Look at the cans on that one

Artist Julie Djikey protests pollution as a "human car," with oil filters on her breasts and motor oil mixed with burned-tire ash smeared on her body.

That's a good look for her. I hope she sticks with it.

Sixty is a secret Project Runway junkie.

National Geographic has always run photos like that.

That's hot. But I wouldn't wander near any open flames.

What kind of milage does she get? I see cars as modes of transportation, liberators of the human spirit, and steel horses of exploration. The cars I see don't look anything like that. I think what she really is representing there effectively is the dishonest, worn out art of our day that is limited to attempting to shock us with nudity, blasphemy, or insult. How novel in 2013 - a real edgy idea there.

The last thing in the world I would think about when viewing that is a car. Total Fail.

April, always the practical one.

Jen Drohan appears in a recent Honda TV commercial and she is so cute and so very clean-looking that I fear I may not want to have sex with her.

Well... at least it's not a gigantic walk-through vagina.

So there's that.

"Look at the cans on that one"

What a horrible thing to do with oil cans.

Tattoos are wonderful for self-expression. Check out the guy in the bottom photo on this page.

Tattoos just scream discretion and good judgement.

Could she check my pistons while she's at it?

PS: I would never, ever, smear human skin with motor oil & ash of any sort. Bad, bad, idea.

@Icepick, re: "this page"

What's your problem? Don't you believe in truth in labeling?

I don't know, I think it's a good idea for her to suffer for her 'art'. But then, I'm one mean bastard....

Icepick said...

YoungHegelian, I'm fine with it. But if getting a big tattoo that says "[I won't spoil it for people that haven't looked]" on your body is truth in advertizing, maybe you'd better skip the tattoo.

The guy reminds me of my neighbor....

Icepick said...

I mean, you shouldn't advertize some things.

We may run out of oil someday but we will never run out of enviro-kooks.

She could moonlight as a chimney sweep and it wouldn't interfere with her day job at all.

She reminds me of this scene.

Is that some crack about Moochelle?

Think of it as a warning label!

Synova said...

About tattoo guy... who behaves that way while someone is watching and taking pictures of it?

If it was the internet instead of National Geographic we'd all be calling shenanigans.

chickelit said...

Banks should adopt that decor.

Synova, there are more of them than you'd think. My neighbor is one of them.

That's Oil Can Boyd's sister. She's a quart low.

Valentine Smith said...

I wouldn't bet on that not being a giant walk-in vagina.

I'm going to cut this particular performance artist, Julie Djikey, some slack. Mostly because she's based in Congo, which is usually labeled a hell hole, and has maybe simply figured out a way to make a buck off trendy French visitors.

You can see her human car in action here. Mostly sad, really.

The scourge of Rhetoric 101 strikes again.

Even black kids are now such spoiled brats that they are demanding that we power our cities and industries with unicorn farts.

This girl undoubtedly was praised effusively in her useless liberal arts classes.

She is concerned about the depletion of the ozone layer. Give her another 30 years and she can start whining about AGW. She's an idiot, and not even that useful.

Speaking of tattoos -- years ago when I worked in the hospital I was known to joke that I wanted a tattoo on my abdomen which said "Do not let Drs. ... [several names] touch me."

There are always a couple, back in the day when doctors took call in the ER, who you did not want near you. Or your pet turtle. The nurses knew.

And now, decades later, look what we do. Not only warning labels, we sell advertising.

Weird. I posted a link to that scene in Giant where Jimmy Dean gets doused with black gold. Now it is missing. Did I screw up and not post it right?
