The 'Hooker Safari' Show At The Cory Helford Gallery
Feeling the need to add some culture to their lives that required neither the prefix "pop-" nor the involvement of a frozen yogurt stand, Defamer PartyWatcher Ann and photographer Maggie Serrano took in a showing of Hooker Safari, a concrete-jungle-themed show of works by artist Natalia Fabia at the Cory Helford Gallery in Culver City. There, our fearless social chroniclers encountered all manner of body-paint fetishists and colorful art world types. The report, and an image gallery, follow after the jump.
"Streetwalkers and cheetahs" was the theme at Saturday night's opening of Natalia Fabia's Hooker Safari art exhibit at the Cory Helford Gallery in Culver City. It wasn't unlike the dream I had after watching The Wizard of Oz four times in a row on TBS this weekend: There was the lioness model with a heart of gold, the brainy creator of The Drew Carey Show, the cowardly comedian and the panda with cleavage. (Did Wizard of Oz have one of those? It's all a blur at this point.) It was cute, but was such a weird experience, both Maggie and I ended up clutching each other and chanting, "There's no place like home," until we got drunk enough to enjoy the proceedings.
