Rachel — Melas to society — lent me The Necrofiles II by Donna Lypchuk. I didn’t really know Donna, even though we were Facebook friends. Then again, that probably describes 90% of my Facebook friends. Out there in the digital mist. Donna Lypchuk’s writing makes me laugh out loud. Case in point: page 85, she offers free grant proposals.

Project: The Bingo Dabber Painting Series
Description: A series of abstract paintings created using different coloured bingo dabbers.
Amount Requested: $14,000
Artist Statement: In the tradition of Olitski and other polka dot–making artists, it is my intention to expose the unfairness of the class struggle in general by using an unconventional artist’s tool to display my confusion and anger at the lower classes’ inherent inability to keep up with the status quo as defined by the imperialistic Western patriarchy.
