Dear SlapstickStuff,First of all, please allow me to thank you from the bottom of my nut sac for your fabulous creations. To a tranny wammer such as myself, who loves seeing girls being hit in the face with cream pies, your wonderful videos are like a gift from the gods. Your "targets" are delightfully sexy and pretty; your pies (foil pie dishes with a deep filling of Cool Whip on something you Americans call "a Graham cracker base") expertly created and delivered; and your skits silly enough to appeal to someone with a sense of humour as ludicrous as mine. (I was especially impressed by your recent deconstruction of the routine in which two people sit in conversation, and one is repeatedly pied while the other keeps on talking.) Without doubt, you have succeeded in turning slapstick WAM into a art form; and I am certain that in a hundred years time, your brilliant videos will be treated with the same reverence as the works of Bunuel, Pasolini, Visconti, and made the subject of serious dissertations and treatises. My only criticism (a purely subjective one, I hasten to add, based on nothing more than personal taste) is as follows: when one of your "targets" is hit in the face with a pie, and once the foil dish has fallen from their face, no attempt is made to pick the cream from their eyelids, nostrils or lips. This may seem a small, almost insignificant consideration; but as I am sure you are aware, in the aesthetics of fetishism, detail is everything. At present, in your videos, no effort is made to distinguish between the "target's" features and the cream covering their face; consequently, the aesthetic effect is no different from that created by flinging a handful of plaster at a wall. If the above suggestion were implemented, however, I am certain the results would prove to be nothing less than stunning.
Thanking you once more for your sterling work in the field of wet-and-messy video art;
Luis Drayton

Your suggestion is most appropriate "if" the work mentioned is intended to exist outside the greater plaster flung at wall ethos contained within art as a whole. It would then negate the posibility of the inclusion of the Zen elemental of truth to the moment as is. If a pie is to remain a pie, its own physical laws must also be respected. As technical skill within the medium is acquired, it may provide a greater degree of control in the use of trajectiory to achieve more crafted results. This in turn would allow the model greater position of emphasis in relation to composition as a whole but would diffuse the ambiguity that exists betwen form and object.
Thanks for the comment, Emma! Reading it reminded me of my own experiences as a baby tranny wammer... When I was 17 years old, one of my greatest pleasures was to sit in front of a full-length mirror pushing paper plates loaded with shaving cream into my own face. Peeling the paper plate from my face, however, it always irked me that I then had to spend a good five minutes or more "touching up" the effects of my handiwork, in order to get the results I wanted. Peeling the plate away and flicking the cream from my eyelids, nostrils and lips, how great it would have been to discover no further work to be necessary! So I guess the ultimate aim of a tranny wammer such as myself is (as you pointed out) not only to achieve the results I desire, but to achieve them with such "control and craft" that they are completely spontaneous!
It's a bit of a dilema isn't it? To achieve the image you really want, but to arrive at it instantaneously and without regard to the laws of physics. Every self portrait I do that little voice says "It would be so much better if only you were 17". :-)
