Expressing her affinity with these reptiles and referencing Lolo Ferrari (the French actress and singer famous for having the largest breasts in the world), she depicts herself transmuted into a lizard with tired eyes, a drooping red-raw tongue and a phallus between her breasts. Men ogle from the side-lines, objectifying her, plying her with money and a gift of Picasso’s Guernica.3of 3
