It's ofcourse the Candy Shop....

...by 50 cent! I made him into a lollipop. Song goes something like this " Welcome to the candy Shop...lick you like a lollipop"


My candy jacket!

My chocolate pants!

Whole outfit and ready to go. This tribute was part of a performance organized by our tutor Mark McGowan. And the performance was part of an exhibition "Alternative Risk Transfer" at The Rag Factory. There was a tv screen in exhibiton space and camera inside a small closed space. People took turns and went into that small space to do their performances. Camera was rolling all the time and whole thing was shown on that tv sreen. Hopefully Mark will put the thing on you tube soon so I can put a link in here.
Why I did what I did: Well I really do hate that song. It is probably the most sexist thing ever. The whole bling bling hip hop culture gives be creeps. Guys with bling and money, golden teeth and fat rings in every finger surrounded by bootylicious women in tiny bikinis. The women shake shake shake and are well, only sexy. It's porn basically and the most extreme excample of this all is Candy Shop by 50 cent.
So I hate the song. Hate is a good source for innovation. Much better than love or just liking something. Hate is such a strong emotion. It makes you angry. You have to have good reasons to really hate something. All this makes hate a bloody brilliant tool to work with! And it was fun. I shaked my chocolicious booty like there was no tomorrow!
