WORLD OF WONDER ANNOUNCES "JUST BRITNEY vs. GOLDEN GALS GONE WILD" GROUP ART SHOW
Exhibition to showcase Britney Spears and Golden Girls inspired art
Los Angeles, Oct 30, 2007 – Backed by international rave reviews, World of Wonder Productions founders Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato announced today an amalgamation of their previous group art shows "JUST BRITNEY vs. THE GOLDEN GALS GONE WILD" at WOW's storefront gallery in the historic Shane Building on Hollywood Boulevard. Co- curated by Steven Corfe, Thairin Smothers, and Lenora Claire, the show is a head-to-head showdown of the two hottest, splashiest, most celebrity-filled and controversial art shows that occured in Los Angeles this year.
The JUST BRITNEY half of the show features both new, never-been-seen works, in addition to revisiting the existing works of over 30 artists who were inspired by pop princess Britney Spears, and who partook in the runaway smash hit group show earlier this year. The show's debut made international headlines on MTV and FOX news, and was reviewed in The New York Times, The Times of India, and US Weekly. Artists variously took inspiration from the singer's early untarnished bubblegum-pop years, or from Spear's shaven-headed, crotch-flashing meltdown. The show represents that whole spectrum of everyone's favorite tabloid trainwreck. Celebrity attendees during the show's initial run included Vincent Gallo, Alan Cumming, and "Leave Britney Alone" guy Chris Crocker.

The GOLDEN GALS GONE WILD half of the show also features new, unseen works, as well as Lenora Claire's established collection of Golden Girls-inspired erotica, from the equally successful show that debuted earlier this summer. Featuring nude portraits of Bea Arthur, Rue McClanahan, Betty White and Estelle Getty, the GOLDEN GALS GONE WILD show features all the liver-spotted bazooms you could want from a piece of art. The show bowed to a flurry of press in August, ruffling feathers in GLOBE tabloid and on TMZ, and is back by popular demand for it's second showing this year. Celebrity attendees during the show's initial run included Giovanni Ribisi.
