And it is disgusting, and that's obviously what she means. But when there are so many bulimic people, glamorizing that aspect and making it seem a little wrong. Like, I know she doesn't mean it that way, but the model/dancer is making it look like a good thing, and the fact she's vomiting milk (or whatever it is) makes it look glamorous, when it's actually a horrible thing to do. To make it seem like "art" or "fashion" is a bit far, although I get that she's trying to make it look disgusting. She's just not making that point  |
I hate to be the one that's all "it's art!!!111!! you don't understand!!!!!!!!!!!!" but in this case, I really think this is a situation where people just don't appreciate performance artists or understand where the "art" comes into play when Millie Brown performs.
The art is not the end product, the canvas she pukes on, Gaga's apron tonight, whatever. The art is the physical process, and if Millie Brown is "glamorizing" the process at all, that's the whole
point of her performance. She leaves it up to you to decide whether that's disgusting of her to do, or if the glamour of her performances is supposed to be a commentary on society's obsession with body image (which drives people to become bulimic), or if there's simply no point at all.
I'd liken it to Andy Warhol's series of piss paintings; the art isn't so much about the resulting image, but about what it meant for him to literally be pissing to create art.
Poor girl.
