For over a decade, Eliza “Neneng” Barrios, Reanne “Immaculata” Estrada and Jenifer “Baby” Wofford have worked collaboratively as Mail Order Brides/M.O.B., a group of Filipina American artists engaged in an ongoing collaborative investigation of culture, race and gender. While traditionally, “real” mail order brides are thought of as ideal obedient domestics, it has not escaped this trio’s attention that, acronymically speaking, “Mail Order Brides” abbreviates down to a more sinister series of initials that inform the darker subtext of their connivings and conspirings.

They have taken matters into their own (well-manicured) hands, using their innate graciousness, good fashion sense, and interior decorating/inner decorum skills to gently pry open the eyes of the closed minded.  They have pursued this vision through over a decade of creative endeavors such as photographic psychodramas, parade performances, public service posters, and panel discussions, plus karaoke music videos, museum makeovers, and educational workshops. Their latest successful business venture, Always A Bridesmaid Never A Bride™, has provided the world with long-needed services of three Professional Bridesmaids for weddings, commitment ceremonies and immigration-inspired marital arrangements.

M.O.B. "hits" have included public art projects for the San Francisco Arts Commission’s Market Street Art in Transit posters and the McColl Center Mobile Art Project, as well as performance works for Oakland’s Lunar New Year Parade  and “Museum Pieces” at SF’s DeYoung Museum.  M.O.B. has shown at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the Triton Museum of Art, Lizabeth Oliveria Gallery and The Luggage Store. Their film/video works have screened at the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival, the International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, the Mix Festival and the International Film Festival in Detroit.

They are committed to making the world a more delicious and harmonious place.
