Art Tag "Ladies Room" Piece #1

"I've got a meeting in the ladies' room
I'll be back real soon
I've got a meeting in the ladies' room
I'll be back real soon
I've got a meeting in the ladies' room
I'll be back real soon"
 ~ lyrics from Klymaxx song
My first thought was to create an uber-feminine piece with frills and White Shoulders perfume but that wasn't what the ladies room really meant to me as a young person. It was a place where girls went to experiment with makeup, blue contact lenses and false eyelashes... a place where adult fantasies were played out through makeup, dress up, smoking and drinking. That was in the 1960's. Today, it's cos-play and cross-dressing. So who do I want to be? 
Pris, the basic pleasure model replicant in Blade Runner. She had superhuman strength and the punk-edge beauty that seduced the human male. I remember her leaping out darkness in a warehouse-like building - a flash of violence and beauty.
