Versailles’ de Pins clearly has a deep attraction to women, admittedly as with many neat-o artists throughout history.

Still, it seems to me what makes him a bit different is his ability to go beyond ‘mere appreciation,’ all the way to lampooning his own lust, while at the same time keeping in mind social rights.

It’s a perilous line to walk, I suppose, but either way, I frankly enjoy de Pins’ ability to riff on all these issues in a self-aware, comedic way. In any case, he seems to enjoy celebrating womens’ rights in a pop-culture art context, FWIW.

And I think that’s pretty cool.
