Whip It! Sugar and spice and everything nice... A one woman cookin' show, first premiered in October of 2003 at the Stella Adler Theater in Hollywood. The brainchild of artist, writer and performer Sweet Kellianne; the show is more then just your everyday cooking how to or one-woman show. The evening is a multi-media showroom for the artists numerous talents which also include an exhibit of her food photography that first inspired the show. Along with 8mm home movies that she creates using a 50's Kodak Brownie and unique aprons that she not only designs, but also vary for each individual performance.

Amongst her dessert recipes with cheeky titles like the Striptease and Stud Muffins, Sweet Kellianne interjects comedic autobiographical stories that span from her childhood antics in the family kitchen to tales of the goings-on in her modern day bedroom. She is a woman who is reminiscent of a 1950's pin-up and likeable to both the sexes. The ladies enjoy her because she presents her sexuality in a light hearted manner and will admit that she burned the cake or forgot an ingredient. The men enjoy her well, because of her choice of cooking attire.

While her tales present sexuality in a myriad of ways, they also weave lessons of kindness and acceptance that reach far beyond the eye candy that you are seeing on stage. This is what makes Whip It! a unique experience. It has a variety of flavors to suit everyone's taste.

L.A. Weekly Review
In her one-woman cooking show, Sweet Kellianne looks a bit like a Barbie doll dressed in fishnets and panties, stiletto heels, an apron and not much else. She describes herself as a “girlie girl,” talks through a Joisy dialect in a squeaky little voice, and she takes petite steps (because of those stiletto spikes) as though she’s powered by two double-A batteries. She also gesticulates in much the same mechanical way. Puttering on her own set (which includes furniture upholstered in pink fur), Kellianne is a cross between girlie girls Shirley Temple and Angelyne (with a little Bettie Page thrown in for spice). She opens her show by performing a striptease. Stripping is a fetish she’s had since childhood — the broadcast of an old family movie proves this point. (She says she tried to entertain her disinterested brother with her act.) This segues to her first recipe, a drink called “Striptease.” There are four recipes in all. Kellianne proves there’s nothing dumb about this dumb blonde. Using not-so-subtle linkages between food and sex, Whip It! is a randy parade, and parody, of infantilism and fetishism. Kellianne and Majick’s recipe for charm uses suggestiveness to keep sleaziness out of the sex. The result is a show that’s equally wry, wholesome and naughty, with those ingredients stirred into a disarming froth. Written 07/29/2004 (Steven Leigh Morris)
