Short filmTranscript
00:00Cynthia Plastercaster was one of the most flamboyant figures in the late 1960s.
00:06I was trying to figure out a way to mold a penis, so I thought maybe, well, let's get together a kit.
00:12Because they all make it even more absurd and ridiculous and professional looking, you know, and create more laughs.
00:17I know that feminists of the time took a very dim view of what Cynthia Plastercaster was doing.
00:23They assumed it was grading, and I thought it was quite the opposite.
00:27So we met, and she popped the question.
00:30Pose it for you?
00:32Yeah.
00:33You mean like casting?
00:34Like, just like casting.
00:36Like you did Jimi Hendrix?
00:37How I would like for you to pose.
00:40This is how I'm going to be remembered for the rest of my days.
00:45Great rock star stud that I am.
00:53Oh my God, I can't measure up to Jimi Hendrix.
00:56It was like being in the Masters and Johnsons sex laboratory.
00:59And I guess that was all, it was just all so strangely asexual and clinical and the newspaper on the floor.
01:05Fortunately, that resulted in...
01:09There's just no way I was going to get into that.
01:11Always have been hoping for a retry.
01:14This is about an art space taking you very seriously and exhibiting your work in that context.
01:20It was one way of documenting a certain aspect of popular culture.
01:25That's how I see her role and how she fits into the world of art.
01:31I want them to look the way they look.
01:33Whoever looks good next to each other.
01:36If somebody's going this way, maybe somebody should be going that way.
01:39All taboos have been crossed except for the penis is still like unseen.
01:43I think most heterosexual men have probably only seen their own penis at this point.
01:50We were just rolling on the floor thinking this is going to crack up so many bands.
01:54And then they came to my room and I found it all amusing.
02:06My penile. Can't see that.
02:10Paint it pink.
