Glamour of OC - John Waters / Change of Life - Dorothy Malone's Collar
From the brochure for the exhibition "John Waters: Change of Life" at the Orange County Museum of Art in Newport Beach, California from October 30, 2005 to January 15, 2006.
A relatively sedate exhibition featuring photos, movies, and objects collected by John Waters -- best known for the notorious "poodle scene" in his movie "Pink Flamingos". Photo above is from one of his "body part fetish" sequences - this one of actress Dorothy Malone's collar. Malone, best remembered for the then scandalous "Peyton Place" was "not amused". Grace Kelly was not around to comment on the 8 photo sequence "Grace Kelly's Elbow".
The highlight was the "last time ever" showing of 2 early "student movies" by Waters: "Eat Your Makeup" and "Hag in a Black Leather Jacket". Both showed total contempt for the viewer (no clue what they were "about") but were "compellingly absurd and ambiguous" - stayed for over 2 hours to watch.
