I've always been a little frightened of amanda lepore's boobs. How did she get that much silicon to be so perky?

ya she is very beautiful, not icky. Her boobs just stick out in ways that I'm not used to. Did you see the David LaChapelle photos of her snorting diamonds like coke in lines? I like that pic. I think it was a Tiffany's ad.

I think it was a Tiffany's ad. intahrestink!...you know, i really love david lachapelle photos...  but what do you all think of this one below? intahrestink! too, i think...i'm assuming chapelle's doing parody of a stereotype here, considering that amanda's body can be changed from "male" to "female", and could possibly also be changed from "white" to "Black" if a Black stereotype was "performed"  what do you all make of the racist connotations in this one?  that one always makes me go "eh?" |

Compelling...it's all very plastic-like and cartoonish (like the old mammy stuff)...it seems to me that with the plastic outdoor chair and the watermelon it is a reference to the stereotypical image of Blacks sitting on the porch eating some watermelon...it superimposes the racism overtop of sexism (or vice versa?-they're both there in any event), making it doubly offensive to me.
The idea of her pussy being split open and a 'piece' taken, represented by the watermelon, combined with those gross boobies disgusts me because she's been so objectified with all the plasticity I can't even see her as a person...maybe that was the intention???

Does amanda lepore have a vagina or does she still have a penis? If she does have her penis, I think it's humorous that she was given a big, shiney new vagina for this picture in the form of a watermelon.
