Reanne “Immaculata” Estrada, Eliza “Neneng” Barrios, and Jenifer “Babs” Wofford work collaboratively as Mail Order Brides/M.O.B., a trio of Filipina-American artists entertaining themselves with culture and gender matters. While the term “mail order bride” is often shorthand for an obedient domestic, this trio has noted that “Mail Order Bride” abbreviates to a far more formidable acronym .

Taking matters into their own well-manicured hands, M.O.B. deploys their innate charm, guile, and fine fashion sense to gently pry open the eyes of the closed-minded through karaoke horror videos and museum makeovers, in photographic psychodramas and parade performances, in bridesmaid entrepreneurships and corporate dominations.

M.O.B. “hits” have included the Asian Art Museum, the de Young Museum, YBCA, and Southern Exposure (San Francisco, CA), SJMA (San Jose, CA), Wing Luke Museum (Seattle, WA), Drive-By Cinema (San Diego, CA), McColl Center (Charlotte, NC), 1A Space (Hong Kong), Green Papaya Art Projects and the Manila Biennale (Manila, Philippines). Their videos have screened at the S.F. International Asian American Film Festival, the S.F. International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, the New York Mix Festival and the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery.
