Supremely subversive, obscenely funny. - Time Out NY Outrageously smart, grotesque and innovative. - The New Yorker

Dynasty Handbag assumes the trappings of femininity in configurations zany and over-the-top, garbling gender codes in outrageous formulations. Digressions, rhymes, and false starts riddle her one-woman acts, providing unexpected pathways into material taken from commercials, pop songs, and tidbits of art history. - The New Museum of Contemporary Art, NYC

Dynasty Handbag’s queer failure is not an aesthetic failure but, instead, a political refusal. It is going off script, and the script in this instance is the mandate that makes queer and other minoritarian cultural performers work not for themselves for but distorted cultural hierarchy. Jose Esteban Muñoz - Cruising Utopia
