IT'S OK TO HATE THE GORILLA Stefan Sullivan
|
This gorilla twerks next level, a real Missy Elliot. He got Doggie-style. In the Fremont party zone, the ladies fall in line to drop deep You see only shoeless feet. You hear only muffled cries. But off to the side, the gorilla's rival, Chuckie, looks sad. He's just taken his mask off – Chuckie watches as the ladies swarm the gorilla. He wishes he could pump Worse, the baby mask scares the children. And, that manwhore Kong takes all the oxygen out of the room. Chucky tightens his grip on the rubber knife. The gorilla keeps thrusting. If anything, the crowd is getting larger.
__ Out one night in Vegas, I saw a man gyrating in a massive gorilla suit. Ladies were lining up to get a dance or a hug. Off to the side, another street artist had taken off his Chucky mask and was standing there looking a bit envious and forlorn. It inspired this snapshot about peacocking and masculine hierarchies.
