Hopeless Handbag

A glimpse into the desperate world of Dynasty Handbag.

One of the funniest clips at last night's Experimental Shorts screening was Dynasty Handbag - The Quiet Storm. The nom de plume of performance artist Jibz Cameron, Dynasty is a frayed and acid-washed hot mess. She has all of the polyester-in-the-butt-crack desperation of Jerri Blank, but none of the inflated self-esteem.

While you should definitely check out The Quiet Storm (and the rest of the rewarding Experimental program when it airs again), until then, check out Dynasty's website. After the jump, a clip from The Quiet Storm.
