Burn, Birkin, Burn! And This is What Happens When Art Has to Fart!

To complement my last post, I felt it was necessary to add a background to the story of  Eastwood's daughter, Francesca Eastwood, burning an Hermes Birkin bag.  I did a little fact-checking, and it seems that Crocodile leather Birkins will run you somewhere in the neighborhood of $38K, but, let's get real, that's still a substantial chunk of money.  It's no $100K, but I'd eat that purse with ketchup for $38K, so that tells you what that sum of money would mean to me right now.

Eighteen or nineteen year old Francesca is dating thirty year old Tyler Shields who is a celebrity and fashion photographer.  The one thing that Tyler Shields does share with Clint is a penchant for the May-December relationships, obviously.  Tyler fancies himself an artist with his controversial photos that have shown Lindsay Lohan as a blood-sucking vampire, and he's also the one who photographed her with mascara-stained eyes fiddling with blood and guns.  And here's Lindsay playing possum with Tyler Shields:

Here's some more shock art Tyler Shields's did using Lohan as his muse:

There was the time he collected blood samples from 20 stupid ass celebrities for an exhibit in LA for a piece he titled "Life is not a Fairy Tale."

Oh and here's a photo he took of Heather Morris, a star on Glee, of which he had to issue a public apology, and make a donation to a domestic violence charity as damage control.

I'm digressing terribly, so I'm returning to impressionable Francesca (who I really shouldn't let off too easy) and Tyler Shields's latest publicity stunt.  They get a bag that is digustingly expensive, and Tyler decides to pale out her face and put red fire lipstick on her,  and burn said disgustlingly expensive bag while she acts seductive with her pouty lips blowing air to fan the fire, and, as a contrast to the kewpie doll fire blow, goes all S&M with her teethy dog clench on the bag.  What a proud papa moment!  Was there a purpose to these photos?  I don't think so, but he did get himself in trouble again and her too.  If that was his purpose, he succeeded.  As to do more damage control, he said he would donate $100K to a needy family if someone bought one of the photos.  I ask who the hell is going to buy one of those ART FART photos, and why does someone have to buy that shit in order for him to donate money to a needy family.  What an asshole.

I think the kind of art he produces is intended to shock and outrage people, and it's him grappling to stay in the news and keep current, so he doesn't go under and become vapor.  Plus, everyone wants to see life imitating art as we all watch Lohan melt down into a hot mess in real time.  Until people look away, he'll keep on keeping on, and foolish, young girls like Francesca will worship him as they get to be a part of art fart and some asshole's muse.  Scroll down to see photos from this piece de resistance of art farts.
