Shell
of a Woman is "crackpot genius" Dynasty Handbag's expert powerpoint
lecture on the "10 Greatest Works Of Art" according to the internet.
Professor Bags will "explain" (make up lies) about the work's origins
which naturally devolve into semi-autobiographical/insane narratives
peppered with songs, dance numbers and psychedelic inner monologuing.
For example, did you know that Picasso's Guernica is about PETA
activists setting free cows from a factory farm on the I5 and the
subsequent rebellion of said cows against their liberators and Jackson
Pollock's famous sloppy wiggle paintings are representations of wild
90's pasta dishes that were served in a revolving restaurant in Time's
Square - plus more true facts plus a tap dancing numbers to Black
Sabbath's "The Wizard" plus a remake of the pirate classic "Yo Ho Ho
It's The Artist Life For Me".
