Golden Gals Gone Wild

Lenora ClaireOne of the good things about driving up to the car dealership to pick up your husband whose car has died on a Saturday morning is that you have time to listen to the radio, specifically NPR's Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me on the way. I've learned about more weird stuff listening to that show, I swear, and I'm still hoping to have Carl Kasell's voice on my answering machine.

Anyway, the point is that sometimes I hear about stuff I never would have known about otherwise, such as curated art shows featuring nude portraits of the ladies from Golden Girls. Yep, you heard me right, people. (And yes, that is indeed a representation of Betty White as a dominatrix in the upper left of that picture over there of curator Lenora Claire, who um, by the way, looks fabulous, no?.)

"Golden Gals Gone Wild curator Lenora Claire came up with the show's concept after purchasing the now infamous nude oil painting of Bea Arthur by Chris Zimmerman. After turning down dozens of offers from friends, artists, and celebrities who all wanted a piece of Bea it became clear that it was time to share her liver-spotted bazooms with the world. Rather than take Bea door to door, or gay bar to gay bar, Lenora remembered that she had already curated numerous successful art shows and could probably rope some of her fancy friends in to contributing their own erotic depictions of the Golden Girls." -- ColoringBookLand
Golden Gals Gone Wild opens August 11th in Los Angeles.
