A camcorder. A baseball bat. And an aggressively stunning pair of pumps. Frisky Jones is on the precipice of monument making, and the line between celebrity and nothingness is beginning to close.  Combining dance, media, drag, and text, IF I KNEW YOU WERE COMING I WOULD HAVE WORN EYESHADOW explores what it means to escape one's reality and in doing so what some must ultimately leave behind in a world set against us.
