If Saturday night wasn't wonderful enough, then surely Sunday's event made this weekend the best one ever! Mermaid Hawley stopped back by to give a talk on BOOBS! Wondrous, Magical and Everywhere! Painter Angela depicted expressive pictures as Mermaid Hawley told of personal events relating to her chest. And with the assistance of anthropologist Cricket, Mermaid Hawley literally revealed various brassiere she owned. Check out the photos below...

Go Ape one last time!
Join root hill’s trash pony bar this Friday night at 8:30 PM to celebrate the last night of :
Bonobos in the Mist
prints by Shelly Mars
Better known as a performance artist for twenty five years, her latest performance piece, Homo Bonobo Project, led Shelly to print making. These prints reveal a freeness that is consistent with the irreverence and punch of her performance style. Her layering of images is reminiscent of the dense jungle foliage of the Democratic Republic of Congo where Mars spent many research hours observing the bonobo populations.
Native to only one small area of the DRC, bonobos are being wiped out by civil war, poachers and deforestation.
Mars has been Artist in Residence at New York City’s Museum of Sex and has received grants from the New York State Council on the Arts, the Arcus Foundation, the Gill Foundation and the Franklin Furnace Fund for Performance Art. She is currently hosting the monthly performance series Bulldyke Chronicles at Dixon Place theater.
Twenty percent of all print sales and trash pony’s bar will be donated to Lola Ya Bonobo (www.friendsofbonobos.org ), whose mission is to rescue orphaned bonobos and eventually reintroduce them back into the wild.
