Scope and content
Benning illustrates a lascivious encounter with a "bad girl," through the staging of gender and the interaction of Hollywood clichés: posing for the camera as the rebel, the platinum blonde, the gangster, the fifties crooner, and the "vamp" with heavy eyes. Poses with a cigarette, slow romantic dances, and fast-action heavy metal street shots drive the viewer through the story of the love affair. Benning's video goes beyond romantic fantasy, describing other facets of physical attraction including fear, violence, lust, guilt, and total excitement. As she herself says, "It wasn't love, but it was something..." It was an opportunity to feel glamorous, sexy, and famous, all at the same time.
