CHRISTEENE has gathered tremendous critical acclaimfor her high-octane, radical creative vision from the Deep South that continues to destroy all notions of normality. Spin Magazine has called CHRISTEENE "a manic combination of Alice Cooper and Hedwig (of the Angry Inch)" and NOW Magazine compared her to "Beyonce on bath salts." CHRISTEENE "injects both hip-hop and gay culture with a much needed dose of punk-rock humor and attitude," said The New Yorker. Most fittingly, iconoclastic designer Rick Owens (also one of her longtime collaborators) said, "CHRISTEENE to me represents the joy of abandon - abandoning hypocrisy and indulging your id and your primal instincts that are very innocent and very charming. There is a childlike innocence in her provocation, something very cheerful and happy to what she does. CHRISTEENE is theatre, a composition of commedia dell'arte, kabuki, Busby Berkeley Hollywood musicals, grand guignol...She counters false prudishness, false rules."
