Put the blame on Mame

Marianne Battle must have teeny little blistered fingers.  
Her meticulously hand-beaded miniatures depict fashion giants, screen sirens and classic and contemporary musical greats.  There's a kitschy 80s sparkle to them: they remind me of the brooches and sequined dresses my mom wore to dinner dances and fancy parties in my childhood.  
Battle's dexterously skilled fingers also crochet, but don't even think for a second that these are your grandmother's crocheted doilies.  Hell, no!  Battle crochets dildos and embellishes them with whimsical touches like semen pearls, an incarcerated Barbie or maharajah jewels.  The penii are more cheeky than erotic, so keep your hands to yourself.
