Stephanie Misa produces a video installation titled Pimp My Papaya where she approaches skin bleaching products, that are specially popular in the Philippines, as a heritage of colonialism in the body, rhyming it along the lyrics:
“cos color is so over and colonial-white rulz
I wanna be pretty, I wanna be a me
That’s privileged and fair-skinned
and bleached as can be.”
