was a performance exhibiting original designs of seven artists while addressing the phenomenon of self-proclaimed celebrity.  Unknowing audience members attended a fashion show after-party as patrons of a club, eager for proximity to fame and exclusivity and driven by lust and the male-gaze. In the obtrusive presence of paparazzi, the guests were thrust into participation of a mating ritual performed by Frances Chiaverini.

The Love Boat would have been a better title.
