The Unknown Fashion Model...

Continuing this journey at Crap Art:Daegu in South Korea at Club That...whew the commercial is out of the way...I saw a visual performer, dressed in a traditional black Korean sheath dress wearing a silver handbag over her her.
She was posing for a few people and in her manner was a delight of social commentary.
From my view, it was apparent there is a message, that I could have simply asked for, but decided to choose my own...as it should be when you look at art in all of its forms.
And for whatever reason I thought of 'The Gong Show" from the 1970s. A regular contestant, who was known for simply wearing a paper bag over his head and telling horrible jokes. I decided to name her, "The Unknown Fashion Model". The average sized woman who clutches to be someone with a fashion bag over her head. With which somehow she produced a camera with an old fashioned winder...you could hear the clicks and the winding of film...something my ears haven't heard in many years.

Marilyn,
You're talking about "The Unknown Comic". I used to watch The Gong Show all the time. She does remind me of that guy. How cool that she took your picture!:)

Her addition was great...and for those who just didn't get it...well there was nothing quite like "The Gong Show"...even the judges looked like they didn't want to be there half of the time...

The true anti-game show.
