Xeni Jardin:

A young woman in the Phillipines with a personal fixation on Ronald McDonald documents her life as his imaginary consort. On Miss McDonald’s livejournal, we find pictures of the lucky lady doing laundry, hanging out at the beach, and cuddling up with the tall, red, striped one who has served so very many. Many of the image tags are broken — a pity, because snapshot descriptions like “yeaaargh Alex and his Droogs from A Clockwork Orange VS. Miss McDonald” do sound enticing.

Xeni Jardin:

The second installation in Boing Boing’s coverage of works inspired by Christo’s “Gates” installation in Central Park — “The Crackers” is comprised entirely of orange cheese crackers.

Anonymous Conceptual Snack Aficiondo says,

“My co-worker went to see The Gates this week with her husband over lunch, enjoying the unseasonably warm weather. They loved the work, and really appreciated the dedication of Christo and Jean Claude. The lunch and their work found a synergistic inspiration, and they created their own homage with the orange sandwich crackers that they bought. They took pictures, which really turned out beautifully. Who knew that Christo had so much in common with snack crackers!”
