The Mangina: Coming Soon To A Stage Near You

Is there really anything better one can do with a prosthetic paper-maché cavern of simulated ladyness than to strap it on and make performance art with it? We don't think so—and neither does performer, artist, and erotic provocateur Patrick Bucklew, the one-legged muse for fiction writer Jonathan Ames. Citing his own genital-related psychoses and his urge to expose his balls at Dunkin' Donuts, over the last few years Bucklew has created codpieces with outsized, colorful, and somewhat spooky looking vaginas molded and painted into them ... and then he gets naked (save for the mangina codpiece) with assorted similarly-festooned friends and shows up at various parties, galleries, performance venues, and events in New York City and beyond.. That's art at its finest as far as we're concerned. -AR
