Today we’re talking to the spooky, kooky and glamorous Gigi Deluxe Gross.
When’s she’s not busy baking creepy cupcakes for her son’s team, this Satanist soccer mom loves to paint ghoulish works of art featuring Siamese twins, lost souls and little people.

You can see Gigi’s work at the Gallery Provocateur’s “Hellraiser- An Annual Exhibition Celebrating the Dark Arts” with esteemed author and director Clive Barker. Keep an eye out for the portrait of a porn star that Gigi’s creating for Porn Saints which takes an artistic approach to porn, a pornographic approach to art, a pornoartistic approach to religion.

LOL!
Oh Gigi. I’m gonna come to your house and shank you.
What?! I just mentioned that you had a little teenie-bopper crush on Marc- that’s all..
Those vampire teeth are killer….I sounded like a hillbilly with a lisp last year!!!\
Halloween is gonna be the BOMB! I can’t wait!
Love the Gigi giggle. If she and Larry La Fountain were in the same room it would be crazy.
This Halloween, I was thinking of dressing like the Muffler Man. You know the big concrete statues that looks like Paul Bunyan you see in front of various auto parts stores. How do I get my clothes, beard, etc. to look more like a concrete statue? Stiffy glue?
Awesome! they actually sell a spray paint that looks like stone !!! It’s used for faux finishing..

Love Gigi! She’s one of my favorite guests! Always a GREAT listen, fun and entertaining!
Oh, and that Clive Barker movie is called “Nightbreed”- great flick!
One of my favorite guests and an exciting reminder that the high holy day is just around the corner. That Chanel bag is brilliant and original. Gigi sounds like the most amazing mom. I admire the honesty. As an art historian and lover I am impressed that Gigi chooses to explore the anomaly and the obscure especially with regard to people, in her work. Exciting stuff.
ps the album artwork is incredible!
