“ONE-ACT KODAK MOMENT”“Out here in the African Grasslands, squatting on Safari. Doesn’t it all look so natural? Acting like ‘one of the guys’, one of these cute little Maasai. But let’s get the roles straight here: White post-colonial superiority (that would be my placement in this composition), Objectification of Women (that would be me squatting into the camera) for those white boys back home, And the ‘We be lookin’stupid sittin’ with this bimbo in a bathing suit’ thing, you know, to help keep the status quo mentality going on out there in consumerland (that would be these admirable warriors of the Maasai tribe, totally out of character, posing here with me). It’s all about money, honey. But somebody’s figured it out and he is looking right at you."
