102. She's a pop artist who works in various media
and one medium she works with is shocking fashion. It's just one medium out of many. (Music, dance, and video are other media she plays with.)

The idea that using shocking fashion as an aspect of performance automatically renders you an idiot...was pretty much blown out of the water by the pop art movement and radical designers of the 60s--if not much, much earlier by performers and designers of the 20s and 30s.

It's a meat dress. It was amusing. It was worn once. It was meant for photos and giggles. I think YOU'RE the one taking that single item of clothing so seriously that it overshadows the person who wore it.
