Green Pink Caviar: Marilyn Minter

Susannah Breslin pointed me to Marilyn Minter 's latest video months ago, but I didn't get around to blogging 'til now. Green Pink Caviar is described as

A lush and sensual voyeuristic hallucination. Filmed with macro lenses, the video was inspired by a photo shoot where Minter directed her models to lick brightly colored candies while she shot photos from underneath a glass plate. The models' tongues mixed the colorful sugar with saliva, slurping and pushing color across the glass surface to simulate painting.
More: greenpinkcaviar.com, some viewer reactions, Los Angeles Times interview with the artist, NBC LA, and apparently there's some controversy over the billboard installation in Hollywood.

well that was unpleasant

Hey this is actually pretty interesting. Pretty gross though. Looks like the intro to a movie from the 70's.

It's smart. I like it.

Certain, ahem, "adult" movies contain scenes much like these.

"The models' tongues mixed the colorful sugar with saliva, slurping and pushing color across the glass surface to simulate painting."

Actually, it seems to simulate something quite different from painting. Not that I'm complaining or anything.

That's 'effing gross. These artists sure are getting bored...

This is just a small step away from an genre of Japanese porn.

so i guess it's wrong of me to have found it mildly arousing

To me it was very, very sexy and not at all gross. Totally sensual.

Fantastic. Also: literally made me dry retch.

Internet Rule 91, I believe. "If it exists, there's a porn of it."


You saw it here. Slug erotica.

People sucking up their own spit. Num num.

@caldrax:
Yes, because it's *very* arousing.

it's....rule 34.

Saw this the other day on Sunset. It is rather hypnotizing, I wonder if it will distract drivers.
