8/9/2003: Performance artist "rips off" skin

Undertoad · 08-09-2003, 04:47 PM

The official caption: <i>Ksenia Vidyaykina performs as a 1920's era strip tease dancer who takes off her cloths, and then her skin in a portion of 'Trapped,' a one woman performance which tells stories of women alone, confined, and forced into difficult choices, during a press preview of the New York International Fringe Festival, Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2003, in New York.</i>

"...takes off her cloths"? The Associated Press ain't what it used to be.

The Philadelphia Fringe Festival is coming up in 3 weeks...I wonder if she'll perform here too.

Welcome to the post-Internet era. Nobody give a damn about speling or grammer.

Dave does.

Didn't Griff do something like that to a deer once?

I wonder if Robbie Williams has seen this article yet...

"Fringe" or "cringe"? Just that little image there makes me shiver and clutch my thigh.

Perhaps she begins her performance wrapped in various pieces of unfinished textiles? In that instance, the statement would be correct.

maybe she isn't wearing Clothes maybe she is just wearing cloths, if you look at her feet those don't look like clothes to me.

Sounds like a ripoff.

I know you are all thinking this, but not saying it, so I'm going to be the gross guy...

Does she rip off her tits? Disgusting though that may seem, it *would* be quite the statement about the current state of affairs as concerns the female form in pop culture.

Torrere · 08-10-2003, 09:10 PM

I hadn't considered that, but I don't think it's all that important. She simply rips off the skin that's over her breasts, same as the rest of her skin... right?

Maybe I'm wrong and she doesn't rip off all of her 'skin'.

xoxoxoBruce · 08-10-2003, 09:41 PM

Great date. you could tear off a piece anytime.

Emrikol · 08-11-2003, 01:47 PM

Okay, maybe I'm dumb...or not...but, I can't figure it out. Is she really pulling off her own skin? *shudders*
