There is even a scene where three girls are going mental, to the point of fighting each other. However, all of the ladies seem to be in a happier state of mind once all huddled together in front of a mansion whilst wearing cat suits painted to look like naked bodies.

It is a literal burial of the effigies we have created in our video and performance collaborations over the past three years."
