I would think 9,562,183,000,000 is a lot of Barbie costumes any OTHER year, but seems like a low-ball estimate right now 🤪

Costumes I’ve done:

*Dr Benway - outfitted with garb & “Tools of the Trade”

*Hunter S Thompson - Pith helmet + cigarette holder w/joint, Hawaiian shirt, khaki shorts - literally twisted & dropped out

*Santan - Satan mask + Santa hat

>All these characters performed at key opportunities a deadpan, confrontational & aggressive Mentos commercial scenario - complete with ample rolls of Mentos in the most obnoxious flavors available<

The standard ‘Mentos Action’ was an abrupt interruption i.e. knocking a beer from someone’s hand - a brief pause to permit & acknowledge reactions w/a smile & ‘knowing nod’ - at the imminent moment of response the Mentos are presented with an emphasis to their visibility - the Mentos Theme Song is sung by myself & my accomplices (if any) while Mentos are offered/dropped like a microphone - get the hell outta there. Sure, this backfired enough times for me to develop some sense of the urgency & flow required to execute the entire action. Refinement however, I view as a betrayal of the spirit & purposes to enjoy rolling the dice in this evident compromise of one’s preservation of wellbeing. In short, I chose to accept the “Fuck all” perspective & make good of use my DaDa/Surrealist/Fluxus sensibilities to embrace the consequential situations arising from being tangential.
