Pave: Zsu Zsu

Le jour 439 de Sarko

Enough of Mr. Obama. For now. (Don't worry. More later.)

At this year's Burning Man an art installation will pay homage to Zsu Zsu, the Crybaby Drama Queen, an epitome for the French bad girlfriend. She disdains her boyfriends, she disdains the project, she disdains Burning Man. If you should meet her, she already disdains you.

Zsu Zsu will hide in a pink heart-shaped trailer that rests on its side. The trailer is fitted with a mechanical hand that accepts "geefts" for Zsu Zsu. Outside is a replica of the Eiffel Tower, rechristened the Spiteful Tower, which acts as a mood thermometer for Zsu Zsu. In back is a storage tank that supplies the trailer with French air with its rich mix of French particulate matter and, we imagine, the signature smell that is Paris.

Zsu Zsu refuses visitors, though occasionally she opens the trailer door to spit on an unlucky few. When not admiring herself, she calls out complaints and insults to passers-by. By the end of the week everyone will have had enough of Zsu Zsu and her trailer and its associated properties will be burned to the ground.
