50′s redux: Amy Winehouse works it girl-group style

although her backup consists of a costume party themed “Hollywood Hookerdom.” If you replaced the slutteriffic satins and fishnets with torn B.U.M. Equipment sweats and GWG cutoffs, this could be any day in my neighborhood, actually. The girls around here don’t need to try so hard.

I suppose it’s only natural if your video is directed by the equal parts nutty and fabulous David LaChappelle, but seriously, what is it about retro-fab hookers that gay men find so fascinating?

Still: at last a justification for that ridonkulous beehive.

via Perez Hilton whose site loads sooo much better since it got attacked. And yes, that is “Ain’t no mountain high enough” that the song reminds you of. Cuz they stole the melody!

    Yes, I was wondering what all the fuss is about but this video pretty much shows she’s got what it takes. She IS a fruit loop, and the nostalgie de boue routine gets old fast when you know she’s a bloody showbiz heiress, but she sure has got the pipes.

    Oh, I dunno. That beehive always looks as if bats and spiders nest in there.
