Welcome to the funbubble! Over 2 hours of bizarre entertainment. Meet Shaye Saint John, former supermodel who now has no arms or legs and her special friend Kiki (a burnt doll). This series of shorts documents the daily collision of Shaye's glamorous fantasies with the realities of the physical limitations of her everyday life. These films with their juxtaposition of child-like imagery can be genuinely disturbing without a hint of blood, violence, nudity, cursing, or off-color subject matter of any sort. Watching Shaye do her schtick is akin to watching a segment of one of John Waters' early flicks. There is no question about the fine line between maddness and genius here -- it's madness, plain and simple, dizzying in its detachment to reality. Depending on your outlook, Shaye Saint John is either a true testimony to the power of art to rise above adversity or these films are hidden footage from a ward for the criminally insane!

Shaye Saint John: The Triggers Compilation
i finally finished all of these after starting them a couple days ago. i am so so fascinated by this character. eric fournier had such a unique style and i don’t think i’ve seen anything else quite like it. there’s a very eerie atmosphere in a lot of these triggers and shaye is a little offputting at first glance but she has so much personality and by the time i was done watching these i found her sooo endearing. despite her sad backstory she is so energetic and happy and whimsical and it’s oddly inspiring??? like wow no matter what you go through in life it doesn’t have to stop you from having fun and being yourself… they make fun of shaye and her burnt doll kiki but she doesn’t let that bring her down because to her kiki is beautiful! they make fun of her gams and instead of being offended she finds joy in it. what a beautiful world we live in. thank you shaye saint john. hello again!
