"Golden Gals Gone Wild!"
It seems a few years ago, the curator of this show bought a painting of Bea Arthur, topless. She fell so completely in lust with this painting that she thought it would be great to get some of her artist friends together and throw this show where all of the art consisted of sexually explicit images of those famous female retirees, the Golden Girls.
To say the idea took off would be kind of an understatement...
The opening for the show was last Friday. I went with some friends of the curator and a couple of the artists. We arrived when the go-go dancers hit the floor - girls in lingerie with papermachie heads representing each of the ladies in question.
The art was nasty and awesome. Rue McClanahan in a portrait of condoms and bubblegum. Betty White in bondage. And more than one topless Bea Arthur, besides the inspirational image (which was for sale at a cost of "Change Your Life Money!").
It's showing in Hollywood till the end of the month, and if you're in the neighborhood, you should check it out. You'll never see old folks in quite the same way again...
