Golden Gals Gone Wild

Posted Aug 1st 2007 11:29AM by TMZ Staff

Ever pictured the gals from the "Golden Girls" dressed up in leather and whips -- or just plain naked? Of course you have. Live the fantasy -- with the new "Golden Gals Gone Wild" art show, set to open in Los Angeles on August 11.

After purchasing a Chris Zimmerman oil painting of Bea Arthur in full frontal view, Lenora Claire felt inspired to create a show where artists submitted their naughtiest versions of the "Girls." This is the most age-inappropriately sexy show since Dennis Franz bared it all on "NYPD Blue."

Allow ample time after eating, and check out the link.

4. Each to their own, I suppose, but what is with the ugly chick holding the portrait.

Talk about being hit with the 'Ugly Stick'!

7. I have to know - are the real Golden Girls aware of this? I think this is in horrible taste, portraying a respectable elderly woman in such a fashion. If Bea Arthur approved of this, I guess more power to her. Otherwise, I hope she sues. How tasteless. I sure wouldn't appreciate someone doing that to my picture.

8. It must be catching on as "alternative art". ebay just reported a listing of the same type
"topless" painting in oil, of Betty White.
It was already up to $1,498. and had 63 bids on it when some guy named Billy Williams from Oxford, Alabama hit the BUY IN NOW for $2,800.

11. That is SO cool. I think this is the same person who did that painting of Amy Sedaris as superhero She-Ra.

12. the girl holding the painting is the girl who curated the show. She loves the Golden Girls and is not in any way making fun of those Golden Girls!
She is trying to expose people to ART! So don't be a fool, be there August 11th and see what it is all about!

13. Whoah! Bea Arthur's got nice man boobs!

14. Imagining boobs onto the Golden Girls isn't "art". There isn't anything creative or artistic about it. La raque de Betty White is not destined for the Louvre.
Taken in the right vein, it's no big deal. It's fun,it's kitsch,and it's a creative form of fan expression of admiration. But, there is no way you can try and convince people that she is trying to improve the world by exposing them to "art".
