yesterday joe was like “fierce is your favorite word now” but what he doesn’t know is that i already used to say fierce all the time, it has just been revived by project runway’s christian siriano, who is my favorite gay man alive right now!
i can’t necessarily pick him as the winner because he is so young, and that has been a problem on past seasons, but i LOVE him because he makes fabulous clothes (except that weird 80s thing for SJP), is beautiful, hilarious, and has coined my new fav expression, “ferosh”!!! joe is not pleased.
anyways, here is the video for “2 hearts” by kylie minogue. i probably already posted it, but it’s that fierce:
and just because this is an obvious lazy video post:
do you remember her? it’s robyn who sang “show me love” and “do you know(what it takes to love me)”, both of which were great songs, in my opinion, but apparently her record company screwed her over and none of what she did back then was what she wanted to do, etc etc. well, a year or so ago she came out with this album of pretty awesome electro-pop that has earned her a whole new fan base all over europe. ARE YOU LISTENING BRITNEY? anyway, i love this video and song because they are funny without being annoyingly gimmicky and also i just generally love the swedes. i don’t know if it has to do with having an open society or whatever, but in sweden a) they make really good pop music, and b) both the straight women and straight men there can go around looking like big lesbians if they want and no one gives them a hard time. i think this makes them a more attractive people as a whole.
just saying.
anyways, if you like you should also check out robyn’s video for “be mine” on youtube. it’s cool and the song is really good.
finally, two addenda to the previous post: first off, i don’t think it was clear, but i LOVE britney’s old singles, and really enjoy both “gimme more” and “piece of me.” i just wish she was living up to her full delicious cheese potential. it’s a shame to see her taking herself so seriously/making a mockery of herself in the same breath. sad. also, let me just say, i do think the girl from paramour paramore has a great set of pipes and i can even see her going the distance. my cousin posted an acoustic version of “misery business” on my myspace and you can tell she can really sing, if she ever decides to stop that annoying stop-start falsetto thing all these crappy emopoppunk shit bands do. I HATE THAT WAY OF SINGING! anyway, “misery business” is officially my guilty pleasure of the month. throw me to the wolves!
