I was watching the unveiling of those ridiculuous Christo arches in Central Park this morning, and noticed the artist’s wife…who the hell does her hair? She looks like the old Bozo the Clown! Shocking orange tint-electrostatic explosion…man, is she for real?
By the way,I thought those arch things were stupid…are they to be taken down? What will they sell for?
Only a Doper would cackle at this as I did.
Personally, I don’t get the whole Christo gig. He wastes tons of money defacing things and then it all has to be taken down anyhow. Well I guess the arches look cute enough, but I wonder WHY, in the middle of Manhattan, the only semi-natural space has to be “improved” with orange flags?
But look how everybody’s talking about him. :rolleyes:
Saw 'em on the news today. This guy gets paid to hang a bunch of 70’s looking burnt-orange shower curtains in a perfectly good park? Where can I get a slice of this art action? I can rustle up a bunch of fluffy apricot toilet seat covers that would look tres chic nailed to some trees on a golf course.
Just read their ridiculous website: didn’t one of those dumb umbrellas fall on someone’s head and kill them, or is this just wishful thinking?
Ah, but only if that happened in 1960.
Does anyone else think calling yourself by one name, especially one meant to draw a comparison to Jesus Christ, is just the most hilarious, pretentious thing a human can possibly do?
This was what was claimed to have happened according to an episode of The Simpsons, but I don’t really know how trustworthy a source on art that show is…
The nearest 220V outlet.
Alternately, perhaps she uses the same hairdresser as our own Eli Hagen. I believe the salon is called “Hair by Jiffy Pop”.
Very, apparently: a quick Google has just made my day…
