it on the chair beneath
her. She squated over the chair, lifted the skirt...and well...out came
a tiny little rubber fetus with a tiny umbilical chord. Onto the plate.
I was shocked until she picked it up and ate it. Then I was a bit more
than shocked.
All I can say is that the first thought through my mind was, "Sandy
would love this! Or vomit!"

Man, that's excellent. Remember the female artist at Yale a year
and a half ago who continually inseminated herself over a nine-month
period with donated sperm and immediately aborted the fetuses on
conception, then saved the bloody discharge to put between plastic
sheets (with vaseline to keep it fresh), which were then formed into
a large cube and hung from the ceiling to project videotape of her
doing the abortions on the four sides of the cube?
Yeah. Aliza Schvarts. Wonder what ever happened to her?
But congrats to your cabaret-throwing friend and her cohorts -
much more insightful humor (and certainly relevant to absfg) in a
difficult message that should told and retold.

It is nice to see folks in the art stilling pushing boundries and
limits. I would hate to think we have none left.

Well, she did crumble at the end. In an interview for the Yale
Review she claimed it was real, but then the dean of Yale's art school
threatened to ban her from displaying her project unless she wrote a
confession attesting that the project was a fiction and that no human
blood would be used.
Not exactly Galileo before the Inquisition, but still pushing the
envelope. For a day or two.

Neither. I have never been to strip show and would not likely
go to one. So far as that display is concerned, I would rather the
tiny fetus be REAL and that as she pulled it out it jumped up
and bit her on the neck, severing her neck artery resulting in
a fountain of blood. So it should be for all landlord abuse
of tenants as she violated the terms of the nine month lease.
I would love to see a movie where all the aborted fetuses
reanimated and attacked the population. All Hail the
Angry Zombie Fetus Liberation Army!

If Sandy had written that act the fetus would've bitten
her right back.

It's even better that way in a sense. She rubbed our
nose in the fact that the mere story could disgust and
enrage us. Probably not her intention, but effective
nonetheless.

I hope she continues to poke. But Ben's cabaretista, eating
the chocolate fetus, now THAT'S art!

Without a doubt.
So which gets higher marks, that or Divine eating dogshit
(in "Pink Flamingos")?
Wally Chapman
Divine reigns supreme.

Well that dogshit was pretty real. I'd have to see the fetus.
If it looked phony, or like the proverbial rubber chicken I'd
have to go with Divine. Divine is an American icon, of sorts.
Not exactly a national treasure, but definitely an icon.

>the chocolate fetus, now THAT'S art!
I saw on some glowing rectangle (maybe a prank show?) where some
"homeless" guy is asking people for food, no luck, so he rummages through
a garbage bin, finds a diaper that he'd previously planted, and digs
into the chocolate pudding that had been dalloped inside. Standers-by,
not hip to the chocolate pudding being chocolate pudding, were visibly
disturbed.
I'd wager he shocked more people more severely than Ben's fetus friend...

I'm sure he did! The folks at the show had PAID to see it!
